ATTENTION
Summer Students!
3722 S.College —Bryan 822-2009
The summer SHUTTLE BUS service for this
year has been RESTRICTED to a few choice
apartment properties.
These few properties have shown enough
concern for the needs of their residents to
provide substantial subsidy to the shuttle
bus program to enable them to offer this
service EXCLUSIVELY to their residents.
These are the ONLY properties that will
have bus passes to issue, and any other
properties advertising that they are "on the
shuttle bus route" are doing so with the
knowledge that their residents WILL NOT
be allowed to ride the bus. Investigate thor
oughly before signing a lease.

“I would urge all of you to
get into architectural intercour
se,” Keeland said while showing
a slide of one chair placed on
top of another. “Sleep with as
many different styles as possible
and I don't care if your the clas
sical one on lop or the modern
one on bottom. It’s the idea that
you have to keep looking and
hopefully you’ll come up with a
new kind of baby.”
Keeland is a practicing ar
chitect, chairman of the City
Planning Commision in Hous
ton and chairman of the Parks
People, as well as a teacher. Joe
Mashburn, professor of envi
ronmental design at Texas
A&M introduced Keeland as a
father figure for a whole gener
ation of students in 1 louston.
Much to the surprise of the
audience, Keeland, in a dark
gray pin-strip suit and light
gray hair and goatee, began his
lecture showing slides of feet,
while playing music from a
hand-held tape recorder. The
score included “My Favorite
Things” and “New York. New
York.”
Keeland said the slides were
of his “favorite things” which
include buildings, fountains,
sculpture and his granddaught
ers. His talk was easy and infor
mal; he joked constantly. In
buildings from Houston to
Moscow, Keeland stressed tex
ture and color to make them in
teresting and amusing.
"It's very importanil

A major trend today when
trying to convince someone of
something is to use statistics.
Virtually every argument in
cludes the phrase, “statistically
speaking,” or “statistics prove...
Dr. C. R. Roa, an expert on
statistics, told students Tuesday
night that statistics were instru
mental tools in decision making
and planning for human wel
fare.
Roa has a doctoral degree
from Cambridge University,
where he is an honored alum.
He holds seven honorary doc
toral degrees from universities
around the world, including the

University of Leningrad and
the University of the Phil
ippines. Roa is currently a pro
fessor at the University of Pitts
burg and a Nehru professor at
the Indian Statistical Institute.
In a lecture titled “Statistics;
A Technology of the Present
Age,” Roa explained the in
creasing everday use of statis
tics, by scientists and laymen al
ike.
Many years ago, H. G. Wells
predicted that one day the abil
ity to think statistically would be
as important as the ability to
read and write. Roa suggested
that day was today.
Statistics are used to make
weather forecasts, report
crimes, determine the prices of
stocks and commodities a
t eport sports events. And I
are just a few of the statffl
deal with everyday.
Statistics also play an
lant role in governmem
politics, and every aspfl
business and industry.
With a casual and hi
style, Roa pointed out
ways the world could
front the science of slat®
only people would learn
it. For example, statists^
