The police request the name and exact location of the victim, a short account of the injury or in cident, the identity of the caller and his phone number. An Emergency Medical Team is always on standby with a vehi cle with proper emergency equipment to react to such calls. This team will determine if the victim should be transported to the University clinic or to a local hospital. Vice president of Student Ser vices Dr. John Koldus says the University clinic can X-ray for broken bones, run lab tests or examine for other problems. “The clinic cannot do surgery or set broken bones but will examine for serious sprains or st rains,’ Koldus said.

He will appear at the Basement Coffeehouse this Friday and Satur day, his fifth performance at Texas A&M University. Sanders is a folk singer-songwriter who has been “playing music for money since a student at the Uni versity of Houston in 1963. Though he has played spots throughout the country, most of his exposure has been along the Gulf Coast and in central Texas. He lives in Houston a is called the grand old man of folk music in the Montrose area. A few years ago, a Houston Post interviewer called him the “pre miere Houston-based folk singer. Sanders has been busy in the year since his last performance at the Basement. He finished the Texas Commission on the Arts and Na tional Endowment for the Arts musician-in-residence program that took him in the spring of “77 to the Gatesville School for Boys and in the fall to Houston area high schools. “/ was aware that / was becoming, a very, very, good writer..." fie performs every year at the Kerrivfle Folk Festival as a headline act. In addition, this year he joined Steve Fromholz and Gary Nunn as a judge of the "New Folk ” songwriting contest at the festival. He also performed two or three times a week in Houston parks the past two summers doing children s at A&M shows for the Houston Parks De partment. But his latest undertaking, not to mention regular performing in Houston and Austin folk clubs, is marketing his music nationally. The idea is not a new one to Sanders. He’d thought about it for years, even talked about it in interviews, but he had not done anything. “When I was about 29, he said thoughtfully, I suppose I started experiencing that corny passage crisis period. It hit me in two ways simultaneously and Idnda dovetailed into my career and personal life. “I was aware that I was becoming a very, very good writer, technically speaking, but also that I was getting to a point that I didn t have much to write about, except writing and art anti music. “I \'e done this before and it s re ally a vain comparison. Tm not say ing I’m like or as good as Thomas Mann, but Thomas Mann got into writing mostly about people who were writers. Joni Mitchell during a period of her career wrote mostly about being a singer, musician and poet. "This is all very good, but it be comes very sterile and in some ways very distant if you re not very careful about makin it understandable to the public. You become so con sumed with your own world cl art, and so consumed with the process of invention of technical poetry, that it may communicate on some basic level to the public, but only a very minute percentage of the peo pie who hear you will really be into every nuance that you re into.
