DALLAS — Council members
voted Wednesday to keep the con
troversial Dallas Motion Picture
Classification Board, but watered
down the rating agency's authori
ty-
The 26-member board can no
longer fine theater owners who al
low children under 16 to see films
the panel deems unsuitable.
Instead, the agency will contin
ue to view the films before they
are shown in Dallas.
But instead of labeling the
films "suitable” "not suitable" or
"suitable with exception," in
newspaper advertising, a separate
box will provide the agency's rat
ings on movies.
Board Chairman Dr. Fred Aur-
bach, hailed the decision. He said
it means the council would begin
looking at redefining the law that
governs how films are rated in
Dallas.

HOUSTON — There seems to
be an identity crisis of sorts going
on at the University of Houston.
Students dressed in clothes
bearing the symbols of rival Texas
A&M University and the Univer
sity of Texas are not uncommon,
and there's even the occasional
Harvard sighting.
Enough, some student leaders
plead. And, with tongue in cheek,
a suggestion has been made to try
to end this wanton lack of respect
for the university.
Two student leaders made a
proposal earlier this week to bar
students from wearing symbols of
other Southwest Conference
schools.
Heinous violators would be
so
i#
rry.
They could face five hours of
community service and might
have to write a two-page report
on the school's history.
They may even be slapped with

Austin's universe.
But in sprawling Houston, an
"We're a very diverse city so you don't have
that sense of identity you have, say at College
Station. This has always been a school of older,
less traditional students."
— Russell Hruska, president of the University of
Houston's Students' Association
the nationally recognized Rii
University usually comes to minJ
first.
"We're a very diverse dty,sc
you don't have that sense of ideit

ways been a school of older; less
traditional students."
And now, the ultimate disgrace,
clothes brandishing the symbol
of rival schools on the Houstoi

"This was done in jest," Russell
Hruska, president of the Students'
Association, said Wednesday.

In the small town of College
ever image-conscious city most
commonly associated with the oil
industry and home to NASA's as
tronauts, the University of Hous

The school's athletic programs
are overshadowed by professional
sports. And when one thinks of
college brain power in Houston,

The proposal was submitted ti
the Students' Association on Mod
day by student Senate speakei
Michelle Palmer and senator]eS
Fuller.
If it passes, which is considered
a near impossibility, university of

before Student Association men
bers could go on patrol for fashioc
violators.
The proposal might be passei
as a mere resolution asking
dents to demonstrate their pride
in the school.
