Quinton Cross of the Texas Legal -\tO(l)N U)6 Ou(L A CfLU^&AAA ! U £ju oi\ ipjuf uodll or At" uoujT Services Center says the difficulties arise from the translation of the term “notary public.” A “notario publico” in Mexico must undergo a strict ex amination, be an attorney and is con sidered to hold influential status in society. By comparison, the only require ments a notary public must meet in Texas are to be at least 18 years old, a U.S. citizen, a resident of the state, pay a $1,000 bond, and receive the secretary of state’s approval to pos sess a notary seal. “These people go to the notaries here thinking they have the same powers as those in Mexico,” Cross said. < Fred Bayler - Student Government Vice President for Rules & Regulations Joe Beall - Student Government Vice President for External Affairs Kevin Patterson - Student Government Vice President for Stu dent Services Laura Brockman - Student Speaker Pro Tempore Teresa Beshara - MSC Director of Projects Kelly Bull - Pan-Hellenic President Gary Coppinger - Corps Chaplain Lisa Des Rosier - Briggs Dorm President - Fish Camp Chairman Bill Ougat - Corps Sergeant Major Mike Formby - Corps Scholastic Sergeant Beverly Gross - Accounting Society President Bill Jones - Sophomore Class President Ann Marie Landis - MSC Director of Public Relations Lynn Knaupp - MSC Vice President for Programs Ronnie Lastovica - Senior Class President Scott Patton - Deputy Corps Commander Ben Shanklin - Head Yell Leader Steve Smith - Commanding Officer Artillery Band Mike Weaver - Corps Administration Sergeant Ron Woessner - MSC Vice President for Administration “Woody” Woodruff - Ass.

Texas Avenue (across from the main entrance to A&M) Phone: 693-1063 a3RC< Some Mexican aliens pay these notaries hundreds of dollars with the mistaken notion that they are lawyers who can help in securing American citizenship papers. “The problem is extremely wide spread, especially in areas where there are Spanish speaking people,” said Erica Curb, also with TSLC. One legislator has introduced a bill to help combat the problem. Sen. Tati Santiesteban, D-El Paso, has a bill regulating advertising by notaries by requirng those who are not attorneys to note that when ad vertising in a language other than English. The bill prohibits the translation of the phrase “notary public” into Spanish without signifying the true meaning of the phrase, and is specifies that failure to comply with the law would be a deceptive trade practice The bill also reiji notaries state in their adveitij fees they may charge. Santiesteban’s bill wasj^ by the Senate State ' tee and will now go Senate. “A similar bill passedii| Grubb said. “You see this(n could crop up where ever migrant workers travelingi, out the United States.” Crippled A-plant no longe of concern, hearing told United Press International WASHINGTON — Government officials told Congress Wednesday the troubled Three Mile Island nu clear power plant is no longer of ur gent concern and Middletown, Pa., area residents have received only as much radiation as two chest X-rays. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Joseph Hendrie and a dumber of top government experts underwent a difficult cross- examination by a Senate health sub committee before hundreds of spec tators and a bank of television cameras. Hendrie acknowledged that the crippled atomic reactor is not com pletely cut off, but, “it does not offer urgent concern.” “We are getting closer to a long term shutdown,” he told Chairman Edward Kennedy, D. Mass., “but we do not by any manner of means regard our situation as hunky-dory and we can all go home.” ’ALTERATIONS 1 IN THE GRAND TRADITION OF OLD TEXAS WHERE MOTHER TAUGHT DAUGHTER THE FINE ART OF SEWING — SO HELEN MARIE TAUGHT EDITH MARIE THE SECRETS OF SEWING AND ALTERATIONS.
