Allll, 000 distributed MSC Open House set Survival kits inform Ags for Saturday night fun By Starr Moore Battalion Reporter Eleven thousand Aggies know more about Texas A&M University this year — that is, if they read the contents of the survival kit distri buted by Student Services. The survival kit contains 12 brochures including services offered by Texas A&M, a consumers’ guide, a student organization guide and a calendar of student events. Out of the 11,000 kits prepared, 4,500 were distributed to the dorms, and the rest were picked up by in terested students at locations at the Memorial Student Center. Eric Langford, student govern ment vice president for student ser vices, said the kits went faster than he expected. All copies were gone by Tuesday at 3 p.m. Langford said only 11,000 kits were prepared because Student Ser vices was limited by funds, volun teers and an under-estimation of the demand for the kits. Not only does the kit help fresh men become aware of the Universi ty’s services, Langford said, but it also informs those already aware of them when, where and how the ser vices may be used. He said some students have called to express their gratitude for the kit. Thirty-five volunteers, including some from the Residence Hall Asso ciation, the Off-Campus Aggies and the Corps of Cadets, worked all day until 10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday compiling the brochures in four rooms reserved in the MSC. Langford said of the joint work effort, “I never realized just how many 11,000 folders were ... It’s amazing how much went into it.’’ The kit brochures were paid for by the individual Texas A&M depart ments. The folders were paid from the Texas A&M Bookstore Profit Fund. Student Services is thinking of putting the kits in magazine form next year, Langford said, so private businesses would absorb the cost through advertisements. Great Melon Munch attracts fun-lovers andseed-spitters MSC Open House ’80, scheduled for Saturday, aims to give new students a closer look at Texas A&M University and returning students a chance to see old friends. Memorial Student Center tours, a reception, fashion shows and a street dance highlight the events, starting at 6:30. Dwight Smith, program adviser, said Open House will introduce new students to University administrators and faculty, student organi zations and MSC services. About 92 student organizations will recruit new members in the MSC second floor ballrooms, Smith said, including the 19 MSC Coun cil and Directorate committees. MSC tours will leave Rudder Mall between 6:30 and 10:25 p.m., to introduce students to MSC services, Smith said. Singers, ventriloquists and MSC College Bowl will perform in the Main Lounge. Outside, the MSC Hospitality Committee will hold two fashion shows at 7 and 9 p. m. by the fountains between the MSC and the Board of Regents annex. The Texas Highriders, former opening act for Ronnie Milsap, will provide the music for a street dance in front of G. Rollie White Coliseum from 8 to 11:30 p.m. MSC Aggie Cinema will present “10” at 7:30 p.m. and “The Jerk” at midnight for $1.25 in Rudder Auditorium. By Lydia Johnson Battalion Reporter The Great Melon Munch may join the list of traditions enjoyed by the students of Texas A&M University. More than 800 people were attracted to the festivities sponsored by the Organization for the Advance- ment of Spiritual Involvement Among Students (OASIS). Members of OASIS said the 400 watermelons gathered weighed approximately two and one-half tons and were cooled by 1,300 lbs. of ice. The seed-spitting contest, three- legged race and melon roll were a few of the contests which delighted spectators. Hakim Yasin won the seed spitting contest, men’s division, with a record of 38 ft., 11 in. Yasin, a 21-year-old sophomore industrial engineering major from Kuwait, said, “I could spit far because the wind was blowing against me and it made me try harder,” he said. Ellen Smith won the women’s di vision with a spitting win of 24 ft., 7 in. Smith and her sister Evelyn won the women’s division of the three- legged race in 11.1 seconds. “Start with the outside foot and don’t think about your partner, ” they said. Winning the men’s division were Randy Holmes and Mike Donovan with a record time of 12.7 seconds. The mixed division title went to Ubi Figueredo and Doreen Cote in 12.3 seconds. The melon roll was canceled when the melons couldn’t withstand the pressure. Kent Welkener, OASIS presi dent, said the Melon Munch objec tive was to get people together to have fun and learn about the club.
