The clubs got together to better accomodate the members of both clubs, Cook said. Before the merge, the Windsurfing Club had no wind surfing boards of its own while the Sailing Club had two boards. The Windsurfing Club was founded in the fall of 1981. Being merged with a larger club, Cook said, will enable better organization for those people who want to wind surf. When asked if there were any pos sible conflicts as a result of the merg ing of the two clubs, Cook said that some members of the former Wind surfing Club might feel that too much attention will be placed on the sailing group. “Hopefully though, that will not happen. Cook said. Jackie Schuster, treasurer of the Sailing Club, estimates that 75 to 125 people will join the new club, and sees no conflicts in the merging of the two dubs, only advantages. First, the Sailing Club willincreax in membership, and second,thecliili will have more than two boardsto teach members how to ride, shesaii For $25, you can join the Safe Club which gives you theuseofal equipment, instructions in bothsail- ing and windsurfing, refreshmenis, and instructions for different watti safety techniques.

Operator handles emergency calls for on, off campus By JOHN MAKELY Reporter For on-campus emergencies, from serious medical problems to a broken pipe dumping water into your dormitory room, dial 991 1 for the 24-hour emergency operator lo cated on campus. The operator at the 991 1 number can contact the Texas A&M Emer gency Medical Services, the Univer sity Police, the College Station Fire Department or the University Physi cal plant. Off-campus students can dial 845- 1111 for the same emergency opera tor. Starting in October the emer gency dispatcher will use a proce dure developed by the Salt Lake City Fire Department to aid medical emergency patients before the am bulance arrives, said Steven Ellerhe, a captain with the Texas A&M Emergency Medical Services and a senior biology major. The dispatcher will ask callers for location, basic nature of tht injun and other questions necessary it send the ambulance.

Homemade signs banned during Reagan’s speech United Press International CINCINNATI — A White House advance man Tuesday denied that he ordered that all homemade signs be kept off Fountain Square during President Reagan’s appearance there last Monday. Bill Brennan told the Cincinnati Post he recommended to local Re publicans that they invoke such a ban because it “would certainly ex pedite people getting into the square.” But he said it was not an or der and not normal White House procedure. Anthony Reissig, a local COP offi cial who acted as liaison with the White House on Reagan’s appear ance last Monday, said Brennan and another advance man specifically or dered the ban. Dozens of people who showed up with pro- and anti-Reagan posters and signs at last week’s presidential appearance had them confiscated prior to their being allowed onto the square. However, once the specators passed through metal detectors, many were handed pro-Reagan signs by GOP loyalists, thus effecti vely keeping most anti-Reagan signs off the square and out of camera range. White House spokeswoman Kim Hoggard told the Cincinnati Postil is not White House policy to bu signs at presidential appearance. “It is standard Secret Servicepoli icy to reject signs that presentasea rity hazard. It is not While Hoiin policy to reject any signs, period, she said. But Reissig said Brennan and Jin Kuhn, assistant to the directoroflk White House advance office,speoi ically ordered him to recruit volt leers to collect all signs at thetf trances to the square. “They said, ‘We’re going to need some people,’ and that there wilt* no signs permitted on the squats and they also said it was forih safety of the president and for® venience due to that we only hadw openings to the square and them# bet of people that would be comisf through," he told the Post. About a half-dozen people whs signs were seized have threatened! bring suit over the incident, chaif ing that their right to free speed was abridged.
