St. Patrick
deserves more than
a day J.T McCord’s
iving him a week.
Being a good Irishman, J.T. McCord feels that
St. Patrick is entitled to more than a single day of
tribute. After an ugly incident with a power-painter,
some green latex enamel and a busload of Japanese
tourists, he settled for a less extreme St. Patrick’s
Day celebration — St. Patrick’s Week.
We’re honoring St. Patrick with green beer
and green drinks from March 10 through March 17.
That old Irish favorite — Rueben sandwich and
fries — is only $3.99 all week long. And on March
17, we’re giving away three green satin jackets for
the traditional wearin’ of the viridescent shiny stuff.
We realize this doesn’t overcome the
problem of ignoring St. Patrick for most of the
year. But it does give you six more days of green
beer than you’d have otherwise, and that’s a start.

Free tutoring
available
from honor
societies
By ANALISA VINSON
Reporter
Midterms will come and go, but
if your grade resembles the first let
ter in the word flag, you don’t have
to throw in the towel because two
campus organizations are willing to
help if you want to turn things
around.
Free tutoring is available for
some freshmen- and upper-level
classes through a service provided
by Phi Eta Sigma and Alpha
Lambda Delta, which are national
freshmen honor societies.
Cathy Chickering, president of
Phi Eta Sigma, says if a student feels
a large help session can’t help, then
tutoring may be what he needs.
“This is a one-on-one help ses
sion,” Chickering says.
She says sometimes it’s easier for
a student to talk to someone his
own age, rather than a counselor or
faculty adviser.
Chickering says tutoring isn’t
only helping someone with classes
and homework.
Tutors also give study and time
management tips.
“Of course we can’t help some
one the night before the test, but we
can help when someone First real
izes he needs help,” she says.
All the tutors are members of ei
ther Phi Eta Sigma or Alpha
Lambda Delta, or are upper
classmen who were members their
sophomore year.
Greg Bonnen co-chairman of the
tutor committee and a tutor himself
says some tutors keep their names
in the File even after they’ve left the
society.
Chickering says a student who
wants a tutor should look in the so
cieties’ Files in the MSC.
Members who volunteer to tutor
Fill out cards with the classes they
wish to tutor and the professor they
had.
She says sometimes it helps to
Find a tutor who had the same pro
fessor.
“A tutor can tell the student what
type of tests the professor gives and
maybe how to study for it,” she says.
The tutors have group meetings
because they feel if they know each
other better, then they can help
others more, Chickering says.
Restaurant report

Senior Staff Writer

ment. The information is based

spection reports.
David Jefferson, a registered
sanitarian at the department, says
restaurants with scores of 95 or
above generally have excellent
operations and facilities. Jeffer
son says restaurants with scores in
the 70s or low 80s usually have se
rious violations on the health re
port. Scores can be misleading,
Jefferson says, because restau
rants can achieve the same score
by having several major violations
or an abundance of minor viola
tions. He says the major violations
might close an establishment
down while some minor viola
tions can be corrected while the
health inspector is still in the
building during the inspection.
Jefferson says the department
might close a restaurant if: the
score is below 60, the personnel
has infectious diseases, the res
taurant lacks adequate refrigera
tion, a sewage backup exists in the
building, the restaurant has a
complete lack of sanitation for
the food equipment.
Point deductions, or violations,
on the report form range from
one point (minor violation) to Five
{joints (major violation). The de
partment inspects each restau
rant about every six months.
Sometimes a follow-up inspec
tion must be made, usually within
10 days. Jefferson says a restau
rant might require a follow-up in
spection if it has a four- or Five-
point violation that cannot be cor
rected while the inspector is still
there or there are numerous
small violations.

Six A&M students file to run
for student body president
By FRANK SMITH
Staff Writer
Six students have filed to run for
1986-87 Texas A&M student body
president, which will be voted on
April 2.
The presidential candidates are
James Cleary, Mike Hachtman, Karl
Pallmeyer, Marty Roos, Brett Shine
and Mike Sims.
Student election Filing closed Fri
day at 5 p.m.
On election day students also will
choose their Student Senate rep
resentatives, four senate chairmen,
class councils. Graduate Student
Council members and officers for
both the Residence Hall Association
and Off-Campus Aggies.
An unofficial count taken Mon
day by The Battalion put the num
ber of students filing in the elections
at 117.
Chris Gavras, election co-commis
sioner, said he thinks the number of
contested races is up from last year
for Senate chairmanships as well as
for RHA and OCA officers. How
ever, he said fewer students are com
peting for senator and yell leader
positions than last year.
In the Senate chairmanship races,
Jerry Dingmore and Rudy Rodri
guez are competing for the academic
affairs chair; Mark Browning and
Spencer McClung in the finance
race; Jose Castro and Billy McCaskill
for the student services job. Douglas
Baird is running uncontested for
chairman of external affairs.
those are running for thetwo^
able seats in the geosciencescoH
Gavras said grade checks |
rently are being conducted'
candidates and probably will bf'j
pleted by Wednesday. The]
checks could reduce the fieldofi|
didates further.
In the senatorial races, only five
seats will be contested, and 35 seats
were not filed for. That Figure in
cludes the differences between the
number of people filing for seats in
areas that have more than one seat
available and the total number of
seats for that area. For instance, if an
off-campus ward has seven senato
rial seats and only five people file,
two seats have not been Filed for.
Three of four RHA races and two
of four OCA races are being con
tested.
As for class councils, Five of six
Class of ’87 races — including class
president — are uncontested. For
both the Class of ’88 and the Class of
’89 three of five races are uncon
tested.
Seven people Filed for the Grad
uate Student Council, and five of
Both co-commissioners Cil
and Alan Moore said they
the three-day filing period wasfl
licized sufficiently. They
however, that a four-day f
riod might be a good ideaforfu
elections. In the past, the
riod lasted five days.
Another change in this years
tion was that filing remained«
In the past, candidates had no
firmation of who any of theiro
nents would be until after tht
elusion of the filing period, W
year a list was posted Thu'
showing the names of all candii
who had Filed up to that point
“We’re trying some new l
this year,” Gavras said. “Ifyon
try something new, you'll
know if it can work better.”
