RHA
Emergency campus phones proposed
by Wanda Winkler
Battalion Staff
The Residence Hall Associa
tion voted Tuesday night to re
commend that the Department
of Student Affairs install free
emergency telephones in five
on-campus areas near dormi
tories.
The proposal, presented by
the RHA external affairs com
mittee, was designed to help
prevent crime and violence on
campus and to provide a com
munication system for resi
dences of dorms that use a secur
ity locking system. The commit
tee suggested that the project be
completed by Jan. 16, 1984.
The committee also recom
mended spreading out the five
areas so every residence hall
could have close access to a tele
phone. RHA members tried to
choose areas that already were
wired for telephone service.
Recommended areas for tele
phones are: Hobby-Neeley
halls, Legett Hall-Harrington
Tower lounge, A-l lounge,
Underwood Hall-Corps lounge
C, and Corps lounge F. These
areas are near dormitories that
use a security locking system.
Ron Sasse, associate director of
student affairs, said his depart
ment considered putting tele
phones in last spring, but first
wanted to get some suggestions
from RHA for carrying out the
project.
“We (the department) wanted
to find out what they (RHA)
wanted and where,” he said.
‘‘We’ll pay whatever it costs.
We’re going to put them (the
phones) in and see how it goes.”
In other action, Karen Bloch,
director of RHA programs com
mittee, provided information
about RHAlloween, to be held
Oct. 31. Planned activities for
the event will include costume
contests, trick-or-treating and a
street dance.
The costume contests will be
held during supper time at Sbisa
and the Commons dining halls.
Prizes will be given for the best
costume at each dining hall.
Men will trick-or-treat from 7
to 8 p.m. in female dormitories
and women will trick-or-treat
from 8 to 9 p.m. in male dormi
tories.
The RHAlloween street
dance will take place from 9 p.m.
to midnight, but a location has
not yet been chosen.
In other business, RHA com
mittee directors provided up
dated information on commit
tee progress and upcoming acti
vities. Their committees in
clude: programs, casino, exter
nal affairs, public relations, and
facilities and operations. Each
RHA delegate is a member of at
least one committee.

Chance to attend Oxford
Rhodes nominee chosen ffj.
by Karen Wallace
Battalion Staff
Ira Todorovic, executive
vice president for MSG Great
Issues, said Tuesday he was
surprised he was chosen as
Texas A&M’s nominee for the
Rhodes Scholarship.
Todorovick, a 20-year-old
political science senior, was
selected about two weeks ago
from 18 applicants for the
scholarship, which pays all
fees and tuition at the Univer
sity of Oxford in England.
“I think people who hold
higher leadership positions
applied, but I guess it just
didn’t fall through for them,”
he said.
After submitting applica
tions, six of the 18 applicants
were chosen for interviews,
which were conducted by
three Texas A&M professors.
“It was something I’ve nev
er experienced in my life be
fore,” he said.
Todorovick said the inter
views were on a very intellec
tual basis. Instead of asking
why he wanted the scholar
ship or what his family was
like, the professors asked
questions such as: ‘Who con
trolled Israel before World
War I? What is your position
on the CIA’s involvement with
El Salvador?’
“They were trying to pin
point what you believed in and
what you stood for,” he said.
“They didn’t want someone
who was on toj!®bf one area,
and vacant in another. They
were looking for a person who
had a little bit of everything,”
And Todorovick has more
than just a little to offer.
For one thing, he speaks
three languages, besides En
glish.
“I speak Serbo-Croation
because my parents immi
grated from Yugoslavia and
that’s the language they speak
there, I speak French because
I picked it up at A&M and I
speak Spanish because I lived
th
in South America for eight
years,” he said.
Todorovick said when he
was a child, his family lived in
South America because his
father, who worked for the
Texas A&M veterinary scien
ce department, moved there
to conduct research.
Living in South America
helped provide Todorovick
with what he called ‘outlook.’
“When you go to these
countries that our (the United
States) foreign policy is affect
ing, you see the other side of
the coin,” he said. “You know
what we are really doing, and
what the real result is of what
we’re doing, and not just what
the American government
says we’re doing,” Todorovick
said.
Todorovick said if he is
chosen as one of the 32 reci
pients of the scholarship, he
will pursue international rela
tions.
Todorovick pursued his in
terest in international affairs
