Program director Sharon W. Barnard said the citizens benefiting from this program are at least 60 years old and receive incomes at or below federal poverty guidelines. Prior to the meeting, BVCAA only needed Fairview residents’ permis sion to use the room. In a letter to Superintendent Wesley K. Sum mers, Barnard said she had assumed the board had approved the use. The board approved the con tinued use, but with one condition — a monthly charge of $15. under control, the inflationary press ure on Mexico will be reduced and our economy will be better able to absorb larger export revenues from increased exports of oil and gas. “Conversely, we will not subject our people to higher and higher rates of inflation, if that trend continues, our hydrocarbon development prog ram and exports will be curtailed.” Woody Allen’s “Getting Even” will be presented tonight in the Rud der Forum. Members of the oral interpreta tion group of the speech communica tion department here will read ex cerpts from Allen’s book. The readings range from a story about a private detective hired to find God to a Jewish dress manufac turer that beats death in a game of gin rummy.
