Armadillo stew,
extra riding day
top cavalry trip
Remnants of A&M’s new cavalry
unit got more than they bargained
for on their 160-mile end-of-school
trail ride: an extra day in the saddle
and armadillo stew. The armadillo
stew was the impromptu contribu
tion of Fred Pronger of Stratford,
who caught, cleaned and cooked the
unfortunate beast which happened
to cross the path of the TAM U group
as it galloped from San Marcos to
Uvalde.
“Not bad” was the culinary as
sessment of a transplanted Pennsvl-
vanian, Army Captain James Hol
land, who rode with eight TAMU
spring graduates in the ceremonial
end for the 1974 version of Parsons
Mounted Cavalry.
THE BATTALION
WEDNESDAY, JUNE B. 1874
Holland, military science instruc
tor, serves as advisor for the all
senior unit formed last year as part
of TAMU’s Corps of Cadets. The
20-man unit, inspired by early-day
cavalry organizations at TAMU,
participates in march-ins at football
games and has been asked to appear
in several parades around the state.
The group averaged 10 hours a
day in the saddle during the eight-
day ride which ended late Sunday
afternoon. Original plans called for
the spring fling to be over by Satur
day.
Captain Holland said the riders
spent an extra half day at Center
Point to rest the horses. They also
were delayed when one horse threw

“They (the students) learned a lot
about the difficulties of doing some
thing like this, the maintenance of
their animals and themselves,” Hol
land noted.
They bunked under the stars and
made do with what food they
could find or purchase en route.
Their route took them along the
“Devil’s Backbone” near Wimber-
ley, past Canyon Lake and Bandera.
In addition to Holland and
Pronger, the riders were Bobby
Huddleston of Uvalde, Bob Byrnes
of San Angelo, Ross McDaow of
Columbus, Johnny Becker of San
Antonio and Mike Collins, Paul
Hess and Pete Dunnam, all of

Student loan
policy change
now effective
Legislation effective June 2
streamlines the Federal Guaran
teed Student Loan Program, and is
expected to result in increased par
ticipation in the loan program.
Currently, a financial needs test
is required before a student can
qualify to receive federal interest
subsidies on a college loan.
Under the new law, a student
whose adjusted family income is
below $15,000 automatically qual
ifies for interest benefits on loans up
to $2,000 each academic year.
If such a student wishes to receive
interest benefits on a loan larger
than $2,000, he must submit to the
lender a recommendation from his
school, based on a needs analysis.
A student whose adjusted family
income is over $15,000 may also
qualify for the interest benefits, but
he must submit the needs analysis
recommendation, regardless of the
amount of the loan.
For a student who qualifies for
the subsidy, the government pays
all of the interest on his loan while
he is in school, and for up to nine
months after he is no longer in
school. The student then begins re
payment of the loan and begins pay
ing the interest from that time.
