[Final exam exemption
remains up for debate
By MICHELLE POWE
Senior siati writer
The debate over whether
raduating seniors should be
•equired to take final exaini-
w uons probably will not be
esolved for at least another
wo or three months, when
’resident Frank E. Vandiver
flakes the final decision on
;he issue.
The Faculty Senate last
uonth voted 57-11, in favor of
i resolution which would re-
juire graduating seniors to
ake finals. I f it passes through
all other channels, the Sen-
lie’s resolution will be prop
ped to Vandiver for final
approval or denial. The cur-
-ent policy exempts degree
landidates from taking finals.
The finals resolution now is
awaiting review by the Sen-
ue’s Rules and Regulations
Committee. But the commit
tee won’t review it until after
Feb. 15.
The committee annually
sends requests for policy
changes or recommendations
to University administrative
officials, faculty members and
the Student Senate. The dead
line for recommending policy
changes — in writing — to the
committee is Feb. 15.
After that date, the com
mittee will review all the prop-
osals they receive and make
recommendations about
them. The committee then
will send the proposals to the
University vice presidents for
approval before sending them
back to their authors.
Garland Bayliss, chairman
of the Rules and Regulations
Committee, says this proce
dure usually takes 7-10 weeks.
He said in the past the vice
presidents always have
approved the committee’s re
commendations.
After the finals resolution
has been reviewed by the com
mittee and the vice presidents
it will be returned to the Facul
ty Senate for a final vote.
1 f the Senate approves of
the committee's reccomenda-
tions and votes in favor of the
resolution, it will send the
proposal to Vandiver. Van
diver has the final say on the
issue.
But if the Senate does not
approve of the committees re
commendations, then it is not
clear what would happen
next. The Faculty Senate is a
relatively new organization
and the finals resolution is the
first major policy issue it has
acted on.

see the ground, the control tow

Robinson, assistant manager of
Aviation Services for Texas
A&M, said.
Within 12 minutes, McCul
lough said, the weather turned
into IFR conditions — weather
conditions that require a pilot to
fly using the plane’s instru
ments.
Armstrong was not licensed
to fly in IFR conditions.
McCullough said that Arm
strong had become disoriented
Armstrong’s plane, a Cessna
152, hit with a vertical impact.
Robinson said, which means that
it hit perpendicular to the
ground at a high rate of speed.
Investigators said the plane was
full-throttle when it crashed.
McCullough said that Arm
strong, who had been a pilot for
over two years, was a good pilot.
She said that had he known he
was in trouble, he would have
pulled back on the throttle.
Robinson said Armstrong was
killed instantly and that he does
not believe Armstrong had any
chance of surviving the crash.
Graveside services were held
at 4:30 p.m. Sunday at Watter-
son Cemetery near Bastrop. He
will be remembered at Silver
Taps at 10:30 p.m. Feb. 7.

Pearce says she chose to be in
favor of capital punishment be
cause she believes it is necessary.
“I feel it can serve a very good
purpose in the judicial system
when used consistently,” Pearce
says.
However, Muller says that
capital punishment should be
abolished because “no one has
the right to take someone elses
life.” Muller says he has personal
convictions about abolishing
capital punishment.
Wayne Kraemer, a coach for
the debate team, says the topics
for the debates are chosen
according to timeliness and con
troversy at the beginning of the
semester. There are three de
bates a semester. The next two
debates will be held in March
and April.
When the audience walks in it
will be asked to sit on the side of
the room that concurs with its
beliefs. The chairs will face each
other to create a stronger effect
while the pros and cons are dis
cussed.

Woman discusses business
By Mark E. Lish
Reporter
Stressing a need for hard
work and determination on the
part of women in business, Kay
Bailey Hutchison said that the
one word which describes her
career best is perseverence.
Hutchison, a member of the
Texas House of Representatives
from 1972 to 1976, spoke at a
luncheon for the Women’s Busi
ness Career Symposium here
Friday.
Once featured in Glamour
Magazine as one of the ten out
standing working women in
America, Hutchison now is a
member of the Executive
Women of Dallas, the group
which originally proposed the
sew, clean, run all the errands,
car pool and look great. Today
women are expected to cook,
sew, clean, run all the errands,
carpool, volunteer, look great
anti hold down a full-time job.”
Hutchison said that in the last
few years, women have learned
that there are all kinds of options
available to them.
“Women may enter the field
of motherhood or homemaker
proudly, and with protection
and security,” she said, “or they
may pursue a career outside the
home in view that with hard
work and sacrifice they can suc
ceed.”
Hutchison, who currently is
an attorney with the Dallas law
firm of Hutchison, Price, Boyle
& Brooks, said the achievements
of women have made them
aware of the tradeoffs that come
with pursuing a career.
