A history class at the veterans’ home sent letters to the Soviet leader and President Reagan in mid-January. In the reply read by Isakov, Cher nenko said: “The experience of World War II makes a case for the strong need to join efforts in order to remove the war danger hovering over the people and to stop the mad ness of the arms race, “In our view the upcoming new negotiations, whose objective is to prevent the arms race in’ space and terminate it on Earth, to limit and reduce nuclear weapons and to strengthen the strategic stability, provide an opportunity for taking a practical step on the road to a peace ful and secure future.” SG releases (continued from page 1) the future but it has not been consis tent in offering them.” Kelley said Student Government was especially interested to find out which banks would cash a University check if the person cashing it did not have an account at the particular bank. “We wanted to find out which banking institutions cash govern ment checks such as University pay roll checks or armed service contract or scholarship checks such as the Corps hands out,” Kelley said. “We wanted to know if they would cash these checks if the person doesn’t have an account there. Banks should cash these checks because they don’t represent any risk to the institution that cashes them.” Kellev said some banks offer spe cial services that make them differ ent from others. “First City has a personalized banking service and you get a bank officer assigned to your account,” he said. “That makes it easier to get loans and stuff like that because they know you better.” Brazos Bank has telephone bank ing and that makes it unique, Kelley said. “Texana has a special student ac count called the Maroon and White account, and for a flat service charge of $5.50 you get unlimited checking for a no-minimum balance, free pulse card and unlimited on-site withdrawls,” he said. Kelley said United Bank and Uni versity National Bank offer special account options but those may or may not be needs. 7 suited to a student’s Election (continued from page 1) ACT BPS r > [Ibm) o o V. & 3* C? » r MID-TERM CRISIS?

Wood said that the process for election filing is not quick and easy. “After a candidate files, the cam pus administration office runs a check on the validity of signatures, grades and conduct record,” he said. The process can take a couple of days, and premature release of a name could turn out to be invalid. Wood added. A person filing for office may be told the number of candidates run ning for a particular office, but names are released only after 5 p.m. on the official filing date. This year’s filing ends Friday. Wood said he hadn’t examined the legality of holding the names be cause it was a minor point in election administration, and because the main consideration was confidential ity for candidates who were “iffy.” When Madia assumed Wood’s former position, she was given a “written oral tradition” to follow, Wood said. “We made a suggestion to Laura, recommended it and talked it through,” he said. She isn’t acting on a precedent; she is trying to keep the system efficient, he said. “We don’t want to give the im pression that we leak information to a select few, and then have everyone else come to us and wonder why they couldn’t be told,” Wood said. In future elections, releasing the information to a reporter could be a help, Wood said, but that decision would lie with the election commis- Madla said her goal is to run the election in a professional manner and improve Student Government’s image. “We don’t want to mimic state and local elections,” she said. And, in an earlier phone conver sation with The Battalion city editor- ,Madia said, “Well, maybe what we are doing is wrong, but this is not the real world.” Madia said she is looking into any possible legal problems and will con tact the Attorney General’s office. Madia also said the student legal advisory service had found nothing ’ the illegal that applied to the decision. “If we’re doing anything illegal, we’ll find out about it and think twice before we do it,” she said. As Wood said, if there is any legal conflict, the decision can be easily changed. 1 here is no written rule or bylaw being followed, he said. Madia said there have been vehe ment arguments both ways. A representative in the opinions section of the Attorney General’s of fice said no open records decision or judicial case concerning any student government is on record. In order to determine who is cov ered by the open records law, she said, the head of a state agency — in this case Texas A&M President Frank Vandiver Or the Board of Re gents — must request an opinion from the Attorney General on re leasing the information. The only other way to set a precedent would be a court case, she said. As of now, she said, the question of whether a state university’s stu dent government body is subject to open records statutes has yet to be answered. ’ ; - Monday March 4 7:00 Rudder Theater presents Mike Hudson Challenges to the FIRST AMENDMENT in Public Education IlWi .PI.
