The A&M Consolidated School
Board approved a property-tax
base for 1975-76 of $1.77 for every
! S100 valuation of property at its
meeting Monday night.
Superintendent Fred A. Hopson
said $1.44 of the amount will be
used to pay local maintenance and
facilities costs. Outstanding in
terest on existing school bonds will
be paid with the remaining 33
; cents.
The board approved a loan to
help pay for salaries and operating
expenses through January or until
all school taxes are collected.
The loan, from University Na
tional Bank, is for $60,000 at an
interest rate of one-half of one per
cent, Hopson said.
“We cannot pay operating ex
penses before January without the
loan,” Hopson said.
The board also approved pay
ment of $25,000 for two relocatable
buildings already under construc-

THE GREATEST
SANDWICH
The greatest sandwiches in the Southwest are served from
11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. each day Monday through Friday on
floor 11M, Conference Tower. The greatness of these sand
wiches is no accident. There are several types of meats and
you can select your choice and mix or match any three pieces
for your sandwich on the bread of your choice.
Two of the several types of bread are sour dough and baked
fresh daily in our Duncan bakery. Further, these breads are
prepared without shortening for the diet conscious guest. For
the greatest taste tempting delight just make your sandwich
exactly like you want it and pop it into one of the handy
micro-wave ovens. This wonderful sandwich and a bowl of
soup for only $1.50 plus tax will place you on cloud 11M.
We agree this is a bit of a long story, but it is difficult to stop
talking about our tasty sandwiches.
Open Sunday 11:00 A.M*. -1:30 P.M. for regular meal only.
“QUALITY FIRST”
tion.
One of the buildings will be at
College Hills Elementary School
and the other will be at South Knoll
Elementary School.
Hopson said the addition of the
relocatable buildings plus two addi
tional teaching units would ease the
overcrowding problem.
As of last Friday, enrollment in
the school district was 3,071 stu
dents.
Both of the teaching units, total
ing three teachers, were provided
for in this year’s budget.
The board was also informed by
Hopson that $2,400 was available
this year for the Drug Abuse Prog
ram.
The state funds will be used to try
to involve the student in the fight
against drugs, Hopson said.
He said crime- and drug-abuse
programs are getting away from
the strictly informative approach.
“The idea is to integrate crime
and drug abuse prevention ideas
into other classes such as social sci
ences instead of health and physical
education,” Hopson said.
School Board President Nancy
Donaldson also announced that the
school board had upheld the ad
ministration’s decision to expel
Jerry Thayer for the remainder of
the school quarter.
Thayer’s parents requested ac
tion on the matter from the board
at a public hearing Wednesday.

Approximately 20 cats have been
picked up under the city’s Hew
animal-control ordinance, and not
one of them has been claimed,
Larry Fitzgerald, College Station
humane officer, said Monday.
The ordinance, in effect since
Sept. 1, requires each cat and dog
to be on a leash when not on its
owner’s property. Besides cracking
down on loose dogs, the new ordi
nance places similar restrictions on
cats for the first time.
Fitzgerald said he has no expla
nation why none of the impounded
cats has been claimed.
He said there probably won’t be
a decrease in the number of feline
pick-ups in the near future.
No tickets have been issued to
owners of unleashed cats so far,
Fitzgerald said. He said he has is
sued pnly warning tickets this
month to dog-owners walking their
pets without a leash, but said cita
tions will be issued beginning next
month.
Violators of the ordinance can be
fined up to $200.

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: $ 2 35
If you like chicken fried steak (and nearly every
Aggie does) you’ll find a home at the 3-C Corral.
