Perspective changes in light of other ideas
By CYNTHIA MACIEL
■ The primary purpose of this col-
Bimn is to help Battalion readers
meep in touch with other univer-
Hities. Hopefully, it will show at-
pitudes on other campuses about to
pics currently in debate here, as
veil as point up topics we may have
[iver-looked. Yes, Jack, there is a
vorld outside Bryan-College Sta-
|ion.
The most current campus debate
■s whether or not to allow a student
pub on campus. Perhaps a little
feed-back from other schools would
help put our attitude into perspec
tive.
The most advanced university, as
far as campus pubs are concerned, is
the University of Texas at Austin.
The Texas Tavern opened, selling
alcoholic beverages on campus. It
was described as a special kind of
place with a warm, informal atmos
phere. People come together for
food and for drink, for interaction
and for discussion. They are coming
together for relaxation and for en
tertainment, as well as for getting to
know each other. Prices are com
petitive or slightly lower than those
charged by Austin establishments.
Live music entertainment, films or
speakers are featured every night.
Beer and wine will be sold begin
ning at 11 a.m. and mixed drinks
beginnings p.m. weekdays. Drinks
will be sold at all hours on
weekends.
Scholarly Rice follows Texas in
pub progress. They are scheduled
to begin construction of an under
graduate pub in February. It is
pending approval of the Rice Board
of Governors. They are expected to
approve the necessary funds. Beer
price estimates are 40 cents a mug
or $1.85 a pitcher.
The students at Texas Tech are
advocating the sale of alcoholic be
verages in their University Center.
Texas Tech’s Resident Hall Associa
tion President Bob White said, “It
would be ideal for students in that it
would be there in one place where
all students could obtain it. It would
also add to the University Center
entertainment scene. More stu
dents would want to come to the
U.C.”
Their University Center Director
said he thought the sale of alcoholic
beverages would add revenue to the
slumping hinds of the Center.
In the University of Houston’s
newspaper there was an editorial
complaining of the uneventful entry
the serving of beer on campus
caused. The author added, “Why
does UH have to be the cultural
low-rollers of the universities in the
state. Except for Texas A&M,
where (as the Texas Observer de
scribes) culture and agriculture are
at death grips, UH is the high point'
of boredom and frustration. ’’
However, at North Texas, consi
dered a liberal school by many, stu
dents are gathering signatures for

They still live in a dry county.
Elsewhere on campuses, in the
Methodist stronghold of Southern
Methodist University, Marat/Sade
was performed in their Student
Center Grand Ballroom. They
began their show with an electronic
vaudeville collage called, “There is
no Market for Surrealist Comedy.”
The Austin Public Library is offer
ing between 7,500 and 8,000 re
cords for people to check out. They
can be checked out just like books.
They also have a growing collection
of tapes. The music categories range
from classical to country and west
ern.
Also causing discussion on cam
pus is the feasibility of a campus
open-air radio station. At East Texas
State University, two radio stations
in the Speech-Drama Department
are planned to go on the air in Feb
ruary and March. The Corporation
for Public Broadcasting (CPB) ad
ministers federal money for use by
public broadcasting stations. It re
cently changed its requirements
from three to five permanent full
time employees for a station to qual
ify for the grant.
At North Texas the campus radio
station KNTU-FM has recently
purchased new equipment and is
changing its format to include jazz
and classical music as well as pop.
Erwin’s trial
could move
AUSTIN (AP) — Fifteen more
witnesses testified Tuesday at a
hearing on a change of venue mo
tion by former University of Texas
Regent Frank Erwin.
Tuesday’s testimony raised the
total of witnesses called to 26-19 of
whom have said Erwin could not
receive a fair trial here on drunken
driving charges.
John Augustine, assistant Travis
County attorney, said both the pro
secution and defense planned to call
as many as six more witnesses each
Wednesday.
Augustine said the hearing could
last until Thursday morning.
Austin police arrested Erwin on
the drunken driving charge Oct. 8.
Reyes thwarted
in try to oust
affairs director
AUSTIN (AP) — The Senate
Nominations Committee ignored a
challenge Tuesday and recom
mended confirmation of former
Corpus Christi Mayor Ben
McDonald Jr. for a new term as di
rector of the Texas Department of
Community Affairs.
The appointment now goes to the
full Senate, where a two-thirds vote
is necessary to confirm McDonald.
Paul Reyes, whom McDonald
fired in April as director of planning
and assistance, urged the commit
tee to recommend against confirma
tion.
Reyes, still unemployed, said
McDonald had wrecked the local
planning and management assis
tance program “through his mis
management.’
He called the department of
community affairs a “mismanaged
department that should be
evaluated and reorganized by the
legislature.”
Reyes said he has filed discrimi
nation charges against McDonald
with the U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission.
But Sen. Raul Longoria,
D-Edinburg, a law school classmate
of McDonald, defended the direc
tor, saying 22 per cent of the
agency’s employees are Mexican-
Americans.
