Hi : arrests i CS board reassigns head coach By JOHN WEAVER Battalion Reporter The College Station school board, after an executive session that ended at midnight Monday, reassigned the school’s athletic director and head football coach. “We accepted the superinten dent’s recommendation to reas sign the athletic director,” board President John Reagor said follow ing the session. Reagor did not say where Bob Caskey, the athletic director and head football coach, would be reassigned. Caskey’s reassignment hap pened during the three-hour closed door session that Reagor called a “performance review” of Superintendent Bruce Anderson. The board also voted to hold the district trustee election on April 4. The school balloting will be held in conjunction with College Station’s municipal elections. Absentee balloting for the school election will be held in City Hall, not the school administration building as in past years, the board announced. “By holding the election with the city, we can cut a lot of the expenses we might normally have,” Reagor said. The board approved a $3,192 contract with Texas Voting Sys tems to provide ballots and other supplies for the April 4 school trus tee election. Most of the manpow er needed for the election will be provided by the city. 1 "'I . . . .... : .. • What's up TUESDAY CATHOUC STUDENT ASSOCIATION: Inquiry Class will be held at 7:30 p.ra. in the St. Mary's Student Center.

II HE » P id ir $e rs fain By RUTH M. DALY Battalion Reporter Four undergraduate colleges at Texas A&M University have re cently combined operations of their cooperative education prog rams. The major advantage of the newly centralized office is that there is now a “full-time staff to devote lull-time work to the co-op program,” Steve Yates, director of Texas A&M’s co-op program, said. Co-opping is a specialized work/study program in which par ticipating students usually alter nate semesters between attending school full time and working full time in his major field of study. Prior to the change, the Col leges of Architecture, Business Administration, Engineering and Science each had separate co-op programs with part-time coordi nators to recruit and evaluate em ployers and students and place students on co-op work assign ments. All nine undergraduate col leges in the University have a co op program; however, five of them chose not to participate in the cen tralization — Architecture and Environmental Design, Educa tion, Geosciences, Liberal Arts and Veterinary Medicine. Those colleges continued inde pendent programs because they have “unique arrangements with personal contacts with em ployers,” Yates said. The non-participating colleges also have a small number of co-op students, so they don’t require a full-time co-op staff, he said. Co-op programs at universities which sponsor a large number of co-op students, like GeorgiaTech, Mississippi State and Auburn, were studied prior to the reorgani zation at Texas A&M, Yates said. And each of the colleges studied had fully-centralized co-op offices. Deans of the four colleges parti cipating in the reorganization named a representative to an advisery council in the centralized office to ensure that students fulfill their college’s academic require ments. The members of the council will also help establish policy and mC HOSPITALITY keep academic programs under the control of each college. Also new to the co-op program this year is a student organization which provides input to the admi nistration regarding co-op policy. The Co-op Association specifically helps students with housing prob lems that may arise because of co opping and provides social in teractions among co-op students, Yates said. The centralized office, now lo cated in the Old Creamery Build ing on the west side of campus, is planning to move to Harrington Tower in July. Regardless of some centraliza tion of administrative functions of the co-op program, however, each college has still retained indepen dent policies for its co-op stu dents. For example, the College of Liberal Arts does not give credit for co-opping, but the Depart ment of Communications in the College of Liberal Arts gives up to four hours credit for a student interning, working in his major field of study. Yet, in other colleges co-op stu dents can earn from one to two credit hours, depending on the college. Co-opping is distinguished from interning because a co-op student must work at least two terms (unless he quits the prog ram), and at least one of the work terms must be during a regular fall or spring semester. Typically, co-op students work three or four terms, 16 weeks or a semester, each. In most cases it doesn’t take co-op students any longer to gra duate than persons who do not co op, Yates said, referring to a sur vey he conducted. Students in general take 4.55 years to gradu ate, while co-op students usually graudate within 4.5 years. Like students who intern, co op students must also pay tuition to receive course credits. Cost of the tuition is at least $50, and an additional $6 for building-use fee must also be paid. Another stipulation to receive credit for co-opping is a written technical report submitted at the end of each work term. To participate in the co-op program at the University, a stu dent must have a 2.5 overall grade point ratio and have finished at least two semesters of school. x> e - ^ C* t Sales, Service & Repairs Emergency Pick Up Service K 846-7580 S 403 University • Northgate 0 /sooocososoooooocooocool TfdfitS: tQUE ES IXTAPA?

The measure by Sen. Bill Sar- palius, D-Hereford, passed with little debate, but Sen. Walter Mengden, R-Houston, made it clear he did not approve of Sarpa- lius, a freshman senator, taking over authorship of the bill on which Mengden had worked for more than two years. Mengden sponsored a similar bill this session, and the two flip ped a coin in Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby’s office to determine which bill would be considered by the Senate. Mengden yielded graciously but grudgingly during the debate, saying he would support Sarpa- lius’ bill. “I would like all my fel low senators to know my efforts are not to horn in on the legislation other senators have worked on,” Mengden said. “I would hope in the future other senators would show respect for members of this body who have legislative experience on an issue and have worked on it over the years.” While Mengden only hinted at his unhappiness that Sarpalius’ bill was passed rather than his, aide Art Kelly was openly angry about it. “I think this is an atrocious ac tion on the part of Senator Sarpa lius,” Kelly said. “I think it is a breach of ethics and I hope it will not be repeated, We are the ones that created that bill out of no thing, and spent thousands of hours developing it. We would never do anything like this with other people’s bills.” Sarpalius, who defeated Re publican Sen. Bob Price in the November election, said he made it a major issue in his campaign to raise the minimum legal drinking age from 18 to 19. Mengden said Hobby invited both men into his office to try to resolve which of their bills would be considered, and suggested a coin toss as the solution. “We went in the lieutenant governor’s office and flipped a coin, and he won and I lost,” Mengden said. The bill raising the miminum drinking age was declared an emergency by Gov. Bill Cle ments, who said school districts throughout Texas have had prob lems with 18-year-olds consuming beer on campus and coming to class drunk. Sarpalius’ bill, which now goes to the House, would allow 18- year-olds to work in stores and bars selling alcoholic beverages, but would not allow them to own the business or to buy or consume alcoholic beverages. Sens. Oscar Mauzy, D-Dallas, and LLoyd Doggett, D-Austin, voted against the bill. POOR MAN’S SPECIAL 1.95 CHICKEN FRIED STEAK Fries & Salad Soup...
