A wheelchair basketball game featuring Houston teams and a plan to put other people in wheel chairs are scheduled. The special day is a project of the student organization HOPE, Help Our People Excel. HOPE is composed primarily of handi capped students at TAMU. HOPE President Mike Gagnee of Alice announced the Wheel chair Awareness Day program. Thirty wheelchairs will be available. Faculty-staff may sign up to opening three hours in one between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Stu dents are scheduled for 2 to 5 p.m. use. The 7:30 p.m. basketball game, between the Houston-Galveston “Easy Riders” and the University of Houston “Rolling Cougars” will be in DeWare Field House. Game tickets are $1 per adult, 50 cents for children under 16. Wheelchair Awareness Day is designed “to help faculty and students realize what handi capped students go through every day,” commented Sherry Easley. Wife of handicapped student Jerry Easley, she is helping with arrangements. The program is expected to en hance awareness of the architec tural and emotional problems faced by students in wheelchairs. It will also create more under standing for the handicapped, noted Gagnee. Persons who spend three hours in a wheelchair will be asked to write a report on the physical barriers and emotional stress they encounter. “It’s possible,” Mrs. Easley commented, “they will point out some barriers that have been overlooked.” The Texas Rehabilitation Of fice, located on the TAMU cam pus, has helped with Wheelchair Awareness Day arrangements. TRC counselor Don Gardner noted that the university has taken many steps to ease diffi culties for handicapped students, and that the program is not de signed to find fault. Wheelchair signup is being conducted this week in the first floor hall of the Memorial Stu dent Center. The project is one of two planned by HOPE. The other is a handbook to be published that will acquaint new handicapped students with curb and building ramp locations at TAMU. Wheelchairs are being donated by Bryan rental service com panies, the Brazos Valley Re habilitation Center and Hous tonians.

Bentsen asks increase in agriculture research fund WASHINGTON <A>)—Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, D-Texas, urged the Sen ate Agriculture appropriations subcommittee Wednesday to in crease the Agriculture Depart ment research budget by $27.1 million. The administration has request ed $98.7 million for the depart ment’s Cooperative State Re search Service. He said the service has cut its personnel rolls by 10 per cent since 1970 and that expenditures for research have decreased from 10.7 per cent of the total Agricul ture Department budget in 1955 to 2.5 per cent in 1973. “These reductions have forced our research effort to remain stagnant at roughly 1960 levels— fourteen years behind the times during a period of skyrocketing food prices,” he said. “I am seek ing an increase in funding for this vital service in an effort to bring down food prices and pre vent the prospect of food short ages.” The AGGIE CINEMA presents A TERRIFYING DOUBLE FEATURE !
