Fugitive didn't run
When Frank Gauss IV got a
legal notice informing him that he
was a fugitive from justice, he
stuffed some of it in his mouth
and burped.
That’s really not so terrible,
since Gauss, a Chicago resident,
is only four months old.
His parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Gauss III, say they can’t
understand why the baby got the
notice, notice of the traffic viola
tion, which occurred Sept. 3,
1975, in Springfield, Ill. “He
wasn’t born until May 21, 1976,”
the father said.
Happily, the baby will not go to
jail. Mrs. Eleanor Baker, trea
surer of the City of Springfield,
said, “Let’s just call it a computer
error and a human error.”

has been granted permission to

political asylum but was given a
residential permit for an indefi
nite period.

Academic survival’ helps
Study problems eased

By Jim Northcutt
Large-scale academic help is
available for all Texas A&M Univer
sity students having studying diffi
culties, a University dean said Tues
day in the MSC.
Speaking at a meeting of Students
oralot Older Than Average (SOT A), Diane
trommer, associate dean of the Col-
e propj lege of Liberal Arts, said that the
by lb three academic survival programs
held earlier this month have had
very large student attendance.
“The programs, which are short
courses in how to make It at Texas
A&M, were originally set up for stu
dents in the College of Liberal Arts,
but when we got a large turnout of
students in other colleges, we

How can I reclaim lost laundry?
With over 3,300 students using
the laundry and more signing up
everyday, a few garments will get
misplaced. The procedure for re-
daiming these items is simple. Bring
flur itemized slip to your substation
within three class days of the loss.
The substation attendants will file a
claim and the item should be re
turned within eight days. Descrip
tions of the garments will be helpful.
Where can I get information about
campus organizations?
There is no one place on campus
that lists all organizations. However,
all University recognized organiza
tions are listed with the Student Ac
tivities Office. This office is located
by the entrance of room 216 of the
MSC. Student Organization Guide,
abook soon to he printed, lists each
ofthese organizations and its sponsor
and president. Also, most major
clubs and all Student Government
Committees have cubicles in room
216 where information is always
available.
Meeting dates for clubs are pub
lished in The Battalion and are
shown on the TV screens in the
MSC. Other valuable sources of
meeting dates of both recognized
and unrecognized clubs are the
bosks and bulletin boards around
campus.
Food for the brave

opened the programs to the entire
student body,” Strommer said to
SOTA.
These programs, sponsored by the
Dean’s Office and by the Liberal
Arts Student Council, try to give the
students new self-confidence by in
troducing helpful studying tech
niques, Strommer said.
“It. is very hard for a person to es
tablish self-confidence, especially
when that person may have so many
outside pressures and internal fears
of doing bad in school,” she said.
We try to get the students into
small groups and talk about some of
the problems they are having. Then
several techniques to overcome fear
are introduced, she said.
“One way we tell the students to
overcome their fear is to have them
ask themselves hard questions that
they think their professors may ask
th em on the tests,” she said.
“Another method is to have them
find old tests and study those so to
get a feel of what they need to
know.”
Strommer proposed that SOTA, a
new club consisting of A&M stu
dents who are over 25, develop a
similiar academic survival program
for the more than 4,000 members in
that group.
Jean Baily, president of SOTA,
said that if developed, the older stu
dents would probably take advan
tage of learning the new studying
techniques, such as coping with

“About one-fifth of the student
body at Texas A&M is 25 or older,
and sometines it is just as hard to
study efficiently for those returning
to school after ten years as it is for the
entering freshmen,” Baily said.
