Sell A&M every time you get a chance as well as our democracy and our way of life.” Brown, who was the special guest of Speaker of the Senate Brian Terrell, said he feels the United States has the finest group of young men and women today and that visiting the Texas A&M Student Senate has reinforced his thoughts. During the meeting, senators unanimously passed a recom mendation to widen the side walks leading to the Academic and Agency building to allow for better pedestrian flow. If the proposal is approved by University President Frank E. Vandiver, the sidewalk changes may be made during the Christ mas holidays. The Academic Affairs Com mittee killed a proposal recom mending that advisers and pre registration workers stagger their lunch hours so they would be available to register students during the noon hour. The decision to kill the bill was made after committee mem bers called the deans of the academic colleges and found most of the colleges are too understaffed to stagger lunch hours. The Student Services Com mittee recommended that a committee be formed to re search the bicycle situation on campus because of frequent bi cycle accidents and pedestrian- bicyclist disagreements. The committee will be formed to aid the Texas A&M traffic panel which studies Uni versity traffic situations. The panel is currently conducting a feasibility study on parking and traffic flow and has requested student input through the Stu dent Government. Also during the meeting, the Speaker of the Senate declared the following seats vacant: Col lege of Liberal Arts graduate representative, Walton/Mcln- nis/Schuhmacher/Hotard rep resentative and the off-campus Ward II representative. Sena tors voted to accept applications for the vacancies Jan. 27 through Feb. 4. In addition, engineering at- large Senator Chip Heath was named Senator of the Month for his outstanding work with Stu dent Government and the appointment of Lain Ellis as the College of Liberal Arts senior representative was approved. charged a 25 cent fee for a $30 month-long loan.” Services now offered by the financial aid office will continue, including long-term and short term loans, Pell grants and insti tutional and outside scholar ships. After the financial aid office has relocated, the Student Counseling Service will move from the YMCA basement to the third floor. “I hesitate to guess just when we will move,” said Wade Birch, director of Student Counseling Services. “Hopefully it will be before the end of the spring semester.” Birch said the move should clear up some organizational problems. “Presently, the personal counseling is in the YMCA base ment, but the academic counsel ing is in the academic building,” Birch said. “This creates a com munication problem.” When the move has been completed, both counseling ser vices will be able to function from the same organizational system, Birch said. Also, the two part-time consulting psychiat rists may be more conveniently and efficiently utilized by both counseling services. paus/c rxpRess st WEA Wrap It up!
