Saturday Prediction: Cool; The first fall weather system will dominate weekend conditions for Texas A&M’s 1972 football opener with Wichita State Uni- ersity at Wichita, Kan. Developing now in Southern
Canada and Montana, the system will trigger brief thundershowers here Friday afternon, drop Saturday morning temperatures into the low 60’s and provide virtually ideal conditions for the game, according to Jim Lightfoot.
The TAMU Meteorology Department meteorologist predicted persons traveling to Wichita for the game will have optimum conditions outside of the Friday afternoon showers marking the first frontal passage here since July 4.
“The system will be in North Dakota Wednesday and then move southeastward into the Great Lakes area,” said Light-
foot, whose five-day forecasts are available to TAMU faculty-staff.
“A front trailing off the system will move into our area Friday at about 2 or 3 p.m., accompanied by a line of thundershowers. These should be of short duration,” he stressed. “The front should ram on into the gulf, become stationary and then move back inland.”
Wichita weather Saturday will have a morning 47-degree low and 68 high with partly cloudy skies all day, the department weather station manager forecast. Clouds are expected to dissipate at sunset.
At the 7:30 p.m. kickoff, the temperature should be 62, dropping into the 50’s before the game ends. The return trip will encounter partly cloudy skies and widely scattered thundershowers and rainshowers, Lightfoot said.
Noon Physical Fitness Program Resumes MondayA&M faculty, staff and stu
dents resume the noon physical fitness program Monday.
Former and new participants will meet at 12 noon in Kyle Field with Dr. John M. Chevrette of the Health and Physical Education Department. The inclement weather site will be White Coliseum.
For persons interested in better health through individually- structured activities, the program has been a popular department activity for several years.
Chevrette said families of faculty-staff members and graduate students, particularly wives, find the program beneficial. Many participants are in the noon
■i mj* ’Mila
program, but others run in the early morning and individuals such as Dr. Johannes van Over- beek, biology head, swim at Wofford Cain Pool.
The program consists basically of a preliminary assessment of condition at the department’s Human Performance Laboratory and exercises such as running, jogging, or walking with a noon group.
Chevrette stressed that the exercise is arranged to suit individual condition.
“Beyond that, the program is not structured,” the health and physical education professor commented. “Individuals can go as far as he or she wants to go.

We provide leadership and guidance.”
New participants may make advance appointment at the lab for condition assessment between 12 noon and 1 p.m. weekdays, by phoning Miss Jackie Lambert or Dr. George Jessup at 845-5924.
Persons who cannot make the noon sessions may wish to contact Dr. Roger Feldman (845- 2651) about joining a group that runs in the early morning. It starts at 6:30 a.m. and concludes in time for members to get to work at 8 a.m.
“Many faculty members use Wofford Cain Pool for noon exercising,” Chevrette said. A fee schedule for such use is available at the Health and Physical Education Department, 845-6841.
Specific information about the fitness program can be obtained from Chevrette at the same number.

Women’s Dean Against Daily Visitor’s Hours
Dean of Women Toby Schreiber said Tuesday she is against weekday visitation hours in the new Krueger-Dunn Halls.
Permanent dorm hours will be decided on after officers are elected and constitutions are adopted later this month. A temporary dorm government with three resident advisors acting as the governing committee has been set up until the elections.
The standard dormitory constitution will be revised to fit the needs of the new coed dorm. Dorm constitutions set up a council which plans intramurals, parties and other functions and helps make dorm life better, according to Mark Blakemore, Civilian Student Council president. “They also collect money for dorm activity cards,” said Blakemore.
Acting president of Krueger Hall is Karen Haws. Vice-president is Julie McCalll and acting secretary-treasurer is Carol Sil- verthorne.
Debbie Schreiner is acting president of Dunn Hall. Other officers include Cliff Edwards as vice-president and Nancy Ondro- vick as secretary-treasurer.

‘Pap’ Test And Birth Control Pill Policies Reviewed By Powe
Dr. W. H. Powe Jr., newly appointed director of A&M University Health Services, reviewed university policy Tuesday concerning ‘Pap’ tests and contraceptive issuance.
With regards to performing ‘Pap’ test smears, Powe said, “We have the facilities to perform the lab test, if in the doctor’s judgment there is a need for it other than for the purpose of initiating birth control.”
“We do not deal with this aspect of health care for the same reason we don’t handle dental work,” said Powe. “Lack of adequate funds to employ a full time gynecologist to perform the service is a major reason.
“Our job is to take care of sick and injured students and to pro-
Free University Night TonightFree University Night is slated to be held at 7 p.m. tonight in the
Memorial Student Center Ballroom.The Free University is a new concept in education whereby none
of the traditional limitations of grades, credits and requirements are enforced. The only requirement is that a group of people be willing to learn.
Five courses have been added to the list of those being offered. Fencing, folk music, gourmet cooking, photography and ‘The Law and You’ are the recent additions.
Free University is a small do-it-yourself program, brought into being by professors and students. It does not involve the traditional university limitations such as credit hours, course requirements and grade points.
The Free University is sponsored by the Student Government and the MSC Council and a total of 13 courses will be offered. The Reading Improvement course had to be dropped from the list.
Students may register at the booths which will be located in the MSC, Academic Building, Engineering Center and the Library until the end of the week.
Additional information may be obtained at Free University Night or by calling the Student Government office at 845-1515.
New Apparel Industry Is Taking Survey For Student Employment
The Industrial Division of the Bryan-College Station Chamber of Commerce is distributing an employment survey for a large apparel industry in the Bryan-College Station area.
Persons 18 years of age and older interested in potential employment should complete the survey form appearing in local newspapers this week and return it in person to the Chamber at 401 S. Washington, Bryan, between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday, September 9.
The firm, a major national manufacturer of men’s trousers, is considering locating a plant in the area employing 500 seamstresses.
“This industrial pi'ospect is aware of the living, educational and cultural benefits of locating in our cities, as well as other economic factors,” explained Pat N. Mann, Chamber Executive Director.
The company must be convinced that an adequate labor supply exists, so it is important to get a good response.
Further developments toward location of the plant hinge on the outcome of the survey. The company is not presently committed.
Mann emphasized the company’s desire that individuals return the completed form in person to the Chamber of Commerce.

Birth control pills do not come under the heading of necessary medicine and are not issued by the clinic, although they can reissue a prescription for the pills.
He listed as two problems the increased workload on the present staff and social and political reasons as the probable basis of the present policy.
Powe contends that breaking with tradition in a conservative state would bring about possible repercussions.
“I think it would be more appropriate to have chest X-rays on a larger scale because of the higher probability of problems in that area,” Powe said.
Powe concluded that he foresees no change in the administration’s policy toward issuing contraceptives but plans to discuss the issue with the board of directors for clarification.
Mixer In The Grove Friday
The Civilian Student Council, along with the Student‘Y’Association and the Corps of Cadets, will sponsor two mixers this weekend in an effort to acquaint campus men and women.
Civilian Student Council President Mark Blakemore said “Six Easy Pieces,” a rock band from Beaumont, will play for the Friday and Saturday night affairs.
The Friday night mixer will be from 8 p.m. until midnight in the Grove. Saturday night is a chance to support the Fightin’ Aggie Football Team in their devastating victory over Wichita State. The game will be broadcast at 7:15 p.m. over the P.A. system onto the Main Drill Field.
There will be free refreshments and a yell practice during halftime. Both mixers are open to all students free of cost.
According to Blakemore, the Corps came up with the idea at the same time as the CSC. As a result the CSC is sponsoring the band; the Corps is in charge of the arrangements and the manpower; and the Student ‘Y’ is handling the publicity.
“If the mixers go over well, we may try to have them again next weekend when the Aggies play Nebraska,” said Blakemore.
