nterviews for Fish Camp
ounselors begin this week
By MELISSA MARTIN
Campus Reporter
Interviews for the 700 applicants
for Fish Camp counselors began
jWonday, camp director Dianne
ssellfclopp said. About 400 counselors
ccs toill be selected for the three sessions
Texas A&M’s Fish Camp,
puring August incoming fresh-
m are given the chance to learn
ut A&M life and meet other
mbers of their class at Fish Camp,
app said. They learn A&M tradi-
jns and the reasons behind them,
attend talks by faculty members
on topics ranging from study habits
to individuality, she said.
“Fish Camp helps freshmen with
the transition from high school to col
lege by giving them an extra boost of
knowledge about college life, ” Klopp
said.
Counselors are chosen mainly on
their sincerity in wanting to help
freshmen, Klopp said.
“Our motto is ‘Fish Camp is for
freshmen, ”’ she said. Counselors are
also chosen for general enthusiasm
and positive attitude.
Fish Camp started in 1953 when
Gordon Gay, then Texas A&M
YMCA director, took a few cadets
camping on the Brazos River, she
said.
“Fish Camp has changed since
then but it still is fun for both fresh
men and counselors,” Klopp said.
This year 1,600 freshmen will attend
Fish Camp, sponsored by the Stu
dent Y’ Association. The three-
session format being initiated this
year will enable about 400 more
freshmen to attend the camp than
last year.
Applications can be picked up in
216 MSC, and they must be turned
in by Wednesday.
asy money’ ad ran
s term paper experiment
By MERIL EDWARDS
Campus Staff
“Easy Money. Send one dollar
ks/i and we will advise you on how
u can make one hundred dollars
stant/y. ”
This advertisement ran in The
I lattalion Jan. 15-18 and Jan. 21.
It was placed in the newspaper by
lharles Burr, a Texas A&M Univer
ity graduate student in education.
I T ran the ad for a paper I was
doing in Sociology of Education
613, Burr said. “I wanted to see how
any people with a college level
ucation would answer it.”
Burr said he received $6 in re-
onse to the ad — which wasn’t
ough to continue the paper.
Burr sent a mimeographed form
tter to the six students who
answered his ad. This letter told stu
dents all they had to do to make $100
instantly was to run an ad in any
newspaper similar to the ad he ran
and watch the $1 bills roll in.
“I sent all the money back Friday
though, ” Burr said. “I felt the ad was
a little misleading and wasn’t fair to
the public to do it. I felt guilty get
ting the money, but I dkLhave a
motive — the paper.”
Burr said he got the idea from ads
he had seen in Dallas, Austin and
New York newspapers.
Burr said the ad was legal and that
he checked it out before it ran in the
paper.
District Attorney Travis Bryan
said, “I couldn’t find any place in the
penal code that showed the ad was in
violation. So as far as I know, it’s
legal.”
Even though the ad was legal, the
Better Business Bureau of Brazos
Valley received several complaints
about it.
“Students came to me,” BBB man
ager Leroy Balmain said, “so 1 had to
check it out. When I stiw the ad I
knew'somebody was going tp lose
some money so I did some investi
gating. I talked with the young man
who placed the ad, because it was
misleading. He said he would take it
out of the paper and refund the
money.”
When Burr refunded the money,
he enclosed notes to students that
said, “We apologize for this mistake
and misrepresentation.”
