Who’s who in the conference room?
THE BATTALION
FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1975
Page 5
RHA meet delayed in shuffle
By SAYEEFUL ISLAM
Staff Writer
“APO or RHA? ’ was the question
:he man at the door of the library
conference room asked everyone
coming in. It seemed that two meet
ings had been scheduled for the
same time at the same place.
One building later, the RHA
meeting began in the Harrington
Complex Building. Vice-president
George Lippe presided in place of
RHA president Greg Magruder.
Magruder has been in the hospital
with bronchitis and said it would be
difficult for him to talk.
Ice machines will be placed in
easily accessible places on campus
next term.
A committee formed to look into
the possibility of having ice
machines decided to try ten
machines next term.
“If they are successful,” said
Lynne Bybee, committee chair
man, “we will probably have some
more machines placed on campus.
Bybee said the idea had origi
nated in the girls dorm and they
had decided to take it to the RHA to
see if others felt the same need.
The machines will be of the dis
penser type. The university will ini
tially buy the machines and will ex
pect to recover the money from
sales.
In other business:
• RHA is working in conjunction
with Town Hall to book a group for
the RHA weekend concert, April
19. Cables had been sent to the
major booking companies to see
who would be in this area at that
time. A list of possible choices
would he submitted soon, Lippe
said.
• Ron Blatchley, associate sut-
dent activities director, said that dif
ferent activities were being consid
ered to keep the morale of the stu
dents high, despite the inconveni
ence that was being caused by the
construction activities. These ac
tivities, to be termed “construction
extravaganza,” would be something
which we could all participate in,
said Blatchley.
• A resolution was passed which
stipulated that applicants for RHA
President would need to have at
least 42 hours. The resolution was
passed and the dorm presidents will

It’s possible to
graduate well up
in your class.. .then
flunk launching
your career.
Dick Watts’ success story: In 1968, as a graduating senior
in Chemical Engineering, Dick faced the same decision
you probably face today.. .where to start your career. He
chose Kaiser Aluminum. In less than six years he’s been
through several levels of management, in the U.S. and in
Jamaica, to his present job asTechnical Managerat a major
Kaiser Aluminum facility. He
E
(lie

is responsible for Produc
tion Control, Development
and Environmental projects.
Dick is just one of many
young engineers who have
proven that the chance for
advancement is better with
Kaiser Aluminum than with
many other companies.
That’s because we’re young,
diversified and growing. And
we know that young people
can take responsibility.
Don’t flunk the first year of your
career. It could affect the rest of your life.
That’s why you too should make sure you pick the
right company... the first time. If you’re a senior in
engineering (man or woman) who is interested in
putting theory into practice—fast. And if one of your
goals is to advance into a decision-making job—fast.
You should talk to one of our regional recruiters. He’ll
fill you in on the current job situation—fast.

now take it to the dorm councils for
votes. It must pass by a majority of
two thirds. The presidents will vote
the way the councils do.
• A committee will be formed to
look into dorm improvements. It
will consist of representatives from
the Student Body, Housing Office,
Fiscal Office and Director of Stu
dent Affairs. “I will be going around
the dorms with the committee
members taking down notes on
whatever improvements the dorm
presidents think needs to be done,”
Lippe said.
• Treasurer Pete Castrejana of-
ferred his resignation because of
poor grades. “I am trying to go to
med school and my grades are
dropping every term and I thing it’s
a better thing to resign than try to do
both and do a lousy job of both, ” he
said.
• David Rela, public relations
chairman, said a tug-of-war is
scheduled for Saturday at 2 p.m. in
front of Hughes Hall. Free cokes
and Dr. Pepper will be available.
Lippe said the administration was
very helpful in digging a ditch for
the tug-of-war.
The intramural directors will
meet Monday at 7 p. m. in room 410
of the Rudder Tower to answer
questions about intramural ac
tivities. Anyone with questions can
attend.

tional Psychology are co-sponsoring the gathering.

AUSTIN, Tex. (AP) — After
quickly resolving a foul-up, the
legislature finally passed Thursday a
$93 million pay raise package for the
125,000 state employes.
Gov. Dolph Briscoe immediately
signed the pay raise authorization
bill and said he would sign the com
panion measure appropriating the
funds for it Friday.
Briscoe told reporters he had
never threatened to veto a more ex
pensive, $110 million measure
proposed by the House Appropria
tion Committee but had merely
asked lawmakers to “hold the line”
on spending.
“I am very pleased that they held
the line on the first appropriation
bill to come before the legislature
this session,” Briscoe said.
As aresult of Thursday’s action,
state government workers will see
these raises on their end-of-
February pay checks:
— 13 per cent for “classified” em
ployes in salary groups 2-12, who
now make $4,920 to $12,000 a year,
and for non-classified workers mak
ing less than $876 a month.
— 9 per cent for classified emp
loyes in groups 13-21, whose
salaries range from $10,512 to
$23,220 a year, and for non-
classified workers earning from
$1,267 to $1,935 monthly.
— $124 a month for non-classified
employes earning between $876
and $1,267 per month.
— $174 per month for all emp
loyes making more than $1,935
monthly.
New fee committee
gives away $33,160
(Continued from Page 1)
to arrange the concert for the Black
Awareness Committee. Town Hall
will have to finance part of the con
cert and will take all profits and put
them back into the Town Hall
budget.
They are counting on about 65
per cent attendance, based on pre
vious concerts.
There seemed to* be two reasons
for approval of allocation of the
money. A committee member said
that the program would give stu
dents a broader selection of enter
tainment. Also, some members said
they thought blacks had been
treated as second or third class citi
zens. The money would show that
the committee was willing to sup
port them. Marsh, chairman, asked
if this was supposed to make every
thing up to them.
Rajesh Kent, committee
member, pointed out that prog
ramming on campus for minorities
has been slighted in the past.
Groups recommended by the
Black Awareness Committee were
Ohio Players, Isly Brothers, New
Birth, Tower of Power, Kool and the
Gang and Chi-Lites.
The 10-person committee next
approved $480 for the MSC arts and
crafts program with very little de
bate. MSC President Bill Davis said
there was substantial interest in the
program. He pointed out that stu
dents haven’t had a creative outlet.
The money will be used for
leather and batik workshop equip
ment and lapidary.
Mike Perrin, economics major,
asked Davis if the MSC had a re
serve fund.
Davis replied yes, but it was “all
pretty much spoken for.”
He said the money was pegged
for a dinner theater in the summer.

Most state agency employes are
in jobs covered by the position clas
sification plan. Non-classified emp
loyes include state college and uni
versity state and faculty, judges at
the district court level and above
and agency executives whose
salaries are set individually by the
legislature.
The original pay raise bill was
split into two measures, both of
them quickly passed, after House
Parliamentarian Boh Johnson sug
gested it might be unconstitutional.
Johnson said the bill appeared to be
a general appropriations bill that
also set general law, prohibited by
the Texas Constitution. The general
law provisions, he said, raise travel
pay for state employes and require
reimbursement of the general re
venue fund for pay raises given em
ployes who normally are paid for
special funds. These funds consist of
such revenue as occupational
license fees and specially ear
marked taxes.

Second in the four-part request
was $4,860 for air-conditioning and
heating the Basement coffeehouse,
room 128 in the MSC. The room
was originally a storeroom. The
committee voted unanimously to
approve the request.
The largest request was $21,170
for a video tape project. The campus
will not only have four color televi
sion sets, but will have creative pro
duction of video tapes. The four sets
will be in the new lounge (“Have to
have something to do while sitting
in the lounge besides look at hide
ous furniture,” one member quip
ped), snack bar, old MSC and the
Brown Bag area.
Programs from KAMU, educa
tional station, can also be shown on
the sets.
Three advantages to video tape
were noted.
It is an inexpensive source of reg
ular entertainment and informative
programming. It is also a creative
outlet.
The committee had one absten-
sion and nine for when the vote was
taken.
The fourth request was two-part.
Free university needed an addi
tional $100 for printing instructor
handouts for various classes. More
classes than were anticipated were
held.
The second part was $1,550 for
MSC public relations. The money,
approved unanimously, will be used
for the weekly newsletter, advertis
ing in Bryan-College Station Life-
Style Magazine each month and
public relation reports for the MSC.
The committee approved all re
quests for additional funds without
making any changes.
