that he has been recommended by
Montes and has met no opposition
from the administration or his
fellow senators.
Garcia said there would be an
effort to include this provision in
the new constitution and that the
revised constitution should be
ready for presentation to the
student body by mid-October.
“I’m looking forward to serving
as president of the senate and will
fight to get more voice for the
students in matters affecting them
on campus,” Garcia said.
All the uncertainties about
Coach Bobby Dobbs’ 1972 squad
will be answered Saturday night
when the Flyin’ Miners open the
grid season against little-known
Lamar University.
The Miners aren’t taking the
vifting Cardinals lightly. Although
Lamar is a much smaller team than
the Miners, Coach Vernon Glass
has several speed merchants who
could make the opener rough for
U.T. El Paso.
Coach Dobbs knows this and
certainly has passed it on to his
players not to be over-confident
about Lamar. “We’ll play them
just like we would any other team,’
Dobbs said.

“It’s difficult to get a team

can’t afford not to.
“The players will have to put
personal glory secondary to the
good of the team. And that’s what
we’ve been trying to build into
them,” Dobbs stressed.
Dobbs game plan calls for an
evenly-balanced attack but with
the throwing talents of
pro-candidate Gary Keithley, and
his backup, Herb Singleton,
something’s got to give - and it
won’t be on the ground.
