assume they know what they need
when in fact they’re making some
choices that won’t meet degree
requirements.”
But Carter said the deans will
have the option of blocking from
registration a student they feel
needs advising, “which would
force them to come through and
get approval,” he said.
In that situation students
would have to meet with their ad
visers and register at the Pavilion
using the current process.
Lutes said, “I presume that in
most cases it will be probation stu
dents (who will be blocked).”
Carter said freshmen and
transfer students will still be re
quired to come to summer con
ferences for their initial registra
tion.
For the majority of students
who won’t be blocked from regis
tering, Lutes said, the College of
Liberal Arts will include a
statement in the schedule of
classes explaining the benefits of
seeking an adviser’s help.
Dr. John Fackler, dean of the
College of Sciences, said that, like
Lutes, he is concerned about stu
dents bypassing advisers.
Carter said some abuses of the
system are inevitable, such as at
tempting to get into classes with
out having the prerequisites.
Under the new phone registra
tion system, some students also
will have to contend with blocks
from other departments, such as
the Fiscal department, the campus
[ lolice department and even the
ibrary, Carter said.
Nancy Kent, circulation super
visor for the Sterling C. Evans Li
brary, said students who don’t re
turn a book after receiving a
series of notices can be blocked
from registration until the book
and a processing fee of $10 are
paid.
The tentative registration
schedule will be from 8 a.m. until
10 p.m. Monday through Thurs
day and from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m.
Friday and Saturday, Carter said.
Society chooses
A&M department
as headquarters
By Rebecca Phillips
Reporter
Texas A&M’s Civil Engineering
department has been chosen the
new headquarters for the Chi Epsi
lon National Civil Engineering
Honor Society.
M. Drahne Jones, an A&M pro
fessor emeritus in civil engineering,
has been appointed executive secre
tary-treasurer — the top position in
the national organization. The
honor society meets every two years
to choose a new executive, Jones
said.
Because of this, he said, the head
quarters location at A&M cannot be
considered permanent.
Jones attributed the headquarter
move to his tenure and a superior
proposal from Dr. Donald McDon
ald, head of the civil engineering de
partment.
Currently, Jones is the counselor
for the southwest region of Chi Epsi
lon, which encompasses a nine-dis
trict area from New Mexico to
Texas.
Chi Epsilon was established in
1922 at the University of Illinois and
boasts a national membership of
over 59,000 people. Jones said that
Texas A&M has the largest of the
107 chapters.
The A&M chapter has performed
such services as painting a building
at Hensel Park and replanting the
flower bed in front of the Civil Engi
neering building.
A&M invites 35 to 40 juniors and
seniors into Chi Epsilon each semes
ter. Inductees are in the top one-
third of their class.

Magazine mentions aren’t new for
Cisneros. Playboy listed him among
its top 10 best-dressed men and Es
quire added him to its list as an out
standing American under age 40.
Saturday Review said looks are
not enough, even though Cisneros is
described as “tall, dark and hand
some.”
“Good looks, of course, are a pre
requisite, but our sex symbols must,
we believe, also embody — or at least
convey — a sense of character, com
plexity, wit, intelligence and under
statement,” the article said.
“They should have discipline,
irony, independence, discretion and,
preferably, a touch of luxe,” it states.

Casio challenges you
to find more power. At any price.
The amazing Casio FX-4000P pro
grammable scientific calculator. In
power, it’s compa
rable to the most
highly touted calcu
lators on the market
today.
It offers you
160 total functions, including 83 scien
tific functions, such as hexadecimal/
decimal/binary/octal conversions,
standard deviation and regression
analysis.
Making it easier to deal with
long computations, its 12 character
alpha-numeric display scrolls to 79
characters and its instant formula
replay feature lets
you review, edit and
replay your formula
at the touch of a
button. It even has
an answer key that
stores your last computed value.
And to make things still easier,
the FX-4000P has a “perfect entry”
system, which allows you to enter and
display a formula exactly as written.
Plus, it has a non-volatile 550
step program memory with 10 program
divisions. This allows 10 different pro
grams to be stored at once.
And it includes up to 94 data
memories, which are invaluable for
statistical analysis.
Finding all this power at your
fingertips is remarkable enough, let
alone at half the price of some com
petitors. If you can put your finger
on a scientific calculator that gives
you more power at any price, by all
means buy it.
