Home game
date tickets
will be rare
Date tickets are still available for
the Texas A&M-Mississippi football
game this Saturday, but few, if any,
will be available for the remaining
home games.
According to Wally Groff, athletic
business manager, almost 17,150
season tickets have been sold. Since
season ticket holders are guaran
teed seats for all home games, and
since there are 18,533 student seats
reserved for each home game, that
leaves 1,383 tickets to cover date, or
“guest”, ticket demands.
Also included in that group are all
A&M students who did not purch
ase the season ticket coupon, but
plan to buy tickets on an individual
game basis.
Date tickets for the A&M-
Mississippi game were available be
cause the game was not a sell-out
and extra sections were opened for
students. However, the Baylor and
University of Texas games are al
ready sold out. No extra sections can
be opened due to contractual ag
reements with these two schools.
Date tickets may be available for
the Illinois and SMU games, unless
the remaining 1,383 seats for each of
these games are sold as season tic
kets. In that case, there will be no
date tickets.
For the A&M-Mississippi game,
seniors alone purchased 1,442 date
tickets. Juniors purchased an addi
tional 1,024 date tickets while fi
gures for sophomore date ticket
sales are not yet available. These
sales have restricted seating in the
sophomore and freshman student
sections. Although not a factor in
this week’s game future high sales of
date tickets to upperclassmen will
restrict the number of date tickets
for underclassmen. For example, if
there are 1,000 tickets left after sea
son ticket sales, and seniors buy all
of these as date tickets, there will be
no date tickets for the other classes.

Student senate limits sales
By VICKIE ASHWILL
StufT Writer
The Student Senate last night li
mited ticket sales to the A&M-LSU
game to currently-enrolled A&M
students.
The senate also voted to keep the
limit on tickets available per student
to six, with the distribution system
the same as for home games.
The original bill presented by Joe
Marcello asked the senate to limit
the number of tickets available per
student to two in order to limit
“scalping (resale of tickets at prices
higher than face value.)
Senators argued that under such
conditions ticket lines would be
longer and student groups traveling
to LSU might be broken up.
Marcello said that the original in
tention of the proposal was to give
A&M students a fair chance to get
tickets that they had already, in
part, paid for through Student Ser
vices Fees.
A&M is allowed only 888 seats for
the Sept. 20 game. An additional 80
were reserved last year by the
Nation
Memorial Student Center Travel
Committee.

ernment President Jeff Dunn
briefly covered his goals and ambi
tions for the upcoming year.
Dunn emphasized the need for
communication between the senate
and the student body. He also said
he hopes for more student input on
university and community commit
tees.
T hope that professor evaluations
of the entire campus can be ac
complished this fall,” Dunn said,
“and hopefully choice of professors
by spring. ”
“Student Senate should have
more control over Student Services
fees, ” he continued, “and we should
work toward the establishment of a
University ombudsman to handle
student complaints about the cam
pus.
Five new bills were put before
the senate for presentation and
Taps played for 4

Judge Taylor submits it to the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Calley conviction stands
Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — The Army court-martial conviction of William L.
Calley Jr. for the murder of 22 Vietnamese civilians at My Lai was rein
stated by a federal appeals court Wednesday.
The 8-5 decision by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected
the defense contention, upheld in lower courts, that publicity had made
Calley immune to trial. The ruling dealt with legal issues remaining in the
case.
However, the 32-year-old former lieutenant remains free on bail,
living as a civilian in Columbus, Ga., since his conviction was overturned
Sept. 25, 1974. The Army has said that even if Calleywost the appeal he
would immediately be paroled.

Christians from the nearby village of Zagharta — has killed at least 100
persons and wounded about 250 by official count. But security officials

more bodies were found in the streets Wednesday.
Electronic ‘bug’
remains unused
By JERRY NEEDHAM
Stair Writer
The College Station Police De
partment has had a $500 miniature
electronic surveillance device for a
year now but has yet to use it in an
actual criminal case to gather evi
dence.
The device, commonly known as
a “bug, was purchased jointly by
the Brazos Valley Development
Council (BVDC) and the police de
partment.
The device was purchased from a
grant obtained through the Crimi
nal Justice Division of the BVDC.
“We’ve got it to use and I’m sure
we ll use it eventually. Police
Chief Marvin Byrd said Tuesday.
He said the device is legal.
Byrd said the only attem pt to use
it was in the concrete confines of
the police department where re
ception was barely audible in the
next room.
He said the device is supposed to
have an effective range of one-
eighth to one-quarter of a mile.
The transmitter itself, kept
locked in a storage closet at the
police station, is easily concealed
on a person as it is only slightly
larger than a pack of cigarettes.
A wire leading from the trans
mitter can be attached to any sort of
small microphone, but was origi
nally equipped with a microphone
that looks like a silver fountain pen.
The police also own a homing
device but it also has not been used
in a case. When attached to a car.
the device transmits a signal to a
nearby receiver in a police vehicle.
The listener can then determine
the distance and direction of the car
being followed by the changes in
the signal’s tone.
Byrd said the homing device has
been used only in a test exercise.

Fromme’s friend
lists six more targets
Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — Sandra Good, a roommate of Lynette
“Squeaky” Fromme, said Wednesday that at least six Southeastern
businessmen and their wives are the targets of assassins.
“Assassinations are necessary since people are asking for trouble by
hurting the Earth and from what they are programming on televi
sion,” Miss Good told Bob Ruby of WWL-radio in a taped telephone
conversation from Sacramento, Calif.
Ruby said he had phoned Miss Good to get more information about
Miss Fromme, indicted Wednesday on a federal charge of attempting
to assassinate President Ford.
But Miss Good, also a follower of Charles Manson, instead said an
“International Court of Retribution would kill the following
businessmen within the station’s broadcast area:
— Floyd Lewis of New Orleans, president of Middle South
Utilities, Inc., which Miss Good said threatened the people by plan
ning to build nuclear reactors:
— Gordon Ryan of New Orleans, an attorney and executive with
Starr Broadcasting Co.
— Fred Kaiser of Atlanta, Ga., a candy manufacturer;
— Herbert Grey of Atlanta;
— William Berrin of Atlanta;
— And Richard Davis of Houston, Tex., an oilman.
Miss Good said the businessmen’s wives would be hacked to death
first, since they are guilty of pushing their husbands to continue
instead of reconsidering their actions.
“Anyone who pollutes the Earth, destroys wildlife, or cuts down
trees had better stop now or they and their wives will be terribly,
terribly murdered, said Miss Good.
But she avoided saying she was personally involved in the plots,
saying only that she had direct access to information on who would be
assassinated.
In the 30-minute conversation, she also said Manson’s “family” was
also deeply involved.
A spokesman for WWL said Miss Good also threatened Ruby’s life,
but that was edited out of the tape which was broadcast. He said,
however, that the FBI passed by the station Wednesday to pick up a
copy of the taped conversation.
