Students sue wrecker service
By STEVE REIS
Battalion Copy Editor
WRECKER SERVICE SUED
Two University of Texas students
have filed suits in two county courts
against a university-contracted tow
ing service and its general manager.
One of the students claimed he
v as pulled to the ground and kicked
in the face by an employe of the
Northside Wrecker Service, Inc.,
according to The Daily Texan.
Roy Lane said he had gone to pick
up his car after it had been towed
when the incident occured.
The other student, David
McLeod said that general manager
Ronald Vandervort threatened him
with a shotgun when McLeod
claimed his impounded car.
Yandervort denied any assault ac
tion and said McLeod entered the
office and verbally abused a young
employe.
cited one of the problems as students
walking on the grass and killing it.
At Purdue University, they
charge persons caught stepping on
the grass four dollars. But no one
likes the physical plant there, he
said.
CAMPUS GROUP RECOGNIZED
An organization was given perma
nent campus recognition at the Uni-
verstiy of Houston despite believed
illegalities.
“The Daily Cougar” reported that
the Legal Research Service (LRS)
pays students to help lawyers re
search special legal problems. The
chairman of the campus organization
board felt this was a violation of the
campus’ solicitation policy which
states, “an individual student may
not solicit for personal gain nor may a
student organization be used for the
purpose of personal gain to an indi
vidual . ’
reason for their higher retention
percentage.

SMU SIDEWALKS SINKING
A&M is not the only school with
sidewalk problems.
Sidewalks on the Southern
Methodist University’s campus have
to be pumped up with mud.
The board decided the policy was
“more suited to preventing students
from making a profit on bake sales.”
The LRS was approved.
According to a story in “The Daily
Campus, the soil shrinks when it
dries, causing the sidewalks to sink.
• spot esman lor the SMU physical
plant estimated that up to $15,000 a
year is spent to pump the sidewalks

inches.
the physical plant has already
liicd some solutions. Drains have
been built to get rid of some of the
water.
Another solution was to blacktop
aiine areas — the result was a lake.

MORE MEN THAN WOMEN
QUIT
More men than women freshmen
have dropped out of the Air Force
Academy said Brig. Gen. H.J. Dal

Not only in total numbers, but
percentagewise as well.
The general was speaking to
Journalism classes according to “The
Baylor Lariat.
An informaton officer for the Air
Force, Dalton said 12.1 per cent
women have dropped out as com
pared to 16.2 per cent of the men.
Dalton said the women are mak

United Press International
AUSTIN — The Texas House, in
an attempt to improve the quality of
undergraduate education, yesterday
tentatively approved a measure re
quiring colleges to limit the use of
classroom teaching assistants.
House members debated the
proposal by Rep. John Hoesten-
bach, D.-Odessa, for more than two
hours. Opponents said the legisla
ture should not get involved in the
administration of state colleges.
Hoestenhach accused the admin
istration of the University of Texas
System of using “scare tactics” by
claiming it would cause overcrowd
ing in classrooms. He also claimed
some colleges established phony
classes and phony courses which no
one attends.
“What’s so sick about the phony
course is that it was a course to train
teaching assistants to go in and teach
classes,” he said. “The only thing it
would do to classroom size is make
them more efficient and more eco
nomical .”
Rep. Sarah Weddinglon
D-Austin, said teaching assistaili
working on doctorate degrees
should he teaching basic freshmu
courses to allow faculty members I
work on advanced research.
Weddington said the legislation
inappropriate and it would cause
“disasters” in some university ft
partments.
“Teaching assistants are not goit;
to he thrown out of the classrooms.
Hoestenhach said. “It isn’t going!
hurt to increase the workload.
There are so many scare tactics use:
I can’t believe it.”
The bill would prevent teachii;
assistants from teaching aloneunk
they had prior teaching experieute
for at least one semester whileaidd
by a faculty member. It also would
prevent departments from having
more teaching assistants

Is ‘Cloud rustling’
next water rights issue
By DICK WEST
United Press International
WASHINGTON — President
Carter’s move to kill 29 water proj
ects has set up his first major con
frontation with Congress. And this
may be only the opening splash in a
long series of water fights.
Because of the severe drought in
the west, water is a particularly
touchy subject right now. One por
tentous development is the dispute
over who owns the rights to the
water in clouds.
Specifically, Idaho officials re
cently got upset over rainmaking ef
forts in the state of Washington.
They claimed that cloud seeding
amounted to “cloud rustling.
The reasoning was that any
moisture artificially induced in
Washington might well have fallen
over Idaho had the clouds been left
to their own devices.
Disputes over water rights date
back to the very beginning of the
winning of the West. In the old days,
however, folks had the decency to
wait until the water hit the ground
before they started to squabble over
it.
Interstate contention over sky
water injects a whole new element
into this classic quarrel and will re
sult, I fear, in the entire mess being
dumped into the lap of the federal
government.
In which case there undoubtedly
will be extended debate over
whether to pass a law making it il
legal to transport vapors across state
lines for precipitation purposes.

Over the years, the corps has coi

Clouds, as we know, tend toscut

With a string of cloud dams ale
the Washington-Idaho horde'
clouds drifting over the region xvoal

controlled amounts of clouds coal

Don’t ask me how the corpse'
