The A&M Consolidated School
oard voted to apply once again for
deral funds for its vocational educa-
onprogram, and to renew its agree-
ent with the federal government
for large amounts of food to be sup-
ilied to the schools in the district.
Funds from the federally funded
Vocational Education Programs will
be used to help finance equipment
for a special office training program
an agriculture program, Super
intendent Bruce R. Anderson, said.
Equipment for the office program
ll cost approximately $25,000, and
e agriculture program, a mecha-
ical and production program, will
equire equipment totalling
27,000, bringing the total amount
iceded to $52,000.
Mr. Joseph Cox, who is handling
e application process for the board,
timated that the state will fund
962, leaving the local share of
[6 cost at $7,308.
The board also voted to renew a
mmodities agreement which pro
vides various types of food to schools
in the national school lunch
program.
Board member Donald P. Nye
said this federal government com
modities distribution program pro
vides food valued in excess of
$40,000 per year to the A&M Con
solidated schools.
He said the amounts of food re
ceived each month varies, but said
that the monthly amounts some
times reach about 35,000 pounds.
“This program allows us to provide
food at a lower cost to the children,”
Nye said.
He said the cost to the district for
participating in the program is
$651.20, and added that, consider
ing the amount of food received, it is
well worth the expense.
Nye said although the $40,000
worth of food is a big help to the
district, the cost to feed the students
is, in addition to this, a quarter of a
million dollars.
He said more than 19,000 students
participate in the daily meal
program.

Campus Staff
| The Earth Day 80 celebration be
gan Friday night as “earthy” dressers
fell in step behind Northgate to the
nes of the Cambridge Band. Parti-
lipants of the street dance brought
uminum cans as admission to the
stivities.
Today is Earth Day and the
Memorial Student Center will be the
site of various environmental dis
plays presented by student clubs,
si “Earth Day is a celebration of the
feet that we now understand we must
gulate and control our natural re-
urces for maximum utilization,”
said Peyton Hughes, organizer.
I The first Earth Day, held in 1970,
helped to spread environmental
1 awareness; Earth Day ’80 recognizes
; the advances made in the last de
cade. In addition to the club dis
plays, Dr. Burton Lamb of the Un
ited States Fisheries and Wildlife
Service in Colorado will speak at 2
p.m. today in 701 Rudder. The topic
is “strategies for protecting instream
flows.”
Mike Cunningham will speak on
environmental ethics and land de
velopment at 3:30 p.m. in 301 Rud
der and Paul Kuhn of the Solar Bond
Company is to talk about solar ener
gy in 102 Zachry at 7:30 p.m., also
today.
The aluminum cans gathered dur
ing the festivities will be contributed
to the recycling drive being spon
sored by the Wildlife Society. The
Putoma Corp., which manufactures
airplane parts, is paying the Wildlife
Society 35 cents a pound for the alu
minum cans.
Ruling in property
court case upheld
'ed
United Press International
LITTLE ROCK — The Arkansas
Supreme Court today affirmed a low
er court decision regarding a proper
ty settlement between two homosex
uals, saying the trial court was cor
rect in allowing testimony about the
men’s relationship to be considered.
I James T. Bramlett argued the
homosexual relationship he had with
Benjamin Selman should not have
been brought up in the Pulaski
County Chancery Court case.
The high court disagreed with
Bramlett. It said that the confiden
tial, family-type relationship be
tween the men figured into their
financial dealings with each other
and so was correctly taken into
account in the court proceedings.
The court added this is not the
case in every homosexual relation
ship, however.
- The dispute occurred when Sel
man opened a $7,000 savings
account in Bramlett’s name. Selman
said the money was to be used to buy
a house, also in Bramlett’s name, so
the purchase could be concealed
from his wife. Bramlett said the
loney was a gift.
When Bramlett and Selman
^separated, ” Selman brought action
against Bramlett asking that he va
cate the house and transfer own
ership. The chancery court ruled
Bramlett was acting as a constructive
trustee for Selman, who was the real
ier of the property. It ordered
Sramlett to vacate but awarded him
$1,624.48 for his expenses incurred
as Selman’s trustee.
Chief Justice John A. Fogleman
|issented because the couple was
tempting to defraud Selman’s wife.
“If the relationship between
appellee and appellant were hus-
and wife, appellee would not
be permitted to extricate himself be
cause his hands were unclean. Why
should he be able to do so because of
a homosexual relationship?” Fogle
man wrote.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. —
Depending on the outcome of a
program in Mesa County, the Amer
ican Lung Association may begin
publishing a directory of restaurants
that offer separate dining areas for
smoking and non-smoking custom
ers, a spokesman said Monday.
Sandra Knudson said the associa
tion’s local office would publish the
Mesa County directory in May. She
said a similar directory might be
published statewide if the local pro
ject is successful.
The association decided to put the
directory together because of num
erous calls from persons with lung
ailments inquiring which restaurants
had non-smoking sections.
Now you know. . .

George Washington’s estate was
valued at $530,000 at the time of his
death. With inflation, it would be
worth about $20 million now, yet he
was considered “land poor” because
he often was hardpressed for cash.
