Unlike the GOP election next month, the Democratic pres idential primary will be a “beauty ontest” election with no dele- ;ates selected. Both newspapers cited experi ence in their Republican en dorsements — the Morning News for Reagan and the Times ■ Herald for George Bush. “Reagan has the experience, the intelligence and the character to lead the United States at an exceptionally critical juncture in its history,” said the editorial by the Morning News, considered to be the more conservative of the two newspapers. The Times Herald, however, cited Bush’s experience as a con gressman, U.N. ambassador, chairman of the Republican Na tional Committee, head of the U.S. liaison office in Peking and as Central Intelligence Agency director. Both newspapers devoted little space to endorsing Carter.

Casino grosses $9,000 THE BATTALION MONDAY, APRIL 21, 1900 Page 7 By CAROL HANCOCK Campus Staff “Place your bets,” the suited deal er called before he dealt the cards. His assistant, dressed in red satin and a black slit skirt, collected the bets after the hand had been played. What might have been appropri ate in a Las Vegas or Atlantic City casino was unusual in the Memorial Student Center ballroom. But hun dreds of Texas A&M University stu dents wagered and gambled for four hours Friday night at the Residence Halls Association’s annual Casino. Casino ’80 gave students a chance at chuck-a-luck, craps, blackjack, the wheel of fortune, beat the dealer and backgammon, using Aggie money. A $3 ticket could be refunded for $3,000 in Aggie play money that pic tured various Texas A&M adminis trators. With their winnings, gamblers could place bids for items being au ctioned off in the main lounge down stairs. Mike Taylor, chairman of Casino, said RHA grossed over $9,000 from the event. After due payments are made, the net intake will go toward the RHA committees, hall program ming, next year’s Casino and other RHA related affairs. The top prizes, donated by Di amond Brokers International, were two five-point diamonds, two 10- point diamonds and a Vz-carat di amond. The Vz-carat gem sold for $36 million in Aggie money. More than 100 prizes and numerous services, donated by area merchants, were au ctioned off during the evening. Between bidding, Lyle Lovett, Cathy Stowe and Tim Wessell pro vided entertainment in the lounge. A group of musicians from the Com mons, Commonwealth, also pro vided continuous music in the main gambling room. This year’s Casino was a bit diffe rent from earlier ones. Many stu dents went searching in vain for Feed additive ban enforced United Press International DES MOINES — The head of the federal investigation of the DES scandal said his agency will recom mend prosecution of “anyone in volved” in use of the cancer-causing feed additive after it was banned by the federal government. “We will recommend prosecution from this bureau of anyone involved in using DES after the deadline,” said Dr. Lester Crawford, director of the Food and Drug Administration’s Bureau of Veterinary Medicine. “Clearly those people who distri buted the product after the deadline were the most culpable,” Crawford said. “They were the real villains in this situation. We ll go after the dis tributors first.” Crawford commented on the in vestigation in an interview broadcast this weekend on the copyright “Mar ket to Market” program of the Iowa Public Broadcasting Network.

Taylor said that event was excluded this year because it takes up room that can be used for parlor games. The elimination of the races from the entertainment room, where they were previously held, gave more people a chance to play craps, he said. Backgammon, which replaced the races, went well, Taylor said. It will probably be expanded in the future. The big difference, however, was the auction. Prizes were previously up for bid starting at midnight fol lowing Casino. This year, there was a continuous auction which, Taylor said, allowed those people who wanted to gamble and leave early to have a chance to buy something without staying all night. Auctioning had previously lasted until 2 a.m. or later but with the continuous bidding, the whole affair was wrapped up a little after 1 a.m. ALTERATIONS 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 "DON'T GIVE UP — WtU, MAKE IT FIT!"
