Discounts help students, merchant^
But you might have to. You might not be able to
afford them. Right now new ones can run $15 to $50
a pair. Who knows how much they’ll be next month.
A part-time job as a Provident Mutual campus
insurance agent can make sure you always have the
money you need. While it lets you work
the hours you want.
Drop by our campus office and let’s discuss fitting
our program into your schedule.
Tired of outrageous prices, surly
sales people and “Student, go
home” treatment? Te*as A&M Uni
versity’s Student Government may
have an answer.
Student Government’s Business
and Consumer Relations Commit
tee has released its 1977-78 student
purchase program booklet, filled
with discounts, money-saving
coupons and consumer tips.
Under the student purchase pro
gram, local businesses agree to offer
discounts or coupon specials to
Texas A&M students, committee
chairman Jeb Hensarling said. In
exchange for those discounts, each
business is listed in the booklet
which the consumer committee dis
tributes free to students each fell.
This year’s booklet contains about
20 per cent more discounts than last
year’s book, which was the first pur
chase program booklet published in
recent years, Hensarling said.
The program helps both students
and local businesses, he said. Stu
dents receive discounts they other
wise wouldn’t get on a wide variety
of merchandise and services, and

Probe uncovers $1.1 million
United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Cancelled
checks held in Securities and Ex
change Commission files reveal that
three key promoters of the bankrupt
Progressive Farmers Association re
ceived more than $1.1 million either
through direct payments or through
complicated corporate dealings be
fore the company collapsed.
The cancelled checks, represent
ing the bulk of the $1.6 million sub
poenaed by the SEC’s investigation
into possible securities violations by
the PEA, revealed that:
V Donald E. Burks, former PEA
president, was paid at least
$502,000 in salaries or to his corpo
ration;
V Darence Cloninger, a PEA
sultant considered one of the “Big
Four,” was paid at least $343,000;
V Carle Bledsoe Jr., another
former PFA president, received at
least $306,(MX).
Examination of the 1,500 checks
by reporters of the Kansas City Star
and Times was made possible by
special authorization by PFA trustee
Richard Farrington.
The checks were being held by
SEC officials in Chicago, where
SEC attorney Peter B. Shaeffer has
been leading the investigation of the
Springfield, Mo., corporation.
Investigators emphasized the
checks could not be considered a
complete history of PFA business
arrangements, nor could they tell
the story of how PFA became finan-

checks do not differentiate between
salaries, commissions or expenses.
However, they show the location
of at least part of the money in
vested by more than 8,000 Missouri
investors — people who stand to get
only pennies back for the thousands
poured into PFA coffers.
Authorities allege that those in

paying hundreds of dollars a year to
the PFA in hopes of eventual finan

never intended to provide.
The largest single check in the
SEC files was written for $98,534.42

came three days after Burks re

LOS ANGELES — Sheriffs offi
cers yesterday were awaiting word
from Texas officials on possible ex
tradition proceedings against a
woman suspected of imprisoning
mentally deficient and disabled per
sons and taking their pension
checks.
Lillian Gobert, 42, was arrested
Friday at the home of a relative. She
had been sought since last Sunday
when 13 unwashed, under
nourished and allegedly mistreated
Californians were freed from her
three-bedroom home near Whar
ton, Tex.
Attorney Rose Hemperley said
Mrs. Gobert, who was jailed with
out bond on unlawful imprisonment
charges, would fight the extradition
and would seek release on “more
reasonable” bond than the $120,000
figure recommended by Texas au
thorities.
“She tells a totally different story
about the case,” Ms. Hemperley
said.
A spokesman for Los Angeles
County Sheriffs Department said
its role was to arrest and hold Mrs.
Gobert and “the rest is up to the
Texas people. ” The spokesman said
extradition could be requested this
week.

In Texas, a second woman, Lee

with unlawful imprisonment and
jailed in lieu of $60,000 bond. De

absence.
Another suspected conspirator,
Elmer A. Tompkins, 34, of Van
Nuys, Calif., who described himself
to deputies as “cook and flunky,’’
remained jailed in lieu of $60,000
