Aggie Club to hold

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.

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.
SAFE is a student organization
which provides student volun
teers to make speeches promot
ing the free enterprise system.
