DALY Battalion Reporter Every child likes candy, but for some children the sweets aren’t as close as the nearest vending machine. Mary Robinette helps less for tunate children get their share of sweets. She collects money for candy and takes the treats to the Austin State School for Retarded Children. Robinette, a horticultural sci ence technician at Texas A&M University, has been making runs to Austin for 17 years. She started her deliveries to the retarded chil dren in Austin the first Halloween her oldest son, William, was in the school. William, 24, doesn’t speak at all. She said she asked her other Gramm says Reagan cuts needed By JANE G. BRUST Battalion Staff U.S. Rep. Phil Gramm voiced his support for President Ronald Reagan’s proposed federal- spending cuts Monday at the opening address of the Farm and Ranch Credit Conference for Commercial Bankers. “We need to balance the budget,” he said. “One thousand programs can and should be cut. ” The Democrat told 150 bankers gathered in Rudder Tower he be lieves the American people are in favor of the spending cuts. And he urged his audience to support Reagan’s program also. “Ronald Reagan was elected on a clear mandate: ‘Put the federal government on a budget like ev erybody else.’ “It’s important that you be very active in supporting these spend ing cuts,” he said. “It’s imperative that we get lending back into pri vate hands.” Gramm said that the $41 billion cuts would be accepted if voted on as a package. The congressman said if the proposed spending cuts are voted on one at a time, however, the program could be defeated. He said the public would tire of the voting process and “then special interests would dominate.” Gramm said the special interest groups should compete against each other for funds and not against the taxpayer. The representative of the 6th Congressional District pointed out that balancing the federal budget will mean cutting prog rams. “That’s going to affect people,” he said. However, Gramm said the idea that the proposed spending cuts would burden the poor is “totally inaccurate. ” He said the proposed budget would spend $18,000 per poverty family of four. The Reagan package simply seeks to tighten eligibility for that binding, he said. AUTO TUNE “The Inflation Fighters” (Formerly Bill’s & Jay s Auto Tune) “Quality Service..

Arkansas Power & Light Company representatives will be on the Texas A&M campus on Tuesday, March 10, to discuss career opportunities with electrical, mechanical and nuclear engineers. A part of the Middle South Utilities System, AP&L is Arkansas’ largest electric energy supplier with over 4,200 professionals and is recognized nationally as one of the leading utilities in America. Engineering opportunities are available in both coal-fired and nuclear-fueled power plant operations and maintenance, project support, power system distribu tion, customer service engineering, instrumentation and control, and communications. Sign up now for an interview with AP&L at the University Placement Office. A? Arkansas POWER & LIGHT An Equal Opportunity Employer two children’s teachers to have their students donate extra Hallo ween candy to send to William and the other children at the school who weren’t able to go trick-or- treating for themselves. Donations from students con tinued over the years and Robinette expanded the project by collecting extra candy from shoppers at supermarkets. She quit collecting candy in 1975 when the risk of getting bad candy became a problem. But she didn’t give up on the project. Instead, she opened a candy fond at University National Bank in College Station. People wishing to help with the project can send donations to the bank, Box 2680, College Station, 77840. She now buys the candy her self, usually after the holiday when candy prices are reduced. Sometimes local merchants donate candy they are unable to sell. In 1977, a store in the Manor East Mall in Bryan donated $240 worth of leftover Valentine candy. The biggest season for dona tions is Christmas, Robinette said. Donations come from various peo ple — from merchants to students — and that sometimes donors are anonymous. The amount of money she collects yearly varies, she said. Two weeks ago, Robinette deli vered more than $60 worth of Valentine candy to Austin when she attended her son’s yearly eva luation. Robinette said she or her hus band, James, takes the candy to Austin when she has enough for the 1,000 kids at the school. Volunteer workers at the school frequently write thank-you notes and receipts for donors, she said. And all donations are tax- deductible. The candy is generally used as rewards for children’s accomplish ments. EXPERIENCE IT! Location: Dominican Republic Time: 4-5 weeks/second half of summer.
