Loupot’s Bookstore Northgate- Across from the Post Office Farm to be foster home By CHRIS PlCCIONE Still Creek Christian Farm will become the new home for seven fos ter children when the housing facilities are completed next year. The Still Creek Farm is a 117-acre tract located on the northwest edge of Byran, directly off Sandy Point Road. The purpose of the farm is to help meet the needs of young people and allow for development of personal responsibility, good work habits, and fellowship. The Answer, a non-profit organi zation located on University Drive, has owned and operated Still Creek Farm since 1976. During the summer, the farm employs young people in a Summer Work Program. In addition to these 20 youths, seven foster children from the wel fare department will be living at Still Creek permanently. Seven to 12 children, adopted and living together, comprise a “fos ter group home.” If more than 12 children are adopted at once to live together they are considered to be living in an institution and must meet the specified licensing standards. Supervising the children will be a husband and wife team of the An swer counseling service, said Bobby Hubley, Answer program coor dinator. Wayne Brunt, 15, another sum mer worker said, “It’s really good to have responsibility like this. I feel like it’s getting me ready for other jobs later on.” The cost for restoring and furnish ing Still Creek Farm will be approx imately $100,000. It will cost an additional $3,000 a month to feed and house the seven foster children and pay live-in supervisors. [football game shuttl considered for 1979 The foster children will work in the 7-acre produce garden with the Summer Work Program youths. “We want to create a family situa tion, combining personal counseling and family care,” Hubley said. John Huff, who participated in the Summer Work Program last summer, said he carried water for irrigating cedar trees, cleaned up old boards for use in building, picked and cleaned vegetables, and dug fence post holes. “Three thousand is a lot of money, but it’s hard to put a price on helping a person,” Hubley said. The state pays $2,000 annually to the parents who adopt foster chil dren. This amount does not include the cost of clothing or medical ex penses. The farm will be financed by do nations. It is also seeking aid from federal grants, such as the Moody Foundation, Hubley said. So far, less than $1,000 has been collected. By LAURA HENDERSON A shuttle bus to home football games for off-campus students may be in operation by the fall semester of 1979, said Mary Hutchison, chairman of the foot ball busing committee for the Off Campus Student Association. OCSA conducted a survey the week before spring break to measure student reactions to shuttle bus service to football games or midnight yell practice. Now OCSA will continue re search and present plans for a service to University officials later this year. About 800 students partici pated in the survey, said Hutchi son. “There were few responses from on campus students, ski said. The original shuttle bus, was to provide transportation f» off-campus students to ho® football games and midnight yel practices, said Mike Mitchel, OCSA president. Hutchison said the sum) showed 700 students were in terested in the shuttle to footbal games. About 400 were terested in it for transportation)! midnight yell practices, she said The program still needs ffloti research, said Mitchell. OCSA is in the process d doing reserach on successful shuttle bus systems at other uni versities in Texas. The Battalion Classified ATTENTION MAY GRADUATES!
