Fed money

United Press International
BALTIMORE — Eight lame-
duck congressmen used taxpay
ers’ money to buy large amounts
of stamps during their final
months in office, a published re
port indicates.
The stamps were bought de
spite the fact congressmen can
use their free franking privilege
for 90 days after they leave office.
Departing congressmen who
purchased stamps were Rep.
Newton Steers, R-Md., who
bought a total of $5,000 of stamps;
Robert Leggett, D-Calif., $13,-
000; B. F. Sisk, D-Calif, $8,000
James J. Delaney, DN.Y, $8,000
Robert Nix, D-Pa., $11,100
Fred Rooney, D-Pa., $6,323
John Young, D-Texas, $3,999
and John J. Flynt, D-Ga., $3,150.
“It didn’t cost the taxpayer 1
cent,” Steers said. “It’s a transfer
of taxpayers’ money from one
part of government to another
part of government. The net ef
fect is zero.”

lot so, U Seniors and near seniors have
until Sept. 26 to apply through
Texas A&M University for a Rhodes
Scholarship to Oxford University,
England.
Interested men or women who
are Texas residents or have attended
Texas A&M for at least two years
^uld contact Dr. Paul Van Riper
of the Political Science Department
or Dr. John F. Reading of the
Physics Department. They together
with Dr. R. H. Ballinger, professor
emeritus of English, comprise the
local selection committee.
Candidates must be unmarried
citizens between the ages of 18 and
24.
Prior experience would also
suggest as highly desirable a grade
point average above 3.75 and a rec
ord of unusual achievement in some
outside activity, noted Van Riper,
chairman of the selection commit
tee. Quality of intellect, character,
and accomplishments are the most
important requiremnts, he added.
The two-year scholarships cover
tuition and fees, some assistance for
travel and a maintenance allowance
in pounds sterling equal to about
i,400 at present exchange rates.
If successful at the campus level,
a candidate is interviewed at state
and regional levels in December,
with four scholarships granted to the
six-state region of which Texas is
part, Thirty-two awards are granted
annually in the U.S., four to each of
eight districts. In 1978 awards went
11 women and 21 men.
Four Texas A&M students have
received scholarships, the last being
Murray E. Fulton, M.S. ’78 in ag
ricultural economics, who was suc
cessful in the Canadian competition,
and Paul T. Hasse, ’76, a philosophy
najor.
the Peace Corps. Students can meet
these and other potential employers
outside the pressure of the inter
view room and can begin to under
stand how each of the companies
operate.
Sponsored by the College of Ag
riculture, the Career Planning and
Placement Center, and the student
chapter of the National Agri-
Marketing Association, PCPA Day
will begin with a noon banquet for
the program participants. President
Jarvis Miller will speak at the lunch
eon.
The focus of the career day is the
2 to 5 p.m. exhibition booths and
displays in the main ballroom of the
Memorial Student Center. Also in
the ballroom will be tables for the
College of Agriculture departmental
clubs.
Rounding off the day, a Texas
Style Bar-B-Que at the Brazos Cen
ter in Bryan is set for 6:30 p.m.
Tickets are $2 and available from
technical club advisers. Students
may sit at a company table of their
choice and visit with faculty and
representatives.
Mark Ellison, president of the
Texas A&M chapter of NAMA, said
the sponsors of PCPA Day got what
they feel to be the top 60 em
ployers. Since Texas A&M has the
largest agricultural enrollment in
the United States, Ellison said,
most corporations contacted were
interested.
Although the career day is spot
lighting agriculture, a wide cross-
section of corporations and agencies
will be represented, Ellison said.
Students from any area of university
study were welcome, he said.
