TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1976
William D. Biediger, a freshman
lat Texas A&M, has received the
I second annual four-year $10,000
I scholarship awarded by Purolator
IServices, Inc., New Hvde Park,
In.y.
The scholarship, awarded on the
(basis of scholastic merit to sons and
I daughters of Southeast Asia POWs
land MIAs, was presented to
Biediger today by J • Kevin Murphy,
president of Purolator Services, and
IbyMaj. Gen. John P. Flynn, Com
mander of the Air Force Military
Training Center at Lackland Air
Force Base, San Antonio. The 1976
award was made in the name of
| Flynn, the senior prisoner who was
1 in Southest Asia from October
1967 until the spring of 1973.
“We feel these scholarships are
one small way of honoring Bill
Biediger’s father and the other men
who died or were held as POWs or
MIAs in Southeast Asia for many
years,’ Murphy said. “Purolator
will continue the scholarships until
all children of POWs and MIAs
have passed college age, approxi
mately 1995.’’ The program was
begun in 1975 and provides up to
$2,500 annually over a four-year
period.

Hassle-Free program
concept has grown
[ "Good morning, Mrs. Switzer.
You are looking at Texas A&M Uni
versity’s off-campus students. Their
enemy, isolation from the campus, is
keeping them sadly ignorant ofcam
pus activities. Your mission, should
you decide to accept it, is to sponsor
a program that will relieve them ol
their miseries. Should you or any ol
your IMF workers get caught or kil
led, the secretary will disavow any
knowledge of your actions. Good
luck.”
Karen Switzer, student develop
ment coordinator at A&M, did have
good luck. The Hassle-Free prog
ram, ofwhich she is the sponsor, has
been aiding off-campus students
since the fall of 1975.
The program involves 10 apart
ment complexes in the area: Casa del
Sol, Country Place, Fairway, Old
College Main, Plantation Oaks,
Scandialand II, Tanglewood South,
Travis House, Treehouse and Wil-
lowick.
Hassle-Free operates with the
help of volunteer representatives.
Thejohofthese "reps is to report to
off-campus students about various
campus activities and to act as a
liaison between the students and the
University.
Also, they distribute a monthly
newsletter which gives specific in
formation about campus living. It is
delivered either door-to-door or
through the apartment managers.
Getting the program started was
unbelievable, Switzer said. "People

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
GENERAL ELECTION NOV. 2. 1976
NUMBER ONE
ON THE BALLOT
(S.J.R. 49)
Repealing Sections 49-d
and 49-d-l of Article III
of the Texas Constitution,
S.J.R. 49 amends Section
49-c of Article III of the
Texas Constitution to pro
vide for and authorize an
additional $400 million in
Texas water development
bonds that may be issued
on approval of two-thirds
of the members of each
house of the Legislature
for such water develop
ment purposes as the
Legislature may prescribe.
The amendment con
tains a specific prohibition
against the use of state
funds for the development
of water resources from the
Mississippi River and also
requires that before any
single water development
project may be undertaken
requiring the expenditure
of more than $35 million
in bond proceeds, it must
be approved by resolution
of the Legislature.
The amendment re
moves the constitutional
requirement that certain
revenues must be used to
retire water development
and water quality enhance
ment bonds and removes
the constitutional interest
rate limit on such bonds.
The wording of the pro
posed amendment as it will
appear on the ballot is as
follows:
“The constitutional
amendment authorizing
an increase of $400 mil
lion in the amount of
Texas Water Develop
ment Bonds that may be
issued on approval of
two-thirds of the legis
lature; amending and
consolidating provisions
of Sections 49-c, 49-d
and 49-d-l of Article III
of the Texas Constitu
tion; and repealing Sec
tions 49-d and 49-d-l of
Article III of the Texas
Constitution.”
NUMBER TWO

(H.J.R. 99)
H.J.R. 99 proposes an
amendment to the Texas
Constitution to increase
from $100 million to $200
million the aggregate prin
ciple amount of Texas
water development bonds
which may be issued and
outstanding by the Texas
Water Development Board
to provide grants and loans
for water quality enhance
ment purposes as estab
lished by the Legislature.
The wording of the pro
posed amendment as it will

VA adopts tougher Academically troubled Ags
student-aid policy get aid in WlW ' course
The Veterans Administration has
adopted a new poloey requiring all
students attending college on the GI
Bill to maintain satisfactory
academic standards or risk losing
their government benefits, Gen
Ormond R. Simpson, Texas A&M
University’s assistant vice president
for student services said.
December graduates face
Friday application deadline
said to me. It’s not going to work,
Karen. And while Hassle-Free
has not grown much in size, it has
grown a lot in concept, she
explained.
The program has had a positive
effect on intramurals. "There were
almost twice as many off-campus in
tramural teams last year as the year
before, Switzer said.
Before Hassle-Free existed, there
had not been much input from ofF-
campus students to the University.
"But now, for the first time, I
know how to get a quantity of input
from off-campus students,’’ said
Switzer.
Hassle-Free has also programmed
more apartment activities for the
students. For example, they held a
Casino Night at Plantation Oaks last
year, which Switzer said was a big
success.
Switzer said that for the program
to work, more one-to-one contact
between reps and students is
needed. One of the future aims of
Hassle-Free is toward getting more
people to help.
For those interested in becoming
reps, a training program is being
held on Thursday and Friday, Sept.
16 and 17. Y ' w
in YMCA 108.
For more information, call Karen
Switzer or Tommye Morehead,
coordinator of the program, at 845-

making the same mistakes they
made,’ she said.

The Hewlett-Packard first family of calculators
are in a class by themselves.
Hewlett-Packard built the world’s first
advanced pocket calculator back in 1972.
And led the way ever since.
Today, Hewlett-Packard calculators are
recognized as The First Family by more
than one million owners worldwide. In
cluding Nobel Prize winners, USA-USSR
astronauts, explorers, educators, scientists,
businessmen, and students. Here’s why:
First family design.
Hewlett-Packard was first —and con
tinues to lead —in the translation of state-
of-the-art technology into advanced
calculators.
First family performance.
Hewlett-Packard means the kind of
performance that includes RPN logic with
four-memory stack, a full range of advanced
functions, and much, much more.
First family reliability.
When you buy a Hewlett-Packard
calculator you get one year’s protection on
parts and labor. And a two working-day
turn-around on most repairs.
First family support.
Every calculator comes with its own
comprehensive Owner’s Handbook. In
addition, a complete selection of optional
accessories increases the versatility of the
calculator of your choice. Hewlett-Packard
offers more because Hewlett-Packard’s got
more to offer.

supplies last.
