Drill Team
to visit
Mardi Gras
Texas A&M s Fish Drill Team
heads out of town for some “pres
sure” experience this week at Mardi
Gras.
At New Orleans, the fish will
march in exhibition at a Tulane drill
meet in the Sugar Bowl, and in an
evening parade that forms part of
the Mardi Gras celebration.
Commanded by Ken Donnely
the 38-cadet unit will start third in a
400-unit parade on Saturday even
ing. Last year’s Fish Drill Team was
escort unit for Doc Sevrinson, en
tertainer and NBC orchestra direc
tor.
“The main thing the fish will get is
the experience of moving around
among 200,000 people,” said Maj.
James McElroy, sponsor. “It will
put some pressure on the team.”
The Friday appearance at the
Sugar Bowl will not be in competi
tion.

Lynn Thompson has been
selected to represent Texas in the
Washington D.C. Cherry Blossom
Festival in March, but she doesn’i
know why.
The Texas Society of Washington
D.C. is sponsoring the sophomore
education major. “I don’t know who
put up my name,” she said. “I think
it was just a selection by the Texas
Society.”
The festival is March 31 through
April 5, while the cherry blossoms
are blooming.
Each state is represented by
princess in the festival. The queen is
chosen by random through spinning
a wheel.
The itinerary for the women in
cludes a congressional reception, a
tour of Washington and tea at the
Japanese embassy. The week ends
with a grand ball at which the queen
is selected.
Thompson is a transfer student
from Mount Vernon in Washington
D.C. She is the daughter of Mayo
Thompson ’41, president-elect of
An ad-hoc sub-committee of the
Student Government Judicial
Board met Tuesday night to draft
amendments to the constitution.
The meeting, originally
scheduled to be a general meeting,
was revised to be termed a sub
committee meeting because a
quorum was not present.
In the by-laws the committee
changed the writ of injunction.
Formerly the writ of injunction was
valid until a hearing was requested.
Under the proposed amendment a
hearing may be requested but the
status of the injunction would de
pend on the decision of the hearing.
In the standing rules of order the
committee outlined step-by-step
procedure for hearings.
Another amendment outlined
grounds for which the chairman of
the J-Board could be removed. At
present the chairman can be re
moved and replaced by the Senate
at will. Under the amendment the
Chairman would have to resign,
graduate or be removed on certain
linn
sities-
grounds which are yet to be deter- f
mined.
They also proposed that the writ I
of injunction and the writ of man- L
damns be placed in the A&M stu-
dent constitution.
The committee further recom
mended to get rid of Section 8 of the
constitution which says that the
J-Board should ratify any electionor
referendum within two days.
The proposed amendments will
go up for ratification by the J-Board
at 5 p.m. Tuesday.
AUSTIN (AP) — The mugh-
discussed three-hqlfe.golf cou rse and
duck pond at University of Texas-
Permian Basin may not have been
illegal but it was bad judgment, in
vestigators said Tuesday.
UT Chancellor Charles
LeMaistre released a summary of
the investigation report but said he
would have no comment “and I have
suggested that other system ad
ministration officials adopt a similar
position.”
Former UT-PB President B.H.
Amstead resigned after being
cleared by LeMaistre of charges
that he deliberately misled the
House Appropriations Committee
in 1973 when he testified that he
thought no state funds were used to
build the golf course and pond on
the Odessa campus. Later he said
state funds were used.
The Tuesday report said the total
cost of the golf course, directly and
indirectly, was $57,494.
“Even though there were no ex
penditures that would appear to be
illegal, the administrative and fiscal
judgment in handling this entire
project is poor at the best,” said the
report.
UT administrators and auditors
also looked into reports that Ams
tead set up a private corporation to
purchase recreational facilities for
faculty and staff members. The in
vestigation report said 33 persons
were questioned and six said they
did not join Faculty and Staff En
terprise Inc. FASE voluntarily.
Two of those interviewed said
- they were told by Amstead their
salaries would be raised to cover the
$12 monthly dues to FASE. The re
port said records do not show any
increases.
All information gathered by UT
investigators has been turned over
to the Ector County district attor
ney.
Another report released Tuesday
covered the “excellence fund”
maintained by a group of Odessa
citizens to solocit funds to be used to
benefit UT-PB.
Even though these funds were
expended at the discretion of the
UT-PB administration in a manner
they considered consistent with the
best interests of an merging institu
tion, the accounting for and utiliza
tion of certain of these funds does
not bear the stamp of good adminis
trative judgment or fiscal manage
ment,” the report said.
