louth Development Committee, Inc., Offers Youths Alternative To Drugs
The Youth Development Com
mittee, Inc., offers an alternative
ftryan-College youth with drug
problems.
The committee, a chartered non
profit organization, is open to all
area high school and junior high
school students.
The group, run solely by stu
dents, is not sponsored or affiliat
ed with any organization. It pro
vides an unstructured environ
ment for youths to “do their own
things.” The group holds rap
sessions and gives counseling.
Advisers for the group are six
environmental design seniors, all
students of Rodney Hill, profes
sor of architecture at A&M. They
are Frank Figueredo, Terry
Welch, Eric Opitz, Hessan Salimi,
Patrick Fontana, and Drew Wil
liams, advisor-coordinator.
Community involvement and
recreation are the major activities
of the group. By becoming in
volved with improving the com
munity, the committee presents
activities more worthwhile than
drugs.
Past activities include trips to
Head Lake and Somerville, and
a clean-up of Hensel Park.
Saturday the group plans a
“paint in” at the Brazos County
Rehabilitation Center. Members
will decorate a large crate for
playground equipment. Carpet
was donated by Tuttle Discount
Carpet, Bryan, to make the crate
safe for children. A picnic for
the children will also be held if
sufficient donations are received.
The major problem faced by the
group is its inadequate meeting
center. The organization is cur
rently meeting in a garage at
the corner of Palasota and Cot
tonwood streets in Bryan.
The garage has no electricity,
heat or lights. Since the group
is not funded by any organization,
a new center has been difficult
to obtain.
If a new center does become
available, the committee hopes to
expand its activities to a tele
phone counseling service and ad
ditional recreational facilities.
The center is open from 3:45-
6 p. m., Monday through Friday.
Weekend activities are planned by
the members in advance.
There are approximately 15
members presently attending the
center, according to Patrick Fon
tana, committee secretary. All
interested Bryan-College Station
youth are encouraged to attend.

The Education Amendments of
1972 made significant changes in
the Guaranteed Student Loan
Program.
The legislation, effective until
March 1, 1973, makes loans pos
sible under the same regulations
that governed the Guaranteed
Student Loan Program prior to
June 30, 1970.
This program enables the stu
dent to borrow money directly
from a bank, credit union, savings
and loan association or other par
ticipating lender. A maximum of
$1,500 per academic year can be
borrowed up to a total of $7,500.
Loans are normally repaid with
in 5 to 10 years, but minimum
monthly payment of $30 may re
duce the repayment period, de
pending on the size of the loan.
Repayment may be deferred up to
3 years for service in the military,
Peace Corps or VISTA.
Because Texas has its own stu
dent loan program, Texas college
students have not been affected
by the slow-down in applications
for loans. More than 10,800 stu
dents have already received loans
for Fall 1972 through the Hinson-
Hazelwood College Student Loan
Program.
According to Commissioner
Bevington Reed, these loans prob
ably represent two-thirds of the
loans which will be made for the
fall semester.

(A*)—Samplings of Texas voters
by political pollsters point to a
November victory in Texas by
President Richard Nixon.
But it’s too early to bet any
money you can’t afford to lose.
Texas Republican campaigners
are enthusiastic over opinion polls
that show Nixon ahead in Texas
as much as 53 percentage points,
but in the same breath they say
they’ll be glad to win by any
margin.
Supporters of Sen. George Mc
Govern claim the current margin
between • Nixon and their candi
date is not as wide as the polls
indicate and say it’s possible for
the gap to be closed by Nov. 7.
An even closer race, according
to both pollsters and campaign
managers, is the battle between
Sen. John Tower, R-Tex., and
Democrat Barefoot Sanders.
Some reports give Tower only
a four-point lead now.
A poll published by a national
magazine (Time) caused consid
erable stir the past week when
it showed 71 per cent of those
questioned in Texas favored Nix
on while only 18 per cent favored
McGovern and 11 were undecided.
, Another recent national poll
(Gallup) showed young voters in
the South, including Texas, fav
oring Nixon by a 70-29 margin.
A Republican poll of the state
in August, according to their
state headquarters, showed Nixon
with 68 per cent and McGovern
about 29.
“From what I have heard and
seen in my travels around the
state I know there are more than
18 per cent of the voters for Mc
Govern,” said Land Commissioner
Bob Armstrong who is a state
coordinator for McGovern-Shriver
and one of the few state officials
actually campaigning for the
Democratic ticket.
“I think Texas is probably do
ing as the rest of the nation,”
Armstrong said. “There is some
discernible movement to close the
gap. It’s beginning to close —
I’m not saying it’s closed, but it’s
beginning to close.”
Spokesman for Texas Demo
crats for Nixon are leery about
making predictions or polls but
they leave no doubt they think
the final margin will be a lot
closer than the polls show now.
Both sides agree that the out
come of the Nixon-McGovern race
vitally affects the Tower-Sanders
conflict. A big Nixon win could
push Tower to victory. A Mc
Govern win or even a close loss
gives Sanders a chance.
The closeness of the Tower-
Sanders race is indicated by op
posing poll results.
Republicans say a statewide
poll made in August showed that
Tower was 14.1 per centage points
ahead of Sanders.
Then in September the Texas
AFL-CIO and Sanders’ supporters
said another statewide poll show
ed Tower only five points ahead—
42 per cent favoring Tower, 37
for Sanders and 21 per cent un
decided.
