SG Book Mart reopens
Student Government will again
sponsor a Book Mart this spring.
Curt Marsh, former vice president
of finance, says it will give students
the opportunity to save money on
used textbooks and to make money
on their own old books.
Starting May 7 and running
through May 16, used books can be
taken to Room 216 of the MSC and
sold for 60 percent of their original
value.
Only those textbooks that will be
used again will be bought.
The books will be sold for 65 per
cent of their original value, with the
5 percent margin of profit being
used to handle labor costs, said
Marsh.
By utilizing the Book Mart, stu
dents can get the most out of their
dollars spent on texts, he said. Local
stores, including the MSC Books
tore, Loupots, and the University
Bookstore, only pay 50 percent of
the original value for used books,
and charge 75 percent when the
books are resold.
The Book Mart will be open from
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Room 216, A, B,
and E. in the MSC.

Williams said, “A&M is not a
selected case. Dozens of our col
leagues are going through the same
thing. They are very serious about
keeping track of time. They want to
know tbe time that the department
head spends in teaching and re
search as compared to the percen

gets in federal dollars.”
Williams added that the federal

of “unethical practice.” “If any of
you are doing anything that could be
construed as unethical, however the
government decides to define
THAT, I would suggest that you

stop it,” he said, chuckling.
Williams also said, “We are an
open institution. A university is
easy to attack, easy to criticize, so
most efforts to gain power are tried
out on universities.
“All of this is purely informa
tional, and not intended to cause
great concern. A&M is not in trou
ble with anyone in the state or the
federal government, except for the
possible exception of the Poole ver
sus Jack Williams case,” said Wil
liams.
He invited everyone to attend
“Godspell,” saying that Dr. Joy had
done a marvelous job with the pro
duction and that the kids deserved
really large crowds.
The council then approved the
recommendations of the Cur
riculum Committee concerning the
addition of several new courses.
Several courses were withdrawn.
The council agreed to take a
proposal to the Board of Directors to
offer a Master of Public Administra
tion degree.
All of the candidates for under
graduate degrees were passed by a
voice vote. There will be nearly
2,300 graduates this spring, the
largest number ever to graduate in a
single class. For the ceremony on
Friday, May 9, the speaker will be
Dr. J. Boyd Page, president of the
Graduate Council in the U.S. For
Saturday, May 10, the speaker will
be Jim Aston, chairman of the board
of the Republic Corporation of
Texas and former president of Re
public National Bank of Dallas.
Aston is an A&M graduate.
Dr. John Koldus asked that the
council consider the recommenda
tions of the University Rules and
Regulations Committee, so that
they might be incorporated in the
Rules and Regulations Handbook
for distribution to the students at
freshman orientations. Dr. Wil
liams suggested that “we delay this
whole operation, since the group
hasn’t had a chance to study the
proposals.” The rules changes were
set to be the first item on the agenda
for the next meeting, which will be
held May 22.
Texas A&M University's College of Veterinary Medicine will conduct a
clinical microbiology workshop for small animal practitioners and techni
cians at the end of this month.
Part of a program of continuing veterinary medical studies, the limited
enrollment program runs May 31-June 1.
Instructing the class is Dr. Russell Simpson, assistant professor in the
Department of Veterinary Microbiology.

Staff doctor
sought for
health center
The University Health Center is
seeking a staff doctor to help with
the long waiting list of women at
A&M seeking birth control ser
vices.
However, Dr. Claude Goswick
reported Wednesday “a very defi
nite prospect who may be in
terested in coming to Texas A&M. If
everything works out, the Health
Center could have a full-time
gynecologist next fall.
As of now, all birth control-
related appointments are booked up j
Ojn. l-n.j-. for the remaining weeks of this]
|j|| | f iQ | semester. New appointments for’^
■ ^ the summer session will not be ^
made until that session begins.
With an enrollment next fall that!
may be in excess of24,000 students,
one-fourth of those women,
gynecologist on the Health Center
staff would be a great help, Dr.
Goswick said.
“I sincerely hope,” he added,
“that the birth control waiting list
will not be as long next fall as it has
been this year.”
to rebuild
‘fish pond’
Officers of Texas A&M ’s Class of
1977 have signed a $5,000 note for
renovation of the “Fish Pond. ”
The document was executed
Thursday by Class President Kelly
DeWitt of Dallas with Bank of A&M
President Dennis Goehring.
Originally, the gift of the Texas
A&M Class of 1938, the fountain is
between Sbisa Hall and the Univer
sity Health Center. It was the
former site of yell leader dunkings
after football wins.
“The bottom is cracked, the
pump’s broken and its pipes are
rusted,” explained DeWitt. Work
ing with Physical Plant personnel,
the class has arranged to renovate
the “Fish Pond,” including widen
ing and deepening it.
Work will begin soon. Comple
tion is expected by next fall, when
the ’77 group starts its junior year.
The project has the approval of Vice
President for Student Services Dr.
John Koldus.
