Huts used less, losing money RHA rejects Q-Hut changes By JENNIFER AFFLERBACH Battalion Stall Proposed changes in policies for making reservations and putting down deposits for use of the Quonset Huts were unanimously rejected by the Residence Hall Association Tuesday night. Currently, RHA, Off Campus Aggies and the Corps of Cadets have the right to reserve the Huts in adv ance of any other organizations. The proposal from Dena Todd, coordina tor of student services, would have ended this priority period after the first day of classes each semester. Reservations would then be open to all eligible organizations on a first come, first served basis. The change was proposed because of the decline in use of the Huts by residence halls, which has put the Huts $700 in debt, said Tim Ryan, Quonset Hut committee chairman. “Out of the 25 residence halls, only nine have used the Q-Huts this semester,” Ryan said. One reason given for opposing the reservation change was that dorms cannot have their activities planned by the first day of the semester in order to reserve a hut. The group passed an amendment to the proposal extending the reser vation deadline to the first day of the third week of the semester. A proposal to charge $15 for all reservation cancellations was also amended. Delegates voted to charge the fee only if a cancellation is made within 20 days of the scheduled event. The entire $50 deposit re quired to reserve a hut is forfeited if a cancellation is made within 10 days of the event. In other business, Ron Blatchley, director of student affairs, expressed concern about the lack of participa tion in building the bonfire by both on and off campus students. “By no means am I advocating doing away with bonfire,” Blatchley said. “On the other hand, it’s not the kind of project that we like to have to almost coerce people into doing. ” Blatchley suggested that RHA form a committee to investigate the continuation of bonfire.

They came down here on their own and joined the Corps on their own,” Carter said. Unknown to him, however, offi cials at another university in the state, which he declined to identify, were not interpreting the statute the same way, and all advanced ROTC cadets were being assessed in-state tuition and fees. After a Texas A&M cadet called this to his attention. Carter said he requested an interpretation of the statute by the Texas Coordinating Board, the state’s school governing board. The board ruled that out-of-state cadets were selectees of the U.S. military and thus were eligible for the exemption. The ruling in favor of the out-of- state cadets, effective the spring semester of 1981, is not retroactive, however, Carter said.
