Squire said that after investiga tion, he found some statements made by Owens at that meeting to be either false or based on hearsay, and he called a special meeting Wednesday night to reconsider Owen’s nomination. He met stiff opposition from committee members who said the meeting was in violation of the Open Meetings Law, and that Owens could not be reconsidered under parliamentary rules. The committee voted to adjourn the meeting without reconsidering the nomination, and Squire an nounced his resignation. There was speculation Thursday that Squire would not meet the deadline to certify Owens. County Judge William Vance told commit tee members he would allow one of them to file the nomination Thurs day afternoon if Squire failed to enter Owens name with the county clerk. Regents soon to get athletic dorm study I A feasibility study to determine whether an athletic dormitory for Iwomen will be constructed is near completion. I According to Wally Groff, assistant director for business affairs for jTexas A&M University, the study will end “soon. Its findings will he [submitted to the Board of Regents for approval. A modular dorm similar to Wofford Cain Hall, but with no dining [room, is being planned, Groff said. The proposed two- to three-story [structure will house 120 scholardship holders. J Members of the study group went to Abilene Christian University in learly August to view that school’s new women’s athletic dorm. [ Alumnus Don Morris also went with the committee. Morris and his [wife contributed in excess of $400,000 in stocks toward the building last year. J One plan calls for the structure to be built in the open space near the All Faiths Chapel and Beutel Health Center, but an alternate spot may be chosen by the board of regents. for post ail clerk hits Texas ;n Bowers r of Educati ervices at sits' on Sunt J.M.

Owens had threatened suit to have his name put on the ballot, and added he would also take legal ac tion against Squire for slander. He said those statements which Squire said misled the committee were in answer to loaded questions. Owens said Thursday he would drop consideration of any legal ac tion if no further statements were made against him by Squire. “It’s taken a while, but Mr. Squire did finally get in under the deadline, ” Owens said after learning of his certification for the ballot. “I certainly appreciate it. “My main concern is for the party and the other members of the executive committee,” he said. “I hope they can elect another chair man that will carry on the party and make it a real two-party county.” Brazos County Republican co- chairman Annette McMullen said Thursday she did not know what will become of the party’s leader ship position. She said there was some confusion as to whether she is now leading the local Republican contingent, or if her appointment as co-chairman ended with Squire’s resignation. McMullen said she and other committee members are in the pro cess of talking with party leaders in Austin about the problem, and will call another executive committee meeting next week to plan the group’s leadership. i i" f '• i& BUY, SELL, RENT . . .
