Two Texas A&M University en- ineers have been designated a spe- ial inspection team by the Energy lesearch and Development Ad- linistration (ERDA) to help find rays to make solar energy more iractical. Aerospace engineering professors )r. James A. Stricklin and Howard Chevalier will evaluate solar col ectors across the nation and apply idvanced aerospace technology to educe the weight of the collectors thereby eliminate some of the cost of installation. Right now, collectors on the tops louses are very heavy to allow for iow and windloads and conform to lousing codes, Stricklin explained. Were going to look at all these iroblems and record some basic in- brmation about them by looking at ilueprints and recording dimen- lions, etc. Then, after a three-month tudy, we ll make specific recom- endations to ERDA.” Stricklin said two of the big prob- ems facing those who want to put in solar heating and cooling is finding { le who can do the work, and ing around obsolete housing codes. There is some work being done in Fort Worth-Dallas and Houston with solar collectors but none in this area, Stricklin says. He said to involve more people in solar development and research ERDA lasgone so far as to supplement the construction of solar collector sys tems. With the price of natural gas rising in Texas, solar power is rapidly be coming competitive in price, so in formation for architects and con- stmetion men working in the solar field will soon be in demand, Stricklin said. Instruction and scholarly studies in German language at Texas A&M University were given a boost Wed nesday by Mrs. Ruth Krassmann, cultural attache at the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany, in Houston. Mrs. Krassmann presented more than 60 books on German history, science and literature to the Univer sity Library. She also visited Ger man classes of the Modern Lan guages Department. “It is our wish you will have many more books coming, not only from German authors but others,” Mrs. Krassmann said. Dr. Haskell Monroe, dean of A&M facilities and former Library Council member, accepted the gift for Texas A&M. Noting that “many people of German ancestry have meant much to Texas A&M,” Monroe expressed appreciation to the Federal Republic for the gift. Monroe observed that Richard “Buck” Weirus^, Association of Former Students executive director; artist-in-residence E. M. Schiwetz and former Board member and Texas A&M benefactor C. C. “Polly Krueger have names reflecting the Germanic presence. Mrs. Krassmann visited Koepke’s advanced class for discussion in German and also made presenta tions in several second year and upper level German classes. She presented books as awards to top students in the groups. Recipients were Jerry Kiker, Mark Luckstead, Debra Webb, Malissa Anderson, Marion Bothe, Charles McCullough, Carol Miller, Randy Shapery. Also, Roy Carter, Lenelle Kypfer, Frieda Karner- Hall, Susan Bechtel, Bennett Fletcher, Ruby Goeken and Martha Linnstaedter received awards. pt'op work Inn Five men indicted in Means shooting Associated Press lii'lr. SIOUX FALLS, S. D. — Two men ive been charged with attempted murder in connection with the shooting of American Indian Move ment leader Russell Means and another man on an Indian reserva tion. The FBI said three other men were charged as accessories. Means and AIM member John Thomas underwent surgery after they were shot early Wednesday. Both were listed in satisfactory con dition at Sacred Heart Hospital in Yankton. Bicyclists will have to pay $4 to register their bikes on campus next fall if the bicycle regulations prop osed by the University Traffic Panel at yesterday’s meeting are approved by Dr. John J. Koldus, vice- president for student services. An $8 increase in moving violation fines and a $1 increase for parking violations are also included in the proposed regulations. The increase in registration fees was made by the panel in an attempt to raise revenue to help pay for con struction of more bike racks on the A&M campus. A possible addition of bicycle registration to the options available during pre-registration would also be paid for by the in creased revenue. Fines for bicycle violations were increased to add some strength to the regulations. In addition to increased fines, the regulations will give University Police the right to confiscate and im pound bicycles for violations of cer tain parking provisions. Also included under the penalties section of the proposed regulations is a $2-per-week fine for delay in pay ing fines or registering bicycles. In XaSt 23th Street WAREHOUSE 3715 E. Z?™ r the current regulations, a flat fee of $5 is charged if a ticket is not paid for within seven calender days. In other action, the panel learned that its earlier recommendation to eliminate the dorm-day student dis tinction in parking allocation was not approved by Koldus. Koldus criticized the proposal say ing that he didn’t believe that a sep aration between upper- and lower- class day students called for in the proposal would help ease the park ing problem on campus. Hart Hall residents were told at the meeting that the north end of Lot 48 (east of Kyle Field) would be marked for upper-class students only, beginning next fall. Currently those sudents share the entire lot with underclassmen and do not have any advantage in parking space loca tion. — Dave Johnson Famous Pizzas Special Every Night from 5-9 p.m. 25c beer large pizza $2.85— 7-9 p.m. Thursday Night — 10c beer — 6-10 p.m. pool room, foosball, dancing, & beer garden soon.
