Student leaders to share By SHARON D. RENFROW Battalion Reporter Student government leaders from many southern universities will have a first-time chance to share ideas, problems and areas of strength at the Conference On Student Govern ment Associations to be held at Texas A&M University Feb. 15-17. “The main aim of this conference is to better equip student govern ments in areas of student services,” Joe Jordan, programming director for the conference, said. Representatives are expected from 30 schools in Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. Along with Texas A&M, six other universities — North Texas State, Stephen F. Austin, Southern Methodist University, Texas Tech and the University of Houston — will be sponsoring COSGA. These six and Baylor University met at TCU in November and plan ned the conference, Jordan said, dis cussing workshop topics and setting the tone for the conference. “We had a list of 20 topics from each of the invited schools and out of those we chose the workshops,” he said. The workshops will focus on stu dent services, student representa tion and student-advisor communi cation. Dr. Carolyn Adair, Texas A&M’s director of student activities and the student body advisor, will lead the advisor workshop in Room 203 of the Memorial Student Center. Other workshops will be held on the fifth and sixth floors of Rudder Tower. The central purpose of COSGA, Jordan said, is to bring student gov ernment representatives together to learn new ideas and have a good time. Jock snaps over Valentine gift. Dear Ann: Athletically I’m an All- American. Romantically I’m a nerd. I’m in love with a fox. But the com petition is rough. What’ll I give her for Valentine’s Day? Nervously Yours, Chicken Hunk Dear Chicken: Don’t punt. Send her flowers. It’s probably the best play you ever made. And the easiest. Just go to your nearest FTD Florist. He has the perfect Valentine gift. A beautiful bouquet that comes in a special bud vase. Even better, you can afford it. Remember, when in doubt, rely on the magic of flowers. It’s the only way a chicken can catch a fox. Good hunting. Helping you say it right. The FTD Valentine Bud Vase is usually available for less than $10.00. As an. independent businessman, each FTD Florist sets his own prices. Service charges and delivery may be additional. ®1981 Florists^ Transworld Delivery.

THE BATTALION MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1981 Page Student's car totaled in blaze Lee Flagg didn’t know what to think when someone knocked on his door late Saturday night and yelled that his car was on fire. “I went running out there and sure enough, it was flaming,” Flagg, an industrial engineering major, said. Flagg’s car was destroyed by a fire that began Saturday night about 11:30, only 30 minutes after he had parked it in the Military Sciences Building parking lot. The fire was first reported to the Cadet Corps guard room by a group of freshmen, said Kyle Basinger, cadet officer of the day. Basinger found smoke coming from under the hood and contacted the College Station Fire Department. He returned to find the car’s front end flaming. Fire department spokesman Allen Dodson said Sunday the cause of the fire is still under investigation. ?u»e$tone TIRE and CAR SERVICE SPECIALISTS 90 DAYS SAME AS CASH on Firestone revolving charge? um monthlv pavmom required •All fmanre charges refunded j * hen paid as agreed For Your Convonionco.
