Officials: Advising helps
students avoid trouble
By Richard Williams
Reporter
Although academic advising is not
mandatory with Texas A&M’s new
phone registration system, not meet
ing with an adviser before registra
tion can cause problems for a stu
dent.
Registrar Donald D. Carter said
students can bypass the advising
process because of the way the tele
phone registration system works, but
he said students should still take the
time to meet with their advisers.
Students who are blocked from
registration for academic reasons
must receive advising before they
are allowed to register, but others
can register without consulting an
adviser.
Colleges or departments can block
students for academic reasons.
Some advisers have said they
don’t like students being able to reg
ister without getting advised because
of the problems that might arise.
Among the problems mentioned
most are students registering for too
many tough classes or students regis
tering for classes having prereq
uisites that they do not meet. Stu
dents registering for classes without
meeting the prerequisites will usually
be dropped from the class to make
room for those who meet the prereq
uisites. Once dropped ffom a class,
students may find it hard to pick up
another class that will fit in their
schedule.
Dr. Alvin Larke, an adviser in the
agricultural education department,
said, “Without advising, students
may take some courses we would not
advise. This could lead to problems.”
Advisers have said students not
taking advantage of opportunities
for advising may find themselves
without enough courses in an area
graduate or without the coursesnt
essary to get the job theywantali
graduation.
Larke said students sometim
register for a course thinkingil»
substitute for another, but hewai
students not to sign up for a con:
as a substitute without first chedi
with their adviser.
The spring semester class sdit
ule contains a disclaimer warn
students, “Failure to obtain com
information will not exempt*
from having to meet degree reqai
ments.”
Academic advising will be a*
able for all students through Nov
during times posted in eachdep
merit.
“Advising is available for y«
Carter said. “Youjust havetodeo
to take advantage of it."
Betting enthusiasts
start making plans
for races at track
WEATHERFORD (AP) — Horse
and track owners in this community
already are planning their first race
after Texans voted to legalize pari
mutuel betting in state and local op
tion elections.
Jimmy Bradley and Jack Johnson,
co-owners of Trinity Meadows Race
Course in Parker County, said they
plan to apply for a track permit as
soon as possible and prepare the
track for the large number of visitors
expected to attend the racing events.
“WeTl immediately go apply for a
pari-mutuel license for a Class 2
track,” Bradley said Wednesday.
“We’ll make general improvements
— like improve the grandstand, put
in (betting) windows, improve the
parking.”
About 57 percent voted in favor
of legalized race track gambling
statewide, while about 43 percent re
jected the referendum.
In Parker County, supporters of
pari-mutuel betting outnumbered
opponents by 1,188 votes.
Parker County Clerk jpprrie Reed
said, “That surprised me because we
had a lot of local churches — a lot of
Baptist churches in our county
against gambling.”
Proponents of legalized gambling
say keeping horse and dog racing in
the state will bring in millions of dol
lars and provide Texans with jobs
that previously had gone to neigh
boring states that allowed racetrack
betting.
Horse trainer Sally Pike says she
has traveled every year to New Mex
ico to pursue her career in the horse
racing business.
“We have to move to New Mexico
every summer where we can make
more money,” she said. “The purses
are bigger there.”
Pike said she was at first uncertain
of the final results of Tuesday’s elec
tion concerning the racing issue be
cause of what she called a misinfor
mation campaign waged by
opponents.
“At first I thought it would win by
a lot,” she said. “But as the campaign
went on, I didn’t know what was
going to happen. You heard so
much from both sides. The thing
that really shocks me is the igno
rance on the subject.”
Weatherford resident Carol Davis
said she also was unsure how much
support the pari-mutuel issue would
receive from Texas voters.
Davis said -she and her husband
train race horses and were planning
to move to Louisiana if the issue
didn’t pass.
“Financially, we need pari-mutuel
to stay here,” she said. “I’ve lived
here all my life, but my first love is
horses.”
Now Parker County race enthu
siasts need only to worry about get
ting local tracks ready for the races.
Bradley is looking forward to the
opening, saying he anticipates de
mand for training facilities in Parker
County will increase threefold.
“We’re going to get the horses
from Oklahoma, Louisiana and Ar
kansas,” he said. “It’s not just Texas
that’s going to stay home; we’re
going to get them from other states.
“(Trinity Meadows) is like Mc
Donald’s — we’ve got the best loca
tion in the state.”
