Wurstfest opening brings New Braunfels to lift
By RAY DANIELS
Battalion Staff Writer
New Braunfels, 120 miles from
A&M, comes alive Friday with the
opening of the 15th annual
Wurstfest. The festival, running
from Oct. 31 to Nov. 9, highlights
the enjoyment of beer, sausage and
dancing, augmented by 114 sports
and entertainment events.
Fora one-night visit to Wurstfest,
the MSG Travel committee is pro
viding a 80-space bus trip and entr
ance to the Wursthalle for $10. The
buses will leave A&M at 1 p.m.
Saturday, returning to campus after
the Wursthalle closes at midnight.
The Outdoor Recreation Com
mittee is going also to New Braun
fels. The group will camp at Canyon
Lake Saturday night, but plans for
Girl Scouts
vote down
male entry
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Girl Sc
outs voted overwhelmingly Tues
day not to admit boys to their or
ganization.
Boys will be able to participate in
Girl Scout activities when invited,
however. About 60,000 adult men
will be able to continue as troop
leaders, board members and
consultants.
The Boy Scouts, which are not
affiliated with the Girl Scouts, voted
last year to admit girls aged 14 to 21
to their Explorer Division.
The 1,800 delegates to the Girl
Scouts national convention, by a
show of hands, backed up their di
rectors who recommended against
admitting boys.
Those who wanted boys in the
program argued that they would en
courage older girls to remain in the
scouts and increase membership.
By merging girls and boys into one
program, they said, it would cut ex
penses of having duplicate progr-
The critics, clearly in the majori
ty, said girls mature faster than
boys, so grouping them by age
would be a problem. They argued
that boys would dominate girls and
that the organization would lose its
all-female identity.
“If we need boys to sell Girl Sc
outs, we need to re-evaluate our
program, ” said Brenda Akers, 17, of
Lawrence, Ind., in preliminary de
bate Monday. Her comments re
ceived much cheering and applause
from the delegates, varying in age
from young to middle aged and old.
Maureen O’Connell, 17, of Ch
icago, argued that boys will try to
dominate girls when they go on
camping trips. “They’ll try to tell us
how to build campfires and stuff,”
she said.

arrival and departure are still unde
cided. Interested students should
sign up at the Outdoor Rec booth in
the MSC and attend the organiza
tional meeting Thursday evening at
7:30 in Room 607 in Rudder Tower.
The Wursthalle and surrounding
grounds, located in the center of
New Braunfels, are the focal point of
the festivities. Last year 4,032 kegs
of beer and 40 tons of sausage were
consumed by the 150,000 people
who attend.
Everything from aspirin and apfel
streudel to wurstburgers and wurst
tortillias are served.
Sausage starts at 75 cents and for
$1 to $1.50 a third pound of sausage
on a stick can be bought. Twelve
ounces of draught beer in the
Wursthalle costs 50 cents, and
pitchers are $2.50 for a refill. The
profits, according to Wilton War-
necke of the New Braunfels
Chamber of Commerce, are recy
cled into the community through
donations to schools and community
programs.
Weekend attendance is largely
college students and young people,
while week night crowds are usually
middle-aged adults and families, ac
cording to Tom Purdem, public re
lations director for Wurstfest.
With such a large number of
people attending, an elevated
number of disturbances and ensu
ing arrests is usually anticipated.
Last year, however, only 75 per
sons were arrested by the 30 New
Braunfels officers for public intoxi
cation and/or disorderly conduct.
“Most of them were out in about
four hours, provided they could pay
the $25 cash bond, ” said John Bres-
lin, records manager of the police
force.
“We’ve been encouraging the
police force and Wurstfest security
not to hassle people who are having
a good time,” said Warnecke, “but
we don’t want to see a few people
keeping others from having a good
time.” Little trouble is anticipated.
A provision for encorcing the 1
a.m. liquor curfew, closing the re
tailers at midnight, provides an
ample margin of safety. “There will
be Alcoholic Beverage Commission
officials on the grounds to enforce
the liquor rules,” said Purdem.
A sailing regatta at Canyon lake
will take place from Friday evening
to Sunday. On Saturday, white
water canoeing begins at 8:30 a.m.
below Canyon Dam finishing at
noon in Cypress Bend Park, New
Braunfels. Team kayak competition

Saturday at 3:30 with individual
