changes between Moslem and Christian
forces in Beirut.
The Moslems sent mortar rounds into
the Christian-held port area and the nearby
Christian district of Ashrafieyeh while
Christian return fire landed near the
American Embassy.
The Moslems reported capturing ad
vance positions, including the Fattal Build
ing, a Christian stronghold in the port area.
Reports from northern Lebanon said the
Moslems there made another heavy shel
ling attack on Zagharta, the hometown of
Lebanon’s Christian president, Suleiman
Franjieh.
The cease-fire plans sponsored by Syrian
President Hafez Assad call for the Palesti
nians to act as Syria’s representatives on
the enforcement patrols on an equal footing
with the representatives of the warring
Lebanese factions.
Franjieh and other Christian leaders are
protesting this use of the Palestinians, fear
ing that they will favor the leftist Lebanese
Moslems, who have had the help of the
Palestinians’ irregular guerrilla forces in
the war.
Assad was not expected to change his
plans to help the Christians. And since he is
their only hope of retaining a significant
share of power iri the future Lebanese
political system, there appeared to be no
thing they could do but complain.
Assad demonstrated his limited support
of the Christians early this month when
their militiamen were poVverless to halt the
advance of the forces of leftist Moslem
leader Kamal Jumblatt. The Syrian presi
dent forced Jumblatt to rein in his men
because Assad wants a political system in
which the Moslems and Christians share
power equality. He fears that the Moslem
socialist government Jumblatt wants to in
stall would involve Syria in another war
with Israel before it is ready to fight.
Charles Malek, a Christian politician
who has been little heard of during the civil
war, emerged from obscurity to urge in a
broadcast that the United States set up an
international force to “salvage Lebanon.”
President Eisenhower saved the Christians
in 1958 by landing U.S. Marines in Leba
non, but no U.S. military intervention is
likely now.

The student may request a time preference
by writing the section number of the class
in the preferred section. To make a request
for a certain instructor, the student should
write the section number and “INST” in
the preferred section. Students with
blocked schedules should write “FORCE”
on the card under the heading “signed .
The advisor should sign the card when the
course outline is complete.
These preferences do not assure the stu
dent of receiving the exact times and in
structors requested, but the registration
department will do its best to comply with
the student’s wishes.
When completed the course request
card should have courses listed in alpha
betical order by department and times
should not conflict. The student should be
sure of this because most of the requests
rejected are result of time conflicts.
After the advisor has signed the request
card it should be taken to registration cen
ter, the old Exchange Store building, to
complete the process. Students will be bil
led at their permanent address on or about
July 15. Fees should be paid by Aug. 2 or
the schedule will be cancelled. When all
fees are paid, the student’s schedule will be
mailed and should be saved to assure ad

Texas A&M campus.
Robert Melcher, administrative
officer for student services, said
Spence would be blocked to motor
vehicle traffic without restricting ac
cess to the three parking lots on the
street. He said a permanent bar
ricade or planter will be placed in the
street, probably between the entr
ances of parking lot 18.
All on-street parking along Spence
between Ross and Lubbock will also
be removed, Melcher said. The
University Traffic Panel recom
mended last month to remove that
parking and block off Spence be
tween the entrances of parking lots
13 and 34. That recommendation
would have removed the 18-20 park
ing spaces in lot 18.
Melcher said Dr. John Koldus,
vice-president for student services,
had approved the recommendations
with the one change allowing access
to lot 18.
The Traffic Panel had originally
recommended closing Spence be
cause of the heavy pedestrian traffic
crossing between Ross and Lubbock
Sts. Panel members said
pedestrian-vehicle accidents were
inevitable if the street wasn’t
blocked off.
Melcher said the street will be
closed as soon as a barricade and
signs can be installed. He said con
struction on Spence had delayed
putting the barricade in earlier.
C7RW gets
cost-of-living
clarification
CLEVELAND (AP) — The strik
ing United Rubber Workers and the
Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. met for
90 minutes Wednesday then reces
sed until Thursday morning with no
substantial progress reported in con
tract talks.
John Zimmerman, director of
labor relations for Firestone, said
neither the company nor the union
budged from earlier positions that
led to the strike at midnight Tuesday
by 60,000 URW workers.
Zimmerman said the only sub
stantial progress at Wednesday’s
session was in the area of clarifying
the cost-of-living adjustment. He
said “a lot of major issues are still
before us.” He said he agreed with
union president Peter Bommarito
that both sides are still far apart.
Zimmerman said Firestone “is in a
position to certainly withstand a
strike of six weeks’ duration,” but
that he was optimistic that a settle
ment would be reached much
sooner. ' ^
Band marches
in Alamo City
parade Friday
The Texas Aggie Band unleashes
its thunder once more in formal
parade this year in San Antonio.
The Friday “Battle of Flowers”
parade is one of six events remaining
for the 1975-76 Aggie Band.
Drum Majors Michael Comley,
Lacy Gilliam and Clifford Simmang
line up the organization at 1:30 p.m.
for the five-mile Alamo City parade.
Maj. JoeT. Haney, director, said the
band should complete the outing by
2:30 p.m.
The San Antonio parade has been
a regular performance for Aggie
bandmen for many years.
“Actually, we’ve plenty to do
without it,” Haney said. “But the
guys love to go.”
It follows close on the heels of
Muster. The band played for the tra
ditional San Jacinto Day observance
Monday. Most of the 300-member
band, traveling by individual means,
leave for San Antonio today.
Aggie Band members who play in
the Aggie Stage Band will come back
immediately after the Friday
parade. The popular 17-member
group directed by Haney performs
here Friday evening at the Sports
Media Banquet for the Athletic De
partment.
The band falls into marching for
mation again Saturday, for the
Maroon-White spring football finale.
Only two more appearances then
will await the centennial year ver
sion of the Aggie Band. They will be
the May 8 commissioning and Final
Review.

Associated Press
AUSTIN, Tex. — Building insur
ance rate increases, which will raise
annual premiums on a $35,000 brick
veneer house by $12 to $21, have
been approved by the State Board of
Insurance.
Board Chairman Joe Christie said
the relatively low 4 per cent average
statewide increase points toward a
possible leveling oft in rates that
have risen rapidly over the past two
years.
The increase will add $24 million
to Texans’ total premiums.
Insurance men had asked for a 5.1
per cent increase at the board s Feb.
18 hearing. Board statisticians had
recommended 5.4 per cent.
“There is every indication that in
flation will not be as much of a prob
lem during the life of the policies
written under the new rates and we
felt there should be a downward ad
justment of the proposed rates,”
Christie said in a statement.
“I think the adjustments point to a
general consensus that as inflation
levels off there will be more stability
and a leveling off of insurance costs, ”
Christie said.
He said the rates will take effect in
July or August. The board will de
cide the effective date later .
The increase will be the second in
six months. A 6.9 per cent average
statewide increase took effect Feb.
16 ‘
Rates for homeowners policies,
which account for almost half of the
premiums paid in Texas, will rise 5.3
per cent in the Seacoast Territory,
5.2 per cent in the Central Territory
and 4.8 per cent in the North-
Northwest Territory.
Teague to arrive
for campaigning
Rep. Olin E. Teague, D-Tex., will
be at the Ramada Inn at Texas Av
enue and University Drive tomor
row .
Teague, who is being challenged
by Ron Godbey of Fort Worth for the
6th Congressional District seat, will
be campaigning for the May 1 pri
mary.
No time has been given for the
congressman’s arrival.
Charity walkers
to turn in money,
see free movies
A March of Dimes collection party
for Walkathon participants to turn in
their pledge money is set for Satur
day at Manor East Theaters with this
year’s walkers having their choice of
two free movies.
Kathy Conrad of the local March
of Dimes office said final tabulations
indicate 1,550 persons participated
in the 1976 Walkathon with pledges
totaling more then $25,000.
Any walkers unable to attend the
Saturday party are asked to bring or
send their collections to the March of
Dimes office as soon as possible. The
office is located next to the Triangle
Bowling Lanes. The mailing address
is P.O. Box 9866.
Walkathon participants have their
choice of two movies, “No Deposit,
No Return for the younger chil
dren, at 2 p.m., or “Echoes of Sum
mer” for older participants, at 2:45
p.m.
Rates in the first tier of counties in
the Seacoast Territory are higher
than in the second tier back from the
Gulf, but the percentage of increase
was the same.
Fire rates are set on a statewide
basis and showed a seven-tenths of 1
per cent increase for dwellings but a
7.4 per cent decline for all other
classes.
Extended coverage rates, for such
things as windstorms, explosions and
hail damage, will rise an average of
9.7 per cent in the Seacoast Terri
tory, 9.9 per cent in the Central Ter
ritory and 9.5 per cent in the
North-Northwest Territory.
Christie gave these examples of
rate increases for one-year
homeowner policies on $35,000
brick veneer homes:
— Galveston, from $340 to $358.
— Houston, $295 to $311.
— Austin, $238 to $250.
— Lubbock, $427 to $448.
A&M’s Press
to print overseas
The Texas A&M University Press
is taking on an international flavor.
After June 1, all of the press’ books
will be published simultaneously in
the United States and Great Britain,
and the imprint will read “Texas
A&M University Press — College
Station and London.”
Frank Wardlaw, director of Texas
A&M’s new scholarly publishing
house, explained the simultaneous
publication is the result of formal af
filiation with the American Univer
sity Publishers Group, Ltd. The
group consists of eight university
presses with a joint sales organiza
tion in Great Britain for distribution
there and throughout Europe.
Wardlaw also noted the press has
been elected to membership in the
International Association of
Scholarly Publishers, which in
cludes almost all of the university
presses throughout the world.
