Swimmers set A&M record in Ohi
By GLENN JOHNSON
Five members of the Texas A&M
University men’s swim team
traveled to Cleveland, Ohio this
past weekend to compete in the an
nual three-day NCAA cham
pionship meet.
Roger Lien, sophomore from
San Jose, Calif., Jim Yates, senior
from Santa Clara, Calif., Chris
Shipp, freshman from Dearborn,
Mich., and Chuck Burr, freshman
from Fort Worth, Tex., qualified to
compete in the 800-yard freestyle
relay. They finished with a time of
6:54.9 in the preliminaries. While
this time did not qualify for the final
heat, the team did set a Texas A&M
record.
Lien, Shipp, Yates and Greg
Meek, a sophomore from Los
Angeles, Calif., made up the 400-
yard freestyle relay team. Again,
the members of this relay team
failed to qualify for the final heat;
however, they came only four-
tenths of a second from tying their
best time which was set at the
Southwest Conference cham
pionship meet this year.
These two events were the only
ones that members of the Texas
A&M team participated.
In order for a team to qualify for
the NCAA championships, they
must, in an official meet, at least
equal the qualifying times set by the
NCAA in September. These times
are arbitrary and are chosen so that
approximately 50 swimmers from all
over the country will be eligible to
compete in each event.
This year, there were as many as
80 in some events and as few as 40
in others.
In most cases, the competitors in
the NCAA meet are the best in the
country, therefore, the times
needed to place are extremely fast,
and are shortened every year.
“We did good for ourselves even
though we didn’t win,” Lien said.
“We went and did our best.’’
There are mixed opinions among
the team members as to why the
Aggies cannot win in national com
petition. The major reason seems to
be a lack of scholarship money to be
used for recruiting new swimmers,
the team said. Some of the swim
mers also said that the university as
a whole has a poor attitude toward
swimming.
“We need a good recruiting year
to improve the team,” Burr said
yesterday. “Most of the best swim
mers come from California, and we
just need more money to get them
to come here.”
On Wednesday, April i
team members along w
swimming coach Dennis fJ
who is in charge of recmiw
swimmers, will travel toCj
Ohio, for the Amateur At
Union national champio
There, many high school'
will be competing and should
prime preview of swimm®j
recruited by colleges andt®,
ties next season.

for your
information
Results of the Professor Information Survey, conducted by the Professor Information
Sub-Committee of Academic Affairs, have been compiled and are now available!
students.
The professor information booklet was compiled from questionnaires answered la
semester. These questionnaires were passed out in class for the purpose of evaluating
the professor.
Students were asked to agree or disagree with 14 statements, concerning the ui
questions asked when choosing a professor. These questions included statements on
instructor’s presentation, work load, class discussion and whether or not the professof
was considered “hard.” The information was compiled by computer and presented i
tabular, reference form.
The booklet is now available in the Student Government Office, Room 216-C Memo
rial Student Center. It will also be distributed with the fall schedule of courses in the Coke
Building. The distribution in the Coke Building will begin April 10. More than 10,
copies will be distributed this semester.
Thanks to all those who helped with the Professor Information Project, last semester
Thanks go to Bill Ambrose for computer time, Dan Sullins for cover design, Stan Stan
field for advice, and all the executive aids who did so much in preparing the booklet !
would especially like to thank all those who helped with the distribution of the question
naires to the classes. Without all those volunteers this mammoth job never could ha
been completed. Of course, many thanks to all the professors who participated ini
program.
