Dwight suffers from spinabifida, a disabling condition of the spine. He walked eight mile last year and 10 miles the year before. He walked with the aid of crutches. Dwight, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Dewitt Baker of 601 North Ave. in Bryan, was issued the first sponsor’s form for this year’s 20 mile walk-a- thon at a press conference yester day. Texas A&M University’s coaching staff is serving as Dwight’s sponsors. Athletic Director Emory Bellard asked Dwight how far he planned to walk in this year’s Superwalk. “I will go as far as I can,” he re plied. Dwight’s mother said he became interested in the marathon after hearing the March of Dimes’ slogan, “Walk a mile for the life of a child.” “He walks the distance he can, even when he gets blisters on his hands,” she said. “He gets blisters even if he tapes them. Each year, about a million per sons are hospitalized because of birth defects, Baker said. The Superwalk is the March of Dimes’ largest fund-raising event to help these people, she said. In all, 2,500 walkers are expected to participate. All proceeds will be donated to the Brazos Valley Chapter of the March of Dimes. ion to ock enfa i order eep in i he Su?i icrits i ■ommissit: Student Senate investigates icademic appeals process sterday the kvillseelli r0l court ini (Continued on Page 1.) aid.

At this point all the students, except Mahaney, have dropped the course. “I was too far behind as a result of the 205 class,” Stanfield said yesterday. Three students involved in the case refused or avoided comment, and one was unavailable. Of the six, only Paul Arnett will be delayed from graduating as a result of the incident. He was scheduled to graduate this spring. A committee was formed to study the appeals process of the university. Stanfield was appointed to the commit tee by Student Body President Fred McClure. “I appointed Stan to the committee since he already had an intimate working knpvyledge of the process and might have'a better insight into the problems.’’ McClure, said yesterday. „ fc i The committee will recommend possible changes in the appeals process, but they would not take effect until next year at the earliest, according to McClure.
