Each team member will secure pledges for each minute the team jumps, and when ajumper begins to tire, another team member will begin jumping. Prizes will be awarded to members of the team with the largest pledge amount. The prizes vary from warm-up suits to windbreakers. Participants who collects all of their collec tions will receive a free T-shirt. Besides the individuals prizes, the school that raises the most money, based on total enroll ment, will be awarded a cash prize. If Texas A&M University wins, the money will be used for intramural equipment, said Dr. Emma Gibbons, a lecturer in the health and physical education department. Sign-ups for the event are in 158K East Kyle. Students may register until the contest begins and collect their pledges after ward if necessary, Gibbons said. Texas A&M sponsored the contest for the first time last year, and 132 people partici pated, raising more than $2,000, said Elizabeth LeBlanc, an in structor with the department. The Physical Education Club asks that each team bring its own rope, if possible, to assure there will be enough ropes to go around, Gibbons said. “Jump Rope For Heart” usually is held in March, which is Physical Education and Sports month, but Texas A&M decided to hold the event in January, so awards would have time to ar rive by the end of the semester, LeBlanc said.

Three thousand copies of the newletter will be distributed to apartment complex managers’ offices so off-campus students can pick them up when they pay their February rent, OCA President Paul Bettencourt said. The group also discussed preparations for the MSC All Night Fair Feb. 26. OCA plans to sponsor Match Game A&M, which will feature a panel of University officials who will match words and wit with stu dent contestants at the fair, Committee Chairman Marty Blaise said. In addition, OCA reviewed plans and preparations for a chi li cook-off scheduled for March, the Aggie Blood Drive April 6-8, a barbecue to be held in conjunc tion with Parents’ Weekend April 17 and the OCA spring banquet. Members also discussed the drafting of a new OCA Constitu tion. The new constitution, Betten court said, will include bylaws concerning the responsibilities of apartment council presidents. Apartment council presidents, who represent different apart ment complexes, were selected last semester for the first time since OCA was formed three years ago. Apartment council presi dents have helped OCA keep off-campus students informed of on-campus events, Betten court said. i line i press. yofValei| i dears uf |f “rs manaf ■ e certain! ■ in the cl Baylor law scholarship has Monday deadline * by Karen Kaley grabber!- actually t< Battalion Reporter Monday is the last day to apply for the Joseph Milton Nance inuiactu™ Scholarship, a scholarship estab- nficH IS lished by the Baylor University iquifies (H School of Law especially for centers 1 ® Texas A&M students.

McSwain of 1 H the Baylor School of Law said: | “Dr. Nance has been a longtime friend of Baylor’s Law School. It was my idea to create the scho larships and name them after Dr. Nance.” McSwain, a 1944 graduate of Texas A&M University, said re lations between Texas A&M and Baylor have always been good. Nance said graduating seniors planning to enter Baylor law school in the summer or fall, or any student who has com pleted 90 credit hours, may be considered for the scholarships. Nominations for the scholar ships will be made by a commit tee comprised of Texas A&M fa culty members from different colleges on campus, Nance said. Students will be reviewed on their academic standing at Texas A&M and their law school entrance exam test scores, he said. McSwain said the amount of the scholarships varies depend ing on a student’s financial need and his academic work at Baylor. The scholarships are re newable for a second or third year to those doing well in law school, he said. Students interested in ap plying for one of the scholar ships should contact Nance in 560 Harrington.
