ouncil approves placement
PERFECT
TIMING
By NANCY WEATHERLEY
Battalion Staff
MSC Council members Thurs-
or I yapproved the placement of the
bident’s Association plaque on
south wall of the main lounge,
not the north wall as originally
aposed.
Council members debated at
;th the current proliferation of
iques in the main lounge, such
the President Endowed Scho-
5 plaques; the large size of the
(bot-3-inch-by-15-foot-3-inch
que, which could take away the
living room atmosphere of the
main lounge; and the lack of an
over-all plan allowing for the addi
tion of more plaques.
Council President Doug Dede-
ker said a spokesman for the De
velopment Office, which is com
missioning the $30,000 plaque,
came to the Building Studies
Committee meeting to determine
the students’ reaction to the
plaque.
Technically, the Development
Office is not required to go to the
Council, but could go directly to
the President’s Office, he said.
Some Council members said
they were against putting the pla
que against the north wall because
it would remove from the wall the
china collection donated by Hugo
C. Heldenfels, which members
claimed was conducive to the
lounge atmosphere.
However, Jim Reynolds, dire
ctor of the MSC, asked the Coun
cil if they really thought the
atmosphere, which he said
couldn’t be harmed by anything,
was more important than the
ideals behind the Development
Office’s wish to honor those indi
viduals, corporations and founda
tions of the Presidents Association
that had contributed vast amounts
of money to the University and the
MSC.
Just when you’re looking for an expensive
looking watch that isn't, along comes Ricoh.
Ricoh has a brand new line of elegant quartz
analog watches at affordable prices. And they’re avail
able in dress and sports styles for men and women.
So come in and see for yourself why Ricoh is
the watch to watch for.
Members were also against the
main lounge turning into a “tro
phy room.” But the passed motion
satisfied the members on this
issue because the plaques on the
south wall will have to be re
moved.
jookout, lock up when leaving
Crime could crinkle cheer

hoppers carrying more money
I usual and people leaving
le for the holidays are ex-
to push the College Station
ndenti rate upward during this
istmas season, a city police
:er says.
dost burglaries are committed
veen 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., Lt.
ney Kapella of the College Sta-
Police Department said.
He advises people to keep their
Christmas presents in the closet,
out of burglars’ sight and to take
anything portable of value with
them when leaving home for the
holidays.
“The main thing, of course, is
people should take extra time to
check and double-check to see
that they lock their house when
they leave,” Kapella advised. “A
good security system consisting of
dead bolt locks and timers for the
lights is always a good invest
ment.”
Putting timers on lights, and
leaving a radio on gives the
appearance of someone being
home. Strong locks that can keep a
burglar out for only a few minutes
will also deter burglars.
“Another safety tip, especially
for students, is to ask those stu
dents who stay on campus during
the holidays to watch their apart
ments while they are gone,” the
Jroup rides for holidays
reated for cycling safety
idinghome on a motorcyle for
holidays can be both danger-
iland boring, but a Texas A&M
Sorcycle club can make the trip
Cfe fe^ and more enjoyable.
|The club is taking names,
e numbers and home town
gs of all interested motorcyl-
Jso that riders from the same
can travel together on the
Club member Rolf Butter said
the list will be posted in the
Memorial Student Center near
the Hitching Post, a board where
students sign up to share rides in
cars.
“The main reason we are doing
this is because it is very boring to
travel a long distance by yourself, ”
Butter said. “Also, with the traffic
so busy over the holidays, motor
cycles can be recognized easier in
groups instead of by themselves. "
Even though the Highway
Companion Program was created
for the Christmas holidays, the
service is planned to be extended
throughout the year for anyone in
terested in traveling on weekends
or other school holidays.
All interested students can call
Butter at 696-1731.

officer said.
In spite of the expected in
crease in burglary attempts,
police protection will not be in
creased in College Station.
“We are not putting out any
extra police officers, but we are
trying to inform the public and
local businesses about ways to pro
tect themselves, ” Kapella said. “If
people just learn to eliminate the
opportunity, crime will be elimin
ated. ”
