Accrediting team
views med school
By KEITH TAYLOR
Battalion Reporter
An accreditation team is visiting the Texas A&M University Medi
cal School to see how the program is progressing and to consider
. renewing the college’s accreditation.
Dr. Elvin E. Smith, associate dean of the College of Medicine, said
a site survey team from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education
is here to survey the program and to give assistance if needed.
Smith said the college is now on provisional accreditation. The
team comes every two years to check on the progress of the school.
He said all new medical schools have to go through the provisional
period and the team will return before the first senior class graduates
and review the college for full accreditation then.
Smith said the team visited the Temple campus for third and fourth
year medical students Wednesday and will meet with Texas A&M
President Jarvis E. Miller and the dean of the College of Medicine,
Dr. Robert S. Stone Thursday.
Smith said the decision of the team will not be known for about two
months, but he had no reason to think the college will not be accre
dited.

Swimmers to begin
water ballet shows
Saturday night at 8
By PHYLLIS PONDER
Battalion Reporter
The Texas A&M Synchronized
wimming Club will present its
hird annual show, “Swimming
Pith the Oscars,” Saturday,
londay and Tuesday at 8 p.m. in
L. Downs Natatorium, the indoor
ivimming pool.
The two-hour show will feature
ivimming routines that contain
lunts choreographed to the music
ftheme songs from Oscar-winning
Ims.
The girls started practicing and
lanning for the annual spring show
efore Christmas,” said Pam
lorton, sponsor of the syn
tonized swimming club.
“Each routine is usually written
the fall by a girl in the club, who
io decides what costume will be
orn, ” swimmer Suzy Gieseck said.
The costumes are sometimes or-
ered from Houston or are made by
le swimmmers. “The material for
le costumes must be shear, net-
ke material that is very porous so
le water will not be absorbed by
fabric and weigh down the
ivimmer, Morton said.
“Sometimes we just improvise for
costume not available, Morton
id, For example in last year s
iow, “Salute to Walt Disney,” the
vimmers resembling Mickey
louse bought the plastic ears sold
stores.
The swimmers have no profes-
onal make-up artists to help them.
the waterproof make-up is
ought and applied by club mem-
Spotlighting, colored lights and
iher lighting techniques used in
le show are performed by friends
the club members. Lighting
quipment is usually rented from
ieUniversity or the Aggie Players.
KTAM radio’s disc jockey Kurt
Wiliams will be the master of
eremonies. “We usually' try to get
omeone well known around the
Iryan/College Station area to nar-
ate the show,” Giesecke said.
The club swims two hours every
Monday night in the Natatorium.
Two weeks before the show, the
swimmers practice every other day,
Morton said.
“A girl may practice two hours
every day depending on how many
routines she is in and how much
pool time she can get,” Giesecke
said.
Morton said due to the need of
practice time for athletic swimmers
and all-student swimming hours,
there usually is only a minimal
amount of time left for the syn
chronized club, although she said
more time has been available this
year than in the past.
The three-year-old club already
has participated competively in
Memphis, Tenn. and Cedar Rapids,
Iowa. Members are rated for stunt
execution and choreography compo
sition.
The admission price is $1 for
adults and students and 75 cents for
children under 12. The proceeds will
further the club’s finances towards a
trip to Birmingham, Ala. to compete
with other synchronized teams.
'Save the seals’
campaign starts
on Eiffel tower
United Press International
PARIS — Doug Allen, 23, of De
catur, Ill., a member of the Green
peace movement, scaled the Eiffel
tower in freezing weather Wednes
day and strung a banner above the
second platform reading “Save The
Seals.”
Allen took an hour to ascend the
tower in the dramatic start of
Greenpeace’s 1979 campaign
against the slaying of baby seals.
Police took Allen into custody for
a short time. Three policemen later
removed the banner, and Allen was
released after an identification
check.
