those exceptions should be explored

“Our argument is that official rec
ognition is not protected by the First
Amendment,” Hajovsky said.
Roberts said he felt the University
was standing on weak ground.
Three similar cases have been tried
in different courts and in all three
cases the courts have handed down
rulings similar to the 5th Circuit
Court’s ruling, Roberts said.
The decision of the regents to ap
peal the decision was not unex
pected, Roberts and Coleman said.
The meaning of the First Amend
ment is clear and well-established,
Coleman said.
Coleman also said he credited the
CSS for their persistence in pursu
ing the matter.
“Rarely have I seen a group so
courageous,” he said.
GSS is not yet a recognized on-
campus organization, and Roberts
said they will not be recognized until
the Supreme Court makes a final de
cision.
The System’s prolonged battle will
not endanger the future of GSS,
Roberts said. In fact, because the
University has battled the case up
the legal ladder, the court’s ruling
has set legal precedents in five states,
he said.

Campus organizations can now
get help in finding guest lecturers by
using a card file compiled by the De
partment of Student Affairs, says
Nyla Ptomey, Housing Program su
pervisor.
Each file card tells the topic for
the lecture, the approximate length
of each one and the best time to get
in touch with the speaker to set up a
date.
The topics in the file include rec
reation, social events, education,
hobbies and physical education, Pto
mey said.
“If an organization is interested in
getting a guest speaker, all they have
to do is come look through the file,”
Ptomey said.
With so many professors at the
University, it is hard not to find one
that is interested in the topic that an
organization might need, she said.
The files are in the Housing Pro
grams office, the Student Activities
office and the Memorial Student
Center. The library and the Associa
tion Building office in the MSC are
the next target locations.
“Any organization is welcome to
use the file,” Ptomey said. “It would
be advisable to contact the speaker
that your organization is interested
in hearing a week in advance. This
allows them to have the time to pre
pare their speech.”
The students don’t pay a fee to
use the file. The cost of photocopy
ing each file and updating each one
are absorbed from the Housing Pro
gram office, Ptomey said. The files
are now being updated for the new
school year.

By PAMELA WENTWORTH
Reporter
Texas A&M’s Student Counseling
Service welcomed the campus com
munity to the newly-renovated facili
ties in Room 300 of the YMCA
Building Wednesday.
The open house gave the faculty
and administrative staffs “an oppor
tunity to see the facilities and what
we are all about,” Ron Lewis, asso
ciate director of the Student Coun
seling Service, said.
The new service provides aca
demic, career and personal devel
opment to A&M students, he said.
The Academic Affairs Committee
recommended that the Academic
Counseling Service and Personal
Counseling Service combine their
centers to provide greater accessibil
ity to students. The renovation was
complete about one year ago. 1 low-
ever, Lewis said they wanted to fin
ish the interior before they formally
introduced the new center.
Among the many facilites of fered
is the Student Counseling Service li
brary. Students may visit the library
any time for information on study
skills, personal self-help books and
college-career catalogs, Wade Birch,
director of the Student Counseling
Service, said.
Students seeking professional
help may visit the facilities in person
or call in advance to set up an ap
pointment.
“If students feel they need coun
seling, it’s best if they contact us as
early in the semester as possible,”
Birch said.
The staff consists of about 18
counselors, including the adminis
trative members. Eight full-time li-
