Group to sponsor Halloween party
MSC Hospitality is sponsoring a children’s Halloween
party at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 28. The children of all faculty
and staff are encouraged to dress up in their favorite cos
tumes and come enjoy the games and special spook house.
Members of MSC Hospitality will chaperone the party,
which will be held in Rooms 230/231 MSC. The Hospitality
Committee hopes to see you there.
Honor society trying to save grass
Tau Kappa, the junior honor society at Texas A&M, is
sponsoring “Save the Grass Week” through Monday.
The week is designed to increase student awareness of the
campus’ appearance and to encourage students to maintain
its beauty and neatness.
During the week, Tau Kappa asks that all students avoid
using the dirt trails worn through by students taking short
cuts to class. Instead, they ask that Students stay on the
sidewalks. They feel that using the sidewalks rather than the
trails will be a big step to preserve the appearance of the
University for current students, as well as future classes at
Texas A&M.
Bonfire activities to continue
The center pole for the 1982 bonfire will be raised at 5
p.m. Friday at Duncan Field.
Other forthcoming bonfire festivities include the Bonfire
Benefit Barbecue in the Grove following the Rice game and
a sock hop sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega in G. Rollie White
Coliseum from 8 p.m. to midnight Saturday. Tickets for the
barbecue and the sock hop are available in the MSC all this
week. Barbecue tickets are $5 for students and $7.50 for all
others. Sock hop tickets are $2 for singles and $3 for couples.
All proceeds go to bonfire.

Military, civilian uses foreseen
A&M seeks remote vehicle lab
by Michael Raulerson
Battalion Reporter
A laboratory to design and
test pilotless vehicles for use by
both industry and the military
has been proposed and studied
by Texas A&M University re
searchers.
Dr. Howard L. Chevalier, an
aerospace engineering profes
sor who made the proposal for
the laboratory, said the aeros
pace engineering department is
seeking funding for the lab from
the Texas Engineering Experi
ment Station.
A commercial feasibility
study was conducted during the
spring and summer months by
Drs. James U. McNeal and
Richard T. Hise, marketing pro
fessors. The purpose of their
study was to identify possible ap
plications and markets for the
pilotless aircraft.
McNeal and Hise found the
aircraft have both military and
civilian uses. Some of the milit
ary uses include spotting and
photographing enemy targets,
jamming enemy radar and com
munications systems and deliv
ering weapons.
Civilian uses include crop
dusting, seed-planting, fighting
forest fires and scanning high-
Bar-B-Que Ribs
ways for cracks and holes in the
pavement. McNeal said in a re
port that all these uses would be
practical.
The general purpose of the
laboratory will be to promote the
research and development of re
mote-controlled aircraft. De
veloping different configura
tions, retrieval systems, engines
and data links for the craft will
be researched in the laboratory,
McNeal said. Data links are the
method by which commands are
sent from the control unit to the
craft.
McNeal said the remote-
operated vehicle industry is
evolving, encompassing space
vehicles, aircraft, land vehicles
and water craft. He said the four
areas are in various stages of de
velopment.
“There is demand for all four
types of remote-operated craft
that justifies research and de
velopment for each," I [ United Press Inte,

Betsy McCole, Thornberry’s
campaign manager, filed a for
mal complaint with Secretary of
State David Dean, alleging a
series of violations by Hightower
and his campaign staff.
Thornberry’s lawyer, Royal
Masset, said if Hightower fails to
respond to the allegations, he
will file criminal charges on
Friday.

Kristy Ozmun, a spokes
woman for the Hightower cam
paign, said all campaign contri
butions and expenditures “have
been duly reported to the secret
ary of state’s office.”
Thornberry was campaign
ing in east Texas, but he issued a
written statement in Austin.
“What is Mr. Hightower
trying to hide?” he said. “I think
the people of Texas deserve to
know what was going on in the
Hightower camp from May 1
through Aug. 4.”
The complaint filed with
Dean claimed the Hightower
campaign did not file contribu
tion and expenditure reports
for the period of May 1 through
Aug. 4, although he maintained
a campaign during that period.
“I think they thought they
had it won when they l>eat
(Democratic incumbent)
Reagan Brown and they just
went out to lunch,” Masset said.
“It is gross.”
In addition to not filing a
financial report during the
three-month period, the com
plaint also cited other instances
in which the Hightower cam
paign may have violated the
Political Funds Reporting and
Disclosure Act.
The complaint said former
Hightower campaign treasurer
Larry Letscher did not file a re
port within the stipulated time
after his resignation last May,
and that he did not file full re
ports on campaign contribu
tions.
