Dave Conception contributed |ree hits including the only dou ble in the Reds’ 11-hit attack, but Berenyi was the force that stopped Houston’s 12-game home win streak. He allowed only four hits and struck out 12 batters, nine in a streak from the fourth inning to the ninth when he set down 20 straight hitters. “All I threw were the fastball and the slider. They were both working well. I kept telling myself before the game that I was gonna mix a couple of change-ups in, but I didn’t need to,” Berenyi said. Unfortunately for the Reds, they can’t take a winning combina tion — Berenyi pitching in the Astrodome — with them on the road. He’s 3-0 under a roof this year, and his performance Mon day was his best, Astros Manager Bill Virdon said. “That’s about the best stuff and the best natural stuff as I’ve seen in a long time. His fastball and his breaking ball are similar to J.R.’s stuff,” Virdon said, referring to idled Astros all-star pitcher J.R. Ricahrd. Berenyi pitched under pressure the entire game partly due to Bench’s fielding error in the first inning. He failed to barehand a grounder, and Houston pushed across an unearned run later in the inning to tie the score 2-2. Bench’s two-run single in the first temporarily gave the Reds a lead, and with his team leading 3-2 in the eighth, he singled to send Conception home from second base with an insurance run.

ARCO Oil and Gas Company Division of AtlanticRichfieldCompany An equal opportunity employer Oakland stops Texas 5-2 United Press International ARLINGTON — If they could rig it the Oakland A’s would prob ably love to face the Texas Rangers in the first round of baseball’s marathon post-season playoffs. But to do that the A’s would probably have to lose a few games to the Rangers while the regular season is still going on and that seems to be next to impossible. Oakland handled Texas with dispatch Monday night, jumping on the staggering Rangers for four early runs and relying on another steady performance from Rick Langford to come away with a 5-2 decision. The game had a certain drab tint, which even Oakland manager Billy Martin had to admit. “Yeah,” he said, “it was dull, but it was a nice kind of dull. Texas had a chance to come back, but Rick shut them down and he pitched good after that.” “It’s good when you get some early runs behind you, ” said Lang ford, who evened his record at 9- 9. “That way you can keep them from getting momentum.” On a staff that makes a habit of staying around to the finish, Lang ford has stayed around longer than anybody this year. He went the distance for the 15th time Monday night, a total that leads the league, and had only one shaky inning in surrendering seven hits, walking one and striking out one. Langford’s one lapse came in the second when Texas got its only two runs on consecutive singles by Buddy Bell, Pat Putnam and Jim Sundberg along with an RBI ground out from Tom Poquette. Only four other Rangers reached base the rest of the night. Cliffjohnson figured prominen tly in the early Oakland heroics, doubling in the first and scoring the A’s initial run on a single by Tony Armas. Then, in the second, Texas loser Doc Medich, now 8-5, walked the first two men he faced and delivered a run-scoring single to Dave McKay. After a two-out intentional walk to load the bases Medich faced Johnson again and the A’s desig nated hitter blooped a single to center that scored two runs and gave Oakland a 4-0 lead. The other Oakland run came in the sixth on a homer by Wayne Gross, his ninth of the season. Oakland climbed back to the .500 mark for the second portion of the season while the Rangers and their weak bats dropped four games below the break even mark. Cowboy center Shaw on doubtful list for game United Press International DALLAS — Dallas Cowboys center Robert Shaw has been placed on the doubtful list with a strained knee, meaning the club will likely have to undergo another round of changes in the offensive line when it meets New England next Monday night.

The club, however, cannot attempt to make that move until four weeks deep in the season. £AST€RN ONION SINGING TELEGRAMS Select from more than 95 Original, Professional, Funny Musical Performances & Unique Gifts For All Occasions * Bellygram ► Cake * Clown Onion ► Fairy Onion * Macho Man ► Mae East Offices Coast to Coast 10-5 p.m. Call 6 Days 693-7799 College Station 707 S.

NAVY OFFICERS GET RESPONSIBILITY FAST. ■4 September 15, 1981 TO THE FACULTY Dear Colleagues, On Monday, May 4, 1981 a brief questionnaire was sent to all members of the Texas A&M University Faculty. It asked for a response to two statements. They were as follows: Please check one: I am interested in increasing the faculty’s role at Texas A&M,- and I support the investigation into the methods by which that goal may be achieved. I am not interested in increasing the faculty’s role at Texas A&M, and I do not support the investigation into the methods by which that goal may be achieved. Optional: Name Rank College The responses to these questions produced the following results. 1) Number of responses - 594 2) Yes 538 (91%) 3) No 40 ( 8%) 4) Undecided 7 The positive responses were spread fairly evenly throughout the ten colleges of the University. The number of positive (yes) responses in the ten colleges was as follows: Agriculture Architecture Business Education Engineering 78 of 92= 19 of 20= 19 of 21 = 30 of 31 = 67 of 81 = 85% 95% ' 90% 97% 83% Geo.

Medicine 31 of 32 = 95 of 97 = 62 of 64 = 25 of 25 = 34 of 38 = 97% 98% 97% 100% 89% The faculty whose names are listed below prepared the questionnaire in response to the suggestions and concerns of a considerably larger number of faculty who have expressed a long-standing interest in enhancing the role of the faculty in university governance at Texas A&M. Because of the very affirmative response to the questionnaire, we now seek advice on how to proceed further. We also encourage all interested members of the faculty to join with us in this important endeavor, by contacting one or more of the signatories listed below. To encourage the participation of the faculty at large, we are calling a meeting of all interested faculty on October 15, at 4 p.m. in Rudder Theater. Signatures on the original questionnaire: R. W.
