SAN ANTONIO — Although out-of-staters have
bought Lone Star Brewing Co., officials say there
won’t be any changes in its. beer, garish souvenirs
or promotions of things Texan.
Fans of the local brew still will be able to attetnd
Lone Star-backed armadillo beauty contests,
greased pig catches, cowchip tosses, watermelon
seed-spitting contests, chili cookoffs and raucous
music concerts and dances.
Those with a flare for dramatizing their favorite
brew also can purchase red, black or blue turtle,
anteater or classic calf boots with big stars on the
sides, along with matching dude hats, a six-pack
hat rack to hang it on, vests or a belt buckle with a
built-in church key.
This month shareholders of the 37-year-old
company approved becoming a wholly owned sub
sidiary of Olympia Brewing Co., the nation’s
seventh-largest brewer headquartered in Olym
pia, Wash.
Simultaneously, big-game hunter and former
state wildlife commissioner Harry Jersig ended 27
years as head of the corporation that grew from a
39,000-barrel-a-year operation to a 1.4 million
barrel brewery since it was established in 1940.
Olympia officials decided to leave management
of the brewery to present Lone Star officials, ac
cording to Barry Sullivan, one of three officials
who will share Jersig’s former responsibilities.
“You damn right we are. You bet,’’ Sullivan said
when asked if Lone Star plans to continue promot
ing such Texas pastimes as racing turkeys or craw-
dads. “We just had a meeting yesterday with
Olympia, and we re going just as hard as we ever
went.”
Sullivan says his beer is so much a part of Texas
that 20 singers and groups mention Lone Star in
their record albums.
“We want people to think about — whether it’s
a turkey trot or chili bust — when they’re away
from the ashphalt jungle and letting it all hang out,
we re part of that,” Sullivan said.

street clashes in Spain’s restive Bas
que region.
Most of Spain’s remaining politi
cal prisoners — an estimated 200 —
are Basques, accused or convicted
of acts of violence during the rule of
the late GeneralissimoFrancisco
Franco.
In Madrid, the Executive Board
of the main opposition alliance, the
Platform of Democratic Organiza
tions, met to hear reports on negoti
ations Tuesday between Premier
Adolfo Suarez and an opposition
delegation demanding the release of
the prisoners and the legalization of
all parties, including the Com
munists.
Suarez told the politicians in the
th ree-hour meeting that his gov
ernment was studying the two prob
lems “in depth.” A spokesman for
the opposition delegation said
Suarez spoke of an amnesty plan
that would “please some people but
not others.”
Yesterday, riot police and dem
onstrators who erected barricades,
battled in the industrial belt of Bil
bao for the third consecutive day of
protests against the detention of
political prisoners.

Zaire volcano kills 2,000
United Press International
KINSHASA, Zaire — A volcanic erup
tion has killed nearly 2,000 persons in
eastern Zaire, officials in the region said
today.
The long-dormant Nyragongo volcano,
near the town of Coma in the eastern Kivu
province, began erupting Monday. Today
two new volcanoes started erupting in the
same region, on the shores of Lake Kivu,
where mountains tower more than 14,500
feet.
Kivu provincial officials confirmed the
estimate of a death toll of nearly 2,000
made by diplomatic officials in Kinshasa.
Details of precisely where and how the
victims were killed were not immediately
available.
But the official reports said thousands of
Africans from Coma and the nearby region
of Zaire — the former Belgian Congo —
were fleeing across the adjacent border
into the small neighbor states of Rwanda
and Burundi.

John Ribbe is shown making adjustments on
the radar antenna of a model that duplicates a
facility located in the city of Belmopan, the
capital of Belize in Central America. The
propellor at right powers the wind tunnel that
will produce hurricane force winds on the
building and antenna to see if it can survive
such forces.
Belize winds studied
Researchers at the Texas A&M
University wind tunnel have fallen
heir to a project via a tangled tale.
It seems that a young Aggie
joined the Peace Corps and was sent
to spread his knowledge in Belize
(formerly British Honduras). The
government there had a
meteorological radar set installed
that they feared might be carried
away by the hurricanes that dump
up to 156 inches of rain on Belize
each year.
The former student, aware of
Texas A&M’s research facilities,
acted as an intermediary and, as a
result, the model of the radar facil
ity is currently in the University’s
seven-by-ten foot wind tunnel.
“The project, funded through the
Belize Ministry of Works, will du
plicate the forces of winds on the
structure of 120, 150 and 180 miles
per hour,” said principal inves
tigator John Ribbe.

A PRACTICAL WAY TO FINANCE EDUCATION
Army R 0 T C
Newsbeat
©
Each year, millions of
young men and women enter
colleges and universities
and work toward degrees in
their chosen fields of study.
Some of these students are
lucky enough to have par
ents who can afford to foot
the bill. Others don’t. So
they must consider the fin
ancial options open to them.
One is applying for higher
education loans with their
soaring interest rates. An
other way is to nearly de
plete the family savings
account or, to be one of the
chosen few who are asked
to participate in a work/
study program on campus.
Scholarships are yet an
other option. To those few
who are awarded full or
partial scholarships an aura
of esteem is bestowed.
In fact, most families
whose income is between
$10,000 and $30,000 feel
the pinch. But since their
income bracket is “con
sidered high,” their chil
dren are not eligible for
higher education assistance
at the schools they’re at
tending.
What some students are
discovering are the oppor
tunities available through
Army ROTC scholarships.
Each year four-year scholar
ships are awarded to many
high school graduates who
will be attending one of the
more than 250 colleges and
universities across the
country which host the Army
ROTC program.
There are also three- and
two-year scholarships avail
able. As a matter of fact,
there are about 6,500 Army
ROTC cadets attending col
lege on full-tuition scholar
ships. That’s about one out
of every seven cadets.
Aside from full-tuition,
Army ROTC scholarships
also pay for all books, lab
oratory fees and education-
related expenses. An added
bonus to scholarship recipi
ents is a $100 a month sub
sistence allowance for up to
10 months of each school
year the scholarship is in
effect.
It stands to reason that
students must be in good
academic standing. Last
year all those awarded
scholarships were in the top
20 percent of their class.
But what is more important
is the leadership potential
of the student as evidenced
during his high school
years.
For those interested in the
Army ROTC program and its
merit scholarships call or come
