Rearrangement of MSC Council to be discussed By CATHIE ANDERSON Stuf f Writer The Memorial Student Center Council will discuss a proposed rear rangement of MSC committees dur ing its 6:30 p.m. meeting . Pat Wood, MSC- president, says the rearrangement will balance out the workload for MSC vice presi dents, who manage different com mittees within the MSC. Wood says a new program appro val process also will be presented to the council for acceptance. The process will help committee pro gramming get to their respective vice presidents and the program re view committee while the commit tees are in the planning process. “It’ll put the program-making au thority at the right level,” Wood says.“It’ll keep the program debate at the standing committee level, so we won’t have to debate program ming in the council meetings so much. Then the decisions will in volve people, who know what’s going on in their particular area of pro gramming.” A difficulty arises in council meet ings, he says, because every member can’t be aware of everything that’s going on in the MSC. The council also will be examining the nominating committee’s recom mendations for the 1985-86 commit tee chairmen positions. These chair men will head such committees as MSC Hospitality, Town Hall, and OPAS. A gay rights debate program, which MSC Political Forum has been planning, also is on the council’s agenda. T he program will bring out side speakers to Texas A&rM.

By SUSAN MCDONALD Reporter The Issues and Grievances Committee will meet today in 501 Rudder at 7 p.m. to discuss bicy cle problems and any other issues students wish to bring up. Wayne Roberts, Student Gov ernment vice president of student services and founder of the com mittee, said this session will also be used as a wrap-up of the entire year so the new Senate can start taking action this spring. The Issues and Grievances Committee is new- this year and meets monthly. Roberts said he formed the committee because students need some direct form of communica tion with Student Government in stead of going through their sen ators. “It is an open forum for stu dents to air complaints before Student Government,” Roberts said. “It’s the one chance students have to get their point across if they are upset with what the Sen ate does.” The Issues and Grievances Committee is not a formal com mittee. Roberts presides over the meeting along with any other person in Student Government who wishes to attend. “This is the first year anything like this has been tried,” Roberts said. “It has a lot of merit and I’ve been pleased with the response. Those who don’t take advantage of it have no one to blame but themselves.” Master's in land development New degree available By CATHIE ANDERSON Staff Write/ Texas A&M will be offering a master of science degree with a ma jor in land development this fall. The degree program is one of only two in the country and was de veloped by Dr. W.G. Roeseler, pro fessor of urban and regional plan ning. It will be offered through the urban and regional planning depart ment in the College of Architecture and Environmental Design. “This is a high risk field for peo ple with a lot of guts and determin ation,” Roeseler said in an earlier ar ticle. “It is one of the few remaining frontiers (in business) where you can win it all or lose a pile.” Thirty students will be allowed to begin studying for the degree each fall, Roeseler said. They must hold a bachelor’s degree and have passed either the Ciraduate Records Exam 'This is a high risk Held for people with a lot of guts and determination. ” — Dr. W. G.
