Handicapped kids get sweets
By RUTH M. 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.

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.

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.

THE MOST SOPHISTICATED TRAINING GROUND
FOR NUCLEAR ENGINEERING
ISN’T ON THE GROUND.
It’s on a Navy ship.
The Navy has more experi
ence with nuclear power than
anyone else in America. To date,
over 1,900 reactor-years of
nuclear power experience. With
a nuclear program like that, the
Navy has developed the most
comprehensive and sophisti
cated nuclear training available.
First, you’ll get a full year of
advanced technical training.
Outside of the Navy this pro
gram would cost you thousands.
In the Navy, we pay you.
As a commissioned officer,
you’ll have immediate decision
making authority supervising
highly trained personnel while
operating the most sophisti
cated nuclear propulsion plants
ever developed. You get impor
tant management responsi
bility fast. Because, in the
Navy, as your knowledge grows,
so does your responsibility.
So if you’re majoring in math,
engineering, or the physical
sciences, send in the coupon.
And head for the most sophisti
cated training ground for nu
clear engineering... the Navy.
