Ed. Note: College Station artists
Carole Barnes and Sue Seward will
display their art work at the 24th
annual Fiesta of Arts and Crafts
May 18 and 19 in Austin. They are
two of over 200 artists from Texas,
11 other states, Mexico and Canada
to exhibit their works on the grounds
of Laguna Gloria Art Museum.
Entering through wrought-iron
gates, which once belonged to the
state capital building, Fiesta-goers
are transported through balloons,
batik banners and hundreds of paper
flowers into an atmosphere of a Mex
ican holiday.
From noon to midnight Saturday,
May 18, and noon to 9 p. m. Sunday,
May 19, artists will show their wares
under thatched roof booths. Works
in oil, watercolors, acrylics, tapestry,
charcoal, metal sculpture, pottery,
jewelry, leather and weaving will be
for sale.
An entirely new area for children
and the art auction is set among to
wering oaks along the banks of Lake
Austin. Children can take a train
ride, watch a magic show, have their
faces painted as nursery rhyme
characters and create their own
works of art on miniature easels.
The auction runs from 2 to 8 p.m.
daily under a giant yellow and white

Basic Educational Opportunity
Grant Program application forms for
the 1974-75 academic year are avail
able.
HEW Secretary Casper Wein
berger urged all eligible students
who began their college education
after April 1, 1973 and are planning
to enroll on a full-time basis for next
year to obtain one of the new forms
and apply for a Basic Grant.
‘‘During the coming year,” he
said, “$475 million will be used to
assist an estimated one million stu
dents. Basic Grants will range from
$50 to over $800, with an average of
$475 per student.
These grants can be used to help
defray the cost of tuition, fees, room,
board, and miscellaneous expenses
for students attending over 5,000
eligible colleges, universities, junior
colleges, vocational, technical,
career training schools and hospital
schools of nursing.
To apply for Basic Grant, an “Ap
plication for Determination of Basic
Grant Eligibility” must be obtained.

Within a month the student will be
notified of his eligibility index, which
is calculated on the basis of a formula
applied consistently to all applicants.
He then submits the notification to
the school of his choice, which calcu
lates the amount of his Basic Grant.
Application forms may be ob
tained from the financial aid officer.
During the summer months they
will also be available by writing to
P.O. Box 84, Washington, D.C.
20044.
Other forms of Federal student as
sistance, such as Supplemental Edu
cational Opportunity Grants, Col
lege Work-Study, National Direct
Student and Guaranteed Student
Loans, are available in addition to
Basic Grants. A student may also be
eligible to apply for State or private
sources of aid.
Receipt of a Basic Grant in no way
limits a student’s chances to obtain
other financial assistance as long as
that student needs additional aid to
pursue his college education.

DR. CLAUDE GOSWICK
HEALTH CENTER DIRECTOR
Question: How much is known of
the effects and harmfulness of
psilocybin mushrooms and peyote?
Answer: Psilocybin and peyote
(mescaline) belong to a group of
drugs of which alter perception,
mood and thinking. Tolerance and
addiction to these drugs presumably
does not develop, although there
may develop emotional depen
dence.
Taken in comparable amounts,
psilocybin and mescalin produce
much the same effects. Dizziness,
nausea, drowsiness, parasthesias (al
tered sensation to pain), blurred vis
ion and most dramatically, visual hal
lucinations, are the effects that result
from their use. There may be in
creased sensitivity to sounds, but
auditory hallucinations seldom
occur. The heart rate may increase,
along with poor coordination.
Unsupervised use may lead to
serious results and harmful effects.
Acute panic attacks, and long-lasting
and / or recurrent psychotic states
resembling paranoid schizophrenia
are fairly frequent. There may be
serious physical injuries secondary
to impairment of sight, hearing and
judgement.
Grads make motel out of mill
The “Old Zedler Mill” on the San
Marcos River in Luling has come
under the scrutiny of an entrep
reneur TAMU group.
They have just put out a study on
how to turn the blue Texas sky and
water into the green of dollars. The
economic feasibility study was done
on the installation of a motel and re
staurant facility in and near the old
mill as the first step in turning the
area into a historic tourist attraction.
The study was conducted by four
graduate students working for their
master’s degree in business ad
ministration. The four, Joel Alvis of
Baytown, John Paul Jones of El Paso,
Bill Veitch of Bryan and Sam Walser
of Chillicothe, in their determina
tion analyzed demand, projected in
come, operating expenses, construc
tion cost and return on investment.
This involved a study of the mater
ial impact on the operation of local
economic, physical and social fac
tors. The students are participating
in the first year of the entrepreneur
ial science program.
Program coordinator, Mrs. Della
Marshall said the business plans are
done “instead of the traditional
thesis. They come up with a business
plan seeking venture capital to start a
business. The students’ effort is then
evaluated by professional people.
This group of first year students took
the mill study as a dry run’ for their
individual projects next year.”
The project is a spin off from a
study done by architectural students
who studied and made drawings and
proposals for restoration of the 100
year-old mill which includes 11
buildings on more than five acres of
land. They decided how to take the
best architectural advantage of the
mill and still preserve the historical
advantages of it and how to go about
remodeling it, adding air condition
ing, security for the people and using
the river in the best way to preserve
the environmental features.
The business entrepreneur group
then picked up the financial football
in a second step to calculate the pro
fitability of development of the mill.
“Our students did a demand
analysis to see what the demand is for
a motel in that area,” commented
Mrs. Marshall. “And they did cost
analysis. When you take the cost
away from the revenue, you get
some idea of the feasibility of the
project.”
Early in their study, the group de
cided that, while aware of the future
plans for expansion involving arts,
crafts, and similar enterprises, due
to capital limitations the complex
should be built in stages, each pro
ducing a cash flow sufficient to fi
nance the following stage of growth.
As a result, they decided the restaur
ant was fundamental to that strategy.
Their conclusion presented this
week to the owners said, “Based on
probable construction costs,
principal’s probable investment, in
come and operating expenses and
other factors significant to the ven
ture, Entrepreneurial Science Fel
lows conclude that the motor inn-
restaurant complex represents a feas
ible venture.” Then the half-inch
thick report was handed over to the
owners, Dr. and Mrs. B. R.
Westbrook.
Alvis said of the project, “It’s one
thing to work on a problem as an
academic exercise and quite another
when the client is relying on your
advice and figures. The real proof is
would you do it with your own I
money. It’s something else to try to
project profits for five or 10 years.”
Women’s League
gives men 6 rights’
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)-The 54-year-old League of
Women Voters voted Tuesday to give men full membership
and equal rights.
The 935-433 vote was more than the two-thirds
required to amend the bylaws of the national convention of
the league, which was formed at the time of the women’s
suffrage movement.
The vote was greeted with a standing, cheering
ovation by most of the 1,400 delegates. And President
Lucy W. Benson announced she had a membership check
from the first man to become a voting member—her
husband. Men have been admitted only as nonvoting
associate members.
“Fm not certain men are ready for the league, but I
feel the league is ready for them,” Mrs. Benson had said
earlier at the league’s convention here.
“I don’t think men joining would change the thrust
of the organization. It seems to me the league would be
stronger with an equal membership policy.”
Some of the delegates had said men should not be
admitted because they would make the organization too
political, take over the group and make women uncomfort
able.
The Male Suffrage Caucus of the league had dis
tributed pamphlets saying: “The League of Women Voters
cannot continue to demand passage of the Equal Rights
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and not give the vote
to men.”
Mrs. Benson said that admitting men might neces
sitate a change in the name of the league, but she said that
would not be considered until the league’s 1976 conven
tion.
Meanwhile, the league voted overwhelmingly to reject
the titles “chairwoman” and “chairperson” and retain
“chairman” for all committee heads.

America
on a shoestring
(Show this ad to your folks.)
Here are a couple of great ways to spend your summer. Without worrying
about gas. A Greyhound Amenpass gives you unlimited travel throughout
America($165 for 1 month and $220for 2 months). And this invaluable guide
covers economical sleeping accommodations along the way. Plan your
own trip. Anywhere. Anytime. Sleep cheap. Then hop aboard another bus.
Another nice thing: you can bring your bike along too. We’ll carry it in
our baggage compartment at no extra cost. You can do some extra explor
ing on your own wheels.
So if your folks voted thumbs down on your travel plans this summer,
here’s a sensible way to reopen the discussion.
Go Greyhound. And leave the driving to us.
