Many students don’t feel comfort- le going into the Student Prog- ms Office, where the Council is adquartered, Reynolds said. Ernen Haby Jr, MSC Council [resident, said the council will main- in the same duties when reorga- ized, but responsibility will be [rouped differently among the pr' "v - a c officers. j p or example, there will be an s ifficer in charge of student develop- >TATE Inent, and ano her in charge of finan cial resource development. ) U’TICAL | The reorgani ation is still in the planning stages.

The Council and Directorate con tains three divisions: MSC Council — The council is the policy-making body for the MSC, Reynolds said. The function of the Council is to “oversee the program ming of activities produced by the MSC directorate and the projects area, and also to provide input into the management process of the stu dent union.” The council also makes budget re commendations to Student Govern ment, Haby said, which makes the final ruling. The council handles “day-to-day" business. The council includes nine student officers; three Directorate represen tatives; the student body president; the editor of The Battalion; repre sentatives of the class councils. Corps of Cadets, Off-Campus Aggies, and the Residence Hall Association; five faculty members; and two former students. MSC Directorate — The Directo rate plans, organizes and produces various campus programs under the guidance of staff advisers. The Directorate includes students in the 19 MSC committees. The chairmen of the committees are the voting members of the Directorate, and the council officers attend Direc torate meetings as non-voting mem bers, Haby said. MSC Council Projects — Thir teen once-a-year events such as the MSC Christmas Program and MSC All Night Fair are under the control of the Council’s director of projects. The projects require a lot of work. but do not justify forming a full-time committee, Haby said. So they are grouped separately. Reynolds said the M SC program is one of the top college unions in the United States. About 1,200 students participate in the 19 committees and 13 special projects, Reynolds said, but twice that number could be included. The students produce about 650 prog rams each year. Many students have to be turned away from committess they are in terested in. For example, last year Town Hall interviewed 346 students for 25 positions on the committee, and OPAS interviewed 200 for 20 positions, Reynolds said . “Our goal is to provide opportuni ties for more students to become in volved in activities which lead to their personal growth and develop ment,” Reynolds said. “A substantial part of the development process ... comes outside of the classrooms and library.” Chemistry club here honored By ROBERT CURLIN Battalion Reporter Texas A&M University’s student affiliate chapter of the American Chemical Society has been named one of 51 outstanding chapters nationwide for the 1979-80 academic year. The Texas A&M chapter, better known as the undergraduate Che mistry Club, is composed primarily of chemistry, biochemistry and some chemical engineering majors. The ACS selects the outstanding chapters from reports submitted by each of the 743 chapters at the end of each academic year. These re ports include information about the chapter’s activities, speakers, pro jects and field trips throughout the year. Dr. John Hogg, adviser for the Texas A&M chapter, said he credits the recognition to last year’s presi dent, X. B. Cox III, and Vice Presi dent, William Huskey. “Without those two people, no thing could have happened,” Hogg said. “The success or failure of the club depends on the officers.” The club gives undergraduates the chance to meet internationally- known chemists and biochemists on an informal basis, Hogg said. It also provides names of faculty who are willing to assist undergradu ates in research. THE BATTALION Page 5A FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1980 THE ART SHOPPE Let us frame it for you!

Hall >fCollege and University Residence 1B721 C° n fe rence next May. j n con j U nction with the Texas A&M Residence Hall Association, the four day-conference running lay 21-24 will discuss issues and roblems common to all dorm resi- lents. Rick Mora, president of the Texas V&M RHA and this year’s national onference chairman, said about ,500 delegates are expected from all >ver the country. Mora, a senior finance major from Dallas, said the theme of the upcom- ng conference will be “Burning De lire, Fire Up Your Residence Halls. ” There are nine sub-committees, lach having a separate responsibility n preparing for and maintaining the :onference’s needs such as food, en- ertainment and in-town transporta- ion. He said funding will come from sach delegate’s fees. Normally the conference is a straight diet of lectures and prog rams, Mora said. But Mora said he and the other committee members decided on the idea of arranging the delegates in hall councils just as they would be back at their schools. Each hall council will plan a semester’s worth of hypothetical programming. i This interchange of ideas would probably be the biggest benefit of the conference for most delegates, Mora said. RHA was formed officially at Texas A&M in 1973. It is a council consist ing of the presidents and one ribe dict^!
