said.
The demand for tutors seems
to increase before and after
mid-terms and before finals,
she said.

UT, A&M reps meet
to clear traditions role
kV\/ Energy Center helps
with hints on home heating
By LISA SURMAN
Battalion Reporter
Officials and student represen
tatives of Texas A&M University
and the University of Texas will
meet at 10 a. m. Wednesday to dis
cuss the procedures for the uni
versities Nov. 26 football game.
Members of the UT Rally
Advisory Committee will be
meeting with University officials
and student representatives to
discuss the policies and proce
dures to be followed before, dur
ing and after the game, Ron
Blatchley, director of student
affairs, said.
Blatchley said all Kyle Field
traditions will he discussed, in
cluding the tradition that allows
only officials, band members and
football players on the field. “We
want to make sure everyone is
hearing the same information, he
said.
The two schools have partici
pated in this ty pe of pre-game dis
cussion since their 1977 game, he
said.
“We chose to do this with UT as
a mutual agreement after the inci
dent with the Texas flag in 1977,
Blatchley said.
He said the Texas A&M athletic
department gave UT students
permission to take the flag on the
field after the Texas A&M Student
Government denied the stu
dents request.
“It was embarrassing to say the
least that we hadn t communi
cated on our own campus — let
alone to UT, Blatchley said.

— Check for air leaks. Win

ka'to begin, Imt obscure places
itlus wall outlets, switch plates
iiilattic doors can also admit un-

Check heating equipment,

Change filters. Once your
furnace is operating, cliange filters
once a month to ensure most effi
cient operation.
— Provide proper attic ventila
tion. Proper attic ventilation
allows moisture control in the attic
where it is important to keep in
sulation dry. Blocking or closing
off turbine v entilators with plastic
bags or other devices is not a good
practice since it hinders attic ven
tilation and moisture control.
— Lower thermostat settings.
Thermostat settings should be lo
wered to at least 68 degrees dur
ing the day and further lowered at
night before you go to bed for sub
stantially' lower heating hills.
If you have a fireplace, you
should consider these mainte

Caperton given award
for support of Texas parks
enem efficient home?!
The Texas Recreation and Park
Society has honored Sen. Kent
Caperton, B-Bryan, as the first re
cipient of its Legislative Award.
This award acknowledges a
single legislator who has demons
trated unique .and significant sup
port for the park, recreation and
leisure service movement in
Texas.
In a press release describing
the honor of his award, Caperton
said: "It signifies my feeling that
Texas parks and recreation areas
arc among the state’s most valu
able assets and must he pro
tected.”
During the 67th Session of the
Texas Legislature, legislation was
proposed that would have di
verted funds from the Urban Park
Fund to a single proposed
museum.
Caperton recalled: “There was
an option available that allowed us
to maintain the integrity of the
Urban Park Fund, and I was espe
cially pleased to assist in that
effort.

“If we re told not to, I d like to
think that the squads mature
enough to follow the home team s
traditions,” Runte said. “It’s hard
for us to understand because our
traditions are a different kind from
A&M s.”
She said Kyle Field is the only
field where the cheerleaders can’t
perform their gymnastics on the
field.
“Tumbling is a big part of our
routine, Runte said. “After every
touchdovyn, interception or big
play, we usually run on the field to
do our aerobatics. ”
The cheerleader said she thinks
the Texas A&M tradition isn’t fair.

— Consider installing a glass
screen if you have an open mason
ry fireplace. Louvers at the bot
tom restrict the amount of air a fire
consumes and can be closed when
the fire burns down. This cuts the
loss of warmed air up the flue.
— If your fireplace damper
opening can be adjusted from out
side the fireplace, try closing the
damper part way. This reduces
the draft and the amount of
warmed air drawn up the chimney
from other parts of the house.
— Close the damper when the
fire is out. If the damper is left
open, your furnace may consume
10 percent to 30 percent more fuel
than it does normally.
