Coke Building crowded
by waiting students
At 8 a.m. Monday the students
came. They stood in lines that wove
in and out of the doorways of the
Coke Building waiting to get copies
of their schedules, fee slips or both.
“About 500 envelopes filled this
box,” said a worker for the Fiscal
Office, indicating a box of mail
stamped “RETURN TO SENDER.”
“And the students who came for
them were really surly.” All the en
velopes contained schedules and fee
slips.
The fiscal office had mailed the fee
slips to the students’ local addresses.
“This is normal procedure for the
spring semester, ” said Clark Diebel,
Access to the University Center
by way of Military Walk has been
hampered by continuing campus
construction. Lamar street is cur
rently being demolished and access
to the Memorial Student Center is
now limited to the far east by the
Trigon and far west by Caine Hall.
The concrete mall in front of Hart
Hall has been totally fenced off and
cannot be crossed by bicycle.
The Geology Building is blocked
from the front and should be ap
proached from the side or back, said
Charles Brunt, manager of construc
tion.
There are some classrooms that
can only be entered from the front,
he said.
Other campus construction proj
ects include demolition of a number
of barrack-type College View mar
ried housing units, a sidewalk going
in on the east side of Lubbock street,
painting of temporary buildings that
serve as research and office sites,
additional tennis courts, completion
of renovation of the new police quar
ters in the old engineering extention
building.
“We re using Latex paint which is
the easiest to clean off,” said Karl
Cogar, a scheduler-planner II with
the maintenance department.
He recommends that people park
upwind of the painting which should
take about six weeks.
Brunt also said that students
should avoid crane movement in the
new building areas, including the
Architecture Building, the agricul
ture complex on the west campus
and the science lab and classroom
complex. Other buildings under
cdhstruction consideration are three
greenhouses and additions to the
sewer treatment plant.
Brunt said that buildings reaching
completion are the tower at Easter-
wood Airport, and the purchasing
and storage building.
The wall has reached its height, at
least for a while. Brunt said.
Other maintenance will include
the renovation of dorm exteriors in
A&M comptroller.
“If we don’t have an address we
(the Fiscal Office) go to the Housing
Office (Student Locater) and use the
address listed there. Sometimes if
the addresses are unavailable we call
the student out of class or ask the
University Police to find him,” said
Diebel.
In the time between the Friday of
dead week and the beginning of
drop-add, students’ fee slips and
schedules have been prepared, pro
cessed, mailed, returned, and re
mailed to proper addresses if possi
ble. But many students were still
without those yellow carbon copies
the south dorm area, renovation of
offices in the Systems Building, in
stallation of hardware in restrooms
for handicapped students and com
pletion of the bus stop at the east end
of the Forestry Building.
The only new parking lot being
constructed is behind the low den
sity dorm area, which will provide an
additional 317 parking spaces.
The only road planned for con
struction is Agronomy Road by the
Vet School.
AUSTIN, Tex. —Two district at
torney investigators have scheduled
an interview today with a key punch
operator about her work on a Fort
Worth senator’s political file while
she was on the Senate payroll.
The woman pleaded with The As
sociated Press Monday not to reveal
her name because it would cost her
her job. She said she understood that
if she gets a subpoena to appear Fri
day before the holdover Travis
County grand jury investigating Sec
retary of the Senate Charles
Schnabel her name no longer could
be kept out of the story, “But it’s not
fair.”
She said she worked nights, holi
days and weekends for “six to eight
months” punching cards that would
feed a computer the names of
thousands of persons in the district of
former Sen. Don Kennard, D-Fort
Worth.
Kennard said, “Everybody had a
card file in those days. I came up
with the idea that it would expedite
things if we could computerize it. ”
He could not remember how
many names were on the file but
they numbered in the “thousands.”
as classes started.
“According to the receipt book
number, we’ve run 650 schedules,
said a Registrar’s Office worker. Her
counterpart in the Fiscal Office said
that they had made 800 copies of fee
slips.
“Some of the students have lost
their fee slips or schedules. Others’
parents kept the fee slips as a record
of paying, not aware that their chil
dren needed both of the yellow
sheets, ” said another worn Fiscal Of
fice worker.
While all this copying was being
done, grumblings came from stu
dents who had to pay $1 for their
“already posted” mailings.
No one wants to take the blame for
the situation. The Fiscal Office is
blaming the Post Office.
“We had the billings all metered
and forwarded the Friday before fi
nals,” said Allan Madeley, faculty
mail service manager. “But there
were some students who were bound
to have left for home before receiv
ing their bills. ”
“It seems like half the students
change addresses between semes
ters and don’t tell anybody,” said
Don Carter, associate registrar. He
added that, “lots of students” have
come to records to check grades.
“Students should list their new
addresses at the Housing Office be
fore the twelfth day of class,” said
Diebel.
Different groups in his district could
be alerted quickly to issues of impor
tance to them through newsletters
sent through the computerized sys
tem, he said. All legislators should
have it done, he said. Asked if he felt
justified in using taxpayers’ money
for that purpose, he replied: “Oh,
sure.”
The keypunch operator received a
state warrant for “about $600 a
month” in the mail at Austin Auto
mated Data Service, where she
worked, she said.
The Senate had no key punch
operators, she said, so Schnabel
asked the husband of his secretary,
who owns Austin Automated Data
Service, if he had someone who
would do the work.
She said she had forgotten, if she
ever knew, \yho the senator was. She
called her fornjer boss, Vernon
Brinkman, after district attorney in
vestigators talked to her recently
“and be told me who it was. She said
she agreed to talk to the investigators
again today.
She said her children, members of
her church and others would not
understand if her name became
linked with the Schnabel case. “My
mother will die, ” she said. Her pre
sent employer will fire her, “and I
need that job,” she said.
But she feels she did nothing
wrong. “I actually produced the
work I was asked to do. I didn’t see
anything wrong with it,” she said.
“I think I was underpaid, if you
want to know the truth, she said.
She regrets the work because it took
time away from her that could have
been spent with her children, she
said.
She said she performed the work
in 1971 and 1972. She recalls that she
worked on it during the Christmas
holidays in 1971.
A month earlier, newsmen dis
covered eight women in the Senate
Enrolling and Engrossing Room put
ting 90,000 names and addresses on
automatic typewriter tape for then-
Lt. Gov. Ben Barnes. They took the
names and addresses from green
index cards. Kennard also kept the
names of his constituents on green
index cards.
The AP has learned that some
senators are having key punch
operators at the Texas Water De
velopment Board perform the same
task for them today through an in
teragency agreement.
