During first week
Corps adjusting to rituals
By AMY ROWLETT
Staff Writer
The Texas A&M Corps of Cadets
is adjusting this week to 800
freshmen and a modification in the
freshman “whipping out” ritual.
Although the total number of
cadets cannot be confirmed until
Thursday-Sept. 4
Fencing Club Meeting Rm. 260, G.

ing for beginners & experienced
fencers.
some time next week. Col. Thomas
Parsons said Tuesday that there are
presently between 2,300-2,400
members, with more married and
off-campus students expected to
join.
This year’s freshman member
ship marks a six per cent increase
over last year’s 750.
Col. Parsons said the change in
the “whipping out policy is from a
formalized conversation between
upperclassmen and fish to a one sen
tence exchange of name; hometown
and major. Also the bud initial an
nouncement of “Howdy has been
softened.
The Corps will make its reloca
tion move again this year; placing
members by field of study in respec
tive outfits. Then the outfits will be
moved into dorms.
An increase in the number of ’
pre-professional majors has created
three-man double rooms in some
dorms.
“The move wall take place Sun
day night.
No major changes have occured
in Duncan Dining Hall, but “offic
ers are making an effort to provide
freshmen a more relaxed atmos
phere in which to eat, said Parsons.
The 360-member Aggie Band,
icomprised of maroon and white
bands, is the largest outfit in the
corps. Squad 13, the married day
students in the Air Force, is the
smallest. The Corps has a total of 34
company-sized units, with an aver
age outfit size of 50 members.
Although the Air Force’s contract
quota will not be known until Oc
tober, no limiting is being made on
contracts given by the Army, Navy
or Marine Officer Training Prog-

Women’s hall, Dorm 1,
sets female infiltration
By DEBBIE KILLOUGH
Sports Writer
Women took a step forward last
year when they joined the Corps of
Cadets; they’ve moved further this
year by occupying dorm 1, Spence
Hall, in the corps area.
Dorm 1 was made an all-women
dorm after $49,923.30 was spent on
changes that included separation of
bathroom facilities and installation
of sinks and mirrors in the bath
rooms.

At the present time, there are 80
non-corps and 47 corps women liv
ing there, with room for 204 persons
in the dorm.
Jerry Mainord, Area Coor
dinator, stated that Housing will
continue to move women into the
dorm until it is filled.
Jeanne Hovenden, head resident
for the non-corps residents in dorm
1, said, T wouldn’t change this
bunch of girls or this dorm for any
thing in the world. In regards to
the corps as a whole, she said that
she had found them, “absolutely
fantastic. ” She added, “They work
with us and we work with them.”
Men in the other corps dorms
have varying attitudes to the women
in dorm 1.
Two freshmen women from
Houston said, “There are different
reactions from the men, some are
gentlemen toward us, and some are
not.
Women in dorm 1 have been
given the option of eating in Duncan
or Commons. About 20 per cent
chose Duncan. Two freshmen girls
eating in Duncan found themselves
the only women in the entire hall as
they ate lunch Tuesday.
The cost of living for dorm 1 is the
same as that for students living in
Moses, Davis-Gary, and Moore;
*235 per semester with air-
conditioning.
Visiting hours follow a rather
rigid schedule compared to the
other non-corps dorms, but four
women in the dorm said they liked
the strict hours.
Male visitors are not allowed in
the dorm Monday through Thurs
day, and weekend hours are; Fri
day, 5 p.m. to 1:30 a.m., Saturday,
noon to 1:30 a m., and Sunday noon
to 5:00 p.m.
Mainord said, “Dorm 1 is the best
women’s dorm on campus. There is
a spirit of unity that the other dorms
don’t have. It is small and the girls
are well taken care of.
Off-campus students
helped by Hassle Free
Information dissemination to off-campus students has tradi
tionally been bad at best in the past.
In an effort to clear this problem. Student Services has
developed a program called “Hassle Free.”
Hassle Free consists of people who live off-campus who
have volunteered to be 24-hour liaisons for campus services to
other off-campus students.
These liaisons have manuals which list all services open to
students. They will keep apartment complex bulletin hoards up
to date and will serve as a direct communications line with the
administration in order to pick up off-campus student gripes
quickly.
They are not arbitrators between students and apartment
owners, but they are contacts to help the students get arbit
rators, said Karen Switzer, human development director.
There are some 16,000 students who live off-campus, and
the biggest problem is so much to do with so few workers,
Switzer said.
She said that the Hassle Free representative will he dis-
tributing intramural information, Texas A&M University Rules
and Regulation books and campus calendars within the next two
weeks.
The representatives are looking for assistants. If a student
would be interested in becoming a Hassle Free representative
or assistant, they should contact Switzer on the first floor of the
YMCA Building.

drawing any conclusions from that
evidence.
Attorneys for the U.S. govern
ment told a federal court the FBI
believes the car was used by Hoffa’s
foster son, Charles “Chuckie” O’B
rien, to “facilitate an abduction of
Hoffa.
U.S. Atty. Ralph B. Guy Jr. listed
the hair samples as one reason the
FBI should be permitted to keep in
custody the car belonging to Joseph
“Joey Giacalone, 22, son of repu
ted Mafia chieftain Anthony Tony
Jack Giacalone.
In a statement filed with the fed
eral com t, Guy-stHd, “Human hair
samples tuk^n'from the car ... are
consistent with the color of James R.
Hoffa’s hair."
Guy’s statement verified earlier
reports that trained dogs have de
tected Hoffa’s scent in the hack seat
and trunk of the car.
Guy cautioned against drawing
conclusions from the hair samples.
“Hair analysis is not like fingerprint
analysis,” he said. "It will not estab
lish identity.”
O’Brien has acknowledged he
was driving the car on July 30, the
day Hofl'a disappeared, near a fash
ionable suburban Detroit restaur
ant where the ex-Teamsters boss
was last seen.
Joseph Giacalone wants the fed
eral court to order the car be re
turned, but Guy said in the state
ment that giving it back now “would
seriously impair the government’s
ability to follow through on a major
lead in this investigation.”
At a court hearing where the gov
ernment sought to keep custody of
the car, Hunterton read from a
sworn FBI affidavit which said
“probable cause exists to believe
that Charles O Brien has used
Joseph Giacalone’s automobile to
facilitate an abduction of Hoffa, and
that the said abduction constitutes
the use of force and violence. ”
Meanwhile, a federal grand jury
probing Hoffa’s mysterious drop
from sight opened its inquiry Tues
day with questioning of Giacalone.
Joseph “Joey” Giacalone, 22, re
fused comment on his 33-minute
appearance as the lead-off witness
before the grand jury.
Giacalone, son of reputed Detroit
Mafia chieftain Anthony “Tony
Jack” Giacalone, is the owner of a
1975 Mercury which the FBI seized
Aug. 9 in connection with the Hoffa
probe. It remains in FBI custody.
Hunterton, arguing in court
against young Giacalone’s attempt
to regain possession of his car, said
Hoffa’s son, James P. Hoffa, told the
FBI his father feared violence at the
hands of opposing factions within
the Teamsters because of his bid to
regain union leadership.
Hoffa’s family said he told them
he was to meet with young
Giacalone’s father at the Madias
Red Fox Restaurant on the day
Hoffa disappeared. The elder
Giacalone has denied he planned to
meet Hoffa that day.
U.S. District Court Judge Robert
DeMascio deferred a decision on
possession of the auto after hearing
90-minutes of arguments.
O’Brien, a Teamsters organizer
whom investigators have labeled a
key figure in the Hoffa mystery, has
said he used Giacalone’s car on the
day Hoffa disappeared to deliver a
fish to a Teamsters official who lived
near the restaurant where Hoffa was
last seen.
O’Brien was scheduled to testify
before the grand jury on Wednes
day.
