' QUALITY FIRST'
Fifteen year ago Jim and Mary Robinette began a project of collect
ing candy for the retarded children at Austin State School. The
project has grown into an annual tradition.
They used to collect leftover Halloween candy and take it to the
school for the Christmas season. They have a 21-year-old son who
resides at the school.
Today, the Robinettes are still collecting candy, but not in open
boxes at schools and super markets anymore. When the threat of
adulterated candy became too great, they decided to establish a fund
to which people could donate money and allow the Robinettes to
purchase the candy in unopened packages.
Each year the project has grown, and now the Army Reserve Unit
helps the Robinettes by storing the candy and delivering it to the
school when they make trips to Austin.
An ironic note to this project is that the Robinette son will not be
able to benefit from the candy. He has been diagnosed as having
hypoglycemia and can’t have sweets. But 1,200 children can enjoy a
Merry Christmas, thanks to the candy from the people of Bryan-
College Station.
A fund has been established at the University National Bank, in
care of John Birkner. Checks can be made to “Retarded Children,
State School, Candy Fund” or sent to the Robinettes, Route 5, Box
1180, Bryan 77801. It is a year round fund and contributions are tax
deductible. The Austin School will send its IRS number to all con
tributors.

By SUSAN SHILLINGS

Tim Snyder and his team won the award last year by disguising
their booth as a big tent with a tarp over it and dressed themselvess
cowboys wearing chaps.
Carol Weed’s Peruvian? won in the open group, and the ovenl
title. Weed said, “Our team was just ecstatic and so pleased thatw
won. We used three different meats, two kinds of beef and one poil
chocolate, rum, and the basic ingredients used in chili.”
Weed said her team decided on the name “Peruvian?” becaust
that was the name of a coprolite sample brought in an anthropolop
lab six years ago. A coprolite is a fossilized dung speciman. Weed
on the staff in the department of anthropology.

Shroud data to take
two years to compile
United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It will
take about two years to compile the
data gathered last month during a
scientific study of the Shroud of Tu
rin, a cloth some persons believe
Jesus Christ was buried in, several
United States’ scientists involved in
that study said Tuesday.
An American team of scientists
joined scientists from several other
countries in Italy last month in a hall
of Turin’s 17th-century Royal Palace
to begin studying the shroud. Five
members of the United States team
Tuesday held their first news con
ference since returning from Italy.
Kenneth Stevenson, an employee
of IBM’s data processing division in
Pittsburg and team spokesman, said
scientists ended up with 130 per
cent of the data they had set out to
gather. He said the amount of data
was so sizable it might take as long
as two years to compile.
Stevenson said results would be
released at one time so no one
would jump to conclusions on an in
complete picture of the study. The
American team took hundreds of
pictures utilizing 10 bands of light
and a variety of techniques. One
member estimated it would require
about three hours to analyze each of
those photographs.
Stevenson said no interim conclu
sions would be released for that rea-
Two members, Dr. John Jati
and Dr. Eric Jumper, discrn
their work building a thi
dimensional object from an imaj

members displayed a head that!
said was modeled after studi
photographs taken in 1933.
Stevenson said the Shroui
