Stanfield (continued from page 5) the Student Senate and named out standing senator for 1975-76. I am presently serving on the following University committees: University Curriculum Committee, Advisory Committee on Faculty Evaluation, University Rules and Regulations Committee, the Placement Advi sory Council, and the Ad Hoc Committee on Student Review and Appeals Procedures. What University rules or regu lations would you like see changed or modified? The two regulations which I feel should be changed are those of mandatory class attendance and the total exclusion of alcoholic beverages from campus. During the past two weeks, both of the above rules have been recommended for change by the University Rules and Regu lations Committee on request of the Student Government. On what basis would you choose members for University commit tees? University committee appoint ments must meet four criteria for appointment: interest, adequate time, willingness to work with other individuals and a willingness to fur ther the immediate interests of the student body. Do you feel that students have adequate input into University pro cedures and governance? If not, what changes would you propose? No. The one area which requires more student input is in University committees which deal directly with student life issues. Because of the nature of student life issues, all University committees which deal directly with these issues should contain a majority of students.

Should there be a mandatory at tendance policy? Why or why not? I am against a mandatory atten dance policy because since the stu dents pay to go to this university then it should be up to them if they go to class or not. The only person that they can hurt by not going, if they wish, is themselves.

I am in favor of alcohol being al lowed on campus in non-public places in addition to non-campus university property such as the Quonset Hut and Hensel Park. Also, I would like to see the estab lishment of an on-campus student lounge serving beer and wine. However, I do not want to see our campus littered with beer bottles anymore than I would care to see it covered with asphalt and cement. Should 24-hour visitiation rights be granted to the dormitories? I am in favor of 24-hour visitation on weekends on a dormitory option basis. Aggies are mature enough to handle such a policy or else they wouldn’t be here. A distinction needs to be made between visita tion and quiet hours. Quiet hours should be rigidly enforced to pro tect the rights of the residents, however the two can coexist without problems. Is the Aggie Code of Honor still useful in student life? The Aggie Code of Honor, though an ideal, is not obsolete and should not be discarded. It is some thing which should be strived for and given greater emphasis than it does at present.

CITY OFFICIALS Plaquemine, La., yesterday began a systematic program of shutting off water, gas, and elec tric utilities to customers who have been 60 days or more de linquent in paying their bills. Mayor Stanley Hebert said tin city cut utilities to 20 customers, including a lounge which owed $1,800 and a family which owed $1,030.

Finals Near ■ ««**»**■ s . 1» : Fastpitch Softball Tourney Progresses v Fastpitch Softball action is going on each weekend in the IM Fastpitch Tournament held at the Complex Fields across the railroad tracks. Last week, on a drizzly and dark Saturday, several games were played as the teams were weeded out. In Co-Rec action, the Happy Hoofers beat the Pack Rats, 12-8 in four innings. The Pack Rats started the game by scoring with their first five players, including Cliff Stewart, Sharon Anderson, Ron Boyd, Debbie Gratehouse, and Rick Hewitt. The second in ning also belonged to the Pack Rats, with runs by Cliff Stewart and Ron Boyd, while Terry Kohutek was the only scorer for the Happy Hoofers, leaving it 7-1 after two innings of play. The third inning was the turning point for the Happy Hoofers, however, as six players in a row scored runs, including Robert Stevens, Diane Hancock, Terry Kohutek, Terrye Kohutek, Terry Martin, and Diane Moore. Cliff Stewart scored once more for the Pack Rats to make it a tie game of 8-8 at the end of the third inning. The Happy Hoofers shut out their opponents in the fourth inning and scores once again by Terry Kohutek, Ter rye Kohutek, Terry Martin, and L. W. Johnson put them ahead for the final score of 12-8. In Women’s action, the BMF’s walked all over Cindy’s Sluggers, 18-2. All but one of the BMF’s scored at least once, putting them ahead 18-2 after only two innings of play. Scorer for the BMF’s in cluded Ann Maurice, Sandra Hately, Jana Tate, Jan Becker, Toni Corbell, Lou Williams, Melanie Haak, and Linda An drews. Carma Tamez and Jan Thompson were the scorers for Cindy’s Sluggers. Finally, in a very close Men’s Division game, J. C. Underwear beat Moore, 11-10 in seven in nings of play. J. C. took an early lead in the first inning with runs by four players while Moore only brought in one score. Seven more runs in the next three innings put J.C. ahead 11-1 after four innings but Moore made a valiant com eback in the final innings by shut ting out their opponents and scor ing 2, 4, and 3 runs in the last three innings. Their efforts were fruitless, however, as J. C. Underwear had a sufficient edge to win the game.
