A resolution to install washers and
dryers in dormitories that do not
have them is expected to pass the
student senate at its Wednesday
meeting, said Kevin Patterson, vice
president for student services. He
said the bill will be presented for
emergency consideration.
Patterson lists two reasons why he
thinks the proposal will pass. He
says, an opinion poll taken by stu
dent government last fall “substan
tiates a need” for the machines, and,
many senators live in dorms that
would be affected and can see the
positive effects of the bill.
Only seven of 31 dormitories have

washers and dryers, said Ron Sasse,
assistant director of student affairs in
the housing office.
Jim Bob Huff, former head of the
laundry subcommittee of student
government, said laundry problems
of on-campus students were a major
topic at a meeting of resident ad
visors and dorm representatives
held before the spring break. Many
complained that commercial laun
dromats were dirty * and the
machines were frequently out of or
der. Others objected to the incon
venience of having to go off-campus
to wash.
Students who do not want to wash
their own clothes may subscribe to a
semester laundry plan offered by
the University and Fabric Care
Service Inc. of Bryan. Cost is $53.00
Ron Vandiver, president of Fab
ric Care, says students not on the
plan can still bring clothes to a laun
dry substation on campus and have
them cleaned on a cash-and-carry
basis at below market prices. Shirts,
for example, cost 35 cents each.
Vandiver added that the cost of
the semester plan will probably in
crease next fall, mainly because of
he faces increased labor costs from
the new minimum wage law.
Corps Commander Mike Gentry
said he thinks on-campus students
are ready for another laundry op
tion.
“In my opinion, the majority of
students don’t feel the present
laundry plan is economical. That s
why a large number have dropped
off. Most would like to have washers
and dryers on campus.”
Vandiver said that the same
amount of clothes that cost an aver
age of $3.35 a week on the semester
plan would cost $11.30 off campus
and $7.95 on the cash-and-carry

basis.
A poll taken by student govern
ment last fall indicates that many
students feel as Gentry does. The
survey was given to 851 Corps
members and 1,024 civilian stu
dents.
in response to the question,
“Would you he in favor of installa
tion of washers and dryers in your
dormitory?” 82 percent of Corps
members said yes. Seventy-five
percent of the civilians said yes.
Another question asked students
if they would be in favor of installing
washers and dryers in one of the
dorm rooms. Sixty-three percent ol
civilians said yes. In the Corps, I
percent said yes.
If the laundry resolution
passed, it would be sent to Dr. Jol
Koldus, vice-president for studenl
services. Koldus said he would have
to study the feasibility of the propo
sal with Howard Vestal, vice presi- i m e h
dent for business affairs.
Koldus said an agreement als
would have to be reached with Vai
diver before any action could 1
taken. Vandiver holds a five-year
contract with the University,

Engineers get gifts
Awards totaling $13,000 have
been presented to Texas A&M Uni
versity’s College of Engineering by
Exxon.
Ray Tickner, coordinator of re
cruiting and placement for Exxon,
presented checks for a minority en
gineering program and the Junior
Engineering Technical Society
(JETS).
The minority engineering pro
gram was funded with $10,000, up
$3,000 from the Exxon gift in 1977.
The money is divided into $750 to
washers and dryers to compete with
the laundry service. He said it was
the only way they could get anybody;
to bid on a contract.

The AR 14—the largest
2-way speaker system AR
makes. Superbly accurate,
with a rear mounted switch
which allows adjustment of
treble energy to room acous
tics. Handles up to 100 watts
per channel. Suggested
retail price $180 each
Now, from the people who
invented the acoustic suspen
sion principle and the dome
tweeter, comes another major
innovation.
Liquid cooling.
All AR speakers now feature
high range drivers, cooled by an
axotic magnetic fluid which costs
nearly $3000 per gallon. The
benefit: more power handling
capacity. More power to speak
the truth and give you accurate
reproduction of what went down
at the recording session.
There’s no other speaker like
an AR, and no other leading
speaker that gives you a full 5-
year warranty on construction
and performance as AR does.
Compare them and we think
you’ll like what you hear.
