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.”

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

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.

Allen Academy
Prep school struggles
with financial woes
This is the first of a two-part se
ries dealing with the history, finan
cial problems and programs of Allen
Academy in Bryan. 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-
