OCA plans to do the two-step into a winter wonderland By BARBIE WOELFEL Battalion Staff Off-Campus Aggies will be dancing to music from “Texas Nuggets” in a “winter wonder land” atmosphere at its Dec. 4 semi-formal Christmas dance at the Lulac Hall in Bryan. “OCA would like to give off- campus students, especially fresh men and sophomores, a chance to attend a semi-formal dance just as on-campus students do,” Paul Bettencourt, OCA president, said Monday night at the organiza tion’s bi-weekly meeting. Besides the country and west ern band, “Texas Nuggets,” an OCA member, Ski Hubbard, will provide warmup music and a sound system with all types of music being played during band breaks, Linda Thomas, co- chairman of the semi-formal dance committee, said. Tickets for the dance will be on sale in the MSC Box Office for $8 per couple from now through Dec. 4 and will be available at tables in the MSC Dec. 1 and 2, Thomas said. Pat Pearson, student senator from Ward II, requested that OCA support the Student Sen ate’s Voter’s Right Bill, which proposes the establishment of six voting locations to ensure that off- campus students have equal ac cess to voting locations in Student Government elections. “Previous polls were located ex clusively in on-campus living areas,” Pearson said. “Off-campus students should have the right to vote at their convienence, he said. OCA voted to support the bill, which proposes establishing man datory voting sites at the front of the Academic and Agency Build ing, the main entrance of the Zachry Engineering Center, the front of the Kleberg Building, in front of the main entrance of the Sterling C. Evans Library, inside the MSC in front of the main lounge and in front of the Harring ton Classroom Center. The bill also proposes that any addition to these six polling places that are located in living areas (on- campus/off-campus) shall have to be matched with the same num ber of locations in the alternative living areas. “Voting locations have been established by the election com mittee in the past requiring a minimum of six or a maximum of nine voting sites,” Pearson said. “Last semester, there wasn’t one voting location off-campus.” The Voter Right’s Bill will be proposed to the Sentate Dec. 2, Pearson said. “One way off-campus students can show support for the proposed bill is to go to the Student Prog rams Office in the MSC, find out who their off-campus senator is and leave a note in their box giving some input — whether it be ques tions, policy formation ideas just a note of support,” Peats said. In a financial report, 0( treasurer, John Barrera, saidll the association’s Nov. 14 ste dance brought in $1,300, althoa it was not planned to he a mote making project. : “Since local merchants bad out of providing beer for thestn dance, OCA made a profit fa selling beer itself,” Barrera. Other activities discussed: eluded spring committees suet Aggie Blood Drive, All NileF and a spring street dance.
