If there is a runoff in the election, students who regis tered during the drive will be eligible to vote. Students w'ho register during next week’s drive also will be able to vote in the city elections on April 2, which will involve issues such as road conditions, maintenance and city council elections. “These issues really affect the students, especially those off- campus, and they need to be bet ter represented,” said Mike Wolff, vice-president for the ex ternal affairs. “Now they do not really have a voice because not many students are registered,” he said. If a student is registered to vote in his hometown he can re gister to vote in College Station. This will not cause the loss of E ermanent residency in the ometown. When registering, identifica tion must be shown and both a residence and a mailing address must be listed on the registration form.

The main entrance to the new |ffices will be on the side of the registration center that faces the Agriculture Building. At the top if the stairs will be an informa- ■lon desk. Southerland said the major reason lor the need to move was |he lack of work space. Souther- pad said. I he old office was in le same location and had the TOie amount of space as when it was dealing with only 12,GOO ... indents, he said. teie w! "Bjihe move could have been pa’ kia § I P ia °fl a few more weeks, South- oeverisinflerland said, but with office space jse somegoWuch a premium on the Texas itial wreckoi &M campus the office needed to be moved as soon as possible. After financial aid vacates its old offices, the third floor of the YMCA Building will be com pletely remodeled. The Student Counseling Service hopes to move in by late spring, Dr. Wade Birch, director, said. The move will allow the counseling service to consolidate its offices under one roof, he said. Presently his staff is split between basement offices in the YMCA Building and first floor Academic Build ing offices. Birch said that both the re modeling and moving plans for his offices are still in the plan ning stages. The Department of Student Activities also is planning a move, and an extension of its offices. Donnie Albrecht, assistant di rector of the student activities department, said that the four full-time staff members and their secretaries will move to the second floor of the registration center in late spring. Offices of some of the larger student organizations also will be relocated at the center, he said. Those included are Stu dent Government, Off-Campus Aggies, Student Y Association and the Residence Hall Associa tion, he said. Other student organizations, including those run by the Memorial Student Center, will remain in the MSC, Space also is available at the new location for about 20 cubi cles, and applications still are being taken for these, Albrecht said. Cubicles, small areas with partitions and desks, serve as offices for student organiza tions. service cuts Battalion delivery ^ by Pamela Haisler » Vf. i Reporter S . j 11 delivery of the Battalion e) [ as University facul- SE ^ J , ar| d stall members has been 1 feduced from 1,500 to 160 "Opres, the manager of the Uni- versuy Mail Service said. . • .J5 )hn Stanislaw, manager, Lt T ever ’. tklat despite cut- ■ s > the mail service will con- r,J le to deliver complimentary p'es of 1 he Battalion to vice Psidetits. deans, directors and r «7? i einbe r s on west campus, nm . mad service is simply ack on a service that was S n b l , Shed 15 to 20 years ago,” said. “This is the first to n k mail service has decided !L , on its services.
