Although local temperatures
Have been relatively mild this fall,
I, ool weather will eventually drive
' nany swimmers indoors.
'i; Texas A&M’s indoor and out-
toor pools, along with College
station’s Thomas Park Swimming
’ool, are open for people who
vant to swim when the air is chilly
)utside — all pools are heated.
The outdoor Wofford Cain Pool
s open to the public Monday
Ihrough Friday from noon to 1:30
>.m.
' The indoor pool, in the P.L.
Oowns Natatorium, is open to the
bublic seven days a week, from 6
b.m. to 7 p.m. Monday and

pass is $85.
The Thomas Park Pool, run by
the College Station Parks and Re
creation Department, is three
blocks behind the College Station
City Hall. The pool is covered and
heated.
“The cover is like a light canvas
that is held up by air blown into
it,” Cindy Szabuniewicz, pool
manager, said. “Kind of the same
principle balloons use.” The air
can be heated if it gets cold
enough, she added.
It is open to the public on week
days from 8 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., 1
p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. to

under 12. An adult discount pass,
good for 15 swims, costs $7.50.
Monthly passes cost $30, and are
good for the entire family. A pass
for the entire year, which is also
good for the entire family, is $150.
Fair to sell affordable Christmas gifts
The MSC Hospitality Commit

Schroeder said most of the gifts
are priced under $30. And there
will be free gift wrapping as well as
10 door prizes to be given out dur
ing the day.
She said they expect a good

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.
