FREE PRESENTED BY OTHERS $1.00 COMMITTEE FOR AWARENESS OF MEXICAN AMERICAN CULTURE By COLIN CROMB1E What would you do if you were going home for the weekend and needed a ride or a rider? You could use the Hitchin Post in the Memorial Student Center (MSC) or the Ride Board in the Academic building. The Hitchin Post is sponsored by the M SC Travel Committee. It is on the stairway by the east entrance of the M SC. A brown board sitting in a corner, it is usually decorated with pink and green slips of paper. But it is outdated, out of place and too small, said Rusty Phelps, a Travel Committee member, al though he added that it does help. The Hitchin’ Post has a map of Texas and has been in operation for about 20 years. A bigger, perma nent structure is planned that will include a map of North America. Another Travel Committee member, Barbara Fricke, is respon sible for the new Hitchin’ Post. It has been planned for almost a year, said MSC Director J. Wayne Stark, who is “most discouraged by the lack of action by the Travel Committee.” He quickly added that in other areas the committee is more effective now than in the past 10 years. The Ride Board on the first floor of the Academic building is now sponsored by Lambda Sigma, a sophomore honor society and serv ice organization. Until this year, the board was a project of Student Government, which became too involved in poli tics, said Sandy Morrow, vice presi dent of Lambda Sigma. They may be more effective the farther you are going, said Phelps and Morrow, or if they were in heavier traffic, said Stark. But if the Hitchin’ Post and the Academic’s Ride Board are not suf ficient, then where else might a board be positioned? Having a ride board in the library has been discussed, said Assistant Library Director Richard L. Puck ett. With renovations planned to start this year, another board in the main corridor of the library may make noise and traffic unbearable, Puckett said. By 1980 the estimated comple tion date for the renovations, he said a ride board may be put in an enlarged lounge area. He added that the responsibility and mainte nance of a board would have to go to a student organization. HOW TO GET A LIFETIME SUPPLY OF LOSE STAR LONG NECKS FOR 84c.
