Apathy They say that we're all apathetic. We don't go for things athletic. Our morale is a dud, And we don't give our blood. Three cheers! A rah! An emetic. Asphalt There is a truth associated with university planning. As the number of cars parked on campus increases, the amount of asphalt increases in a similar but not adequate amount. fSee Parkingl Attendance QAJ the act of being present, as in a class. This requires a body only to occupy a certain space in a certain time period. Qualitative judgement, for example, being present but not paying attention, enters into it.

Automobiles Ask any teacher about the num- ber of student cars that don't start, tires that go flat and other automotive breakdowns that keep students from class. Many students depend on their automobiles to get them to class. Some simply aim the car towards UTA and wake up just as it pulls into a parking lot. lSee Parkingl Balloons Utilizing the clever technique of balloon advertising, Student Ac- tivities encouraged a great amount of enthusiasm among prospective audi- ences. 24 A pathy Bands A tribute to Duke Ellington, with a special arrangement of his greatest hits, highlighted the lab band's 28th Big Band jazz Concert in April at Texas Hall. Dan Burkholder conducted and Sharon Harnden sang several num- bers from Sweet Charity. The Symphonic Band, under the direction of Ray Lichtenwalter, assis- tant professor of music, featured in its spring concert Rakoczy March, La Fiesta Mexicana, Elsa's Pro- cessional to the Cathedral, excerpts from the opera Madame Butterfly and the Finale from the New World Symphony. In May, the Brass Choir, also di- rected by Lichtenwalter, presented Prelude 8: Fuguef' Liturgical Sym- 5-04 -V-, . U A 1 T-ii mg:- K is f ' . do v, A W? .,.. 6, me

Alunmi After the Student Activities Fee Advisory Committee recommended in February the demise of intercollegiate football, the Alumni Association stepped forward with strong vocal support for the athletic department in general and football in particular. In a two-page resolution support- ing all programs funded by the ac- tivity fee, the 19-member association board unanimously voted to pro- mote what it termed the realization OOM MAITE of the total university concept. The resolution also spoke out against the release to the press of the student committee action and de- plored the delegation of substantial responsibility to students in deliber- ations that might have a lasting effect on former, present and future students. It also resolved that everything possible be done to prevent a yearly recurrence of such actions.

Tom Brogan, development director, who has been seeking contributions from alumni, said he believes the association is really starting to move. He said the emphasis will be on serving the student body, the alum- ni and the university, in that order. Animals Students come seeking knowledge, dogs and cats come for a little affec- tion and hopefully a handout. Stray animals are great to have around when you need a friend-they know how you feel. Apartments Attempting to minimize the woes of apartment hunting, Student Con- gress instigated a referral service de- signed to help students find apart- ments which suit their life styles as well as their pocketbooks. Congress charges the apartments a S25 referral fee each time a stu- dent signs a lease. Of that fee, S15 is given to the student to help defray moving costs and the remaining S10 goes to a fund for special projects. Apartments 23

The band season was capped by an appearance of the University of Michigan Symphonic Band, the first university band to tour the Middle East and Soviet Union. fSee Musicl Beer An alcoholic beverage brewed from malt and hops. If coffee is the magic liquid which allows thousands of students to get through exams each semester, beer is the stuff that revives students from after-exam woes. Bicentennial The increasing activity this year in University Hall 2.10 may be a sign of what one worker there calls the single most unifying force since World WarII. He was speaking of the Texas Bi- centennial Commissions efforts at organizing communities to celebrate their heritage and culture in anti- cipation of the nation's zoorh anni- versary in 1976. Due mainly to Arlington's location in the heart of a large metropolitain area, the state bicentennial office moved here in july 1973. Its chief duties are to coordinate state committees and assist in ob- taining state and national recogni- tion. Recognition of local and state committees is obtained by submitting a plan to the state office here. To be recognized the projects must contain heritage fpastl, festival tpresentl and horizons lfuturej activities. Bicycles Two-wheel enthusiasts whiz across campus free from parking problems, the wind blowing their hair as calories are pedaled off. Riding bicycles doesn't pollute and the world doesn't go by quite so fast. A major problem here concerns thieves. Owners have been known to return and find their front wheel securely chained where they left it- andthe rest of the bike gone. Bicycles 25
