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.

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.

Drinking bill passes Senate
United Press International
AUSTIN — The Senate
approved legislation 26-2 Monday
requiring Texans to be 19 years old
to buy or consume alcoholic be
verages, and in the process trig
gered allegations the sponsor of
the bill had “stolen” it from
another senator.
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.
