he Student Government
ction Commission will present
(felproposals for times, dates and
ing sites for spring elections
[he Student Senate Wednesday
[he Senate also will hear the
It readings of three new bills.
\lan Moore, election co-com-
|sioner, last week said one of
commission’s proposals rec-
Imends that this spring’s elec-
pns be conducted on one day in-
lad of two.
Pie said a one-day election
would provide an opportunity to
~cluct an efficient election
while reducing the time in which
misdeeds could occur. He added
that the commission will propose
that a central voting site be avail
able for students from 6 p.m. to 9
p.m. on election day to help acco
modate students who may not
have been on campus during reg
ular daytime voting hours.
The three new bills to be intro
duced to the Senate Wednesday
include one which calls for the re
apportionment of the Senate.
Another recommends the con
struction of outdoor campus di
rectories similar to those found in
shopping malls.
The third bill recommends
that exam essentials — test forms,
pencils and blue books — be
available for sale at the Sterling C.
Evans Library.

apid increase in enrollment is
ajor reason the Texas A&M
of Regents decided to reno-

ihe department has projected the
lirgraduate enrollment to be

The major reason for this,

Space limitations and inadequate
research facilities are straining the
department’s ability to meet commit
ments for currently funded re
search, Wellman says.
According to Wellman, “the nice
thing about the new building is it
gives us the space we need.”
Adams says construction is sched
uled to begin April 1987, after the
physics department moves into the
new Engineering-Physics Building.
The project is expected to be com
pleted by July 1988, he says, and is
estimated to cost $4.5 million.
Renovation plans include gutting
the entire building and re-building
the interior, Adams says.
The area adjacent to the Physics
Building also will look much better
when the construction is complete,
he says, as the cost of landscaping
the area and installing a watering
system is built into the cost of the
project.
Also built into the cost estimation
is a special conditions item to cover
any unexpected findings once con
struction begins, he says, which is
particularly important in a building
as old as the Physics building.
given final approval. The overall
budget for the year is set at $3.01
million, MSC Council President
Denis Davis said, up from about $2.9
million last year. Eichor said student
service fee allocations for the MSC
rose 7.1 percent this year.
The five-year master plan for the
MSC was distributed to council
members at the meeting for review,
and it will come up for discussion
and approval at the next meeting in
two weeks.
This plan outlines the long-term
goals of the MSC, and Davis said the
statistics in the plan look at where
the council has been in relation to its
goals, where it is now and where it’s
headed. ^
Old skeleton
unearthed,
found intact
Associated Press
AUSTIN — An intact human ske
leton that might be 4,500 years old
has been unearthed from an Indian
burial ground found in Williamson
County.
According to Alton Briggs, a pri
vate archeological consultant who
excavated the skeleton, the burial
ground, which also has yielded less
complete human remains, is part of
a large site that appears to have been_
inhabitated off and on for 7,000
years.
Arrow points, stone tools, shell or
naments and other artifacts have
been found at the site, only a small
part of which has been excavated.
“This is really a major aboriginal
site,” said Briggs, who owns Lone
Staar Archeological Services of
Georgetown.
“It was not uncommon to find
such sites in Texas 40 or 50 years
ago but they are much more rarely
encountered today. I can’t tell you
how good this site really is. It’s star
tling to find so much. It’s a regular
supermarket,” he said.
The site is east of Round Rock in a
gently rolling area that used to be
oat fields and horse barns but is now
part of a residential subdivision.
The initial discovery was made in
the summer of 1984 but it was kept
quiet until now because of concern
about looters, said Carol Klinge-
mann, one of the developers of the
subdivision.
The site is near Brusky Creek,
about 20 miles downstream from
where a 9,000 year-old skeleton
nicknamed the Leanderthal Lady
was found by state archelogogists in
late 1982.
Briggs said the site in the subdivi
sion is not as old as the highway site,
but is important because of its size
and the wealth of material preserved
in excellent condition.
He said no structures have been
found but refuse heaps and stone
cooking hearths at least 5 feet deep
indicated the area may have been a
long-popular stopping place for
groups of Indians as they made sea
sonal journeys for food.

8 way s to get a man
to ask you out again.
[
1. When he mentions “The Bears,”
know they’re from Chicago.
2. Seem unimpressed when he tells
you he scored a hat trick in the third period.
3. Take his word for it when he tells
you that 1984 was a very good year for
Chardonnays.
4. Laugh at his jokes, even when he
forgets the punch hues.
8. Avoid, at all costs, letting him see
you reapply your lipstick.
6. Order something more exotic than
a white wine spritzer.
7. Comphment him on his taste
in colors, even if he arrives in jeans and
a T-shirt.
8. Tell him you’d ask him up for
a Suisse Mocha, but you only do that on
second dates.
