Old business will dominate
the last Senate meeting of the
semester at 7:30 tonight in 204
Harrington.
Two bills that will be reintro
duced at the meeting will be the
Anderson-Southwest Parkway
Stoplight Bill and Legislative
Study Group Research Action
Bill. Bills must be read twice at
Senate meetings before being
passed.
At the last Senate meeting,
the stoplight bill was passed to
the External Affairs Committee
for study. Tonight the Senate
will vote on the committee’s re-
comendation.
The bill proposes a traffic
study at the intersection of
Anderson and Southwest Park
way. Two stop signs on Ander
son and the heavy flow of traffic
on Southwest Parkway cause
traffic to back up on Anderson.

out on the busy street also adds
to the problem. The intersection
is near several apartment com
plexes where students live.
The committee will rec-
comend that a traffic light be
placed at the intersection. If pas
sed by the Senate, the recomen-
dation will be given to the Col
lege Station City Council.
The Legislative Study Group
bill, if passed, would assign new
research topics for the LSG. All
topics of the LSG, a part of the
Student Government to re
search, must be approved by the
Senate.
In other old business, a new
vice president for student ser
vices will be elected. Marc
Holubec, who previously held
the position, resigned before the
last Senate meeting two weeks
ago.

An experimental teaching
program was started this year
for College Station high school
students who can’t cope with the
pressures and responsibilities of
a high school atmosphere.
The Alternative Program be
came a reality this year because
of a five-year grant from the
Texas Department of Criminal
Justice. As the first of its type in
the district, the program will be
evaluated for renewal each year
by the College Station school
board.
Director Jack Hartsfield says
the program is aimed at provid
ing a personal and individual
approach to each student’s

problems. Students work at
their own pace with no set classes
or lectures, he said, and they
don’t have to keep up with a
schedule.
“It’s up to the student,” he
said. “If tney want to work on
just English for three or four
weeks, or if they want to do each
class one at a time throughout
the year, that’s fine.”
Courses offered through the
program are the basic high
school core curriculum classes
such as English and math.
“A regular high school atmos
phere is very inflexible,” he said.
“With that pressure off of them,
these students have responded
and are enjoying their school
work for a change.”
Hartsfield said the students
are recommended for the prog
ram through a referral system.
The final decision is made by
counselors and a committee of
teachers, he said.
Hartsfield said the main stu
dents referred are those who
have discipline problems, who
are mentally capable but aren’t
motivated to work or who, for
some reason, have missed a
great deal of school.
“We really want to get the stu
dent who is thinking about
