The Army Brigade of the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets will march in its annual awards parade today at 5 p.m. on the main drill field. But pa rade preparations didn’t begin last week, they began last summer in Ft. Riley, Kan. Ft. Riley, a military training camp for cadets with Army contracts, hosted 3,600 cadets for an “intensi ve” six week summer camp, with 89 cadets from A&M. A&M returned with honors for the top place graduate, William B. Giessing, the third place graduate, Bonne Lyn Krumpotic; and 11 other outstanding cadets. “It was a long, hot, miserable six weeks,” said Capt. Gilbert Collins, professor of military science at A&M. “You could call it a boot camp, but while regular boot camp is for enlisted men, this was an officers’ boot camp.” Richard Watts, a senior civil engi neering major, said he enjoyed sum mer camp, but he’s glad it’s over. “I did have a good time, but I don’t want to go back,” Watts said. “I had the chance to meet a lot of dif ferent people other than Aggies, but I could see that Aggies are much bet ter prepared.” Watts said he felt the biggest ad vantage of the camp was the “on the job experience.” “We got the practical learning of what we learned in class,” Watts said. “But the big idea was leadership. You were graded on the way you handled people.” Collins agreed. “It’s basically a leadership mechanism,” he said. “They get to put their hands on ev erything we’ve talked about. They become the ones in control.” Those cadets who attended the camp will enter the army with the rank of second lieutenant. Costs of housing at A&! depend on individual By ROBIN BLACK Senior Staff Writer Whether it costs more to live on campus or off campus depends on the individual, the area and the uni versity involved, a Texas Real Estate Research Center study says. Housing at Texas A&M fits in at both cost extremes, says Stephanie Palubicki, coordinator for the Uni versity’s Off-Campus Housing Cen ter. Of the University’s 36,000 stu dents, about 27,000 live off campus. The Off-Campus Living Survival Manual, a guide put out each year by the off-campus center, says the aver age cost of a two-bedroom, two-bath unfurnished apartment is around $328 a month. Prices for such an apartment can be as low as $285 a month or as high as $455 a month. Add to that the cost of utilities, phone service and groceries and things can get pretty expensive. The University’s undergraduate catalog lists the average cost of a dorm room for one semester as $633 for women and $538 for men. But dorm prices vary as much as apartment prices do, ranging from $332 a semester for ramp-style dorms such as Puryear or Law to $825 a semester for the Commons area dorms such as Mosher and As ton. Add to that the cost of meal plan — which ranges from $625 to $691 — and on-campus living also can get pretty expensive. factors other than cost must also be taken into consideration when a student decides where to live, Palu bicki says. Living in a dorm can be more con venient than living off campus, sim ply because the student lives on the campus and has the University’s re sources at his disposal. On-campus life also has thaw- backs. Parking for on-campus stu dents at A&M can be a real chal lenge. Linda Hamilton, a junior psychol ogy major from Richardson, says she hates to drive off campus because finding a parking place when she re turns is next to impossible. Privacy is another sacrifice that must be made by those choosing to live in dorms. Lynn Aldridge, a junior computer science major from Austin, says she prefers living in an apartment for many privacy-related reasons. “I like it more because you’re not sardined in one little room,” she says. “You have a whole apartment to spread out in, so it’s a lot like home. “Another thing I like is being able to set my own hours. If somebody wants to come over late at night, there are no dorm hours to bother with and I can come and go when ever I want.” Students living on campus must adhere to visiting hours. With the exception of dorms housing mem bers of the Corps of Cadets — which have no visiting hours during the week — visitors are not allowed in dorms after 10 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays or after 1:30 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. The cost of apartment living can be cut considerably by sharing ex penses with roommates, Palubicki says. “Very few students live by them selves,” Palubicki says. “Most! an apartment with one or other students.” “For example, if four ptu share a two-bedroom, twoli apartment, it often is less exp than living on campus.” But, she says, that dept: strongly on the individual. “Where I say it would proki cost less to live off campus ini cases, it always depends on thep son and his lifestyle,” she says depends on how much foodhek how often he goes out and soon' Palubicki, who came to thei from Minnesota about two n® ago to take the job as coordinatot the off-campus center, says trend across the nation is tow j more students living off campus “Nationwide,” she says, “aboin percent of all college students! off campus, and this has bett continuing trend for some time "Living on campus is anoldm lion for students, and that stank change in the ’50s and '60s, students were looking fora mom dependent lifestyle.” As for costs at other universiue Texas: The real estate study show: cost of on-campus living at the!: versity of Houston at about $2i! | month and off-campus around $255 a month—bothn estimated at double occupano- making a difference of $45ai per student. Other universities withalesstl a $ l()()-a-month increase for dents living off campus inch : Texas Tech University, Austin! lege and Trinity University. French doctors admit euthanasio United Press International PARIS — A group of French doc tors admitted Wednesday they had practiced euthanasia and called on more physicians to consider mercy killings to alleviate the suffering of terminally ill patients who no longer wish to live. In a statement published on the front page of the daily Le Monde, five eminent doctors confessed they had “helped patients in a terminal stage of illness to end their lives in the least painful way possible.” Each decision to practice euthana sia was taken “in full conscience in doing one’s duty,” said doctors Clau- dine Bachet, Jacques Bataille, Jean Bignon, Bernard Fonty and Alain Michelet. The five called on other physi cians to add their names to the man ifesto calling for legalizing theiki mercy killing to ease pain. The manifesto said its signaton “declared themselves ready broach the question of dead]» their patients and to reflect« them on the means of ensuring end as free from suffering andi guish as possible.” French law prohibits eutheni5 It was not known whether thed) tors will be prosecuted.
