Jopling was a resident of Mcinnis who died working on the 1981 Aggie Bonfire. Residents of Mcinnis Hall collected money and had the plaque made, not knowing that all such memorials had to be approved by the University president and in some cases, by the Texas A&M University Sys tem Board of Regents. The plaque has been approved by Dr. Carolyn Adair, director of student activities. The plaque is now under con sideration by John Koldus, vice president for student services. If his office approves the plaque, the plaque will have to be consi dered by President Frank Van- I diver. New dorm presidents and de legates were introduced and fin al plans for the group’s banquet were discussed. The banquet will be at 7 p.m. April 29 in 226 MSC. Tickets are $5. Stacy Graf, RHA president elect for 1982-83, announced the selection of the new dire ctors: Janie Koester, director of facilities and operations; Claire Mommessin, director of exter nal affairs; Gaye Denley, dire ctor of programs; and Diane Fletcher, national communica tions coordinator. The selection of the directors of public relations and Casino were delayed. Director of Casino Richard Myers said Casino ’82 took in more than $11,000 and said RHA could expect to net more than $7,000. “We had an excellent commit tee to work with,” Myers said. “I couldn’t be more pleased with the way things worked out. Casi no went of f v\ ii bout any hitches, and any small problems we had were solved as they came up.” Balloon flight to be powered by sun United Press International NEW YORK— The British team that flew a solar-powered balloon across the English Chan nel in 198 1 will attempt to fly the craft a distance of about 20 miles from Santa Catalina Island across the Pacific Ocean to the U.S. coast just south of Los Angeles in June. Donald Cameron, designer of the balloon, said the “double envelope” design used to ac quire the sun’s heat makes this balloon different from other hot-air balloons. A black Dacron inner bag captures the sun’s heat, surrounded by a clear plas tic outer envelope which holds the heat. Crossing the Channel, about 25 miles, the air inside the bal loon reached temperatures as much as 80 degrees F hotter than the outside air, achieving an altitude of 3,000 feet. oncert to be held y Women’s Chorus by Betty Ann Reid unately, h as this,alibi lappenedij lined, shuull ii ir w .
