Groundhog predicts
near end to winter
United Press International
PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. —
Spring is just around the corner,
if you believe Punxsutawney
Phil, the groundhog who
emerges from his winter hicl-
away on Feb. 2 to become the
nation’s premier weather sooth
sayer.
Phil emerged at 7:29 a.m.
Wednesday and, to the cheers
and applause of a few hundred
people, did not see his shadow
— meaning there are less than
six weeks left in winter.
It was onlv about the fifth
time in 30 years that the feat less
furry weather forecaster pre
dicted an earlv end to winter —
and members of the Punxsutaw
ney Groundhog Club say he's
never wrong.
Phil’s prediction this year was
delivered to onlookers in a
downpour. Mam of the specta
tors began arriving as early as
2:30 a.m. lo gel the word on
winter.
For the past 96 years, accord
ing to legend. Phil has peeked
from his snug burrow on
Groundhog Day to tell top-
hatted club members wlm
winter’s end is at hand.

BEEN DOING
FOR YOU?
LEGISLATIVE
STUDY GROUP
TRADITIONS COUNCIL - COSGA -
CONTINUING PROGRAMS PLANNING -
During the Fall semester of 1982 the
Legislative Study Group began working
with the Former Students Association on
various issues being considered by the
Texas Legislature that concern Texas
A&M. A bus filled with 50 A&M students
and sponsored by former students was
sent to Austin Nov. 2 to attend post
election receptions held by various candi
dates. A mailout was sent to 450 students
over the Christmas holidays in an effort to
acquire more student input into the Study
Group. Several bills will be submitted to
the Student Senate for consideration re
garding the Permanent University Fund
during the month of February.
The Traditions Council worked in the Fall
semester to coordinate activities in support
of Bonfire. They also sponsored Ladies
Choice during the TCU football game
weekend. “Howdy” T-shirts will be on sale
February 14 through 18 in the MSC to
kickoff the Big Event, RHA Traditions work
and to give a big “Howdy” to SCONA
visitors.
The Conference on Student Government
Associations will be held Feb. 6, 7, and 8
at Texas A&M. To promote attendance at
the conference a number of committee
members drove through a large area of the
Southern U.S. to meet with student lead
ers at various universities. They are in the
process of compiling folders, goodie bags,
and brochures for the conference.
The various committees have been work
ing throughout the past semester planning
two of Student Government’s biggest pro
grams: Muster and Parents’ Day. Parents’
Weekend will be held April 15, 16, and 17,
with Muster following on April 21. The
Spring Blood Drive will be held March 28
through 30.
Most of the Committee’s work has
with the ever-present traffic and parking
problems on campus. Two students have
been appointed to a subcommittee, the
Master Plan Committee, which deals
traffic flow. A consulting firm hired to 8
traffic and parking problems on campus
will submit their report in April. The
ning Committee followed up on the Senate
Bill passed during the Spring of 1982
deals with the proposed widening of the
sidewalk leading to the A&A building. Or
Koldus has expressed confidence that the
work will be done as soon as the bestwa)
to do it has been determined. The commit
tee has also been working on several pro
posals dealing with bicycle traffic on
campus.
COMMUNICATIONS - CRIME AWARENESS -
The Communications Committee kept
themselves busy with the placement of
Battalion ads and publicity for various Stu
dent Government activities during the Fall.
During the Spring they will develop news
letters to be placed in the Battalion, com
plete a handbook on important phone
numbers for Student Government, and
work closely with Bryan and College Sta
tion media.
Judy Marcotte will be taking over the
Crime Awareness Department for the
Spring Semester and will begin attending
University-wide meetings for Crime
Awareness. She will also be talking with
residents of the Commons regarding the
various assault incidents in that area, and
will introduce the possibility of more light
ing around female dorm areas and locks
on girls dorms to the Student Senate. In
addition, her committee will be working
with RHA on their Crime Prevention week,
will attempt to set up a “Parking lot Detail”
for students (University and Corps) who
are “sitting weekends”.

Jack Cherry will be working on developing
a comprehensive guide to the various uni

into the possibility of limiting student mem
bership on University Committees to two
memberships per student.
