Ambulance complaints
An estimated several thousand
students drank beer and danced to
the progressive country music of T.
Gosney Thornton & Band at the
North Gate Merchants’ block party
Saturday night.
While Gosney and company were
filling the streets the crowd was
emptying the beer kegs and several
merchants sold all the beer they
had.
Spokesmen for the North Gate
Merchant’s Association pronounced
the block party a roaring success and
suggested that another such gather
ing may be planned later this year.
The unannounced hit of the even
ing was the mime troop from Peace
able Kingdom, an artists’ commune
Washington-on-the-Brazos.
Costumed in white-face makeup,
the troop circulated through the
crowd sticking colorful buttons to
foreheads, wristwatches, arms and
clothing.
Chris McCarthy, leader of the
troop, explained that the Peaceable
Kingdom people simply wanted to
get crazy with the crowd.
The T. Gosney Thornton Band is
centered in Austin and the sound
crew was supplied by a local group,
Evenstar Productions.

THE BATTALION Page 5
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1975
Over 24,000 new
students enrolled
By JERRY NEEDHAM
Staff Writer
The College Station City Council
voted Thursday to request a special
meeting of the Ambulance Commit
tee to investigate record-keeping by
Sherrill Ambulance Service.
The request was prompted by a
discussion among councilman con
cerning the ambulance service in
Brazos County. The council de
cided that a proper investigation
could not be conducted unless accu
rate records could be furnished by
Sherrill.
Since the ambulance operates in
the county under permits from
Bryan, College Station and the
county, the council expressed con
cern that it could not act unilaterally
on the matter.
During the meeting, E. B.
Smith, of 1205 Guadalupe St. in
College Station, complained of in
adequate drainage in the
Guadalupe Street area.
“We re not sure that adequate
planning is done. The time to start
looking into it is when the street
construction plats are approved.”
According to George Ford, direc
tor of public works, considerable
machinery, time and effort would
be needed to correct the problem
existing on Bee Creek which runs
near Guadalupe Street.
The drainage problem was refer
red to the city Public Works De
partment, which is expected to
make a recommendation to the
council at the next meeting.
A citizens’ committee was ap
pointed to study the utility-rate
structure for College Station.
Members of the committee are
Norman Erv, Clint Phillips, Susan
Garner, David Maxwell and David
Ready.
The ranks ol Texas A&M’s student population swelled to “well over
24,000” Monday, according to A&M President Jack K. Williams.
This figure also included the schools at Galveston and Texarkana that
are part of the A&M system.
“Regardless of its size, 1 hope Texas A&M can always be the kind
of school you want it to be, Williams had commented earlier in the week
to a group of Aggie mothers.
Although enrollment figures are not yet official, it has been estimated
that 6,847 women will attend classes at A&M this fall. The Corps of Cadets
hope to have approximately 2,400 members.
Final enrollment totals will not be available until September 5, the
last day for enrolling or adding classes.
In addition to the tremendous growth of the student population, 226
new faculty members have joined the rolls at A&M.
U
Seminar to train leaders
m
Training student leaders for the
future and setting up a group of “un
spoiled” observers is the two-fold
purpose of a new freshman leader
ship seminar.
A group of 20 freshmen were cho
sen to participate in the hour and a
half, once a week seminar.
The original group of 29 was
selected from freshmen who at
tended the June and July orienta
tions conducted by the nine deans of
colleges.
These 29 were invited to take the
non-credit, experimental class of
fered by Carolyn Adair, director of
student activities.
The 12-man, 8-woman group was
selected according to sex, major,
background and corps-affiliation.
The group represents rural and
urban backgrounds, every college of
study and three Corps members,
said Adair.
“The group will be taught about
Texas A&M, its role as an academic
institution and its corresponding
role as a research and service or
ganization in the state and in the
nation,” said Adair;
Adair will serve as coordinator of
the group. She hopes to get feed
back from the group in an open
manner, so that Student Services
can better aid the adjustment prob
lems of freshman students.
The group will attend Board of
Regents’ meetings, dine with A&M
President Jack K. Williams, tour the
cyclotron and possibly attend a
Texas legislature session.
