The federation has contributed 30,856.10 in scholarship funds for B1 students and projects on cano ns this year,” said Federation Pres- lent Wanda Pauler of Beaumont. The total of contributions for clubs ithin the state for the 1978-1979 car was $57,878.83. Except for that going to scholar- lips, the remainder of the money as divided between different or- mizations within the University, ich as the All Faiths Chapel, the ggie Band, the Singing Cadets, arsons Mounted Cavalry and ihers. The Mothers Clubs operate on a eal basis within their communities id districts. The federation consists 166 clubs, 63 in Texas and three in ouisiana. The Beaumont chapter will honor graduating senior with the Ethel 6ne Memorial Award in January. It is a $75 check in memory of one f the originators of the Beaumont ,” Pauler said. Other activities include a spring lyleshow, in which the Aggie moms model new spring fashions. The Brazos County Club is or- anizing a band concert to be held in pril. Half of the receipts from the cou rt will go to the Aggie band,” said Irs. John Bray, president of that 'ib. Each club has a scholarship com- littee which handles the money ac- uired through dues and contribu- during the semester on its new sur face, Durasnow, which is black. Mount Aggie is the simulated ski slope used by the Physical Education Department and the Texas A&M Snow Ski Club. It is located on Hous ton Boulevard directly across from Kyle Field. “Black isn’t as aesthetic as white, but it just doesn’t break down under the weather conditions as fast as white does,” said Dr. George Jessup of the health and physical education department. He is coordinating the reconstruction. For the past year, Mount Aggie has been green. Its surface was cal led Astrosnow, which is very much like Astroturf. Durasnow is made out of polyethelene, as is Astrosnow, but it is harder than Astrosnow. This makes it more durable — it is ex pected to last for three years — and a lot faster, Jessup said. “Last year we had to spray the slope down with water and sprinkle silicone pellets on it in order to make it fast enough to ski on,” Jessup said. Mount Aggie has also been lengthened by 20 feet and a hump has been built into the middle of it. Jessup said the hump was built to serve as a starting point for beginners and to give more experienced skiers practice skiing over humps. The black surface should be put on by Friday, Jessup said. “It’s kind of like Kyle Field,” he said. “I’m just keeping my fingers crossed and hop ing that it’ll be ready by Friday.” Students should be skiing on the $17,000 surface by next week, he said. Susan Lowy, a ski instructor, said that upon the completion of begin ning skiing, the student should be able to ski on any beginner slope in the country. “It will prepare the stu dent for about everything except the cold, she said. The Texas A&M Snow Ski Club is headed by Jessup and Dr. Carolyn Adair, director of student activities. They are having a meeting at Rudder Tower on Sept. 20 at 7:30 p.m. for all interested in joining. The new Mount Aggie should have most of the characteristics of a regular ski slope. But don’t eat the black snow. “Students wishing to apply for a cholarship must get in touch with a nember of the club in their lometown or area and fill out the lecessary papers,” Bray said. “We live out two $300 scholarships each ear to a boy and girl in our area. ” Federation officers meet four imes a year in the Memorial Student artistic] Center. Pauler said a workshop is forces»' leingplanned for the April meeting. lii terns to be discussed include ; of then iuggestions on starting scholarships, s, coulfe ncreasing club membership, and einwliti -aising money. /fix, 'by Han on Moon It is, ho» hat hadi : and tlrt progm r the Is ll0W.it: MANOR EAST 3 t MANOR EAST MALL? * SfiheMuppet Movies* ♦Star Wars £!S? jlNorth Dallas Forty SKYWAY TWIN DRIVE-IN 2000 E. 29th St. t WEST Moonraker and Last Embrace EAST Blazing Saddles and The Duches and the Dirtwater Fox T,: CAMPUS 210 University Dr. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ★★★★★★ MANOR EAST 3 823-8300 * * ?
