That is the purpose of the Ameri can Humanics program here. Currently, there are 30 AH members at Texas A&M Univer sity. AH will hold a new student reception next Tuesday at 7:30 p.m., in room 205 of the Memo rial Student Center. Members will review the program and show slides about careers with youth voluntary agencies. Also, members will tell of their experi ences in the program. The AH program, founded 30 years ago, recruits and educates young people for careers in youth agency administration. There are 10 colleges and uni versities involved in the program besides Texas A&M. Once an undergraduate stu dent has chosen an eligible de gree plan at Texas A&M, he may join the program. These majors include recreation and parks, sociology, P.E., agricultural education, management and psychology. The AH resident administrator suggests careers in various agen cies that are relevant to a stu dent’s major. Several voluntary youth serving programs that employ AH graduates are Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, YMCA, YWCA, Campfire Girls, 4-H, Boys’ Club, Girls’ Club, Junior Achieve ment, Big Brothers and Big Sis ters and American Red Cross. These agencies need approxi mately 1,800 new professionals each year. “The humanics program is not well known on campus and through the new student recep tion we hope to reach people whose interests lie in youth de velopment agencies,’’ said Brenda Casimir, student recruit ing chairman for AH. Casimir said that the program provides opportunities for stu dents who are uncertain of which field they want to pursue. She said the program is also helpful to students majoring in areas, such as psychology, which tend to have fewer job openings than other fields. In addition to college elec tives, AH offers a co-curricular program that includes field trips to agency facilities and work shops in which agency profes sionals talk with students. A co-op program is available to students who wish to work one semester in each of four years. One way the program helps career placement is through the publication of a Student Em ployment Prospectus, which is sent to about 300 agencies. It in cludes a description of the stu dent’s training and what type of job he wants. Rogers said the program pre pares students academically through elective course concen tration and helps to actively in volve them in professional agen- Shiner brewery says bill could increase beer price AUSTIN — The small but popu lar south Texas brewery that makes and distributes Shiner beer is using newspaper advertisements in an ef fort to guarantee a large turnout for House debate on legislation oppo nents claim could increase the price of beer and endanger the brewery. Shiner, which has been granted tax breaks by the Legislature in pre vious sessions, used the ads to invite its drinkers to attend today’s House session to watch debate on the bill by Rep. Gibson Lewis, D-Fort Worth, to permit the use of so- called “minibottles” in Texas and prevent direct sales from producers to retailers and consumers. The bill, which cleared the Se nate earlier in the session, requires beer be distributed through wholesalers and retailers, and re quires consumers to purchase only from retailers. In its newspaper ads, Shiner claimed to be a Texas tradition and part of an endangered species — small breweries — and asks voters to help save the species, adding, “After all, you wouldn’t let them tear down the Alamo, would you?” The small breweries also say the bill would do away with the bulk of keg beer sales by prohibiting pro ducers from selling kegs directly to the public. Lewis defended his bill, and ac cused Shiner officials of capitalizing on legislative sympathy for favors in the past, and attempting to do so on this bill. “Shiner is not going to accept any thing fair because they never had to, they’ve always had special favors,” Lewis said. “There’s no way this 1 away with keg beer. The only it does is prohibit them from kegs directly off the dock, ant where they make their b profit.” Lewis said the bill had amended to permit Shiner fe beer directly to retail outletsj than channeling its beer tl wholesalers. “That’s an effort pease Shiner as we have ii done in the five terms I’ve down here. “Rather than buying off the at Shiner, the customer will buying at a retail outlet acres street.” Lewis contends no amoe legislation, or higher prices, is, to discourage Shiner drinken CULPEPPEI celebrates the!
