Associated Press
MAPUTO, Mozambique — The
Communist-backed government of
Mozambique declared today that a
“state of war” exists with Rhodesia. It
announced it has sealed off its 800-
mile border with the white-ruled na
tion. Share prices on the London
stock exchange immediately drop
ped.
However, it was not immediately
clear whether Mozambique had de
clared war on Rhodesia, a breakaway
British colony, or whether it was
simply putting the nation on a war
footing. Last week, Rhodesian forces
went into “hot pursuit” after some of
the thousands of African guerrillas
infiltrating from the Mozambique
border.
Proposal requests
more student reps
The “state of war” declaration
came in an impassioned speech by
Marxist President Samora Machel
from the presidential palace. The
speech was broadcast by Mozam
bique Radio.
The bearded, 42-year-old Machel
said all Rhodesian property and as
sets in Mozambique would be
seized, all communications with
Rhodesia cut and Mozambique
would apply full economic sanctions
against its white-ruled neighbor.

Texas A&M’s student body presi
dent is pushing a proposal that would
improve representation of students
from all Texas A&M system colleges.
The proposal would create a Texas
A&M System Student Board that
would give students at Texas A&M,
Tarleton State University, Prairie
View A&M and Moody College of
Marine Sciences and Maritime Re
sources better representation before
the Texas A&M Board of Regents,
said Jeff Dunn, student body presi
dent.
The proposal will be presented to
the A&M student senate on March
11.
According to Dunn, goals for the
proposed system student board are:
1. to represent the combined in
terests of the students of member
schools in order to improve the Texas
A&M System, 2. to serve as a liaison
between the students and the Texas
A&M Board of Regents, 3. to prom
ote equal representation, equal
rights and welfare of the student
bodies, 4. to serve as a lobby group
for the students.
Each member school would send
two delegates with the exception of
Moody College, which would send
one.
The proposal must be approved by
all of the student senates, said Dunn.
If approved, representatives from
member schools will meet March 20
at Prarie View A&M to finalize the
constitution. After finalization, a
temporary board will be set up to
function until June 1, when next
year’s senators will be in office, he
said.

NEW ORLEANS — As the bell in
St. Louis Cathedral tolled midnight,
Mardi Gras 1976 came to an end.
Some die-hard partygoers still
strode the litter-strewn streets of the
French Quarter in search of drink
and merriment, but most of the mill
ion or more persons who turned out
to celebrate Carnival called it quits.
Today is the first day of Lent, and
many have much to repent. On Ash
Wednesday, hangover remedies are
more popular than grits in breakfast
shops.
Fat Tuesday began with the
Krewe ofZulu landing by Mississippi
River launch at the foot of Canal
Street and taking an erratic route
through the cheering crowds, fling
ing doubloons and hand-painted
cocoanuts into the waiting hands
along the route.
Eight other parades downtown
and in the suburbs completed the
day’s merriment.
Among those arrested were three
ching band. Witnesses said the
drummer bumped into a patrolman
and a scuffle broke out between
bandsmen wieiding instruments and
policemen wielding nightsticks,

In the waning moments of Mardi
Gras, Rex, the King of Carnival, re
enacted an old tradition as he walked
to the center of a crowded ballroom
to greet the King of Comus.
“This has been one of tin
memorable days of my life, 1
