Band director Mark Caldwell says he had some misgivings when Laurie told him last summer she wanted to try out for the band but he hasn’t had any since. Her only problem was learn ing to march. She had never seen a football field so Caldwell By STEVE GERSTEL WASHINGTON (UPI) — A balky Congress finally gave President Ford the mass transit bill he wanted but also forced him to accept two other measures he had vetoed. By a surprisingly large margin, 288-109, the House approved and sent to the White House a sll.B billion, six year program to help urban mass transit systems. In a telegram from Japan, the traveling President in formed Congress he would sign the bill. But the Senate dealt Ford two blows, overriding his vetoes on an expansion of the Freedom of Information Act, 65-27, and a vocational rehabilitation bill, 90-1. Ford has now vetoed 13 bills, and three of the vetoes have been overriden. Only five times in history and not since 1921, has only one senator backed the president on a veto. The lone vote against the vocational rehabilitation veto was cast by Sen. William L. Scott, R-Va. On five other occasions —the last in 1908 —Congress has unanimously rejected a veto. Although the Freedom of Information Act expansion now goes into effect, the $B5l million rehabilitation program remains in dispute. Ford contends he used a pocket veto on the bill, refusing to sign it while Congress was in a 30-day recess. A pocket veto cannot be overridden. Congress argues that a 30-day break for the elections does not constitute adjournment for the purposes for a pocket veto. The Supreme Court may have to rule. After a hectic first postrecess week, the House took the day off and the Senate scheduled routine legislation today. The House Judiciary Committee continued confirmation hearings of Nelson A. Rockefeller to be vice president. The Senate Rules Committee planned to unanimously approve the Rockefeller nomination, but chairman Howard W. Cannon, D-Nev., said there was “no chance” ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦: WOULD YOU LIKE TO i • < BUILD A 3 BEDROOM HOME ; 1 < 5 16,000 HO DOWN PAYMENT NO CLOSING COST Day Phone 228-3443 Night Phone 227-2408 ■RTjt r ’ ‘ "" flfll Ulß* <4 a *** fl 3b V k.»* «■•**' Laughing with fellow band member Laurie leaves field after halftime show.

With the help of some private practice sessions, Laurie learned how to march and once the season got under way, she of Senate action before Thanksgiving. The Senate and House approved similiar, although not identical, bills designed to regulate the way government gets information on individuals and how it is used. The House bill passed, 353-1, and the Senate bill, 74-9. But another major measure, which congressional leaders hoped could be passed before the end of the year, ran into more trouble. Senate-House negotiators, seeking a compromise strip-mining bill reached a deadlock. No new meeting was immediately set.

Laurie, who plays the clarinet, listens as the football game goes on, waiting for halftime, where she joins the band on the field. Music hasn’t been that much of a problem. Laurie sits in the middle of the clarient section for two practice sessions, taping her friends’ music on a recorder, then listens to the tape at home to learn it. “She never forgets her part,” Caldwell said. She has also brought out the best in fellow band members who wait for her at the end of the halftime show to assist her back in the bleachers, he said. Laurie was given a horse by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Bagwell. She says she has been “bucked off a few times ... but I’m improving. My main problem now is that I don’t have much time to ride.” Pit Cooked BARBECUE HAMS For Thanksgiving Up To 15 Lbs. Avg. Weight Cal! 227-8471 or 227-5340 after 5 P.M.
