Willie Nelson’s picnic
to be at Liberty Hill
Looking for an unforgettable time
on the Fourth? Then head for Lib
erty Hill.
Situated in the Texas Hill Coun
try, Liberty Hill has been chosen as
the site for the nation s largest an
nual music event, the Third Annual
Willie Nelson Fourth of July Picnic.
This year Willie has acquired 520
acres of wooded land on the banks of
the South San Gabriel River. A
huge sloping meadow will give
everyone a clear view of what’s hap
pening on the stage. Eighty acres
will be reserved for parking.
Sanctuary from the Texas July sun
can be gained by going to the woods
or taking a dip in the river or either
one of the two lakes located on the
picnic grounds.
Performers at this year’s Picnic
are to include Willie and his Family,
the Pointer Sisters, Kris Kristoffer-
son, Rita Coolidge, the Charlie
Daniels Band, DougSahm, Billy C,
David Allen Coe, Milton Carroll,
Johnny Bush, Billy Swan, Alex Har
vey, Floyd Tillman, Donnie Fritts
and Delbert McClinton. As at all
Willie Nelson performances a few
artists will probably appear unan
nounced.
The first Dripping Springs Picnic
drew 50,000 fans and the College
Station crowd estimates for last
year’s three-day affair ran as high as
100.000. The estimates for this
year’s crowd range from 20,000 to
60.000.
Willie has thought of everything
this year. There will be arts and
crafts shows and interludes while
performers are setting up. Enter
tainment will also be provided by
audio-visual displays.
According to the promoters, one
man will dive fifty feet and land on a
wet sponge.
Tickets are $7.50 at the gate and
include parking arid camping. Site-
side camping will be allowed from 6
p.m. July 3 until noon July 5. Re
stroom and water facilities will be
available inside the picnic area.
There will be a complete food and
beverage concession.
Liberty Hill is 30 miles north of
Austin. From Austin take Highway
183 north and then west on Hwy. 29
to the picnic site.
House approves bill
for energy research
Slouch
WASHINGTON — The House
has authorized $4.6 billion for
energy research and development
projects aimed at making the Un
ited States energy self-sufficient by
the year 2000.
Rep. Olin E. Teague, D-Tex,
chairman of the House Science and
Technology Committee and spon
sor of the non-nuclear portion of the
bill, said, “This is one of the most
Jim Earle
“Do you remember that last-minute push you were going to make
that would bring your grades up? It’s about time to turn it loose!’’
significant and tangible strides
we’ve made thus far in our efforts to
become energy independent.
“Conservation, alone, can never
solve our problem,” Teague said.
“We must use technology, in con
junction with conservation, to
stretch available supplies and to find
new ways to run our cars and heat
our homes before the old sources
run out. This bill does today what
should have been done 10 or 15
years ago.”
The measure (HR3474) devotes
approximately $1.4 billion to non
nuclear projects and $1.3 billion to
nuclear research and development.
It is the first authorization for the
newly created Energy Research and
Development Administration. It
also is the first time the Science and
Technology Committee, with its
newly expanded energy research
and development responsibilities,
has worked on legislation with the
Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy.
The bill is expected to pass the
Senate with relative ease and in es
sentially the same form that House
members approved June 21 on a
vote of 317 to 9.
The Science and Technology
Committee doubled the Administ
ration request of $70 million.
Another $50 million was added to
the item on the House floor, provid
ing a total solar energy budget of
$193,700,000.
Also included in the House au
thorizations are $423 million for fos
sil energy; $56 million for geother
mal research; $134 million for con
servation and $197 million for
biomedical and environmental re
search.
In addition, the bill authorizes $5
million for the creation of a scientific
and technological education pro
gram similar to the existing Agricul
tural Extension Service.

Chicken fried steak like
you wouldn't believe.
The 3-C Corral serves a chicken fried steak like you
wouldn’t believe. We start with Vs pound of round
steak — without a speck of “extender.” We double dip
each steak in our own batter, fry it to a golden brown
and deliver it to your table hot and ready to eat. The
chicken fried plate also includes a generous serving of
french fries, fresh green salad and a roll.
And the price is about the same you’ve been paying
for a pre-breaded steak: $1.95.
If you like chicken fried steak (and nearly every
Aggie does) you’ll find a home at the 3-C Corral.

This seldom helps.
Planning will.
For instance, it's the only way to protect yourself
against financial emergency. But how to find the
best plan for you and your family?
Talk things over with the man from Provident
Mutual. You’ll find him helpful, low-key and very
understanding. Be frank with him. Openly discuss
your objectives with him . . . college for the kids,
retirement income, security in general. I le’ll come up
with a program that will be both efficient and
economical.
It’s his job to keep your head clear.
