Brown 1 (see “Election” page 8) Top of the News Campus AN ACADEMIC TEAM from the Wildlife and Fisheries Sci ence department won a national championship this past weekend. The team consisting of seniors Charles Meister, John Wood ward, Sharon Rogers, Scott Lutz and Tony Gallucci won the title in Ft. Collins, Colo., by defeating the University of Idaho twice in the championship round of the Western Students Conclave. AID to researchers this fiscal year surpassed the $40 million mark in March, the second con secutive year that plateau has been reached at Texas A&M. Support valued at $3,256,604 was received last month, placing the 1976-77 fiscal year cumula tive at $40,447,217, announced Dr. Robert Berg, university re search director. FIVE TEXANS have been named to the board of consult ants for the new Center for Edu cation and Research in Free Enterprise. Appointments were: James H. Galloway and Robert B. Little III of Houston, Rex B. Grey of La Grange, Felix R. McKnight of Dallas and Norman N. Moser of DeKalb. The cen ter, envisioned to be national in scope and impact, was formed in response to widespread concern for the future of the American economy. AUTHORIZATION for only four polling places was given by the Student Senate for the Thursday runoff elections at the Senate’s last meeting on April 5. These were the MSG, Sbisa, Commons and the Corps Guard- room. Election Commissioner Geri Campbell yesterday au thorized the setting up of polling booths at Zachry Engineering Center and some shuttle bus stops. But she said the Election Commission will not take re sponsibility for manning the additional polling sites on such short notice. She asks that stu dents interested in seeing that all these polling places are opened go by the Student Government office in MSC 216 today and to morrow. Texas THE PROBLEMS of subur ban life have caused an increas ing number of teen-aged suicides, says the director of a suicide prevention agency in Dallas. In 10 years the suicide rate for males 15-24 has risen 91 per cent nationally. The same rate for females has risen 50 per cent. And suicide is the No. 2 cause of death for all persons in the 15-24 age range. Director Charles Vorkoper says suburbs don’t offer enough community life, leaving especially the teen ager in a vacuum unable to find help in times of crisis. HEALTH OFFICIALS in Odessa say 24 Texas high school students and five chaperones ex posed to a suspected case of meningitis had not contracted the disease which killed one of their classmates. Permian High School student Gill Harrold, 16, died Sunday after becoming ill on an annual backpacking excursion to New Mexico. Health officials said the disease was contagious, but only through direct contact. OPPONENTS of legislation to levy a tax of about $1 billion a year on crude oil entering Texas refineries argue the tax would force refinery expansion to other states. Rep. Jim Nugent, D-Kerrville, contended the tax, which would increase gasoline prices about 1.4 cents per gallon, ultimately would be paid by pe troleum consumers, and said a large percentage of petroleum products refined in Texas are consumed in other states. The controversial proposal was dis cussed yesterday during a House Ways and Means Committe hearing. National REACTING STRONGLY to Soviet violations of its new 200-mile fishing limit law, the United States escorted a second Russian ship into port today and warned continued infractions could worsen relations between the two super powers. An nouncement of the action came as the 275-foot stern trawler Taras Shevchenko and her 93- member crew arrived in Boston Harbor under Coast Guard es cort. The Coast Guard alleges the trawler caught 50 tons of river herring — seven times the maximum permitted under its fishing license.
