Page 6 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, APR. 14, 1976 New MSC president outlines goals (Continued from Page 1) other universities that have tried it so that we won’t make some of the same mistakes if we ever do get something like that. “If there is a big push by the student body for it, then we ll go ahead and make a push so that we can have this small ar rangement. ” Oeffinger said he could not now see a place in the MSC for students to drink hard liquor or beer. Oeffinger said he is ready for next year. “The whole emphasis will be in getting students to know about the building and what’s involved with it and with the differ ent programs and also to reach them and inform them of what we re here for, for service.” Adjustment to new culture difficult (Continued from page 1) former president of the ISA. Kent agreed that one problem for some international students is understanding legal language. “Some students take advantage of being ignorant,” Kent said. Owners often take advantage of it, too, he added. He said some owners unnecessarily keep foreign students’ deposits. One solution is to translate the standard apartment lease into the languages of international students enrolled at A&M. Kent said that should be done by the Uni student lounge. He also said a room in the MSC was supposed to have been provided for the ISA. The lounge is now a 10 by 10 foot corner in the exchange store. The room in the MSC was never provided. Kent said one reason for this lack of facilities is the lack of continuity in the ISA. versity. Sandel said it should be done by the local apartment owners. He said he would be glad to distribute the translated leases during orientation. The ISA has suggested a housing card with information about apartments and rents be sent to the international student when he is admitted to A&M. “The people who wanted it (the lounge) graduated,” Kent said. Although the ISA has existed for 10 or 12 years, he said, it has become organized only within the past two years. They also suggest that one dorm be opened before each semester begins for international students who arrive early. Kent said at one time the entire Old Exchange Store was to be an international Sandra Good is sentenced (Continued from Page 1) years by the samd judge who sentenced Fromme to a life term for trying to kill President Ford. Good’s co-defendant and a self- described Manson follower, Susan Mur phy, 33, was sentenced to five years in prison. Both were convicted March 16 of con spiring to send threatening letters to busi ness and government leaders — people they described as “corpoxate polluters” of the environment. The FBI says the women told a fxiend to mail 171 of the letters on Sept. 5, the same day Fromme pointed a gun at Ford in Capitol Park, but the friend turned the letters over to the FBI instead. Good was convicted of four additional charges of making similar threats in tele phone interviews with three radio stations and a newspaper. The daughter of a San Diego stockbxoker, she was one of the original disciples of Manson, who is serving a life sentence for masterminding the 1969 kil lings of actress Sharon Tate and six other persons. Good could have been sentenced to 25 years, but U.S. District Court Judge Thomas MacBride said two of her five-year terms would run concuxrently. Murphy’s sentence was the maximum allowed by Good will be eligible for parole in five years; Murphy in 20 months.

In this first story, Karen Arrington and Christy Kelm take a look back at the military school’s history and recent financial recovery. Despite a debt of $1.2 million and the introduction of a day student and co-educational program in 1973, Allen Academy in Bryan remains a military honors school. In its 90th year as the oldest col lege preparatory school in Texas, Al len, formerly Allen Military Academy and Allen School, is one of three military schools in the state with military officers directing its Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps. The school was founded in Madisonville in 1886 by John H. Al len. It was moved to Bryan in 1899. A junior college program began in 1927, but was discontinued in 1969 to emphasize the college prep pro gram . When Roy T. Sheffield assumed the presidency of Allen in February 1973, the school had a huge debt of $1.4 million. Allen was within one bid proposal of dissolving. The en rollment was declining and the pro gram lacked sound administrative leadership. Two years ago, under Sheffield’s leadership $800,000 was raised to save Allen. The Texas Private School Foundation, Inc., purchased the school in May 1975 and sold an un used tract of land. The money that was raised was used in building a new gymnasium and swimming pool, retiring old de bts, assisting students with scholarships and renovating facilities that would allow the school to offer elementary classes for non-boarding students. With its financial condition stable and the enrollment increasing, the military program is rebuilding, even though Allen still owes $400,000. The JROTC was established at Allen in 1919 by order of the Presi dent of the United States. The mili tary program made rapid progress and, in 1923, was selected as an Honor Military School, the highest rating given in military school by the Department of the Army. Since that time, the school has received the honor each year. In 1972, the new category. Honor with Distinction, was created for ex ceptionally meritorious schools. Allen was selected in the first group of schools to receive the award. Sheffield says Allen’s military pro gram is still surviving, “because the military attitude in general has im- Comp lie 197( e en nai ity- ■orty 0 unced ;ol.
