Student Senate
votes to hold
1-day elections
By FRANK SMITH
Staff Writer
The Student Senate voted unani
mously Wednesday night to break
from past tradition and conduct this
year’s Student Government elections
on one day instead of two.
The change was one of several
proposals concerning dates, times
and polling sites that the election
commission had presented for the
Senate’s approval. The proposals
were all packaged together and ap
proved in one vote.
Three new bills also were on the
Senate’s agenda.
Alan Moore, election co-commis
sioner, told the senators that a one-
day election would prevent members
of the commission from missing two
days of classes. He also said there’s
no reason that student elections can’t
be conducted in one day like na
tional electiops.
The Senate approved scheduling
of general elections for April 2 and
runoffs for April 9. The campaign
Filing period will run from March 5
to March 7. Daytime polling sites will
be the Memorial Student Center, the
Pavilion and either the Blocker
Building or Zachry Engineering
Center.
In addition, since the elections are
scheduled for one day, a central vot
ing site at the Sterling C. Evans Li
brary will be set up at which students
will be able to vote from 6 p.m. to 9
p.m. Balloting at the other sites will
be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The candidates for student body
president will debate March 27, and
the official campaigning period is
tentatively set to extend from March
24 to April 1.
Moore also informed the Senate
that the commission had made seve
ral clarifications in the existing elec
tion code so that all regulations will
be readily understandable.
In other business, the Senate ap
proved a bill outlining its reappor
tionment. The Senate reapportions
itself every spring.
Sen. Jim Atkins, sponsor of the
bill, had recommended that the bill
be placed on emergency and passed
so students would know how many
Senate seats would be available in
each academic college and living
area well before March 5, the begin
ning of the election filing period.
Another bill which was intro
duced recommends that at least four
outdoor campus directories be con
structed to help new students and
visitors find their way around.
A third bill, which recommended
that exam essentials such as test
forms and pencils be made available
for sale at the Evans Library, was
withdrawn when co-sponsor Miles
Bradshaw said such a service had
just become available in the library’s
copy center earlier in the day.

Plane makes three flights with hole in belly
Associated Press
HARLINGEN — An American Airlines jet
flew to three other cities — two of the trips with
passengers — before crew members discovered
a rough aborted landing hours before had
gouged a hole in the jet’s belly, officials said
Wednesday.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswo
man Gerrie Cook said the jet had tried to land in
Harlingen early Saturday in heavy fog, but it
bounced short of the runway, knocked out seve
ral airport lights and proceeded to San Antonio.
The plane let off the 124 Harlingen-bound
passengers in San Antonio, flew to Dallas-Fort
Worth International Airport, loaded passengers
and flew on to Denver, Cook said from her Fort
Worth office. 3
A “fist-size” hole was found in the belly of the
Boeing 727 during routine inspection of the air
craft in Denver, Cook said.
American Airlines spokesman Al Becker said
crew members made fe<
around” inspections before the jet left San Anto
nio and Dallas, but that no one had spotted the
hole.
“I thought I was going to go through the
seat,” said passenger Ricnard Magee, 61, of
McAllen, Texas.
Magee said the passengers bounced around
and sat in silence.
Becker said the company would have to await
a federal investigation to determine if safety of
passengers and the craft was jeopardized be
cause of the hole.
Flight 844 with 124 passengers left Dallas-
Fort Worth International Airport late Friday
and was trying to make a scheduled landing at
Valley International Airport in Harlingen at
12:15 a.m. Saturday.
But visibility was poor and the plane circled
the airport three times trying to make an instru
ment landing. On the third try, it touched down
about 450 feet short of the end of the runway
federally required “walk-
Cook said.
The plane then hit an airport light stanchion,
knocked out five lights, proceeded aboc
more leet, hit a second stanchion andblt
another light, she said.
The plane then flew to San Antonioi
the passengers got off the plane andsoiwl
sent to Harlingen by bus, Becker said.
The plane went to Dallas without p.- Autumn

Semicid, a vaginal contraceptive suppository,
is an effective form of birth control that
doesn't interrupt the mood. Because Semicid
is so small and discreet, it’s almost like using
nothing at all.
There’s no mess, no smell. No un
pleasant taste. Nothing to remove.
And it’s available without a
prescription. M.
And Semicid works. It
contains the most effective
contraceptive spermicide you can buy,
nonoxynol-9. And it has no hormones
that can cause unpleasant side effects.
One Semicid is approximately as effectiv
as vaginal foam contraceptives in actual
use, but is not as effective as the Pill or IDD
Ask your doctor about it. (Some Semicid
users experience irritation in using the pro
duct. For best protection against pregnancy
follow package directions. And it’s essential to
insert Semicid at least fifteen minutes before
intercourse.) If your doctor has told you that you 1
should not become pregnant, ask your doctor if you
can use Semicid.
Stop using messy clumsy birth control methods.
Try Semicid, and see how it can improve your love life.
