The ONLY Import Clothes Boutique in Town. 1403 University Above McLaughlin’s Several changes in the Texas A&M University rules and regu lations were approved and recom mended to President Williams by the University Academic Council Wednesday. Some of the changes involve policies on Q-drops, the pass-fail sys tem, pets on campus, incomplete grades, speaking events on campus and administrative decision making. The Q-drop period was extended to five days after mid-term grade re ports are posted. The present policy ends the Q-drop period with posting of mid-term grades. Pass-fail was renamed satisfac tory-unsatisfactory. The new policy requires at least a “C” average for a satisfactory rating. The present regu lations state that a “D” average al lows a pass rating.

Students would be given one semester to complete the work. The professor issuing the grade must fill out a form describing the reasons for the incomplete grade and describe the work that the student must com plete. If the semester passes without the work being completed, the grade would automatically become an “F. ” Pi esently, there is not a standard method for a professor to follow in the case of an incomplete grade. The university president was offi cially given the authority to cancel any speaking engagement scheduled on the A&M campus. The president already had this power, but now it is in writing. Administrative decision making on student affairs must now strictly follow those laws set up by the state or federal government. Under pre sent regulations, decisions about a student can be made at an adminis trator’s discretion. The council also voted to allow in dorms refrigerators taller than three feet, provided the amperage is 1.6 or less. Present rules allow only re frigerators three feet tall or less. Galley available for Army parole Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ga. — William L. Galley Jr. canceled a speech he was to deliver Wednesday in Spokane, Wash., in order to be available when the Army is ready to place him on parole. When the U.S. Supreme Court refused on Monday to review his 1971 court-martial conviction for the murder of 22 civilians at My Lai, Galley canceled the appearance at Spokane Falls Community College. Kenneth Henson, Galley’s lawyer, said the formal placing of Galley on parole could take place any time within the next 30 days and it would be inappropriate for the former Army lieutenant to deliver a lecture on My Lai with parole condi tions pending. The Army has said repeatedly that Galley, who has been living in Col umbus while free on bail, will be placed on parole rather than re turned to prison. Two changes recommended by the Rules and Regulations Commit tee were not supported by the coun cil. These two changes were stricken from the final copy of revisions to be sent to the president. The changes dealt with the university dress code and the recognition of student or ganizations. The iiiles and regulations commit tee had recommended this deletion because the wording is abstract and undefi ni ible. a musical IN THE TRADITION OF “G0DSPELL” Another Super Musical The Aggie Players TAMU ’76 Rudder Center Theater Apr. 12-17 — 8 p.m. Students $2 — Others $3 Tickets Now on Sale Qbc) INTERSTATE UNIVERSITY SQUARE SHOPPING CENTER 846-6714 & 846-1151 CINEMA II FRIDAY MidHitk&KfWS STARTS TODAY!

A Consumer Products Safety Commission spokes man said preliminary federal regulations banning firecrackers containing more than 50 milligrams of powder have not attracted significant opposition and are expected to become permanent in September. Those rules, aimed at the backyard variety of fireworks, would make all but the smallest firecrackers — those called ladyfingers — illegal. The new federal regulations, drafted after a four- year study, won’t effect the display business. Nor will they alter bans on firecrackers now imposed in 32 states. Eighteen states still allow firecrackers, but cur rent federal rules limit the size to 130 milligrams of powder. However, John Conkling of Chestertown, Md., secretary of the American Pyrotechnics Association (APA) said the state bans have not prevented a “healthy” black market in very large firecrackers — cherry bomb-size and larger. Reports from the fireworks industry indicate the Ol helped sp£ ing upturn.

The present reg ulations say that in any area which a staff or faculty member oversees, he may require a student to wear clothes which he deems reasonable. The council turned down this rec ommended change by a substantial margin. The council also voted to leave the wording of a regulation concerning the recognition of student organ izations alone. The wording, “keep ing with the philosophy and goals of the university,” was deemed neces sary in considering the possible rec ognition of student organizations. onna, ;; Okla ter by urriue, P Be; Bo Design versus environme topic of Spilhaus’ speech. flc) By PRESTON JONES , Man does not design with nature, but against it, said Visiting Centen nial Professor, Dr. Athelstan Spilhaus, Wednesday night. Spilhaus is the founder of the Sea Grant Program and serves as con sultant for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “If naval architects and ship de signers were our town planners on land we wouldn’t have the ridiculous mess we have in our cities today,” Spilhaus said. “When you design a ship you de sign it for a certain number of people. You design the logistics of the ship. You consider every supply for that number of people and you don’t overload it. In most govern ments of the world there are laws against overloading ships just as there are laws against overloading elevators or hotels, and yet, we over load our cities all the time. Spilhaus quoted an old Indian proverb, “If you tamper with nature too much she will get her revenge. “I often think of this saying in terms of our present problems of pol lution and many other problems in which the strength of technology has tampered with nature too much, ’ said Spilhaus, “and nature is getting her revenge. He said that architects don’t really want to design for people but they want to design medals and build monuments for themselves which are uninhabitable by other people. “I have over 50 or 60 Designing for the oceans from an engineering point of view is far more difficult than designing capsules for space. “There are no corrosive elements in space. In the ocean you have to choose your metals and materials very carefully because of pressure differentials and organisms that en crust your machines,” Spilhaus said. We should he spending far vaster sums on proper commercial de velopment of the oceans because commercial development of space is a long time off. “I don’t want to knock the space program,” he said. “I am one of the people who pushed the space program very much, in fact, I was one of the three scientists who announced it from the White House lawn for President Eisenhower in 1955. “I think the space program is largely for understanding the origin of the universe, which fi in space certainly contri lifting of the human spi Spilhaus said that panics invest in new oa prises that they should some kind of protection,H chance of a return on tkH merit.

James F. Sattler, a political scientist working in Washington for a foreign relations think tank, said yes — that he was an East German spy. Sattler encountered Question No. 8 as he registered March 23 with the Justice Department as a person who acts on behalf of a foreign govern ment.
