Individual citizens, however, are

The dues are based on the number
ffull-time personnel the store
iploys. Membership dues for a
usiness with one to four persons
nployed are $60 per year. Busines-
s with 175 to 200 employees pay
152 annually.
Balmain would not release f igures

A business must be inv ited to join
the Better Business Bureau.
“Not all businesses are invited to
join. We first check into the
businessman’s background in the
town from which he came,’ Bussell
says. “Then there is a six-month
period which the businessman has to
he open before he will he invited to
join.
A member must meet certain BBB
standards. He must he willing to
supply background information on
his company, cooperate with the
bureau s activities and efforts to
promote voluntary self-regulation,
respond to all complaints and supply
upon request the evidence that any
advertisinq or selling claim is based
upon.
If a member violates these stan
dards, the hoard of directors will ask
him to resign from his the member
ship.
“We have had several businesses
whom we have had to drop from the
membership because they did not
answer complaints against them,
Bussell says.
One of Balmain s duties as execu
tive director is to visit new busines
ses in town and introduce them to
the Better Business Bureau.
“I go out to some businesses and
some come to me, Balmain says.
Despite the BBB s efforts, a
number of students do not get results
from their services.
Chris Kling, student legal adviser,
says many students come to him after
first having been to the bureau. The
BBB collects students complaints,
Kling says, hut rather than take ac
tion, they send students to the legal
adviser.

NAVY. IT'S NOT JUST A JOB,
IT'S AN ADVENTURE.
In the Navy, a job means more than just a good paycheck.
It means the adventure of seeing places like Greece,
Spain, Hawaii and Hong Kong. It means becoming an
expert on exciting technical equipment in our submarines,
on our jets, and in our ships. It means doing a job that
really counts, with people who count on you to do it.
The Navy can give you training in more than 60 career
fields. Talk it over with your Navy recruiter. He’ll be able
to tell you what you can qualify for in the Navy.

counselors visit
Twenty counselors from Spring
Branch School District, which in the
past two years has supplied about
eight percent of Texas A&M Uni
versity’s freshmen enrollment, met
with campus officials Friday in a
special information program.
In welcoming the counselors to
Texas A&M, Dean of Admissions
and Records Ed Cooper said of
Spring Branch students, “Their suc
cess reflects their preparation and
they are excellently prepared in
your school system. They’re the
kind of student any university would
he proud to enroll.’’
SBISD asked for the special pres
entation for its counselors in order
to better equip them to advise their
charges.
Cooper said that Spring Branch
and Han is County account for more
than 6,000 of the current 29,414
enrollment at Texas A&M and that
9,000 former students now live in
Harris County.
In other portions of the day-long
program, the counselors heard
presentations by Texas A&M offi
cials on admission policy, academic
counseling, student life, housing,
ROTC and Corp of Cadets oppor
tunities, medical education and
general information on the univer
sity.

Proposition 6
Will Make
Banking Easier
fbr^bu.
Already, legislation in forty-four states enables banks to provide
electronic bank services, giving their customers an optional method of
banking that saves time and money. It’s time Texans took action to
put banking services everywhere we need them. When we need them.
And the following members of our community agree. They’re
actively supporting Proposition No. 6.
