long with the booked-up motels,
|jundance of campers and lots of
jre-taking, a few other events
•will make this year’s Parents’ Day
• Weekend, which begins on Friday,
out of the ordinary.
“Unusual” is the word, said Ray
Godsey, chairman of public rela-
i tons for this weekend which honors
iggie parents.
The emphasis this year is to offer
more for people to do,” Godsey
said. An activity which will take
place this weekend that usually isn’t
offered on Parents’ Day Weekend is
Aggie Muster.
“I think it’s better to have both,
so parents only have to come once.
Any time we can offer both on the
same weekend, there’s no way
people won’t want to come,” he
said. He said the Parents’ Day
Weekend committee has been
working along with the Muster

inner of marijuana
give it away fast
United Press International
BERKELEY, Calif. — A 19-year-old University of California
ophomore is the winner of a marijuana raffle that netted her a kilo of
yhat the sponsors described as “fairly decent Colombian grass.”
[ She said, in a telephone interview after the raffle, she will use the
Marijuana, valued at $2,000 on the illegal market, to keep her friends
nappy and smoking.”
‘I’ll get rid of it as fast as I can,” she said. “I have a lot of friends and
give an ounce to everyone.”
The woman, who declined to identify herself, paid $1 for the raffle
cket.
The raffle was sponsored by a group supporting a marijuana initia
te on the ballot in Tuesday’s Berkeley municipal election.
The drawing was conducted in Wheeler Auditorium on the UC
ampus. Campus police did not interfere.

committee to merge these two
events. “I think it’s working out
really well,” Godsey said.
About 10,000 people will visit the
campus this weekend, Godsey esti
mated. Parents’ Day Weekend “lets
them see the campus,” he said.
“We’re trying to get a lot of off-
campus and ‘non-regs’ to participate
this year,” he said.
Parents’ Day Weekend originated
in 1925 when Texas A&M was a mil
itary college. Through the years it
has been associated with the Corps
of Cadets, but this year the commit
tee is looking for a change.
A “first” is the campus-wide bar
becue, scheduled for 4:30-5:30 p.m.
Saturday in the Grove. The event is
sponsored by the new off-campus
student organization.
Parents’ Day Weekend “never
really had a function for off-campus
students before,” said Kay Evans,
vice-president for university rela
tions.
Although the lunch is for anyone
who wishes to participate in the
events that day, Evans said, it gives
students off campus a chance to
bring their parents and get involved
in the weekend.
Evans stressed that tickets must
be bought in advance. The $3.10
tickets can be purchased through
Thursday at the Memorial Student
Center, Rudder box office and the
Harrington Student Center
Lounge. In case of rain, the food,
provided by Texas A&M Food Serv
ices, will be served in Room 201 in
the MSC.
The barbecue will “encourage
students and parents to stay on
campus,” Evans said. “It will also be
convenient since it is between Mus
ter and the Singing Cadets concert.”
The concert, traditionally Aggie
Muster, will be another “first” for
Parents’ Day Weekend. “I think it’s
the best show we’ve done in the
three years I’ve been in it,” said
Steve Rottler, treasurer for the
Singing Cadets.
The concert will begin at 8 p.m.
Saturday in Rudder Auditorium.
The $2.50 student tickets and $3
general admission tickets are availa
ble at the MSC box office in Rudder
Tower until the concert begins. All
seats are reserved.
The Singing Cadets will also per
form at 9:30 a.m. Saturday for the
Federation of Texas A&M Mothers’
Clubs and at Aggie Muster. All prof
its will go to touring costs, said di
rector of the group, Robert Boone.
Aggie Parents of the Year will be
announced Sunday in a program in
Rudder Auditorium at 9 a.m. The
honored parents, chosen by a com
mittee of students, will receive a
plaque, pendant and tie tack. The
couple will be able to watch the
Corps’ Review from the reviewing
stand. Seats in the president’s box
for a home football game will also be
given to the couple.
