Dorm spaces available

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

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.

The Sterling C. 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.

Space station development
could take place at A&M
By TRAVIS TINGLE
Reporter
An official of the Texas En
gineering Experiment Station
is hopeful that Texas A&M
will play an important part in
the development of the per
manent manned space station
which President Ronald
Reagan called for during his
State of the Union Address
last week.
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.
