Private enterprise is alive and
well on the Texas A&M University
campus in the basement of the
Memorial Student Center. Emilio
Garcia manages the MSC Beauty
Shop, which is a small private busi
ness with a very impressive land
lord.
The director of business services.
Chuck Cargill, says Texas A&M
leases the business space to Garcia
without intervening in the business
itself.
“The University makes it a point
not to get involved with the internal
workings of the business but,
rather, takes the role of a landlord if
the roof leaks or something,” he
said.
Garcia and two other licensed
operators, Frankie Williams and
John Wick, are the only employees
of the three-stooled shop. The usual
cut, blow-dry and permanent
beauty salon services are offered at
the three-year-old shop which is
open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays
through Fridays and 9 a.m. to 2
p.m. on Saturdays.
His prices are comparable to
those of other area salons, with oc
casional adjustments made for the
sake of competition.
University students and MSC
employees are the main MSC
Beauty Shop customers, but Garcia
notes an increased business load
during football season.
“Visitors from the MSC Hotel
come here instead of looking around
for a beauty shop that they mi^it
not know,” he said.
Garcia, Williams and Wick, to
gether, handle about 60 customers
daily, but Garcia says the beginning
of the semester has been relatively
slow. The shop makes about $1,000
per week with a small percentage
going to the MSC for rent of the
building space.
Bill Hesel, manager of the uni
versity center, calls the concept of a
beauty salon within the MSC
“somewhat of an afterthought.” In
the mid-’60s a long-range planning
project for expansion of the MSC
began. At that time there was no
area specified to become a beauty
shop. Planning continued and the
current beauty shop space was allo
cated for “whatever might be
needed in the future.” In 1974 a de
cision was made to open a beauty
salon adjacent to the MSC Barber
Shop and the space went up for bid.
Cargill feels the beauty shop is
better off in the hands of someone
with incentive. He says the univer
sity center is by no means making
any significant financial gains with
the shop’s monthly percentage; but
instead, “the MSC Beauty Shop is
there as a service.”
Innovative training programs in
non-traditional vocational areas will
be the focus of the Special Programs
Training Division, the newest divi
sion of the Texas Engineering Ex
tension Service, said EES Director
Jim Bradley.
EES 16th division will concen
trate on areas such as personal fi
nancial management, education for
the handicapped, vocations for wo
men, pre-retirement planning, and
other vocational training.
Our training division will sup
port the EES philosophy of taking
programs to the marketplace where
they are the most effective,” said
Pat Turner, head of the new divi
sion.
‘We will assess the special train
ing needs of a private business, in
dustry or governmental agency and
tailor a training program to meet
these needs, she added. “Training
will be organized around immediate
needs and will assist in dealing with
immediate problems to secure im
mediate results.”
A key area of emphasis will be
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973. It addresses non-

United Press International
FEDERAL WAY, Wash. —
Lucia Doyle, a 5-year-old kin
dergarten student at Nautilus
Elementary School, ran out of
ideas for her weekly show-and-
tell session until she remem
bered her new father.
There’s a rule that all show-
and-tell items must be in a bag
and sit on the shelf during class,
but that didn’t stop her.
Nor did it stop her new daddy
— Bonn Doyle. Though he’s
6-foot-4, he went along with the
idea and trooped into class
Monday in a large paper bag on
which was written: “Here goes

Lucia’s daddy.’
Doyle, who married Lucia’s
mother five months ago, went
along with the bag idea, hut said
he didn’t think it was a good idea
to sit on the shelf.
EES adds training programs
discrimination on the basis of hand
icap in programs and activities re
ceiving or benefiting from federal
financial assistance.
“We will provide training which
will permit an organization to
evaluate facilities and programs to
see if they are in compliance with
Section 504, and to determine
needed policy changes and outline
the most effective method of im
plementing them,” Turner said.
Addition of the division broadens
the base of Extension Service pro
grams, said Bradley.
Turner joined the EES staff’ Jan.
1, 1978, after eight years of profes
sional experience in development
programming and continuing educa
tion. Her last position was associate
director of community service at El
Centro College in Dallas. She or
ganized and directed programs in
business management, personal fi
nance, real estate, visual arts and
crafts, office occupations, human
development, vocations, communi
cation and women’s studies.
The Texas Engineering Extension
Service is part of the Texas A&M
University System.
