Aggie Club to hold membership drive ied nd on Sal downthatfj istence, th By TERRI COULSON Battalion Reporter The Student Aggie Club, which supports scholarships for student athletes with its membership dues, is having a meeting and membership drive Wednesday. Michelle Roland, committee chairman for the group, said one ob jective of the meeting is to combat some bad publicity the club recently received when it started selling Ag Flags. The group is concerned with the impact of the flag publicity and is trying to project a good, wholesome image, she said. The flags were advertised in The Battalion with the phrase, “many years ago members of the Corps tra ditionally waved flags at football games.” Earlier in the semester, Head Yell Leader Mark Outlaw spoke out against the Ag Flag at a midnight yell practice, saying that students would wave the flags instead of participat ing in yells and wildcats at the foot ball games. ‘ We’re not trying to tear up tradi tion,” Tracy Stephens, president of the Aggie Club, said. “We’re trying to promote school unity. ” ' We were not trying to rock Aggie tradition,” Roland said. “We were selling them mainly for people to hang on their wall, or to keep as a memento.” Roland said that if the club had conferred beforehand with the yell leaders and had done it in a more organized way, the flag would have tered bus to either the University of Texas football game or the LSU bas ketball game. The club sponsored a charter last year and it was very successful, Ro land said. The meeting will start at 7 p.m. in the Lettermen’s Lounge. By JENNIFER AFFLERBACH Battalion Staff Changes in school bus routes and selection of the 1980-81 Textbook Committee were approved by the College Station Independent School District Board of Education Monday night. Four new bus routes were established for the 1980-81 school year and modifications were made on all existing routes. The routes will be submitted to the Texas Edu cation Agency for approval and funding. The total miles the buses are operated exceeds the budget estimated mileage by about 8,500 miles per year, said Donald P. Ney, assistant superintendent. This is because the official mileage reported does not include transportation of the buses to and from the bus compound, he said. The increased mileage could cause a budget overrun of about $14,000, Ney said. The State reimburses the school district for mileage at a rate of 68 cents per mile if the routes are approved, and this will offset some of the extra cost, Ney said. The Textbook Committee, comprised of 14 teachers Fall contest photo show in gallery The Memorial Student Center Camera Committee will show an ex hibit of the fall photo contest winners in the MSC Gallery, starting at 7:30 p.m. tonight. First, second and third place win ners as well as honorable mention entries will be on display today through Sunday. Ed Martinez, committee chair man, said students and faculty mem bers entered 314 photographs in 24 categories including: architecture, landscape, nature, photojournalism, sports and still life. Bonfire photographs can be ordered this week in the MSC Main Lounge from members of the MSC Camera Committee. Pre-bonfire prices for the prints are: 8-by-10 inch print - $2.50; 11- by-14 inch print - $8, and 16-by-20 inch print - $15. The week after bonfire the prices will increase to $3.50, $10 and $20, respectively. Martinez said checks are accept able. The prints can be picked up in the MSC Main Lounge Dec. 1-5. and the school superintendent, Bruce R. Anderson, will participate in adopting textbooks submitted by the State. For the first time since 1971-72, reading texts up through the eighth grade reading level will be among the selections, said H.R. Burnett, assistant superinten dent of instructional services. Other books to be chosen this year include earth science, psychology, sociology, vocational and business textbooks. In non-action items, Ney reported the estimated en rollment for the 1980-81 school year to be 3,700, a 5.35 percent increase over last year. He estimated that slightly more than 5,000 students will be enrolled in College Station schools in 1985. A handbook of substitute teacher guidelines and eva luations that was presented to the school board will help substitutes to be “other than a so-called baby-sitter,” School Board President John C. Reagor said. School Superintendent Anderson volunteered to serve as a substitute teacher “from time to time. ” Energy discussion set for Wednesday The means of determining the price of oil, and projections for oil prices and supply will highlight a Wednesday afternoon slide show and program in Rudder Tower. “Economics and Energy,” a presentation by economic plan ning consultant James Williams of ARCO Oil and Gas Co. is being sponsored by the Student Advo cates of Free Enterprise. The free program will be held in 308 Rudder at 1 p.m. Williams is the second speaker presented by SAFE, a spokesman for the organization said. The group plans to present Michei T. Halbouty, the liaison for transition for the U. S. Depart ment of Energy, next month, the spokesman said.
