THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1975 '°/uptn»mk» Eddie Dominguez '66 Joe Arciniega 74 Greg Price v HETiMI If you ivant the real thing, not frozen or canned . . We call It “Mexican Food Supreme ” Dallas location: ' 3071 Northwest Nwy. 352-857C Five teams now striking Lions, Giants join bandwagon Associated Press The National Football League players’ strike grew to five teams Wednesday with the addition of the Detroit Lions and the New York Giants, threatening to disrupt the start of a season only four days away. In an effort to turn the deteriorating situation around, negotiations on a labor contract resumed Wednesday night. Team owners, speaking through a six-man committee, announced ear lier Wednesday their firm intention that “there will be games played in the NFL this weekend. The Lions and Giants joined the New York Jets, Washington Red skins and New England Patriots in announcing their decision to strike, but the division in the players’ union grew as a total of nine teams had voted not to strike. The first of 14 weekends of regular-season games are scheduled Sunday. Meanwhile, W. J. Usery, head of the Federal Mediation and Concili ation Service, left Washington late Wednesday and flew to New York, where he and aides went into im mediate negotiations with the NFL Management Council. At the same time, union head Ed Garvey flew to New York although he did not go to the management council offices immediately. Negotiations between the league and the union, with Usery shuttling back and forth, were expected to continue late into the night. The fact that negotiations re sumed meant progress was possi ble. Both union and management rep resentatives confirmed they had been in constant contact with Usery the past several days. Union head Ed Garvey said he believed a con tract agreement was closer than it has ever been; other knowledgeable sources said Garvey was being too optimistic. The Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleve land Browns, New Orleans Saints, Denver Broncos, Atlanta Falcons and Buffalo Bills joined four previ ous teams - Dallas, Houston, Miami and Minnesota - in voting not to strike. The Steelers said they would not strike even if the other 25 clubs did. But they also said they would not support the union leadership unless it keeps the Rozelle Rule as a major negotiation item. The team’s vote count was not disclosed. Three of this weekend’s 13 open ing games were in obvious jeopardy because the three teams on strike don’t play each other. That was the major issue facing the six owners - the Giants’ Wellington Mara, Cleveland’s Art Modell, Miami’s Joe Robbie, Chicago’s George Halas Jr., Buffalo’s Ralph Wilson and At lanta s Rankin Smith - who form the Management Council’s executive committee. They have the power to cancel any or all games. Not in recent times - ones when the league has become embroiled in all sorts of legal and labor disputes - has the NFL been so torn by har dening attitudes. The players are angry and disor ganized. The owners are indignant, more or less unified, and feel they have a sacred trust to uphold the integrity of the game. And the fans - remember them?- are confused, unhappy and tired of having their sports pages taken up with endless tales of strikes, lock outs and collective bargaining when they should be reading about flashy rookies and shrewd game plans. The Patriots lit the spark in this latest dispute when they went on strike and skipped last Sunday's exhibition game with the New York Jets in an attempt to force a new contract. New England officials re sponded by locking the players out of training camp. The fire spread Tuesday with the Jets and Redskins joining the Pats on strike. What was not certain was to what extent some of the striking clubs were actually striking. The Red skins, for instance, showed up today for team meetings. However, it was not known if they would practice and no Redskin had said the club was off strike. When the Jets went on strike Tuesday, they also met in small groups but refused to prac tice. Intramurals grow with support By MARK KING Battalion StafT Writer Texas A&M is known to have one of the strongest intramural prog rams around. This is mainly because of the participation of the students and because of the interest the ad ministration has shown for the con tinuation and growth of the prog ram. These statements were out lined by Dennis Corrington, direc tor of intramurals at Texas A&M. Credit for A&M s strong IM or ganization has to go to Corrington, Jim Jeter, and their staff. Cor rington and Jeter are the heads of this year’s intramural program, and it’s their responsibility to keep ev erything in working order, as far as the overall IM picture is concerned. The IM department is a part of the Health and Physical Education De partment under the direction of Dr. Carl W. Landiss. Last year Jeter worked basically with the men s division of intramur als and in the training of officials for various sports. However, this year the IM department promoted Jeter to Associate Director of the organi zation. John Meyer, from Iowa State, was hired to take charge of team sports and officials, and Susan Schlieder changed positions and now heads the individual and dual sports. Intramurals at A&M began in 1926, and came about as a result of students wanting to participate in organized athletics without having to go to the intercollegiate level. “People here were not just in terested in being spectators, they wanted to get out and be a part of the program,” Corrington said. He also added that the administration has been very responsive to the stu dents needs concerning money for equipment, facilities, and organiza tion. In the past four years the amount of money given the IM de partment from student service fees lias increased from $35,000 in 1972, to $70,000 in 1974, to $120,(XX) this The uncompromising ones.

One of the reasons for the $50,000 jump this year was because the amount of money given the Ath letic Dept, from Student Services was cut from $200,000 in 1974, to $120,(XX) this year. The IM department noted about a 45 per cent increase in participa tion for this fall. Corrington noted that the reason for A&M’s big in crease was first of all, the amount of new students on campus and sec ondly a big publicity campaign by the IM department this past sum mer and early fall. The campaign concentrated on reaching the 4(XX) new freshmen and Off Campus stu dents with handbills, a slide presen tation, and other general informa tion about the IM program. The campaign ran at a cost of approxi mately $1050.00. Corrington and Jeter said they expected the in crease to remain consistent throughout the year. Jeter said that improvements for existing facilities were in the im mediate plans for the IM depart ment. “We’d like to get some lights for our football fields throughout the campus. This would help in scheduling games, in that some of the games could be played at night. ” Jeter also expressed a desire to have access to a few more basketball courts, besides the ones already now in use in G. Rollie WhiteC: iseum and DeWare Fieldhouse. Jim also said that a few chan) had been made in the point syste for division championships, explained that team'sports «■ count more than they had ini | past.

Today, even so-called ,f non-technicar’ courses (psych, soc, bus ad, to name 3) require a vari ety of technical calculations—complicated cal culations that become a whole lot easier when you have a powerful pocket calculator. Not surprisingly, there are quite a few such calculators around, but ours stand apart, and ahead. We started it all when we introduced the world’s first scientific pocket calculator back in 1972, and we’ve shown the way ever since. The calculators you see here are our newest, the first of our second generation. Both offer you technology you probably won’t find in compet itive calculators for some time to come, if ever. Our HP-21 performs all arithmetic, log and trig calculations, including rectangular/polar conversions and common antilog evaluations. It’s display is fully formatted, so you can choose between fixed decimal and scientific notation. Our HP-25 does all that—and much, much more. It’s programmable, which means it can solve automatically the countless repetitive problems every science and engineering student faces. With an HP-25, you enter the keystrokes necessary to solve the problem only once. Thereafter, you just enter the variables and press the Run/Stop key for an almost instant answer accurate to 10 digits. Before you invest in a lesser machine, by all means do two things: ask your instructors about the calculations their courses require; and see for yourself how effortlessly our calculators handle them. Both the HP-21 and HP-25 are almost certainly on display at your bookstore. If not, call us, toll-free, at 800-538-7922 (in Calif. 800-662-9862) for the name of an HP dealer near you.
