By The Associated Press
Supporters and opponents ar
gued Wednesday about the “all or
nothing” aspects of the proposed
new constitution.
“Contrary to what the opposition
is insinuating, voters can vote for or
against each proposition on the bal
lot individually, Speaker Bill
Clayton said of the Nov. 4 ballot.
“I think it is important for the
people to understand that this is not
just a revision but a totally new
document,” said Mrs. Alfred Neg-
ley, San Antonio, president of the
San Antonio Conservation Society
and former member of the State
Democratic Executive Committee.
“There are a lot of good things prop
osed in it but for every good thing
that’s in there, we have four or five
bad ones that overwhelm me.”
Mrs. Negley said “we can easily
amend our present constitution,
whenever necessary and that’s what
we should do. ”
“Texans can pick and choose what
they like and discard what they
don’t,” said Clayton. “Texas voters
are not a flock of sheep. To be told
all or nothing’ insults their intelli
gence.”

head of a statewide opposition ef
fort, said he felt that Gov. Dolph
Briscoe’s decision to oppose all
eight propositions caused the op
position to gain ground rapidly. “I
believe that most people who study
the proposed new constitution will
vote against it,” McKnight said.
“But if a voter hasn’t had time to
examine every controversial provi
sion, then I think he or she should
play it safe and keep our present
constitution by voting no. ”
Ben Atwell, former state rep
resentative and chairman of the
powerful House Committee on Re
venue and Taxation, said he thought
anyone voting for the new constitu
tion “is, in effect, endorsing a state
income tax.”
He said “it is my opinion we have
been just a hairbreath away from a
state income tax in recent years.
In other action Wednesday:
The Travis County Commission
ers court endorsed, by a 5-0 vote,
the Local Government article of the
new constitution. “County govern
ment needs the constitutional au
thority to establish and enforce reg
ulations in unincorporated areas,”
the court said.
Baptists
Texas Baptists were advised by
their Christian Life Commission in
Dallas Wednesday to vote against at
least one section of a new proposed
state Constitution and not to aban
don the public education system.
On education, the reports stated,
“We need to do all in our power to
move with patience, correct injus
tice and improve our total public-
school educational programs.”
The commission asked church
members “not to panic or seek al
ternative plans as an attempt to
avoid responsibility for public edu
cation.”
TMA
Directors of the 6,800 member
Texas Manufacturers Association
(TMA) voted unanimously in San
Antonio Wednesday to oppose
adoption of a proposed new con
stitution for Texas.
“The real thing that concerned
the people in the meeting was the
fact that the constitution which is
constantly being revised to meet the
people’s needs,’ said Hull
Youngblood, chairman of TMA.
The TMA board met, with 73 of
100 directors present, prior to the
group s 53rd annual conference on
Texas industry which begins Thurs
day.
About 4,000 Texas companies are
TMA members. Some 6,800 execu
tives are listed as active members.
Youngblood, president of South
ern Steel Co. of San Antonio, said,
“We feel like that the fact that the
present constitution has been
amended is a strength. The people
have amended it to meet changing
conditions.
“What we re saying is that is has
been updated each two years for the
past 100 years.”
He said there were no dissenting
votes “and we asked for a dissenting
vote. It’s not one of those things that
the legislature does.”
Strengths
Youngblood said that among
strengths of the present Texas Con
stitution were legislative sessions
each two years instead of annually,
present pay provisions for legis
lators and high number of votes re
quired to override gubernatorial
vetoes.
Youngblood said annual legisla
tive sessions would hide errors in
fiscal planning from taxpayers and
make the legislator’s job only for
full-time politicians.
A full new Texas Constitution
would also probably spark 10 years
of court battles over its meanings
and drive industry away,
Youngblood said.
Such court battles would “dam
pen the desire of new industry to
move into the state where the total
Constitution was under a cloud, he
said.
Speleological society sets drops
The Aggie Speleological Society
caters to the enthusiastic caver —
those people whose favorite hobby
is exploring the dark, wet passages
of some uncommercialized, tourist-
free cavern.
Activities are trips scheduled for
most weekends during the semester
to some cave within driving distance
of A&M. One favorite is Gormans
Cave, located at a fishing camp near
Lampasas, Texas.
Aggie cavers erected an informa
tive sign over the entrance to Gor
mans Cave at their own expense. It
tells other cavers the equipment
needed and possible carbon-dioxide
pockets within the cave.
There are extended journeys over
the Thanksgiving and Christmas
breaks. The Thanksgiving trip will
include the more spectacular
caverns in Mexico.
The 10-day Christmas trip, dur
ing the first half of January will in
clude a caving-camping excursion
into the Guadalupe Mountains of
New Mexico.
Caving skills are taught by club
members. One of these is repelling,
or descending a rope by sliding
down it using a seat harness and
mountaineering equipment.
Some of the caves that A.S.S. vis
its are accessible only by descend
ing a steep rock face and entering
through a deep hole that serves as
the sole entrance. The caving club
spends Sundays at the Bryan Fire
Departments’ practice tower learn
ing to descend or climb ropes in
preparation for later trips.
But caving is not simply fun and
games. In December 1974, two

BUYING PAGES IN
THE AGGIELAND ’76
FOR
ORGANIZATIONS
AND CLUBS
In an attempt to set precedent concerning the conflict
of recognized versus unrecognized organizations and
clubs, The Aggieland ’76 is requiring organizations and
clubs desiring to be represented in the book BE RECOG
NIZED BY THE UNIVERSITY.
Even if an unrecognized organization or club has
bought pages in past Aggielands, if they want to be in
cluded this year the organization or club must go through
the recognition procedures established by the university.
An organization or club wanting to become recog
nized can do so at the Student Programs Office, second
floor of the MSC.
The Aggieland will accept no organization or club for
contracting space after Nov. 10, 1975.
All previously recognized organizations and clubs
plus those applying for recognition have until Nov. 10 to
contract space. After Nov. 10 there will be no further space
sold in the book and no exceptions will be made.
If any questions develop call Student Publications at
845-2611, ask for Debbie Stallings or Gary Baldasari.
Aggie cavers, Boh Bliss and John
Gale, rescued another caver who
fell 40 feet in an abandoned mine,
landing unconscious on a ledge over
another 200 feet drop. Bliss and
Gale were instrumental in return
ing the helpless man to safety.
To a true caver, there is little that
is more beautiful than the many var
ied formations of a still-developing
cave or the winding corridors of an
intricate cavern.
Mum funds build house
Members of the A&M Floricul
ture Club used the summer vaca
tion to build a new greenhouse pear
the KAMU tower by Hensel Park.
The greenhouse was built entirely
by the students from funds raised by
mum sales.
“This will give students a chance
to see the practical side of floricul
ture and expand his outlook on the
profession,” Mike Aylor, club pres
ident, said. He noted that it had
been possible to get a floriculture
degree from A&M without even
being in a greenhouse. Currently
the greenhouse is stuffed with 3,000
mums to be sold at the Texas game
and various foliage to be peddled at
the plant sale. The sale will be Dec.
6 and 7.
The club is also sponsoring a
course on Wednesday nights at 7 at
•the Free University. The course
features a variety of topics from
floral arrangement to plant diseases.
Anyone is eligible to attend.
The future floriculturists alos take
an annual trip to study floral man
agement.
From the profits made on mum
sales the club also sponsors a scho
larship.
