BRADY Staff Writer The Aggie Club is alive and well but can’t ne found in its usual loca tion between G. Rollie White Col iseum and DeWare Field House. The organization has temporarily relocated in G. Rollie White while its usual office adds 700 square feet to accomodate several years of steady growth. “We have 500 to 1,500 people through that office on a football Sa turday,” says Executive Director Harry J. Green, Jr., describing the crowded circumstances on fall se mester weekends. Plans call for the 1200 square-foot building to be expanded to 1900 square feet as a reception area is built for dub members to visit while on campus. Staff personnel say they expect to be back in residence at the old location in 90 days. Beginning the year with over 3,500 members worldwide and a re cord intake of $2.6 million last year, the organization is bigger, says Green. “This year we’re hoping for a little bit more than that,” he says, describ ing the club’s current outlook for member donations. Aggie Club donations each year amount to almost 12 percent of the Athletic Department’s overall bud get, says Wally Groff, associate ath letic director for finance. Ticket sales, mostly football, gen erate the largest percentage of the department’s budget — 60 percent, Groff says. Royalties from TV coverage ac count for another 12 percent and the University’s supplement to the women’s athletic program makes up the rest, says Groff. Green is quick to point out, how ever, that the Aggie Club targets none of its funds once they are turned over to the Athletic Depart ment. “The Aggie Club is an indepen dent corporation, not an integral part of the Athletic Department,” Green says. Green also points out that the money his organization raises bene fits all sports, not just football. In fact, he says, the football program needs little financial aid. “The Aggie Club supports every thing but football,” he says. “Football supports itself.” Green also clarifies that Aggie Glub support is strictly athletic. The Association of Former Stu dents, he says, is the group that funds Buck Weirus Spirit Awards, faculty achievement awards and pro vides student loans. “They support needy students probably in 20 different ways,” he says. The Aggie Club has always been geared toward athletic aid. ( Founded in 1950 by seven leaders of the former students’ association, the club raised a modest $16,000 that first year and has since grown into a multi-million dollar operation. The club is governed by an annual board of directors and an executive committee made up of business and civic leaders. Green says the club’s growth rate has remained constant for several years. Generally 400 members drop out and 600join each year, he adds. Green says people allow their Ag gie Club membersnips to run out be cause they are financially unable to support the organization or they don’t like the season. Doctor negligently used radiation: Court Associated Press AUSTIN — The Texas Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that there was evidence to support a jury’s finding that a doctor was negligent in using radiation treatment that paralyzed a patient. Estle King sued Dr. James Bauer, who had treated King for lung can cer in 1978. Approximately 10 months after the completion of ra diation therapy, King’s spinal col umn degenerated, resulting in com plete paralysis of her lower body. The Victoria County trial court awarded King $297,000, but the Corpus Christi Court of Appeals re versed that judgment and ruled that King should get nothing. The appeals court said there was no evidence to support the jury’s finding of negligence because she had failed to present evidence that Bauer had used treatment “which would not have been taken by a rea sonable and prudent physician un der the same or similar circum stances.” The Supreme Court, in an 8-1 de cision, disagreed. something for everyone in the want ads 1.50 OFF ANY 2-ITEM ORil MORE PIZZA Chanellirs NORTH 846-3768 south 696-0234 o M Af P. <S- Free Pool from 2-5 p.m. Pitcher of Beer $2.50 Skaggs Shopping Center Call in: 846-4234 Courtyard Apartments “PRE LEASING SPECIAL” •Great location...Walk or bike to shopping mails? •Shuttle bus to campus •Extra large...Roomy enough for 4 •Easy living extras •Air conditioned laundry room swimming pools, tennis court, party room, laundry room, cable TV, on-site stor- age, security program, fulltime maintenance A* oco g 2'/z acre courtyard with large oak trees ’3A¥ For Summer, or Fall and Spring or move in today 1 & 2 bedrooms available all utilities paid except electricity, cable TV, partial or full furnishings at nominal extra.
