Health program begins
A
Teachers of post-secondary
health programs start a one-week
workshop today at Texas A&M
University.
The Health Occupations Edu
cation Workshop will involve 100
participants from licensed vo
cational nursing programs and
community colleges. It is con
ducted twice a year, in February
and November, to develop
teaching competency.
The workshop is sponsored by
the Vocational Industrial teacher
Education Training Division of
the Texas Engineering Extension
Service, part of the Texas A&M
University System.
Division head Eugene Fisher
said 100 participants will be in
one of three simultaneously con
ducted phases of the program.^
Sessions in the Rudder Tower
will cover methods of teaching,
curriculum development and a
third area — split between de
velopment and utilization of
visual aids and the aims and ob
jectives of vocational education
in health occupations.
Instruction will be presented
by seven members of the Exten
sion Service division. The work
shops are conducted in coopera
tion with the Texas Education
Agency.

By TIM RAVEN
A speedy decision by the College
Station City Council Thursday sent
a request for $302,000 on its way to
the Department of Housing and
Urban Development. The funds are
to be used to set up a Community
Development fund for the im
provement of four designated low-
income areas and street improve
ment.
The council was urged to the
quick decision by Community De
velopment Planner Jim Callaway
because of impending deadlines set
by HUD.
A part of the program is linked to
a rent-subsidy program, Section 8,
which was designed to limit housing
expenditures of low to moderate-
income families to 25 percent of
their income. Section 8 will no
longer exist as of March 31,
way said, but the city will still be
able to obtain funds for the de
velopment project.
The council was forced to hold an
unscheduled public hearing on the
matter. Speed and complexity of the
council’s preceeding discussion ap
parently confused those present.

prehend it,” Councilman Jim

Fr. James Moore, Chaplain
Dozier said. Members of the council
also expressed some confusion over
some details of the program. Con
flicting information had been given
to the council by HUD concerning
the use and availability of the funds
under Section 8. The council asked
Callaway to look into the matter fur
ther.
Help for low to moderate-income,
owner-occupied housing could
come in one of several different
forms, he said. One program men
tioned was a grant program whereby
low-income home owners could re
ceive up to $2,000. This money
could be used to minimize health
and safety hazards in the home, Cal
laway said.
Callaway also suggested two other
programs providing for low-interest
loans through either private inter
ests, or through other national-level
loan programs. In this case, the
$69,000 allotted to this program
would provide security for the
loans.
“Obviously there wouldn’t be too
many (direct grants) with $69,000,
he said.
This type of aid will be directed
toward four primarily black com
munity development neighbor
hoods.
One area is located just north of
Texas Avenue and just south of Uni
versity Drive. Another area, known
as the Richards addition, runs along
Texas Avenue between Richards
and Sterling Streets. The third

All Ye Jousts ’n Bouts
Congratulations to all you
knights of the round table who
I competed in the first day of bouts
in the annual fencing contest held
Saturday, February 4. Competi
tion began at 9:00 a.m. and lasted
until 6:00 p.m. The sixteen
entrants were divided into two
pools of eight persons. Each com
petitor fenced one bout with each
of the other contestants in his
pool. Two sets of 56 preliminary
| bouts were fought.
The top four competitors from
each pool went to the finals where
56 bouts were fought, each com
petitor fencing all the others round
robin style. The final standings
were based on the number of
victories and defeats. Ties we^e
broken by calculation of the differ
ence in the 'number of hits given
and the number received. Each
bout was judged by a director who
made all the final decisions and
four observers, one posted in each
corner who reported to the direc
tor on difficult decisions so be
could have different perspectives
on the moves.
So, congrats, showers of flow
ers, and your favorite lady’s hand
kerchief to the following winner of
the coveted IM t-shirt:
No. 1 Mark Snedegar — 6
victories, 1 defeat
runner up -
No. 2 Richard Vance — 5
victories, 2 defeats
Question: What can be tall or
short, thin or musclebound, male
or female, youngish or older,
blonde, brunette, redhead, or al
bino, but always wears black and
white stripes?
Answer: Either a strange new
herd of zebras or an IM referee.
Any student at A&M can be a
referee if they like sports, can put
up with some non-sportsmanlike
conduct now and then, and has
some spare time to devote to being
a ref. The first step is to mosey on
down to the IM Office at DeWare
Fieldhouse and ask to see James
Welford. He will let you fill out
the forms and wallah! — you are
on your way.
The next step is to attend the
clinics held for the particular sport
you are officiating. In-class clinics
and outside actual practices are
held. Officials are also required to
take a take-home exam and a writ
ten test given during the clinic.
During season play, officials are
required to attend weekly meet
ings where problems, attitudes,
games, and unusual plays are dis
cussed.
The referees are rated by the
supervisors who are in charge of
the games each time they work.
Teams are also given a chance to
rate the official, and he gets to rate
the team on attitudes, sportsman
ship, and conduct. Refs work on a
point system which consists of the
ratings, grades on the take-home
and written exams, and on the
number of meetings and clinics at
tended. These points apply to the
refs pay rate, rating compared
with other referees, and the
number of games he officiates.
Referees make between $2.30
and $2.85 a game, but they some
times only work one game a night.
Schedules are worked around the
student’s hours. Officials are also
matched up with games, and
“rookies” almost always work with
veteran officials.
Most refs are into officiating for
the love of sports, the fun of it, and
to do something for the students of
A&M. The better officials can, and
some do, call for high school
games.
In the spring time, at the annual
IM steak fry, the IM staff presents
three awards — one for the rookie
of the year, one for the best all-
around referee of the year, and
one for the veteran of the year. To
be eligible, the officials must have
worked basketball, football,
softball, or volleyball. The best
all-around ref must have worked at
least two of these sports.

You’ve come a long way baby —
from peach basket goals to modern
day basketball and all of its var
iations. The free throw contest is
one of the record-setting varieties.
It is a contest of seeing how many
baskets can be made in a row from
behind the free shot line.
Tonight, IM is sponsoring
A&M’s version of this contest. Ap
proximately 250 entrants are ex
pected to appear at the G. Rollie
White Coliseum main floor at 7:00
p.m. Thirty-six of the entrants are
women. The contest is an indi
vidual event, but any three parti
cipants may also add their points
together to form a team. Teams
may be formed from already
entered individuals at the contest.
There will be a men’s team, wo
men’s team, and co-rec team
champ. In the individual competi
tion, there will be a men’s and
women’s champ.
Each individual will get 20
shots, which will give each team a
possible 60 points. Scores are
computed on how many shots are
made out of that 20. Persons scor
ing on all 20 shots will continue
shooting until they miss. Six bas
kets will be in use with one referee
at each basket. Participants will
take turns retrieving the ball.
Balls will be furnished but con
testants may bring their own offi
cial game ball if preferred. Contes
tants are asked to be prompt. IDs
will be required.
If you are a record setter or
would like to break one, here are
the standing free throw records for
TAMU: Most free throws in a royv:
Men: Bob Kelly for the PE
Grads in 1975 with 46
points.
Women: Beverly Baum for the
BSU in 1977 with 18
points.
Highest Team Total:
Men: The PE Grads in 1975
with 56 points.
Women: Superstars in 1977
with 38 points.
Co-Ree; The BSU in 1977 with
