locks and baskets to all students on
the same day, which caused waiting
lines in the past, students met in the
gym stands three different days to
take care of handling class cards,
locks and baskets and clothes sepa
rately.
Mamaliga said he has seen this
problem coming for two or three
years. “The registrar’s office would
send me input on the expected
enrollment and I could see the
growth in the number of P.E. stu
dents coming,” he said.
“The responsibility was from our
end,” he said, “and we had to plan,
forecast and anticipate the needs.
“We started this new policy in the
spring because we would have fewer
students enrolled in P.E. due to
transfers or those who have finished
their P.E. requirements,” he ex
plained. “With fewer people in the
spring, we could see how it was
going to work with more in the fall. ”
Mamaliga said that so far this
method has proved to be better.
“After reviewing the results and
studying the data,” he said, “it’s
possible that a few minor adjust
ments will be necessary. However,
we think this approach is an im
provement over the one we had.
Proof of whether or not the new
method is working will be apparent
by the end of this week, Mamaliga
said.
Freshman pre-dentistry major
Ruth Calabria of Dallas likes this
method better. “This way isn’t as
big a hassle,” she said.
David Lish, a freshman P.E.
major from Midlothian, agreed. “It’s
more convenient this semester be
cause you go one day to get a locker
and the next day you get your
clothes. Nobody likes standing in
lines.”
Lish also said that he liked this
way of signing up for activities bet
ter because students are able to sign
up a week earlier and then get
started in classes sooner.
However, despite the fact that
there are no long lines to stand in
and registraiton for activities is dur
ing the first week, some students
prefer last semester’s methods.
A sophomore from Brenham
majoring in food science and
technology, Gail Zieschang, said, “I
think it’s ridiculous to keep going
back and forth to the gym three
times to do one thing. Last semester
I went one time and got everything
done.”
“Being a freshman,” said Cherri
Winston, an accounting major from
Alvin, “I really don’t know what to
take in P.E. and last semester I had
a week to ask around. I liked having
the week to think about it.”

ED HOT CARDIES AND LARKS
United Press International
WASHINGTON — If you drink less than 22.4 gallons of beer this
year, you’re not doing your part.
New government statistics show that Americans plan to spend
more than $24 billion this year on beer, wine, hard liquor and soft
drinks. This is enough to provide every man, woman and child 22.4
gallons of beer, 1.85 gallons of wine, 2 gallons of liquor and 34 gallons
of soft drinks.
And while the wine consumption is low in comparison with the
other drinks, the figures show wine to be the fastest growing of any of
the drinks. Sales have nearly doubled in the past decade, reaching
400 million gallons in 1977, the latest year figures were available.
