mer when Bill Wasson resigned,
are Gerald Bratton, James Lus
combe and Robert Stallings.
For Place 6:
• Vernon Files has the ad
vantage of being a retired
school teacher. His main job, he
says, will be to try to see things
through the eyes of area resi
dents.
• Tony Jones has more polit
ical experience than his two
oppenents. He served four
years on the College Station
City Council and one year on
the Planning and Zoning Com-
mision. Jones owns a local con
struction business and says he
has been very influential in
bringing large industry to the
area. He says it will be tax reve
nues that industries, such as
Westinghouse, bring to the area
that will facilitate a teacher pay
raise.
• Jim Raatz, a graphics de
signer in Texas A&M’s Engi
neering Experiment Station, is
one of three University employ
ees seeking office. One of Raatz’
proposals is a call-in radio talk
show to allow board members to
answer questions from citizens.
For Place 7:
• Gerald Bratton, head of
the veterinary anatomy depart
ment at Texas A&M, says his
first priority is to put all matters
of running the schools in the su
perintendent’s hands.
• James Luscombe, vice
president of ARC Automation
Services, has spent five years on
tax boards and says he has the
experience to stand up to tax
payers who will want to fight
against a tax raise to support
teachers’ salaries.
• Robert Stallings, business
manager of the agricultural
economics department at Texas
A&M, says being an accountant
is his main qualification for the
job.

L.D.S. (Mormon) Students at
Texas A&M
Final in a series of ads by the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-Day Saint Student Association.
During this past week the Texas A&M Latter Day Saint
Saint Student Association has presented a series of articles
stressing the paramount role of Jesus Christ. Together with
the rest of the Christian world, we prepare for this Easter to
commemorate His loving and supreme sacrifice and victory
over death.
However, it is important to continue in the faith and hope
of Easter all year round.
Then Jesus said to those Jews which believed on him,
If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed.’
John 8:31
Latter Day Saint students at Texas A&M are active in pro
grams to develop discipleship. Besides Sunday student serv
ices where most students have worthwhile assignments or
callings’, other weekly activities include Monday Home Eve
nings, a group fellowship and Gospel instruction hour. L.D.S.
Institute courses at our Institute building 100 E. Dexter Col
lege Station are an integral part of our university education.
In addition, all L.D.S. students are part of the Latter Day
Saint Student Association and engage in assorted service
activities, such as the peanut butter cannery project reported
last week in the Battalion.
Most importantly, we join in exclaiming, “He
is risen!” and invite all students to make this
Easter a special and long lasting part of their
lives.
“Hey Annie!” This is your old roomie
Meg! I hear you want some advice
on which profs not to get next se
mester—well, don’t get Rumsfield
for Lit. Because “lit” is what he
usually is!”
“Oooooooooooooooooh!”
“And don’t sign up with Kinkley for
Psych. Any guy who wears a Tin-
kerbell Costume to class is in Big
TVouble!”
“No Kidding!”
“And don’t get old Snuffmeyer.
About every three minutes, she
sticks her hand in her blouse,
fishes up this ratty old hand
kerchief, gives you a big honk,
then stuffs it back down again!”
“Gross me out!”
“And she even gives pop quizzes!”
“Eeeeeeeeeeeeyooooooooo!”
