(Photo by Bob Robinson) Texans remained jailed Tuesday in lieu of bonds totaling $525,000 on charges in what officials called one of the largest marijuana sei zures in the nation. Federal, state and local author ities arrested the six, including a Houston couple, on Monday and confiscated nearly a ton of mari juana. A federal narcotics agent es timated its wholesale value at roughly $250,000. Estimates on its retail value covered a range of prices in the hundreds of thou sands of dollars. Lt. Charles Doerr said the sei zure was the largest in the city's history and one of the largest in the United States. “We’re trying to find a place to put it all,” said one federal agent. Those charged in the case in cluded William Frederick Me- Ginney, 33, and his wife, Peggy Joyce McGinney, 32, both of Houston, $75,000 bond and $25,- 000 respectively. Officers said they were arrested at Waelder, where 500 pounds of the mari juana was seized from a car. Also charged were Barbara Ann bond; and Gary Eugene Dram $100,000; Andris Durst, $150,M Allen B. Taylor, $150,000, all San Antonio. 1 OUR SPECIALTY 1/5 Carat Eye Clean Diamond For Senior Ring, $40 plus tax C. W.

Cherry, assistant to President Jack K. Williams. An August report on the pro gram formerly known as the Tex as Opportunity Plan (TOP) re veals only 2.82 per cent of A&M graduates are delinquent in loan repayment. Other participating colleges and universities vary as high as sev en to 19 per cent delinquent. Con sistent high delinquency can lead to an institution being dropped from the program. “A&M’s record is probably one of the best in terms of total loans,” commented Alvin P. Bor- mann Jr., loan supervisor who AS GREA T AS THE STA TEf LILLY: Bryan!Commerce/Dallas Houston/San Antonio/ Victoria handles the program for A&M loan officer Robert M. Logan. Bormann said that since 1966 when the plan went into opera tion, A&M has made 6,788 loans totalling $2.6 million to 2.077 ac tual borrowers. Under a new pol icy, he noted, repayment begins the 10th month after graduation with up to 10 years to pay off the note. A minimum monthly re payment rate of $30 is required. “Our former students do a good job of taking care of their obligations on loans,” Bormann observed. “The rate indicates we have a good type of student, an honest one, who goes out and holds up the image of A&M.” It is important, he pointed out, in that current students have lit tle difficulty in obtaining loans through the Hinson-Hazlewood Act. Bormann added that so far this fall, 587 applications for $487,000 in loans have been proc essed and sent to the state. Bormann said much of the credit for the Aggie rate is due Mrs. Ann Vivero, student aid of fice loan counselor.
