AMERICA'S FAVORITE PIZZA
Buckles leading qualifier
Women pave way to nationals
By SANFORD RUSSO
Battalion Contributing Editor
On the heels of a third place finish
at the Texas Association for Intercol
legiate Athletics for Women state
meet, the A&M swimmers continue
to bring down their times for the Na
tional AIAW meet, March 17-20.
The team is led by Jeannie Buck
les, a freshman recruit from Califor
nia. Buckles has proven herself to be
the top backstroker in the state with
a first place finish in both the 50-yard
and 100-yard events and a second
place in the 200-yard event.
Buckles has decreased her times
since she came to A&M and has shat
tered the standing school record, set
by all-American Jean Collins.
At the state meet, Buckles swam a
nationally qualifying time of :28.99 in
the 50- and a 1:02.21 in the 100-yard
event, setting a state record. She

Texas A&M Un iversity’s in
tramural referees are generally un
derpaid, undertrained and often un
fairly criticized students doing an
unpopular job, say former and pre
sent referees.
“There are always openings for re
ferees, jack Tackett, a former re
feree said. “I cpiit because the money
is not worth the time and the abuse
that the job involves. ”
Referees are usually scheduled to
work six to ten hours a week, in shifts
of two to four hours. Pay starts at
$2.26 per hour and increases to $2.35
and $2.50 with experience.
“The main problem is that you
can’t get enough time in to make any
money,” Tackett said, who has re
fereed football and basketball.
The major problem for referees is
their lack of training. Often the new
referee is given a rule book to study,
goes to a one hour referee’s meeting
and starts work the following week.
“The first week is pure hell, ” one
former referee said. But, due to a
limited budget and the overcrowded
conditions of the intramuralij
areas, it’s hard to hold anytni
clinics.
“We try to have the newrelt

son begins, hut once a sport is)
there is no time for practice,
feree supervisor said.
“The worst part of the job ii
abuse the players give you
