At UT Austin
Students, faculty consider strike
Associated Press
AUSTIN — Student protests
over the appointment of Dr. Lorene
Rogers as president of University of
Texas at Austin may turn into a
“camp-in” on the campus, protest
leaders said.
About 200 students gathered
Monday night in a meeting called by
Students Helping Academic Free
dom at Texas SHAFT, a coalition of
eight campus groups to plan a de
monstration Wednesday.
SHAFT leaders said their rally
permit lasts only from noon to 1:15
p.m. Wednesday and the group
cannot legally sanction a mass
gathering after that. Steve Col
eman, chairman, said students
would be asked to boycott classes
following the rally. He suggested a
“camp-in,” either on campus or at a
local park, Wednesday night for a
“show of solidarity.”
Earlier the 40-member student
Senate endorsed the Wednesday
rally and boycott but balked at a
blanket endorsement of all possible
action by SHAFT. Some students
expressed fear the coalition s plans
were more radical than the Senate
would propose and some ques
tioned whether the coalition rep
resented the student body.
SHAFT is calling for Dr. Rogers
immediate resignation and ap
pointment of an “effective presi
dent” and “education and mobiliza
tion of the students and faculty.
The protests began after UT re
gents last Friday ignored recom
mendations of a faculty-student ad
visory committee for a new presi
dent and named Dr. Rogers, who
had been acting president for a year.
The three UT regents who voted
against the appointment of Dr. Ro
gers said they would issue a state
ment later today in support of her.
Thomas Law, a Fort Worth
lawyer and one of the three who
opposed the appointment, said he
thought it was “essential that since
the majority of the board did elect
her that she be given the opportun
ity to serve in the best way she can. ”
Law said he had talked to regents
Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson and James
E. Bauerle, who also opposed the
appointment, and they woidd re
lease a statement of support later
today in Austin.
Law said the statement would be
given to student and faculty leaders
planning the boycott.
Dr. Rogers was named acting
president by UT system Chancellor
Charles A. LeMaistre last year, re
placing Dr. Stephen H. Spurr who
was fired.

Lots too little
K-D area suffers
By PEGGY INGRAM
Battalion Staff Writer
The price for not walking is $5. Or
$10 if you make a habit of it.
Perhaps those suffering the most
from this year’s enrollment overload
are the students parking behind the
Corps or Krueger-Dunn Dorm
areas.
There just aren’t enough parking
spaces in lot 24 to accommodate the
hoards of cars, said University
Police Chief O. L. Luther Monday.
But apparently the problem is
deeper than that. Some Corps
people say they feel robbed of their
senior privileges.
Tm a senior, but I’ve had to park
way over on the other side of the
football field, said Paul W. “Bill"
Toler of the Corps.
He said Monday that, as Seniors
search for privileged parking nearer
the quad, something like the
“domino effect occurs. Corps
seniors, in effect, push juniors out of
parking areas, and they in turn push
out sophomores, who push out
freshmen, he explained. Often the
only remaining parking is no less
than a 20 minute walk across cam
pus or “halfway to Navasota,” said
another cadet.
Even girl drivers, who are
theoretically guaranteed priority
parking in the first 14 rows behind
the Krueger-Dunn dorms, have
their complaints.
“I timed it one time. It took me 30
minutes of driving around the park
ing lot (Lot 24) to find a place. I just
drove around and around until
somebody backed out,” said Jane
Branscome, a senior living in
Krueger.
1 “Some girls just don’t move their
cars anymore. If you go out for a
snack or something and hav e to hike
back (from a parking area across
campus) you’re wiped out, she
said. “And when you’re tired any
way, you don’t like to drag a sack of
groceries all that way. It s getting to
where it’s not worth it," she said.
So, while some of the girls’ cars
are remaining in their premium
places, civilian, corps, and a sus
pected number of illegally-parked
day students fight over these red
sticker parking lots.
The two new dorms (Aston and
Mosher), more students, and con
struction have all contributed to the
parking problem, Luther said.
His department has issued 11,740
student parking stickers for the
7,593 student parking spaces he
said. The 4.147-space sticker differ-

Councils
counter
GT offer
By JERRY NEEDHAM
Battalion Staff Writer
The City Councils of Bryan and College Station on Mondav
offered General Telephone Company of the Southwest increased local
serv ice revenues of $219,307.
The offer is approximate!v 20 per cent of the $1,073,193 re
quested by General Telephone on April 28.
The proposal by Bryan and College Station, submitted in a letter,
stated, “The difference in the amount proposed by General Tele
phone Company of the Southwest, and the amount now proposed by
the Cities, arises from a difference of opinion as to the law and
accounting principles to be applied in arriv ing at the fair rate of
return.
The cities’ proposal was based on information furnished by Gen
eral Telephone, Bill McMorries and Associates, Inc. and from citizens
in the community.
McMorries is an Amarillo-based phone rate consultant who was
also hired by both cities during similar rate proceedings with General
Telephone in 1972-73.
Bryan and College Station made sev eral concessions on a number
of issues in their proposal to avoid a possible courtroom confrontation.
The proposal made it clear that if litigation is initiated by General
Telephone, the cities approval of the concessions would be with
drawn.
“The City of College Station is prepared to respond to General
Telephone Company in court if a satisfactory agreement cannot be
achieved. North Bardell, College Station City Manager, said Mon
dav.
Bryan and College Station fought General Telephone in court in
1973 in a similar battle ov er the definition of fair rate of return.
B. A. Erwin, div ision manager of General Telephone, said late
Mondav afternoon thev had receiv ed the cities proposal and that vve
are studying it.
