Strommer, associate dean of the TAMU College of Liberal Arts on
Monday, and Roger Feldman on Tuesday.
The auction will be broadcast live Sunday, Monday and Tuesday

chandise and over 70 pieces of art have been donated for the auction,
in addition to several thousand dollars worth of supportive goods and

Buttons, placards and posters around Bryan-College Station and

the three-day event, which can be seen on Channel 15 on the UHF
dial and on cable in Brenham, Bryan-College Station, Caldwell,
Hearne, Lyons, Madisonville and Somerville.
The procedure for bidding is as follows:
As you are watching the auction and find an item you would like to
buy, write down its item number and the board location (“K,” “A,”
“M,” “U,” Quickie or Supper). Decide how much you want to bid on
the item and call 696-2211 and place the bid with one of the volunteer
bid takers.
To bid, tell the volunteer the number of the item, the board location
and the amount of your bid. After giving your bid, give your name,
address and the telephone number where you can be reached for the
next 30 minutes.
If you are the high bidder, your name will be announced on the air
and a telephone bid confirmation operations will call you within 30
minutes to confirm you bid.
After the telephone bid confirniation operator has called you and
confirmed that you are the high bidder, you will be asked to come to
.KAMU-TV, Studio B, within 24 hours and pick up your purchase. (In
a few instances, high bidders will be given another pick-up location.)
Pick up and pay operators will be open until sign-off Sunday night,
from 8 a.m. until sign-off Monday and Tuesday and from 8 a.m. to 5
p.m. on Wednesday.
Cash or check will be accepted for the payment of your purchase,
and sales tax will be added when you pay for your purchase.
In addition to the pick up and pay operation, a Country Store will
also be located in Studio B. The Country Store will include an as
sortment of lower priced items which have been donated. These
items are on sale and may be purchased without bidding.
1979 seniors to elect agents
for former student association
By CATHY KIRKHAM
Battalion Reporter
The end is finally here - gradua
tion.
That goal, which once seemed
unattainable, is coming into view for
the 1979 graduating class at Texas
A&M University with its approach
ing induction into the Association of
Former Students, April 16 and 17.
The ceremony will be at a ban
quet at Ramada Inn with Richard
“Buck” Weirus, executive director
for the Association of Former Stu
dents, presiding. Class agents will
be elected and the class’ induction
into the association by Robert Smith
III, president of the association.
The banquet is for all May and
summer graduates, said Olive De-
lucia, class programs director of the
association. A separate banquet will
be held for December graduates.
Students with a preference for at
tending either Monday or Tuesday
night may sign up in the former stu
dents office.
Those graduating seniors in
terested in running for a class agent
position need to sign up in the
former student office by Thursday,
Delucia said.
Two meetings are held each year
by the board for the Association of
Former Students of which all class
agents are members . The term of an
agent is five years, but he or she can
be re-elected any number of times.
Pat Morly, administration assis
tant to the executive director for the
association, said that in recent
years, the graduating classes have
been so large, that two people are
elected as co-class agents instead of
one. Usually students run ingtn
of two as a team.
Candidates collect signatj
from their classmates and meet*
Weirus and Delucia for an inii
view. At the banquet, the
will elect their agents. D
graduates may vote in the fou
student association office.
Delucia said, “The only qual|
tion is the willingness to serve,
sponsibilities as class agent indu
organizing class reunions j
providing class news to fori
classmates with help from
former student office.”
In earlier graduating classes,
class president automaticallyl
came the class agent upon gradi
tion, Delucia said.
Some have remained active
their class.
