Emergency medical care
available to all on campus
By BRIAN BONNET
Battalion Reporter
Emergency medical aid is av
ailable to students living on the
Texas A&M University campus.
The University police should be
notified of the emergency and
they will then call for an
emergency medical team from
the University health center, if it
is needed.
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. Tf transpor
tation to a hospital is necessary.
the clinic will arrange transporta
tion to a hospital.
Two ambulance services are
recommended by the University.
These are College Station Ambu
lance Service, telephone 911, or 9
+ 911 if the call is from the Uni
versity campus and Mid-Tex,
S22-2522. Each charges $35 for-
transportaiton to a local hospital.
Hospitals in the area are St.
Josephs and Bryan. Each hospital
charges $10 for admittance to the
emergency room and requires
the patient or a relative to fill out
the required information and in
surance forms.

Folk singer back
Sanders
By LYLE LOVETT
Battalion Reporter
Don Sanders is back.
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.

A different message
for newcomers from
First National. . .
If you are a newcomer to Bryan or College Station, tliis message is
for you.
The selection of a new bank is one of those decisions few people
seriously consider. After all, most banks are pretty much alike.
First National Bank of Bryan is a little different. And that difference
makes all the difference.
Sure. First National offers all the services of a full-service bank
(checking, savings, installment and commercial loans, trust
department, etc.). But First National gives you first name service.
To learn more about First National, visit our new banking house in
First Place (Texas Avenue midway between Bryan and College
Station).
Get First National going for you.
