Tuesday, January 31, 1984/The Battalion/Page 3 Dorm spaces available N , A By PATTI ALSMEYER Reporter There are 280 residence hall paces open to women this pring due to increased room cancellations and a residence hall change. The housing office will accept any women who decides to move on campus. Housing su pervisor Tom Murray said. The rent is being pro-rated daily, and spaces are available in all women’s residence halls, he said. Murray said that because the housing office underestimated the number of cancellations and decided to change Spence Hall back to a women’s residence hall, the spaces became avail able. Spence Hall was a women’s dormitory until spring 1982. It was converted in fall 1982 to a men’s residence hall to help house the increasing number of Corps of Cadets members as well as civilian men. Corps mem bership has dropped since 1982, so the housing office decided last fall to change the residence hall back to a women’s dormi tory, effective this spring. Murray said about 80 cancel lations that the housing office didn’t plan for also account for the empty spaces. Another reason for the empty spaces, Murray said, was that a lot of women who wanted on- campus housing could not break apartment leases and could not move on campus. Murray said that women wanting to move on campus should understand that in order to be insured on-campus hous ing in the fall, they must move into a residence hall by March 1. Any women interested in on- campus housing should go by the housing office in 101 YMCA Building or call 845-4744. Kubiak holds conference Candidate cites issues By BRIGID BROCKMAN Stall Writer Former Stale Rep. Dan Kubiak told a group of suppor ters here Monday that the main issues in the 6th Congressional District race are experience and qualifications. “I am the only candidate with 14 consecutive years of public service as an elected representa tive of the people of Central Texas who has experience in education, agriculture, energy and business,” Kubiak said at the dedication and open house of his campaign headquarters. He said his campaign will , , on four main issues — 1 tneopp education, agriculture, health iident of hen mi 5 UR ‘Howdoi i?” tsk.” 1 guess n g a P" o what's job?" roviding io. 1.” ve are, stn J we hart interests e fouro! costs and the economic develop ment of the district. He said he is opposed to the dismantling of the Federal De partment of Education because “what we invest in education to day will serve us in the future.” Another main target will be the “skyrocketing” medical costs, he said, which affect not only those who experience them, but also the federal budget. He said business and agricul ture need to be stimulated be er somes cause they each complement the ivoid blot other, and he also said the dis trict needs someone who can ich, Ron: Callmei understand the needs of the urban and rural people. In agriculture, Kubiak prop osed to adopt a “farmers prog ram” instead of just a farm prog- nun because of the need to res tore profitability to family farms and ranches. In business, Kubiak said a main priority should that of attracting more industries to the Bryan and College Station in dustrial parks. He said the area has the labor supply and the housing to attract industries. Kubiak noted that several of his previous rivals in the Demo cratic Primary have withdrawn from the race and chosen to sup port him. Polls show that Kubiak boasts a 75 percent name identi fication in the district. Prior to running for Con gress, Kubiak served for 14 years as a Texas legislator. He was chairman of the house edu cation and house agriculture committees and vice chairman of the appropriations com mittee. He was also recognized by Texas Monthly as one of the “ten best legislators,” and cited as “the best educated education chairman in modern times. ird.

Evans Lib rary will be conducting tours for the public through Friday. Joe Jaros, assistant instruc tional services librarian, says the tours are given at the beginning of every semester to acquaint us ers with the library. Although the tours are open to everyone, they especially benefit under graduate students who are un familiar with the library’s ser vices, Jaros says. Each tour will accommodate 25 to 30 people, but advance registration is required. The 45- minute tour will include expla nations of the card catalog, the index catalog, the microtext facilities, the current periodicals room and the reserve reading room. Members of the library facul ty will guide the tours. Anyone wanting a tour can sign up across from the reference desk on the first floor of the library. The tours will begin at 9 a.m., 11 a.m., and 1 p.m. on Monday and Wednesday; 9:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday; and 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Fri day. No afternoon tours will be given on Friday. Special purpose tours will be conducted later during the semester, Jaros says, but the general tours are only at the be ginning of each semester.

Reagan directed the Na tional Aeronautics and Space administration to build the station within the next ten years. Dr. David Norton, assistant director of TEES, says he be lieves Texas A&M has a good chance to become involved in the research for the project. TEES, the engineering and technology research agency of the Texas A&M University System, lately has been gear ing itself toward space-related activities. Norton says that this is the kind of opportunity that makes all of their past plan ning worthwhile. “Now we have a specific activity to focus on,” Norton says, “We expected something like this to happen very soon, so our planning has paid off.” Norton says he expects that TEES will double its efforts now that the group has a real chance to become involved with a major space project. “I’m happy that we started nine months ago,” Norton says, “It shows that we want to be recognized as leaders in this field.” Norton hopes that Texas A&M can develop fine re search programs that could be submitted to NASA as they re late to the specific missions to the space lab. For example, although they won’t actually build the space station, space structures will be at the forefront of their re search, Norton says. Norton also hopes that peo- ple involved with the space station project will receive their basic education from Texas A&M before moving on to work for NASA. “We want to be recognized as a teaching aspect in the fu ture space missions,” Norton stresses. Norton says that NASA has not officially contacted the TEES agency, but he hopes it will only be a matter of time before they do. President Reagan is trying to keep the United States in the technological lead, Nor ton says, by creating this kind of a space project. 1981 PULITZER PRIZE N.Y.
