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

: 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

reached a successful conclusion,”
the APC members said. “We wel
come Dr. Vandiver to Texas A&M
University, extend to him our best
wishes and pledge our support as
he takes up his new responsibili
ties.”
Noting that Vandiver is recog
nized widely as an eminent scho
lar and “has demonstrated his
effectiveness as a leader in the
field of higher education,” the
Texas A&M administrators
observed that “his reputation
throughout Texas and the rest of
the nation is such that his accept
ance of this position brings honor
to this University.”
Presentation of the framed
document was made when Van
diver accepted an invitation to
attend an APC meeting and met
many of the deans for the first
time.
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.”

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.

taken by council members was in
volvement in the planning of the
Kyle Field expansion completed a
year ago.
In contrast to that involvement,
Dinny Lucas, staff assistant to the
chairman, said the council isn’t
working on “anything major like
the stadium now. ” The council is
concerned now with its day-to-day
responsibilities, she said. Council
members meet twice a month.
The council consists of six facul
ty/staff members and one student
representative. The faculty/staff
members are appointed by the
president of the University and
their terms are determined by
him. The student representative
is chosen by the president of the
student body, with the approval of
the University president and Dr.
John Koldus, vice president for
student services.
Present members of the council
are Acting Chairman Earl D. Ben
nett, accounting professor; Tom
Adair, physics professor; John
Hoyle, educational administration
professor; Mickey Little, health
and physical education professor;
James Bond, vice chancellor for
legal affairs; Bill Romane, large
animal medicine and surgery pro
fessor; and Joe Jordan, student
representative.
