Hie RHA also presented a three- irt proposal recommending exten- ''Oll ft m| of dormitory visitation hours to 1 ,e (JfFice of Student Affairs for con- e with the ^i lti on. npete in a B 16 proposal is based on a random University I ool girls to d the girls allowed to / defaulted survey of 1,200 to 1,400 dorm resi dents last semester. The survey was conducted by the RHA and the marketing depart ment. Results of the survey showed 67 percent in favor of lowering weekday visitation to 10 a.m., 62 percent fa voring visitation until 11 p. m., and 64 percent wanting 24-hour weekend visitation. The first part of the proposal rec ommends that visitation be allowed to start at 10 a. m. instead of the cur rent time of noon. Secondly, dorms could vote to ex tend visitation until 11 p.m. week- nights instead of 10 p.m. The proposal also recommends al lowing 24-hour visitation on the weekends. Weekend hours now extend from 10 a.m. until 1:30 a.m. “The proposal suggests what stu dents want,” Thompson said. If the proposal is passed, it does not guarantee that a residence hall will automatically follow the policy. It will make the new visitation hours possible for the dorms that want it. “Each Dorm Council would vote to determine visitation hours for its dorm,” Thompson said. The proposal has been turned in to Basse’s office. His staff will look it over, add suggestions, then give it to him, he said. Sasse will also look over the propo sal and add comments before giving it to Ron Blatchley. “My staff has a hectic last three weeks of school,” Sasse said. “I don’t know when they will begin looking over the proposal.” After being reviewed by the Stu dent Affairs Office, the proposal will go to John Koldus, vice-president for Student Services, then to President Jarvis E. Miller, and the Board of Regents. “I don’t know what weight the proposal will have on the administra tion,” Thompson said. “It is possible that only one or two parts of the pro posal will be approved.” LILY OF FRANCE win iston the smaller r Lake City md receive s lobbyist, You’ll see don’t want nger Hous- all commu- perty taxes irovide fire osal. day nek before I., family, it 20 miles i the train ssing near are ified with he doctor Derminio lied out a and then 1 about a t cured of sr lucingall chairman he action i to fight Rn a week idelines. prices of on te Cyrus ptiating govern- ted last sessions iverning ure that eement d to set ould be zhnev. gh today mph. fwo concrete canoeing I By RICHARD OLIVER Battalion Staff Take heart. Aggies. At least one H from your University won mething over the weekend. The ixas A&M American Society of ivil Engineers is now the national Hipion in men’s concrete canoe. Hg- He men’s team of Bruce Carr and :ott Holman, racing against 40 impetitors, won the competition, ;ld in Manhattan, Kan., going H. In the meantime, they shaved ree seconds off the national record B a winning time of two minutes id 14 seconds. Hie ASCE won second place rer ll with 33 points, behind the niversity of Kansas, which had 43. Btesides the men’s team, the Ag es were paced by a second place lowing by the faculty team of Dr. oward Furr and Professor Mike iggins. Tom Hooper, vice-president of SUE, was disappointed with the jrformance. “It was a real shame that we didn’t in the team championship,” he id. We were disappointed be- iuse we clearly would have won the hole thing except that we were tiled for two disqualifications, both pnst the eventual winners, the ML LOUT THEATER University of Kansas.” The disqualifications occurred when an Aggie canoe bumped Uni versity of Kansas canoes from behind while making 180-degree turns. Hooper said the disqualifications were fairly called, and the infractions; automatically allow the team which was intefered with to advance to the next round, and thus receive more points. “Those infractions may well have been the turning point,” said Hooper. “In both races that we were called for inteference in the men’s competition, we ended up really smashing the University of Kansas team.” Hooper said each race was 1000 feet long, and consisted of two 500- foot stretches with a 180-degree turn at the midpoint. “Another thing that really hin dered us was the fact that although we had the fastest canoes in the com petition, they were the longest, which really caused problems at the turn. At times, we were almost dead still trying to turn them around.’ Hooper is optimistic about next year. “We’re looking forward to next year to sweep,” he said. “There will be a lot of testing to be done, and we ll be back to win it all.” Hon ongress .Liz Newlf Andy WiHia® Dillard Stoi* ....
