If the game was a little boring at times for some Raider fans, they were usually caught watching the bear cubs brought by the Baylor Bears.

FALL During fall registration, a familiar sight on the Tech campus was that of students moving into residence halls and apartments. Loads of clothes, re- cords, stereos and other odds and ends were pulled out of cars and placed in rooms to help make students feel more at home. At the beginning of the fall semes- ter. The University Daily printed a map of the Tech campus, complete with bus routes, to help freshmen and new students find their classes during those first few days. Many Tech coeds had no problem finding new friends when they re- ceived a bid from one of the 13 Greek sororities on campus. Men also began meeting new friends as Interfraternity Council opened fraternity rush with a smoker early in the fall. Students who did not participate in Greek activities enjoyed such campus activities as Raider Round Up andlast minute swimming and tanning. As cool winds and dust storms be- gan to blow, the pace of fall soon be- gan to slow down and students at- tempted to get into the habit of regu- larly attending class and studying. But the weather and classes did not seem to affect attendance during foot- ball season. The Raider football team kept the fall alive with outstanding performances. After a shocking 22-21 victory over Houston University, Tech students dreamed of a Cotton Bowl Invitation but, due to a Tech loss to Arkansas and a Houston win over the Rice Owls — the Cotton Bowl was out of Raider reach. Football and classes were not the only things that occupied the stu- dents, though. Many students became actively in- volved with State elections. The race for U.S. House of Repre- sentatives, m BHHHIf seemed to be very controversial. The race involved George Bush and Kent Hance, a former Tech student and eventual winner of the office. The campaign was termed energetic. The race for U.S. Senate also proved to be of interest to students. Bob Kruegar ran a campaign strategy that challenged John Tower to defend his record. Tower, who won the election, seemed satisfied to base his campaign on his past three terms in the senate. The Texas gubernatorial election proved to be a historical event as the first Republican since 1870 was elect- ed. Bill Clements won this political race over his opponent, John Hill. Government on campus steered away from last year ' s alcohol issue and took on several new issues. SA President Mary Lind Dowell said, We have to show the regents and administration that alcohol is not the only issue we are concerned with. The SA focused a majority of its attention on the possibility of placing a student on the Board of Regents. Although the board vetoed the pro- posal, Dowell said student input was very important. Members of the board would often ask her opinion on issues under discussion to see how the stu- dents felt, Dowell said. Budget allocations were also a ma- jor issue the SA dealt with in the fall. Students felt much of the budget was allocated to a small number of student organizations and needed to be more evenly distributed. Although the budget was passed with no amendments, Dowell said that in the future, serious consider- ation should be given to more careful budget allocations because students did care about what was happening to their university.
