ners who collected the most
money.
B-Battery unit in the band col
lected the most money as a unit,
$3,300. Cox said the unit will be
awarded the battered-boot award
at Parents’ Day, April 26.
The winner for the most money
collected by an individual was
Paul Vassar, a senior engineering
technology major from Squadron
5. Vassar collected $1,300—more
money than ever before collected
by one individual.
Vassar attributed his success to
a good sales pitch and a lot of
knocking door to door for contri
butions.
He received gift certificates
from local stereo shops and a radio
head set for his efforts.
Vassar said he was determined
to collect more money this year
than he collected last year.
Ken Telg, chairman of the Bra
zos Valley Chapter March of Di
mes, said he was delighted with
the Corps’ efforts.
Telg said he estimates that a tot
al of $65,000 will be collected by
the chapter and that the Corps
participation will play a big role in
this goal.
He said the Corps has received
national acclaim from the March of
Dimes. The Corps March to the
Brazos is featured in a film that is
shown to various organizations to
promote the March of Dimes and
their fund-raising activities.
Languages Department for those faculty wanting it.
All will be evaluated and receive credit for the
courses.
The faculty class will meet five days a week from
7-8 a.m. and from 4-5:30 p.m. Home said she origin
ally thought this time schedule might discourage
response but all 25 spaces were filled in two days and
there are 18 on a waiting list.
In Phase II, during the following year, three
University departments will hold 90-minute semi
nars to maintain and build technical vocabulary that
the participants will use for the third phase.
Home said participants in Phase III must send
applications themselves to a language institute, uni
versity or agency. The committee Home heads, Lan
guage Task Force, will supply brochures and infor
mation to participants.
The Strengthening Grant will supply $700 for
expenses of the third phase and pay all costs of the
Spanish courses and seminars.
The Language Task Force, which Horne said has
worked on this program for about four months, is
comprised of Dr. Horne, Dr. Robert Blake, Dr.
James Boone, Prof. Fred Kirkpatrick, Dr. Edna
Koenig and Dr. Gisela Mahoney.
