By BETSY HESS
Battalion Reporter
The plans of the Federation of
exas A&M Mothers’ Clubs to help
hepresidti indents and organizations at Texas
havetoijl &M University are in full swing.
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.

Come il
Would
you
help
this kid?
When the dam broke at Buffalo Creek, West
Virginia, a lot of people weren’t as lucky as
this little guy.
Jamie and the rest of the Mosley family
made it up the hill just in the nick of time.
Seconds later, a wall of water swept all their
earthly possessions away.
Here you see Jamie in the Red Cross
shelter, thinking it all over.
One look at that face, and we’re awfully
glad we were there to help.
Every year, you know, Red Cross
touches the lives of millions upon millions
of Americans. Rich. Poor. Average. Black.
White. Christian and Jew. With support.
With comfort. With a helping hand when
they need it.
So when you open your heart, with your
time or your money, you can be certain itb
in the right place.
4 1
Red Cross
is counting
on you.
CAN YOU BE LUCKY
IN LOVE AND MONEY?

□ of social psychology and computer science) think we can help by offer
