Vance says county won’t get CD funds The county’s hope to receive funds authorized under the Hous ing and Community Development Act of 1974 has been squashed, at least for the present. County Judge Bill Vance was told by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) last week there will be no funds availa ble for Community Development Discretionary Block Grants within Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSAs), which Brazos County had applied for. HUD explained that more areas than expected qualified for the basic grants authorized under the act and no funds currently remain for dis cretionary grants. Vance said the county was hoping to receive $17,000 this year and up to $300,000 to $400,000 over the next seven years from community development funds. HUD’s announcement will not af fect the applications submitted by the cities of College Station and Bryan for money under a different section of the act. At a meeting of the local Chamber of Commerce this year Vance said he hoped the county might use community development funds to help build the Brazos County Park. 311 University — North Gate 846-1713 NEW HOURS 5:00-12:00 M0N.-FRI. 5:00-1:00 SATURDAY 5:00-12:00 SUNDAY I I But/ One Pizza Get Next Smaller Size of Same Value FREE with coupon inside order only - Expires 4-10-75 Coupon Good All Hours I I U nderneath the butter is a wood and wire mesh frame. He also has two black-eyed peas for eyes. Old Sarge was created by Anita Davidson, manager of food services in the Memorial Student Center. Sarge was not her first attempt at butter sculpture. Davidson made her first sculpture for a banquet held in the student center. “About a year ago I was going to do a paper mache pig as a center- piece for the Pork Producers’ ban quet. And our assistant director thought that would be great but, he said, on all beautiful buffet tables was a butter sculpture and an ice sculpture. So I decided to try it,” she said. The, result was a 22-pound, solid butter pig. Davidson began the pig with a one pound block of butter. She added more butter to the block and shaped it with her hands, although her hands are not the only utensils she uses. “I don’t have any sculpture tools. I use such things as popsicle sticks, scewers, letter openers, knives and anything I think will do what I want it to do,” she said. Some of the figures she has shaped are a family of pigs ranging from four to 28 pounds, a white horned toad of uncolored mar garine, and a set of bears which she made for a gathering of the Parks and Recreation department. Among her other accomplish ments are a fruit tree of popular fruits and a Pillsbury dough-boy type figure of shortening. Davidson said, “The shortening boy was harder to do than using but ter. I had to sit in the refrigerator to do him. It was pretty cold.” She plans to use Old Sarge at the president’s pre-football game ban quets which are given for officials of visiting schools. In the meantime, the sculptures must be stored in the student center’s freezer. AGGIE CINEMA PRESENTS A ‘CLASSIC’ SERIES FILM GRAPES OF WRATH Si* mm Pushed off their ancestral tenant farm by the Dust Bowl and mechanized agriculture in the early thirties, the Joad family leaves Oklahoma to work in California. They discover they are unwanted because of other thousands like them, willing to work for starvation wages. When laborers band together to demand fair treatment, they are run out of town. With an epic majesty that never falters, the film depicts poverty, injustice, despair, disillusionment, and hardship in a manner that makes this film a classic of our time.
