Members of the Texas A&M foot ball team won the five-day Olympics at Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and brought back a $ 1,000 scholarship. Team members included Carl Isaac, Dennis Mudd, Paul Caspar, Monty Jay, Rod Bernstine, Bobby Middleton, Norman Crow, Greg Dil lon, Todd Howard, Alan Thompson and Chris Ford. that one person from each team must drop the rope. With only the anchorman of each team left, Twelfth Man kickoff team member Middleton won the tug-of-war for A&M. Isaac said the group decided to enter the contest after a team consis ting of himself, Middleton, Caspar, and Crow placed second in a similar contest at South Padre Island spon sored by Heineken Beer. The group had a couple of rea sons for going to Fort Lauderdale: Most of them had never been there and they wanted to show the other schools the Finer points of partying, Isaac said. The games took place on the beach near Highway A1A, also known as “The Strip.” The Aggies competed in seven events: volleyball, a basketball “hot shot” competition, an aerobic tossing contest, an obsta cle course, tug of war, aerobics, and a car stuffing contest. The team got lucky, Isaac said, when the car stuffing contest was canceled due to bad weather. Issac said it would have been difficult to stuff nine football players into a small car. In the aerobics event, the teams did 25 minutes of aerobics and the school with the most team members left standing won. A&M tied Florida State for first place with each team having 11 members standing. The team placed third in the aero bic toss. An aerobic is a ring-shaped flying disc, Isaac said. The object of the event was to throw the aerobic across the width of a basketball court as many times as possible within a 30-second time span. Jay and Thompson tied for third in the basketball “hot shot” competi tion. In the “hot shot” event, the player shot from different areas of the court, each area being worth points, Isaac said. The Aggies scored 950 points with Florida State running a distant second with 500, Isaac said. Other schools participating in the games included Michigan State Uni versity, University of North Carolina at Charlotte and Princeton Univer- In Advance Faculty Senate to review minority conditions at A&M A special committee will pre sent a resolution to the Faculty Senate Monday urging Texas A&M to renew a commitment to improving minority conditions at A&M. The meeting will be in 601 Rudder Tower at 3:15 p.m. The senate's Committee on Mi nority Conditions at Texas A&M will ask that a special assistant to the provost be appointed to implement various recommenda tions of the report. It also will ask that the number of minority graduate fellowships and under graduate minority scholarships be increased. Also, the committee is seeking funding from the Board of Re gents to implement the policies recommended in the report, and it wants A&M President Frank Vandiver to delegate the respon sibility of implementing the pot cies to the appropriate officesanc officers. The report has drawn unfavoi. able responses from both Gordo; P. Eaton, provost and vice presi dent for academic atiairs, ani Clinton A. Phillips, dean of fat Lillies, who disagree withmanyol the committee’s findings. Eatoni scheduled to give a guest preset tation at the meeting. In other business, the senatf will consider a resolution recog ni/.ing the genetics faculty asar,| intercollegiate faculty. Also, May graduation candi-l dates will he considered for proval. Discussion also will continueoi the core curriculum proposal. New mayor, members sworn into CS counci By Craig Renfro Stull Writer sity. Mudd said the scholarship will be sent in approximately six weeks with an accompanying letter stating who won the scholarship for the Univer sity. The Aggies won First place in the obstacle course and tug-of-war and tied with Florida State University for first in the aerobics competition. The tug-of-war competition heated up in a sudden-death match between A&M and the Northwest II- linios University team. After each 25-minute standstill, rules stipulated The letter will recommend that the money be divided among the winning team members, Mudd said. Since many of the team members are on athletic scholarships, it will prob ably go into the University’s general scholarship fund. The scholarship was donated by Budweiser, the American Cancer Society and the City of Fort Lauder dale. Along with the scholarship, Isaac said they received a lot of “freebies” such as posters, suntan lotion, aero bics and t-shirts. Next spring break, Issac said, the group plans to go to Daytona Beach, Fla. At Thursday’s College Station City Council meeting there was a change of guard, as the old council members bowed out and the new council members were sworn in. Mayor Larry Ringer, councilman Dick Maddox, councilwoman Pat Boughton and councilwoman Sara G. Jones were sworn in bv municipal judge Phil Banks.

He said he wants the citizens’ sup port and hopes to work with the city council and staff to address prob lems lacing the city. Ringer said a number of advisory committees have positions open. He encouraged citi zens to participate in these pro grams. “I want the citizens to tell us*i we’re right and when we're wroti Ringer said.
