The Corps raised about $20,000 for the March of Dimes, said Mike Weaver, chairman of the Corps march. Squadrons 10 and 12 combined pledged over $4,000, Weaver said. The outfit that donated the most money, combined with the most accumulated points in the relay games will be awarded the “battered boot” trophy on Parents’ Day in April. Ed Wilson of P-2 took pledges for the most money, $720, and Mark Stroman of P-2 accepted pledges for $400, the second highest amount turned in by an individual. Squadron 2 won the sack relay, L-l won the stretcher relay and P-2 won the tug-of-war. The three outfits with the most cumulative points will receive streamers for outfit flags on Parents’ Day. Eight outfits entered the pizza eating contest sponsored by Pasta’s Pizza Sunday. Each person had one hour to eat as much as he could of a 20-inch pizza with all ingredients on it. Larry Fischer, a junior in Squad ron 12, won $500 to be donated by Pasta’s to the March of Dimes. When the hour was over, Fischer had only a couple of bites left. There were six other contestants remaining. ssci | , ?r iS considered Ti+e greatest of CoouBOy W/ST5 EXcePT PERt)^ mmictlemiVG-Toy Jobs (Continued from page 1) most are unskilled and have had no success finding work. She had a list of other factors. Pre gnancy, alcoholism or drug addiction in family, police trouble and home difficulties are considered. If an ap plicant has problems like these, the BVDC gives them a shot at work above others. “For instance, if a single man who had been unemployed for three weeks came in and so did a woman with five children, we would help the woman first,” Stanley said. “Last year the summer program served 248 kids,” Stanley said. He said that 244 were under 19. One hundred sixty-five were males and 83 females. Thirty of the participants were white, 196 black, and 20 hispa- nic. One hundred six were getting some type of public assistance. “The hardest kids to employ are the 14 and 15 year olds, both male and female,” she said. The work that BVDC finds varies. “Much of the work is outdoors, in the sun. They have done some painting, road work, clerical work, library work, indoor maintenance, the whole gamut,” Stanley said. CETA wages are minimum wages. “Right now that’s $3.10 an hour, ” he said. “CETA pays the salaries. Em ployers provide the worksites.” Employers last summer included surrounding school districts, the Boys’ Club in Bryan, and the cities of College Station and Bryan. Stanley said that employers must fill out solicitation forms agreeing to abide by BVDC regulations, like safety for employees. “We normally go out and recruit businesses ourselves.” he said. Stanley, who has a bachelor’s in social services and who is working on his master’s in rural sociology, said his job is challenging. “Sometimes it’s frustrating, sometimes its re warding,” he said. When students call back and say that they have a job, and have gotten a raise or promotion, that is satis fying, Stanley said.

Finding jobs in Brazos County should not be that difficult if appli cants are not too selective, said, Hamp Patterson, labor market analyst for the Texas Employment Commission. “We’re on a line before you start calling it a boom,” he said, speaking of job outlooks. “There is a great deal going on in this county. ” Patterson said that TEC handled job applications for Texas Instru ments openings. Of 2,000 applic ants, 70 percent to 75 percent are fully employed elsewhere. “They’re just shopping,” he said. He agreed with an analysis that said the labor force in Bryan and Col lege Station will not catch up with Bryan’s growth for 5-10 years. “You stop and think about the fact that new businesses are coming in like TI and Skaggs and K-Mart. Jobs won’t be hard to find,” he said. He said that of 41,270 in the labor force in Brazos County, only 3.6 per cent were unemployed in February. That is up from 1.6 percent in De cember and 3.3 percent in January. Nationwide employment ran 6.8 percent in February. “I think you’ll see an increase in unemployment due to higher in terest rates. Employers will be cut ting back,” he said. Summer unemployment shrank in 1979. Brazos County averaged above 3.6 percent unemployment for 1976- 78. In 1979 unemployment went as low as 2.9 percent in August. Reducing those statistics this sum mer will be Bill Stanley’s concern. He said he hopes to get 200 youths working on CETA programs. He also hopes that budget slashing in Washington does not cut into youth programs too much. President Carter recently approved a bill that earmarked funds for continuing youth programs. The programs are not always suc cessful. Some youths do not have the motivation to be successful. Em ployers like the school districts keep arranging work for the program, and Stanley said that even though he stumps for worksites, the programs have had enough work to occupy youths for a summer. He said, “I have a deep-seated committment to help the economic ally disadvantaged, the poor some people call them. “I enjoy what I’m doing. I want to help people fulfill their dreams.” 91 DIANA HORADAM SECRETARY-TREASURER CLASS OF ’83 It s all in a weekend s work for service club members By DENISE CRENWELCE Campus Reporter Making beds, washing windows, Find cleaning air conditioner vents tmay not appeal to many people but ?nion and “any nafc one campus group does just that ited or controlled! almost every weekend.
