The local government proposi tion may fail because of the re organization of government offices, Halter said. Peace Corps alive, well and recruiting By LEE ROY LESCHPER, JR. Battalion Staff Writer The Peace Corps is alive, well, and looking for help. So say rep resentatives who will be recruiting on campus next week. Representatives will be in the first floor MSC corridor Monday through Thursday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day. Representa tives will also be interviewing pros pective volunteers in the Placement Office on the tenth floor of Rudder Tower. Volunteers will be recruited for either a 27 month Peace Corps commitment, or a 13-month tour with Volunteers In Service To America (VISTA), representative Pat Brian said Wednesday. The Peace Corps operates entirely over seas, while VISTA is an inter-USA program. Only graduating seniors and graduate students are eligible for the programs, Brian said. The most desired students are those with specific skills rather than “generalists”, he said. “We don’t train them in a skill,” Brian said. “They have to he qual ified prior to going in, because they’re hopefully going to be in a position to utilize their background or skills. A&M graduate student and Peace Corps representative Phil Leturte said that degrees in agronomy, ani mal science, economics, and civil engineering will almost guarantee a Peace Corps position. 7,600 volunteers are presently working under the overseas prog ram in 63 underdeveloped coun tries in the Caribbean, Central and South America, the Pacific, Africa, and Asia. Cbrps members receive three months of language training and then work for the next two years overseas. All such operations are coordinated and operated through corresponding agencies of that country’s government. For his service, the volunteer re ceives transportation expenses, a living allowance while in the prog ram, and a readjustment allowance about $2000, after leaving the prog- Bonfire nears “The monetary rewards are not there, but I think they are overcome by the other benefits,” said Brian, who spent two years working with agricultural programs in Colombia. He cited exposure to other cul tures, extensive experience in a volunteer’s field, greater self- awareness, and travel opportunities as examples of such benefits. Ecologists, Ags, in environmental battle By DON MIDDLETON Battalion Staff Writer As Thanksgiving Day draws near, the annual battle between zealous bonfire fans and environmentalists begins to shape up. But this year, the defenders of Mother Nature may not have a leg to stand on. In the past few years, the annual bonfire has been criticized as a use less waste of trees by vehement ecologists. Not so say the experts. “At one time this area was grass land that was maintained by periodic natural grass fires,” said Dr. Joseph L. Schuster, head of the Range Science Department. “When man intervened and stop ped the fires, the range was invaded by the brush and scrub trees that are on it now. “The ecological impact of the bon fire is minimal,” Schuster said. I he timber is of little economic value and the pollution created by the burning of natural fuels is negligi ble.” This year, one of the bonfire cut ting areas will be part of a pi oject by flflClAS DE (fflRVfl Recipe n456.78cR The Taxco FlZZ: ★ 2 oz.

The land is located two miles from the campus off Farm Road 2818. The program is under the direc tion of Dr. Jerry Stuth, assistant Professor of Range Science. It will focus on the clearing of the post oak trees and low-lying brush to re create what Stuth referred to as “savannah.” A savannah is a grassy, open range dotted by occasional clumps of trees. According to Stuth and Schuster historical records show this is the condition that charac terized most of South-Central Texas before man began using the land for agricultural purposes. Once cleared, the land will be used for teaching and demonstra tion purposes. Classes in Range Ecology as well as those dealing with range vegetation, weed and brush control and range manage ment will use the site as a laborat ory. “We re looking at the area as a place to study the natural succession of plants in a grassland and the com petition of the various species,” Stuth said. “We ll also be studying the effect of fires and granulated herbicides as methods of brush con trol. The Range Science department will be supervising the cutting in co-operation student bonfire per sonnel headed by senior Clayton Kennedy. A buffer zone around the area will be left in ah effort to avoid unauthorized use oh the land. The student body will provide the labor and the equipment for the op eration. The Range Science De partment will supply the technical assistance to insure the land is cleared properly. y JOSE CUERVO* TEQUILA. 80 PROOF IMPORTED AND BOTTLED BY ©1975.
