A&M shuttle buses will soon have
ad racks, according to the University
Shuttle Bus Committee.
The ad racks will carry only news
of student organizations. There will be
no charge for putting up the ads, but
space will have to be reserved through
the office of the Director of Student
Activities.
The committee also approved the
use of an additional bus for one and a
half hours each morning.
"This was done,” said Charles Pow
ell, director of student activities and
committee chairman, “because there
was increased student loak in Scandia
apartments.”
All shuttle bus drivers are going
through a defensive driving course.
Transportation Enterprises will proba
bly have a course of its own to teach
the drivers how to drive in the near
future.
One committee member noted that
the bus system has a very good safety
record and there have been no major
accidents or injuries involving the buses
so far.
The committee will also be working
with a federally sponsored project to
study the feasability of a public trans
portation system for the Bryan-College
Station area. At the present time there
is no such system.
Powell said no new routes had been
planned for next term but two or three
more buses were going to be added to
deal with the expected increase in the
number of students. At present eleven
buses are in operation.
The current system of phoning for
buses at night will probably end next
term as efforts are being made to ex
tend the regular bus service to 11 p.m.,
said Powell.
Over 3,000 students currently have
passes for the bus system. Powell said
that it has been calculated that for the
average student using the service twice
a day cost is about nine cents per ride.

Brazos grand jury indicts 65
By STEVE GRAY
Staff Writer
The Brazos County Grand Jury, in
its first session this year, returned 65
indictments, including a sealed one,
late Wednesday afternoon.
The names of those indicted were
not available at press time.
Gregory Rodriguez, grand jury fore
man, said indictments were handed
down on offenses ranging from intent
to rape to narcotics violations.
A number of persons charged Dec.
16 in College Station with a variety of
drug violations were among those in
dicted, said District Attorney Tom
McDonald. At least three A&M stu-‘
dents were charged in that raid con
ducted by the Department of Public
Safety (DPS) Narcotic Service and lo
cal law enforcement officials. It was
not announced whether or not they

Less than half of those who re
sponded said that the new center
was comparable to or better than
the old facility (built in 1951 and
now being remodeled into an art
gallery, ballroom and entry foyer).
However, it must be noted that the
well-lighted student lounge did not
open until this semester.
“It was more homey and not so
plastic ... I liked the old way of
sitting in comfortable chairs and
looking out over the drill field. ”
Yet, while there is criticism of the
MSC decor, most of those surveyed
liked the furnishings in the Theatre
Arts complex.
“A credit to our campus . . . the
auditorium and theatres are
great . . . circulation areas of the
complex are extremely
attractive . . . compatible with
surroundings . . . pleasing to the
eye and comfort.”
‘Beautifully designed
shows a warm use of wood .... a
relaxing atmosphere. . . .furniture
comfortable .... great place to
meet people ....
(The Theatre Arts and Conven
tion Center was designed by Jarvis,
Putty and Jarvis of Dallas, while the
architect for the MSC complex was
W. R. (Dede) Matthews of Bryan.
Both areas were furnished by Wil
liam Pahlmann Associates of New
York City.)
Several also made their own sug
gestions of possible corrective ac
tion, including: “a boycott . . . an
auction of some of the more obtru
sive furniture ... a financial re
fund by the persons
responsible . . . future student
participation (and finally) . . . this
questionnaire, while it may reflect
the feeling of the University com
munity can in no way change that

brick or been purchased for an ex-
horbitant price. For criticism to be
worth the time and effort it should
be given the chance to be expressed
during the initial phases of any pro
ject. ”

were included in the indictments.
The number of indictments re
turned Wednesday by the grand jury
was rather high, District Clerk W. D.
Burley said. The grand jury
traditionally has not met in December
because of holiday conflicts. Cases that
would normally be considered in De
cember are held until the grand jury
meets in January.
The previous grand jury returned
92 indictments last August in a one-
day session. District Court Judge W. C.
Davis said that was the most indict
ments returned by the grand jury that
he could recall.
The Battalion will report Friday the
local persons indicted in the Dec. 16
narcotics raid.
The grand jury will meet again Feb.

Committee plan
freezes out high
income earners
WASHINGTON (AP) - Upper-in-
come taxpayers would be frozen out
of the tax rebate program being consid
ered by the House Ways and Means
Committee, while lower-income per
sons would get the bulk of the bene
fits.
The proposal, advanced by Rep. A1
Ullman, D-Ore., chairman of the com
mittee, would provide for $18 billion
in tax reductions for 1974 and 1975,
more than the $16 billion that Presi
dent Ford has asked, but includes no
thing for individuals with over $30,000
income.
Ford’s plan, on the other hand,
would give the person making $30,000
a rebate of just under $600, if he
claims four dependents and has average
deductions. Rebates would rise to a
maximum of $1,000 for a family with
$41,000 income and over.
At the lower end of the income
scale, Ford’s tax rebate would give a
family with $5,000 income an average
refund of about $12, and families with
incomes below $4,300 would get no
thing.
Ullman’s proposal on the other
hand, would give a taxpayer at the
$5,000 level a total tax' break of about
$260. If the taxpayer has paid no tax
because of low income, he or she
would receive a check from the govern
ment for about $200.
Ullman said his plan does the most
to help those “who have been hit the
hardest by inflation” and also does the
most to help end the recession.
The Ford tax rebate plan, Ullman
said, would give 43 per cent of the to
tal rebate to taxpayers with incomes
over $20,000, while his owii would
give 94 per cent of the relief to persons
below $20,000 income, and 52 per
cent to individuals with income under
$10,000.
