Sports Editor
Sometimes, late in the evening
behind the Floral Test Gardens on
the Texas A&M University campus,
a tall, muscular man can be seen
throwing a discus.
He walks slowly after the disc fol
lowing each throw, and behind him a
small boy watches silently. The man
returns, and stoops to talk to him. He
lifts a smaller discus from the ground
and plants it in the youth’s hand, and
watches proudly as the boy twirls
and hurls it as far as he can. The
youngster turns and smiles.
Randy Matson hasn’t aged much
since he won the Olympic discus
competition in 1968 at the Mexico
City Games. His hair has a little
gray, and he looks a bit more disting
uished now. His competing days are
over, but he still is involved with
Texas A&M as the director of the
Former Students Association.
Most of his days with the discus
are now spent teaching his son Jim
the mechanics of throwing. The ses
sions have paid off, and Jim is rapidly
developing into a respectable tracks-
ter under his father’s watching eye.
“I don’t push him at all,” the
senior Matson said. “He plays bas
ketball and soccer. He really enjoys
soccer. He sometimes wants to play
football, then baseball. It’s varying
thing. He even plays piano, which is
unusual for a Matson. ”
Jim, 9, competes in the shot put
and the relay events in a track prog
ram for area youth run by A&M Con
solidated Coach James Giese.
“The man (Giese) is incredibly pa
tient with the kids,” said Matson.
“He’s really got the patience. He
stays cool and is able to help them.
He’s got mine runnin’ 440-yard
dashes. When I was that age, I
wouldn’t touch it.”
Tuesday night, Matson took his
son and six friends to Houston for a
Junior Olympics qualifying track
meet. Jim took first place in the shot
put and ran on an 880-yard relay
team that qualified for another meet
July 1. The shot put victory also qual
ified Matson for next week’s meet.
The top four finishers in each
event in that meet will go on to com
pete in another meet later.
Matson said Jim hasn’t had to live
up to any reputation as yet.
“He doesn’t notice it right now,”
he said. “He gets comments some
times, I’m sure.
“He doesn’t really care for com
petition right now. If he decided just
to run, and not throw, I would be just
as happy. He’s a good boy. I don’t

want him to get involved in it just
because his dad was. That would be a
hardship.”
The younger Matson is happy his
father shows the interest in him.
“He comes and watches,” he said.
“I really know how to do all this be
cause he tells me.”
Does he feel the pressure of being
the son of an Olympic champion?
“No, not really. It doesn’t bother
me ... yet.”
For Randy Matson, the chore of
raising three children is enough, and
whatever they each decide to do is
fine with him.
“I don’t have any programs work
ed out,” he said. “They have to learn
to compete, improve and win. That’s
the key thing. Some of them are bet
ter, and some are not. Some of them
could do well — it could be all of
them, or not any of them. ”

MANAGER
Seem hard to believe? The average Cafeterias, Inc. manager did earn over
$80,000 last year. The average training period to become a manager is 6 to 8
years. Managers attain these earnings by collecting a share of the net profits from
their own cafeteria. The average associate manager last year earned $45,000. This
earning level is attainable in 3 to 5 years.
To become a manager of one of our cafeterias is a very special business opportunity.
You'll be joining an ambitious and progressive company that requires more of its
managers than any food chain in the Sunbelt. Local managers are decision making
businessmen who are responsible for all purchasing, menu planning, and hiring of per
sonnel. We grant our managers a great deal of autonomy, and treat them as
business partners. Cafeterias, Inc. is a firm believer in promoting from within; hence,
most Corporate Officers are former unit managers.
Cafeterias, Inc. is not restricting interviews to only Business majors; we're open to all
degrees. We're looking for people who are interested in becoming dynamic, ag
gressive, and well paid businessmen. If that's your goal, then we're looking for you!
