There is a stretch ofTexas Avenue
directly across from Texas A&M
that offers some good places to eat.
It runs from University Drive to
Jersey Street and includes one pizza
place, one fancy restaurant, another
restaurant, and an all-night franch
ise eatery.
First, there is “The Saber Inn”
restaurant connected to the motel of
the same name. The Saber is a
quiet, relaxing place that offers good
selection and good quality. The
menu ranges from hamburgers, to
steaks and seafood. The prices are a
bit higher than one might expect
but aren’t outrageous compared to
other motel restaurants. The steak
here is almost always excellent. It is
flavorful, juicy, and cooked just
right. The prices are perhaps
high—a rib-eye sells for $5.25 with
other cuts priced accordingly—but
this is very good meat. Seafood is
fair. Few places in the city offer re
ally good seafood but that at the
Saber is better than you might find
elsewhere. Chicken is another good
bet, and the Saber offers a special
spaghetti dinner that is hard to beat.
The dinner includes salad, generous
helping of spaghetti and sauce, and
garlic bread at a reasonable price.
The salads served with the dinners
are really fine, and you can order
wines or imported beer to^ accom
pany a meal. Service is usually
good.
In the Eastgate area there is
“Sparkey’s Pizza. ” This is a popular
place for pizza, beer, games, and
occasional parties. Sparkey’s maybe
a little noisy or dingy for some peo
ple, but they offer good pizza at sur
prisingly low prices. A large pizza
costs you only $1.75 between Hand
seven. Regular prices are not bad
either. Sparkey’s uses a sauce that
seems spicier than that used else
where, and a lot of people think it is
the best pizza around. You decide
for yourself. Free dorm delivery is
available, just call them.
A little farther down is a quiet,
rather unassuming restaurant called
“Fontana’s.” This Italian-American
place is open only for dinner. The
atmosphere is quiet, a little elegant
and expensive. Service is very good

fast lunch, intimate booths,

and old movies.
The Best Pizza In Town (Honest)
and the menu offers a good selection
of Italian foods. The spaghetti is
good, perhaps more authentically
prepared. Lasagna and chicken cac-
ciatore are two other good choices
when eating here. Prices are mod
erately high, but this is a quality
restaurant. It makes a good place to
entertain friends or a date.
Every university town needs
some all-night places to eat and
drink coffee, and “Sambo’s” ans
wered this need in the spring of
1974. Sambo’s is a sort of strange
place, but once you get past the car
toons of Sambo and the tigers, you
can find several things to like about
the place. First, they are open 24
hours so you don’t have to rearrange
your schedule to match theirs. The
service is usually good, although
there have been some exceptions
when it was really bad. Avoiding
mealtime rushes here is one clue to
getting better service. The food is
acceptable and reasonably priced
for the amount and quality you re
ceive. Sambo’s specialty is breakfast
foods so you’ll find really good eggs
and pancakes here. Breakfast spe
cials are downright cheap for the
most part. Other foods vary in price
and quality. Hamburgers, ham
burger steaks, and chili are good
bets. They also offer a soup of the
day that is fresh-made and good.
GUSTO S Choice: Saber
Inn/Fontana’s (on basis of overall
quality). Good appetite.
Dr. Griffin, TAMU economist, is
part of a group of researchers who
are trying to help solve the
economic problems of the Gulf of
Mexico shrimp industry.
“In 1971, landings in the Gulf
were 143 million pounds and its
value to the commercial shrimp
producers was $136 million. The
Texas share of the industry was $64
million,” Dr. Griffin said. “The total
impact of the commercial shrimp
industry on the State ofTexas is ap
proximately $200 million in terms of
production. In terms of income to
households, this is about $57 mill
ion.
“However, just because the Gulf
commercial shrimp fishery is the
most valuable in the U.S. doesn’t
mean there is always a profit to be
made,” Griffin warned. “The reason
for this is, that like most fisheries,
shrimp is a common property re
source with open access to it. Any
one can fish commercially.
“According to recent research,
there may be more than sufficient
Leadership

boats to harvest the shrimp in the
Gulf,” Griffin said. “Total catch has
remained relatively constant while
the number of vessels has increased
steadily. Therefore, the constant
total catch of the industry has to be
divided between more and more
fishermen.
“In the recent past the price re
ceived per pound by boat owners
has increased faster than the cost to
harvest a pound of shrimp, ” he ob
served. “Every time there are pro
fits to be made in the industry, the
number of boats and vessels in
crease, eating away at those same
profits. Then, in years like 1973-74,
when costs increase faster than re
venue, the marginal producers finds
himself in trouble and drops out of
the industry,” Griffin said.
“We’re going to adapt the TAM U
agriculture budget generator to
shrimp vessels to help siM
economic problems of the shni;
industry,” he explained. “Withtk;
individual vessel costs and retuil
can be evaluated and the best vest
characteristics for a particiilj
businessman can be selected.
“This will supplement busi»
expertise,” Griffin said. "Hi

for the business.
