MILWAUKEE — Police officers
who arrested and allegedly harassed
a young engaged couple for necking
in a parking lot “must have better
things to do but will receive no offi
cial reprimand, the city attorney
says.
A 20-year-old man and his 19-
year-old fiancee were arrested about
1 a. m. Saturday and taken to jail from
an automobile in an isolated parking
lot, reportedly a “lover’s lane area of
the city.
The man spent the night in jail on a
disorderly conduct charge and the
girl was released about 4:30 a.m.
when a friend paid $55 in bail.

The Free University is charging

Surveyors
ake training
A surveyors short course regis-
ers Sunday for a week of inten-
jive training at Texas A&M Uni-
ersity.
The course, a special offering
if the Texas Engineering Exten-
ion Service, will register 35
rainees from industry, govern-
nent and small businesses. Ses-
iions at the Rudder Tower
hrough Feb. 10 will be under
he direction of Irving Webb,
vho heads the program for the
Texas Surveyors Association.
The training takes students
hrough running a transit, mak-
ng linear survey measurements,
:echniques of boundary retrace-
jnent, photogrammetry and
other aspects of surveying.
The students will get 48 hours
if instruction, including two-
hour night sessions Monday
[hrough Thursday, according to
Steve Shiller. Trainees in
structed here take the assoeia-
ise I hon’s certification exam in Aus-
I tin.

a materials fee. Of the $3.50, $3 will
be refunded to students who attend
three-fourths of the scheduled
classes.
Judy Putty, chairman of the Free
University Committee, said the
most popular classes in the past have
been bartending and dancing. She
said there would be four.sections of
both offered this semester, allowing
200 students to take bartending and
180 to take dancing.
Putty said some courses are simi
lar to required Texas A&M courses.
The Free University course on
human sexuality is similar to Sociol
ogy 315, she said.
Putty also said the human sexual
ity class is a team-taught course
coordinated by Hubert Beck, pastor
of the University Lutheran Chapel.
Although similar, the course is “not
the same caliber as Sociology 315,”
Putty said. “The films and discus
sions will be different and less
frank.
Basic flower arranging, another
popular course, is similar to Hor
ticulture 203, Putty said. It teaches
students to make corsages and flower
arrangements.
“The materials fee for this class is
higher than others, but the student
receives $40 worth of flowers. Putty
said. “You learn a lot, and it s fun.
Putty said the Free University
Committee finds teachers for the
IIBSON’SI
UNT CENTER
courses by sending memos to profes
sors, students and MSC committees.
“Sometimes we call businesses,
Putty said. “For example, Tom No
lan, tile owner ot TJ s, will teach two
sections of bartending classes, while
Phil Chandler, the manager of the
Sports Club, will teach the other
two.”
Putty said the teachers are not
guaranteed pay, but “we make an
agreement with them that 85 per
cent of the money collected from
students who are ineligible to re
ceive their refund goes to the
teacher, and the Free University
gets the rest.
Most of the classes will be held in
Rudder Tower and the MSC, Putty
said. Some exceptions are the basic-
automotive repair class, which meets
at the loading dock of the MSC; a
bicycle repair class, which meets in
the bike club room; and a library
techniques workshop class, which
meets in the library.
Brochures with information about
materials, fees, and specific-
schedules can be found on the first
floor of the MSC.
