THE BATTALION Page 3 WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1981 ocal ,198; ri ouncil oversees varsity athletics By PHYLLIS HENDERSON Battalion Staff Establishing the administrative plicy for varsity athletics at a hool the size of Texas A&M Uni- ersity may sound like a big job, but the Athletic Council does just pat. The council’s responsibilities nge from recommendations on e athletic budget, department rsonnel and the development and operation of the athletic facili ties to the approval of lettering awards for varsity athletes. The seven-member council establishes guidelines for the administration of both the men’s and women’s varsity intercollegi ate athletic programs, such as foot ball, basketball, baseball and ten nis. One of the more important tasks of the council is to make sure that both the men’s and women’s programs adhere to the rules and regulations of the athletic organi zations to which the University belongs. The National Collegiate Athletic Association, the College Football Association, the South west Athletic Conference and the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women are just a few of these organizations. An unusually big project under- dministrators welcome andiver with document ■vn of the Y great, : up a st| endingotis Texas A&M’s new president, Dr Frank E. Vandiver, has been the job less than a week, but he eady is the recipient of a lavish [solution which he says he will isplay proudly.” It is a welcoming document lanimously passed by Texas !&M’s Academic Council which marily comprises deans. The [solution formally was presented way 11 by Vice President for Academic ey) haniiMairs I.M.

The APC previously presented a companion resolution to Dr. Charles H. Samson, professor of civil engineering who served the past year as the University’s acting president. “We wish to express our deep appreciation to Dr. Samson for his leadership over the past months,” APC members said, “and we ex tend our personal gratitude to him for the grace he has displayed in representing Texas A&M Univer sity.” By PHYLLIS HENDERSON I Battalion Staff i Members of the Bryan-College Station community whose musical tastes range from Richard Rogers to Mozart, Monday will have the iportunity to join a local choral group. ; The Community Singers will begin rehearsals for their 11th concert season Monday night from 7:30 to 9:30 at the BrAzos Center, 3232 Briarcrest Drive. No audi tions are held for chorus positions, but regular attendance at Monday night rehearsals is required. Auditions for soloists will be held Sunday from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Brazos Center. Appointments must be set up for soloist audi tions. Each soloist will have 15 mi nutes to present his program to the judges. Membership in the Commun ity Singers is open to all persons living in the Bryan-College Sta tion community. Dues are $10. “We usually have between 40 and 50 members,” said Linda Rundell, personnel director, “and usually more for the Christmas concert. ” New chorus members can join the group in the first few weeks of the season but they cannot join in mid-rehearsal for one of the con certs, Rundell said. Although teenagers as well as senior citizens are eligible to join the choral group, most members are between ages 25 and 40, Run dell said. “Probably a majority of these people are faculty and staff at A&M, but there are a few on either side,” she said. The chorus’ first program will be a tribute to Richard Rogers. It will be held in a dinner theater setting at the Women’s Club in Bryan, Oct. 29 and 30 at 6:30 p.m. Tickets will be $10. The chorus plans three more concerts for the season: Handel’s “Messiah” Dec. 13, in the Civic Auditorium; Mozart’s “Requiem” in early March; and an a capella concert in early May. Houstonian Paul Kirby will di rect the Singers this season, and they will be accompanied by Nan cy Matchett.
