A&M hall ‘swears’ to collect money for children’s fund By Hal L. Hammons Reporter It would be a lie to say the “Gent lemen of Moore Hall” have given up swearing completely to help children during the Christmas season. But it is true that by contributing spare change every time they admit to swearing, they already have raised more than $40 to donate to “Toys for Tots.” “(Moore Hall) is becoming less ‘colorful,’ you might say,” said Luke Romero, one of the instigators of the fund-raising effort. It started at about 4 a.m. Satur day, Romero said, because he and Mark Hoermann, a resident adviser in Moore, wanted to swear less to get along better with the women they were seeing. Romero said the original plan was to donate the money they would col lect to a “bad cause” so they would be more likely to cut back on their bad language. However, he said they de cided to do something helpful with the money instead. Within 24 hours more than 30 people signed up to play “The Game,” and the pledges were al ready starting to accumulate. As of Monday, 49 people were playing. These included off-campus students, three women and some staff members who work in the dorm. The players pledge whatever amount they want, and money is col lected at the end of every week. Par ticipants are responsible for turning themselves in and creating their own personal definition of “cussing.” Until final exams the players may say an “off-limits” word only while discussing the rules of the game. Bonfire and athletics are exempted events. Ken Gleason said he wasn’t “sold” on the idea immediately. However, because the money was going to a good cause, he said he signed up the next day and started recruiting oth ers to play as well. About every five minutes people put marks by their name on the tally sheet outside Romero’s room. » The marks add up. Hoermann has 42 of them by his name already. At 25 cents per mark, he is already slated to contribute $8.50 to the fund. Another player owes $3.75, and that’s at a nickel a mark. These totals were as of Monday afternoon. Many people had not yet put their marks on the sheet for the day, and others went out of town for the weekend. Romero said that a goal of the game is for players to cut back on their bad language. But he said he hopes the pledge amounts increase even as the amount of swearing goes down. Some people already have in creased their pledge amounts, he said, but others have decreased theirs after realizing they swore more than they thought they did. “We have some people who (said they did not swear at all),” Romero said, “and now they owe us a couple of bucks.” Romero said the language in the dorm definitely has changed since the game began. “You pay $8 in one day, you curb your language,” he said. Romero said he thinks the altered language may last beyond the game. “We got conditioned to talking like fools, we can get conditioned out of it,” he said. Romero said he anticipates little difficulty when it comes time to col lect money. “If they didn’t want to pay, they wouldn’t mark it down (on the tally sheet),” he said.. State universities told to up faculty salaries AUSTIN (AP) — If Texas univer sities want to compete with the na tion’s best schools, officials must im prove professors’ salaries and expand liberal arts requirements for undergraduates, Larry Temple, chairman of the Texas Coordinating Board, said Tuesday. Temple said faculty salaries, li braries and scholarly research need to be expanded rather than utilites, building expansions and administra tive costs which usually receive the bulk of state money. “The state of Texas must demon strate that it is committed to support — that means money — a first rate higher education system,” he said. “We are almost five percent below the average faculty salaries for the nation as a whole. Can you see why we are having difficulty keeping the good faculty we already have?” Temple’s remarks were in a pre pared text of a speech he was to give in Austin at a University of Texas Frank C. Erwin Jr. lecture. Temple said every undergraduate student should get a substantial amount of liberal education so grad uates will know of the world’s great philosophers and writers. “We simply cannot permit a large segment of our people to become drones, working only for their small share of the honey in the beehive,” Temple said. “Nor can we permit those who become the scientists and the technologists to master only nar row fields of specialization.” UPA University Pediatric Association 1328 Memorial Dr. • Bryan Full Range of Services for College Students including Gynecological Services (Dr Kathleen Rollins) I (’all for appointment 776-4440 7 a.m.-7 p.m. extended hours for illnesses only William S.
