Political conserva tives given new alternafive ga OPEN Monday through Friday 10:45 AM-1:45 PM QUALITY FIRST By KATHLEEN McELROY Campus Staff The Young Americans for Free dom — the most visible and conser vative political organization at Texas A&M University — has split from its national organization and is now the Young Conservatives of Texas. Texas A&M and the rest of the state chapters split because they claim the national YAF wasn’t pro ductive. University chapter presi dent Dan Simpson said the change will help the new organization. “They (the national group) just were basically annoying us,” Simp son said. “We weren’t getting any money from them. “They solicit telling contributors they’ll use the money to develop chapters,” Simpson continued, “but in Texas we didn’t see any. A flyer distributed by the University chap ter says the national YAF grosses $1,000,000 a year from contribu tions. Separation came March 2 when the state Board of Directors of the Texas YAF met in Austin and voted unanimously to dissolve all ties with the national organization. University chapter member Gary Nelson, vice- chairman of the state organization, said even though all members didn’t vote, he said all supported the change. “We expect most our members to go along. ” Both Simpson and Nelson said the change won’t hurt the state organiza tion which has 40 chapters, mostly at colleges and high schools. The officials of the national YAF say they plan to sue the splinter group for the $4,000 it has raised so far, membership lists and, most im portantly, contribution lists. The membership figure for the na tional YAF is disputed by the Young Conservatives. “Judging at our last convention in Austin two weeks ago. Nelson said. “They say it’s around 60,(XX), but it’s more along the lines of 4,500,” said Simpson. Until the split, Texas was second only to New York in members. The lack of national recruiting was another move for the separation, said state chairman Steven Munisteri, a law student at University of Texas. A flyer distributed by the University chapter says the old name not only sounded radical, but also left some people thinking it was a liberal orga nization. “People will understand what we are,” said Nelson, a junior political science major from Pasadena. "It should improve our ability to mar ket ourselves on campus." The Un iversity chapter curreiL ; members out of the li|Unite the state.

Evans Lib rary because of a policy change approved at the March Library Council meeting. “Because of a shortage of carrels and lockers, the old policy allowed only faculty and graduate students to use the facilities. Dr. Evelyn King said. King is associate director for collection interpretation. Effective immediately, King said, seniors who can present Texas A& M identification may use the short term carrels on a first come, first served basis. King said there are 100 spaces available in the carrels. There are eight spaces per carrel. King added that graduate students and faculty members still have first priority. If they are working on approved books, theses, papers and research projects may be assigned a carrel space for an entire semester. After the third week of the semes ter, seniors may use the remaining short-term carrel spaces for two months or less while they are work ing on a research or other approved project. The policy now allows seniors who cannot get a carrel to try for a locker. In the past, lockers were reserved for faculty and graduate student use also. King said approximately 300 lock ers are available. The policy requires articles kept in ! United lockers and carrels bt^LAN, I t In i kctl out.

Price, though, refused to grant a prosecution motion to reject Nageley’s planned defense that Mark Quinn, 23, is innocent of rape and robbery charges because he is insane by reason of astrological influ ence. Rejecting the defense before the trial started would be premature, Price said. Denton and others like him are “forced by planetary obedience” to “lead violent and troubled lives, Nageley said at the hearing Mon- 846-1021 111 College Main 846-4116 articles left will be re®, library so the carrel i® signed.
