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.”

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.
