Candidates
Editor, The Prospector:
Today at 1 p.m. there will be a
press conference at 303 E. Union
concerning the student lobby that
we are setting up and the change
in Student Association (SA)
intelligent and fair in his
decisions. He is responsible for
some very good legislation and
along with myself and Vice-
President Ernie Thomson
authored the new SA Constitution
which I hope everyone will vote
for.
What upset me most about Bill
Wall was that he changed so
dramatically when he decided to
run for president and all his
decisions were reduced to cold
politics. (see other letter). If he
can get over this fault I think he
could do a fine job for all of the
students.
There really is a good selection
of candidates for president and
vice-president and being friends
with most of them I found it very
hard to chose the “best” can-
didates.
I will however vote for James
Corral (president ) and Jana
Olson (vp) because I’ve found
them to be among the most
energetic senators and certainly
the most consistent and least
political in their opinions and
votes.
They also tried unsuccessfully
to get the senate working for the
students rather than holding
UT El Paso 1975 and there is
construction everywhere. The
University of Texas at El Paso is
beginning to grow not only in
population, but also in
educational facilities. In the fall,
the completion of the Fine Arts
Building; in the spring, Magoffin
Auditorium and the new Science
building; and now, on the north
court. For this (and for refusing to
make deals for their votes) they’ve
lost popularity with their fellow
senators. For activities vice-
president, and remember this
person and this person only is in
charge of all UT El Paso en-
The coverage during the Blood
Drive was limited to a two sen-
tence mention in “Imminent
Events”, rating the same publicity
as the coming performance of the
Texas A & M Singing Cadets.
The Prospector coverage for the
Blood Drive, in my opinion,
seemed to be a bad “Aggie Joke.”
Finally, I am upset when The
Prospector puts its top coverage
on malevolent stories rather than
on benevolent stories, on
problems rather than on
solutions. Even in that respect,
The Prospector missed the mark
by failing to acknowledge the
critical need for blood. Service
organizations on campus con-
stantly face roadblocks on their
way to helping students on the
campus and people in the
community, it’s no help when The
Prospector is a part of that
problem rather than a part of the
solution.

hardest working senators (along found it easier to get things done
with Bertha Zuniga, Clifford for students in the state
Reed and Jim Conal) and is usually legislature.
So it is goodbye to all the
foolishness that goes on around
here, in order to concentrate on
the Student Regent Bill, the
Coleman Bill to lower building
use fees and much other good
legislation.
Hopefully this lobby will
become a permanent; party to
the student government (due to
set up, it would take two years
constitutionally for it to become
official).
Clifford Reed has helped in our
lobbying efforts and will become
assistant UT El Paso SA lobbyist.
Finally there is a rumor
spreading that my prize hamster
“Stripers” will soon announce
himself as a write-in candidate
(being brown and white he figures
to have something for everybody).
I understand a decision on this
will be reached later this week.

BRIEFING ROOM
participate in non-varsity sports.
This department provides the
campus with a variety of sports
events which enables competitive
extracurricular activity. Why is it
that we always forget about the
dorm students who live on this
campus? They are finding it hard
enough to find activities, and now
the administration is closing the
only close indoor recreational
facility they have. Other
programs affected by the shut
down of this Recreational facility
are as follows: high school
equivalency program, Upward
Bound and physical education for
the handicapped .
You as students who par-
ticipate in intramurals, live in the
dorms, take activity courses, or
are majors of Health and Physical
Education, who believe that this is
an administrative move that has
forgotten about the real needs of
the students, help us seek a
reconsideration for, this in-
structional and recreational
facility by signing our petitions.
The construction of physical
educational facilities is essential
for the betterment of this in-
stitution and to expand and build
a curriculum to achieve physical
development through recreational
activity and competitive sport.
Participation in physical activity
contributes vitally to our
educational experience. Physical
Activity for students provides
maintenance’ of individual
health, produces desirable social
and ethical behaviors, develops
leadership abilities, and also
tends to stimulate and to develop
such mental attributes as per-
severance, decisiveness initiative,
self-confidence and presence of
mind, which are all essential to
achieve the total educational
growth and development of
students.

DEPT of SPATE
Tiger Trax, by Jim Cochran
A case in point is the renovation
and remodeling of Holliday Hall
for use by the Department of
Physical Education, Intramural
Sports, and to accommodate
men’s and women’s gymnastic
programs. A gymnastic area
which will provide safe keeping of
gymnastic equipment and allow
utilization by the Gymnastic
Team.
At the same time, it has been
brought to the attention of
students, Intramural Sports, and
the Department of Physical
Education, that the Women’s
Gym on the south end of campus
will no longer be used for their
courses and activities and for the
dorm student who lives on
campus for the fall of 1976.
It is our understanding that the
Women’s Gym, which serves as
an instructional, recreational,
and intramural facility will be
converted into a book depository,
moving out all Physical Education
and Intramural programs into
already crowded existing facilities
including Holliday Hall. By
keeping the Women’s Gym and
adding Holliday Hall would
alleviate the over crowded con-
ditions.
The Department of Phhysical
Education has worked hard for
years to bring to this campus a
curriculum that provides a variety
of the recreational and physical
activities that are in great demand
by the students.
The department serves up to 20
percent of the students on this
campus through its excellent
activity courses such as: hand-
ball, conditioning, Karate, rugby,
Judo, slimnastics, tennis,
bowling, swimming, gymnastics,
golf, self defense, badminton,
creative, tap and modern dance,
paddleball, and fencing.
The Department of
Intramurals serves all students
and student organizations who

Editor, The Prospector:
This is a letter of bouquets and
brickbats. First, the bouquets. A
bouquet for printing a picture
about the Blood Drive. Another
for mentioning Alpha Phi
Omega in the caption under the
story. We appreciate that.
Now the brickbats. First, the
blood drive was not only spon-
sored by APO but also by the
Student Association which put up
the contest prize money etc. and
which also did some of the
organizing work. Furthermore, it
was disappointing that your
coverage of the three days’s ac-
tivities was limited to one photo
and its cutline of one sentence.
No mention was made about the
organization contest for total
blood units donated which was
won incidentally by the dorms,
second place, Chi Gamma Iota;
third place, Lambda Chi Alpha.
No mention was made about the
critical need for blood or the fact
that a lot of El Paso doctors will
be able to do a lot of surgeries that
have been postponed for months
due to lack of blood. No mention
was made about how many units
were collected (200 units) or the
fact that this surpasses the highest
amount ever collected on this
campus by six times.
Not only was the publicity after
the blood drive lacking, but so
was the publicity before and
during. Total publicity received
before the blood drive consisted of
a two inch by two inch article
which did not mention the
following: 1.) when the
organizational meeting on the
Blood Drive was held; 2.) where
on campus it was held; 3.) the
other student organizations
participating, whose help was
vital (Lambda Chi Alpha, Kappa
Delta, Chi Gamma Iota, Circle K,
Sigma Alpha Epsilon); 4.) any
details about the followup
organizational meeting that was
held, March4.
