Heart attacks, sprained ankles and
heat exhaustion are just a few things
the Texas A6c M Emergency Care
Team (ECT) is qualified to treat.
The team, composed of 35 stu
dents, administers emergency care
during campus events and activites.
Last year,the ECT helped the
American Heart Association screen
2,400 people for hypertension in
two days, said Steve Borron, ECT
squad leader. They also covered
rugby games, fencing tournaments,
the A&M Rodeo Association’s
rodeo, the Elephant Bowl, the Bon
fire (with other first aiders) and
football games.
Ideally, we will have four team
members present at every home
football game, said Jim Persons,
senior physical education major and
president of the club. During the
last home football game many
people suffered from heat exhaus
tion and the ECT was there to help,
Persons said.
“This year we seem to have a
good percentage of people that are
pre-med, pre-nursing or pre-vet
majors,” Persons said.
Team members have various
qualifications. Some are Emergency
Medical Technicians (EMTs), or
Emergency Care Attendants
(EGAs), while others are certified
standard first aiders, Borron said.
Dr. Claude B. Goswick, director
of the Beutel Health Center serves
as ECT club adviser.
“On May 10, 1977, two team
members who were working with
Mid-Texas ambulance service were
responsible for saving my life,”
Goswick said. He had suffered a
heart attack and the students as
sisted in cardiopulmonary resuscita
tion.
WE RE HUMAN!
WE KNOW ALL ABOUT ERRING . . .
BOTH AGAINST OUR FELLOW MAN AND AGAINST GOD.
BUT WE ALSO KNOW
ABOUT FORGIVENESS
AND GOD S LOVE! THAT
CHANGES LIFE!

Due to a shortage of volunteers
and equipment, the ECT is not able
to aid all organizations seeking their
services, Goswick said.
“Right now there is sufficient
medical equipment to outfit one
squad,” Borron said.
The team is divided into three to
five squads consisting of six to ten
members and each squad is coordi
nated by a squad leader. The club
receives book store funds to help
buy equipment, but donations are
always welcome, he added.
“Anytime they should need more
equipment we (the Health Center)
are glad to help, Goswick said.
Since the team has no emergency
vehicle, the Health Center makes
their vehicle available to the ECT
when it is not in operation, Goswick
said.

tober of 1976 and was recognized by
the University as an official club that
fall, Borron said.
“The club’s main objectives are to
provide first aid services to the
community and campus organiza
tions, stimulate interest to further
first aid and health care education,
and promote emergency prepared
ness on campus, Borron said.
“Although we are primarily
geared toward student organiza
tions, we can and have been asked
by community organizations to help
them,’’ Persons said.
Applicants for membership must
have a current first aid certification
and then be approved by the Ad
missions and Operations Commit
tee, Borron said. The committee is
made up of charter officers, new of
ficers, the faculty sponsor, Laura
Kitzmiller of the Health and Physi
cal Education Department, and the
team adviser.
Kojak testimony?
United Press International
MIAMI — Telly Savalas, televi
sion’s “Kojak,” may be testifying for
the defense in the murder trial of a
teen-ager who plans to plead that
“TV intoxication” was responsible
for the robbery-killing of an elderly
neighbor.
Defense lawyer Ellis Rubin said
Savalas “is familiar with the effects
of TV violence” and he wants the
actor to “tell the jury why he goes
around the country making state
ments that such shows are harmful
to children.”
Savalas says he deplores TV vio
lence, and notes that Kojak relies
more on reason than firearms to
catch crooks.

The constitutionality of the comp

consider the bill s constitutionality.
The Senate also approved Stu
dent Body President Robert Har
vey’s proposal to establish five
committees to introduce coordinat
ing administration between the
standing committees of Student
Government and the executive
branch. Harvey said these commit
tees should help with the growth of
Student Government and its execu
tive branch.
“I’m not interested in specific
legislation,” Harvey told the Sen
ate. “I’m interested in the overall
growth of Student Government and
the executive branch. Student Gov
ernment is just starting to gain
momentum at A&M.”
The appointments of Taz Thomas
and Jeb Hensarling as off-campus
undergraduate senators were ap
proved. Seven Senate positions are
vacant, Harvey said, including two
off-campus graduate positions, one
agriculture graduate, one senior sci
ence undergraduate, one sopho
