Debbie Callaway, who is in charge of the BVDC alcohol and drug planning programs, said the alcoholism committee met Wednesday to discuss procedures to set up the halfway house. The proposed halfway house will accommodate up to eight men and two women, she said, and will handle outpatients. Callaway said the facility would be located in some existing two- story house, if possible. That would save time and money in starting she said. lences Bllildi;.: s Peak on "Ho, -inonstratiom Zachry, 1 510, Rudd,, -Bug on "ft ‘he All Fail P-m. in ] i Gliders Cl in at 4 p.m nmunicatioiB 7:30 p.m. ii THE BATTALION Pag* 11 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19. 1978 But the program is not a sure thing yet, she said. Money has not been secured for the halfway house, and the BVDC will not have a chance to submit an application for state and federal funds before Sept. 1, 1979. The request will not be reviewed by the Texas Com mission on Alcoholism until January 1980, she said. Callaway said it’s unknown how much money will be needed be cause plans are still not completed. She said there is a need for a halfway house in the Bryan-College Station area. In the seven-county region the BVDC serves, there are almost 160,000 people. National figures say 7 percent of the population has alcohol prob lems, Callaway said. The area already has an outpatient capacity in the Brazos Valley Mental Health-Mental Retardation Center and a permanent residence-type program at Twin Cities Mission. The halfway house will not include a drunk tank or any facility for handling detoxification, or “drying out.” A&M police add new cops, cars Aggie Tidbits By CARL KEY Battalion Reporter Seven officers who joined the Texas A&M University Police this semester completed schooling re quired for state certification Friday. The state Law Enforcements Standards Commission requires 240 hours of classes for police to be given a basic degree. There are also intermediate and advanced degrees. The officers must also serve a year on a police force before they can re ceive the certification. Classes in the school cover topics in criminial justice, basic law, police precedureS, traffic control, and community relations. Two of the new officers, Debra Howell and Jo Anna Dubcak, are women. The department now has four women officers. “Our female officers have done a bang-up job for us,” said Thomas R. Parsons, director of security and traffic for Texas A&M.

They will be assistant patrol supervisors. One of the positions was awarded to a woman, Josey Hoelscher. The new officers are William Ed ward Woods, Thomas Glenn Stone, Bennie James Schertz, Debra Alice Howell, Donald Abner Arnold, Luther Wayne O’Banion and Jo Anna Dubcak. University Police received three low-mileage patrol cars and one sedan in September to replace the “old clunkers with tom seats, which were broken as much as they ran,” Parsons said. * HATE DOINO « LAUNDRY?

LIVEMUSI^ STAKTIKq AT 6*00 # PLAIN TALK FROM ARMCOON FINDING A JOB: How hiring you can cost somebody $45,300 93,000,000 Americans now hold jobs. But that won’t mean much when you look for a job, yourself. You’ll have tough competition. You’re among 17,000,000 more Americans looking for work over the next ten years. That’s how many new jobs America must create, including yours. It’s going to cost a lot of money. Before you get a dime of salary, whoever hires you will have to buy tools, office space, factory equipment and buildings—the things it takes to let you do your job. The average cost to companies is now $45,300 for each job. We don’t mean you can’t be hired until your employer finds exactly $45,300. You might walk into an existing job. But don’t count on it. Not with 17,000,000 competitors. Some companies can hire you for less than $45,300. But others—heavy industry, for instance—need much more. At Armco, our cost is now $57,520 a job. That money must come from whatever a company has left over after expenses. In other words, from profits. A company might borrow against future profits to make you a job. But still, profits pay for jobs because that’s the only source companies have. If you asked your friends how much the average U.S. company clears in profits on each dollar of sales, chances are many of them would guess 25<£ or more. The truth is 5<£ or less. That’s not much to put to work to make new jobs. Plain talk about PROFITS Over our company’s 78-year history, Armco has averaged 5<£ profit on each dollar of sales. We pay out part of our earnings immediately in dividends to Armco’s 100,000 share holders. So out of each nickel, we have perhaps 3C left to invest in new jobs. Building $57,520 jobs—3<C at a time—is tough. At this rate, we must sell another $1,918,000 worth of products and ser vices to clear enough money for a single new job. That’s why better profits are important. They make more jobs. Even Government jobs. The Government’s money comes from taxes on all of us who work. Next time some know-it-all sneers at business, ask him what he’d do without it. He’s sneering at his own job chances, and yours. Let us hear YOUR plain talk about jobs! We’ll send you a free booklet if you do Does our message make sense to you? We’d like to know what you think. Your personal experiences. Facts to prove or disprove our point. Drop us a line.
