New wave fashion show
heralds weekend music
Battalion Reporter
By DIANA SULTENFUSS
New Wave music, the beach music of the ’80s, is
coming in concert to Texas A&M University this
weekend, and a New Wave fashion show was to
be held today at noon to promote the weekend
shows.
About 10 members of the MSC Basement
Committee and the MSC Hospitality Committee
were to model New Wave outfits at Rudder Foun
tain. Nancy Cramer, a freshman theater arts ma
jor from Richardson, was to describe the models,
who were then to freeze-model like mannequins.
“It’s going to be pretty bizarre,” said Steve
Schulte, chairman of the MSC Basement Com
mittee. “We might have anything ranging from
designer clothes to clothes from the Twin Cities
Mission.”
Schulte, a junior engineering technology major
from Dallas, said he would wear white baggy
pants, a bright green and yellow shirt, a skinny tie
and sunglasses.
Gardner has
1 more vote
in recount
By BEUNDA McCOY
Battalion StafT
A final effort at becoming a Col
lege Station City Councilman
foiled Wednesday for Jim Gardner
when a vote recount produced
only one more vote for the defe
ated candidate.
Gardner, a Texas A&M Univer
sity urban and planning professor,
was defeated in the municipal
election Saturday by a margin of
19 votes. With the recount’s tot
als, Gardner lost the race by 18
votes, bringing his total number of
votes up to 1,298. Incumbent
Tony Jones won the race with
1,316 votes.
Gardner had petitioned Dis
trict Judge Tom McDonald for a
recount of the votes after several
of his supporters had urged him to
do so, he said.
The votes cast in Saturday’s
election were officially canvassed
in a council workshop meeting
Wednesday.
New councilman Dr. Alvin
Prause and incumbents Jones and
Larry Ringer were sworn in at the
session.
As a result of recent rezoning
decisions by the city council, sev
eral citizens opposition groups
had formed and campaigned to
some extent against the three in
cumbent councilmen seeking re-
election — Ringer, Jones and Roy
W. Kelly. As a result, all three of
the incumbent candidates cam
paigned on a platform of better
communication between the city
government and its citizens.
Jones, in an interview after the
election, however, said that he
does not expect continued opposi
tion from any of the groups.
‘Their intentions are good,”
Jones said. “I hope the doors
open, and I think we will have
good communications.”
When asked if he planned to seek
election to the council again,
Gardner replied: “I’ll be watching
and staying on planning and
zoning. ”
“Anything goes as long as it is emphasizing
bright colors and jewelry," Schulte said.
“A lot of it could probably be described as
‘preppy’, but it’s a little bit more radical than the
conservative preppy look.”
New Wave music will be provided tonight by
Brave Combo in 201 Memorial Student Center
and by both the Skunks and Brave Combo on
Friday night in the Grove. Admission tonight is
$1, and Friday’s admission is $2.50. Both shows
begin at 8 p.m.
Schulte said New Wave music is associated
with parties and having a good time. He said
many people like to dance to it. “It’s the beat,” he
said.
“It’s basically getting back to the roots of rock
and roll.”
Schulte said the Pretenders, the Clash, and the
B-52s are New Wave groups. He said New Wave
music began its largest growth period in England,
but he was not sure if the music originated there.
Debate team goes
to national tourney
By COLETTE HUTCHINGS
Battalion Reporter
Texas A&M’s varsity debate
team leaves for California today to
participate in the superbowl of
college debating — the National
Debate Tournament.
Mike Shelby, a senior from Vic
toria and Ruby Daniels, a sopho
more from San Antonio, will rep
resent Texas A&M in the four-day
tournament at the California
Polytechnic University in Pomo
na, Calif.
This is the first time Texas
A&M has ever been represented
in the National Tournament. Six
ty-two teams from across the Un
ited States will participate in the
tournament out of the total 2,000
teams who competed.
Baylor University is the only
other Southwest Conference team
to participate in the tournament.
The greatest poverty is in the gnawing empti
ness of the human heart. • Abandoned by
love • Powerless to change • Unable to grow
• Chained by poverty of body and spirit.
We work to relieve the prison of poverty.
There’s a richness in serving others.
Texas A&M qualified for the
tournament by receiving a bid
from the National Debate Tourna
ment Committee.
Shelby said the committee
gives bids to those teams who
either win a district tournament or
win a high percentage of elimina
tion rounds.
The National Debate Tourna
ment format is similar to the
NCAA basketball tournament,
Shelby said.
Texas A&M has won 71 percent
of the total 116 debate rounds.
“Each round lasts about 1-2
hours,” Shelby said. “This works
out to be about 6-7 days of de
bating.”
Although there are only 13 eli
mination rounds, Shelby said,
“Every round you debate counts. ”
Shelby, 22, the four-year veter
an of the team, said he has been
preparing for the tournament
since his freshman year. Shelby
debated at his high school in Vic
toria before coming to Texas
A&M.
Daniels, 19, joined the team
last semester after she transferred
to Texas A&M from a junior col
lege.
The National Debate Tourna
ment is sponsored by the Ford
Foundation. It was first begun at
West Point Military Academy and
now is in its 35th year.

Alcoholism
treatment
discussed
By SUSAN DITTMAN
Battalion Reporter
The world of the oourbon cow
boy is lonely, an alcoholism coun
seling specialist said Wednesday.
Speaking to about 30 people in
601 Rudder, Dr. Melvin P. Sikes,
the program director of research
and development for teacher edu- j
cation at the University of Texas, '
gave the keynote address for the
Fifth Regional Institute on Alco
hol Abuse and Alcoholism at Texas
A&M University.
Sikes said alcoholics often have
anxiety about a feeling of non
existence that is purely psycholo
gical.
Sikes said the mind is involved
in alcoholism, but exactly what
happens to the brain when the
alcohol hits the hypothalamus is
still unknown.
But he said studies have shown
that alcohol damages the brain.
Sikes said there are many diffe
rent ways to get into the treatment
situation of an alcoholic.
‘ Sometimes you have to hurt
the person in order to help him,”
he said.
Sikes gave an example concern
ing the wife of an alcoholic who
askd his help in curing her hus
band.
He said her husband came in for
treatments and finally became so
ber, but sometime later the wife
came back to him (Sikes) upset be
cause she didn’t feel like she had a
purpose in life since her husband
had been cured.
The program was sponsored by
the Brazos Valley Development
Council.
