More than 5,000 country music sc jockeys converge on Nashville their 25th annual convention, inciding with the Grand Ole Op- r’s 52nd anniversary. Songwriters' ssociations conduct membership Meetings and some of the industry’s ■rgest organizations hand out their Kvn awards. Listening trends are lialyzed at buyers’ seminars.

It the Opry’s 27th birthday in 1952. The Country Music Association was formed shortly after to promote the brand of entertainment once known as “hillbilly music.” Its 5,000 members represent all segments of the $300 million-a-year country music industry centered in Nashville. For the deejays, then, just get ting to go to the Opry was a tremen dous thrill, said an executive in on the* plan. Now the men and women who play records at 1,150 country music radio stations in the U. S. and Canada are wined and dined and given the opportunity to speak with the likes of Loretta Lynn, Kris Kris- tofferson, Chet Atkins, Mac Davis and Tammy Wynette at showcases, huff’e ts, concerts and banquets. Still, the award show to he hosted this year by Johnny Cash is no small matter for those who walk onstage to claim a title voted them by fellow entertainers. The television program itself was watched last year by 41 percent of the national viewing audience, though it was broadcast live oppo site a pro football game and a first run movie. Mel Tillis, who was voted entertainer of the year in 1976 and once considered a singing career out of the question because he stutters, charges those who book him for a Las Vegas concert or a county fair twice as much as he billed before he won the award. Those with a shot at Tillis’ title this year are Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Ronnie Milsap, Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. Rogers, whose wry tune “(You chose a fine time to leave me) Lucille” was nominated for single of the year, album of the year and song of the year, is the only one of the five never before nominated for the entertainer award. Milsap, who is sightless, picked up an award as male vocalist in 1976 and Miss Parton won female vo calist. Haggard won best entertainer once before and Jennings gathered citations in several categories last year. He was nominated this year for five prizes. He plans to boycott the awards program, as he did last year, be cause he disapproves of the compe tition. Jennings’ longhaired lifestyle was considered “progressive” by those in the industry for years and won him status as one of the “Out laws,” the name of a best-selling album he made. Jennings, Milsap and Rogers are also up for male vocalist of the year, together with Larry Gatlin and Don Williams. Their female counterparts are Crystal Gale and Loretta Lynn, who are sisters; Emmylou Harris; Barbara Mandrell and Dolly Parton. All five finalists for instrumen talist of the year are former CMA award winners. They are Chet At kins, Roy Clark, Johnny Gimble, Charlie McCoy and Hargus “Pig” Robbins. Vying for song of the year honors are Kent Robbins for “I’m a Stand By My Woman Man,” Hal David and Archie Jordan for “It Was Al most Like a Song,” Roger Bowling and Hal Bynum for “Lucille,’’ Bobby Emmons and Chips Moman for “Luckenbaeh, Texas,” and Allen Toussaint for “Southern Nights.” Other categories are vocal duo of the year, instrumental group of the year, vocal group of the year, single of the year and album of the year.

The institute is designed to assist ublie librarians in their programs, lorty participants will represent 10 lexas State Library Association sys tem member libraries that serve opulation areas of less than 25,000. The program is structured for par- cipants who have not had formal brary courses nor who have stall rofessionals, according to Jo Berg, >eal arrangements coordinator. Ms. Syd Popinsky of thee Texas tate Library organized the institute icooperation with the Texas A&M mice of Continuing Education and niversity libraries. The four-day institute will enable artieipants to gain understanding ■ the public librarian’s role in serv- '§ community needs. They will he rovided a foundation of basic li- jrary skills and with products to be nptemented. Institute sessions will 'elude community analysis, basic eerence service, program de- elopment, service administration "d finance. The group, supervised by’ Prof. Vergil C. Stover, says that the fig ures presage official studies that will he released by state and govern ment agencies later this year — fig ures that are somewhat different from previous predictions of growth in Bryan-College Station. By 1980 the student population is projected to he 30,632 on the main campus, combining with a resident population of 63,927 for a total of 94,559. Estimates are that the Texas A&M population will level off in 1985 at about 29,247, but the cities total population will continue to grow to 100,098 persons by 1990. The cost of living will also rise steadily, according to the study. The amount the average family will be able to spend will grow from $18,787 in 1978 to $23,425 by 1990. The total amount being pumped into the local community will be $485 million in 1978 which will jump to $710 million by 1990. This is in spite of a relative plateau in the growth of new industry. Businessmen from the area, at tending the presentation, specu lated that minerals, particularly oil, may have a large impact on the community in the coming years, especially between now and 1985. Any such development would prob ably be felt in the north College Sta tion and East Bryan. Research figures show that new homes in the Bryan-College Station are now cost between $30 and $33 per square foot, including land costs. They also note most homes are in the $45,000 to $55,000 brac ket and from 1,500 tol,800 square feet in size. While builders say there is a defi nite market for homes under $40,000, they find it difficult to build for that price blaming the rise in cost for building mater. Projections for the availability of apartment housing show 9,526 multi-family units available, 412 more under construction, and group quarters (in dormitories on the Texas A&M campus) for 8,421. Total surplus units this fall is es timated to be 888 multi-family units; with a larger number of apartment units available in the spring. Rents for these apartments should be about 29e per square foot per month, or approximately $188 per month for a one-bedroom apartment of 650 square feet and $218 for a two bedroom apartment of 750 square feet. Cable breaks, 1,800-foot tower falls United Press International SHREVEPORT, La. — A cable supporting the west corner of KS LA-TV’s transmitting tower broke, toppling the 1,800-foot struc ture, Deputy Sheriff Boh Terof said Sunday. “It’s hard to believe that one guy wire with such a temendous safety factor would bring down the tower,” said KSLA president and general manager Winston Linam Sunday. Sheriffs officers lifted the cable, which was one of 24 supporting the 250 ton tower. “It was just one of those freak ac cidents,” Terof said. “The wire just broke off clean at the base of the tower where it is attached to a con crete block.” The station resumed programing Saturday afternoon, using an auxilary transmitter tower. Sheriffs officers said sabotage was not suspected. Officials also said there was no severe weather in the area. John Hitt, KSLA chief engineer, said the tower was inspected in June and found to be in excellent condi tion. and international student assc. present TUES., WE D., OCT 18 & 19 1 -5 RM.
