The RHA, Texas A&M’s coordinating body of residence halls, plans to improve last year’s activities as well as adopt some additional events. The first activity scheduled for the fall semester is “RH Allo- ween.” RHA president Stacy Graff said the hall councils are working on improvements for this event and also Casino Night, which were both held last year. Another area that will be im proved, Graff said, is the social gatherings — better known to residents as dorm parties. Hall councils are currently revising alcohol guidelines so dorm par ties will run more smoothly. Graff said she hopes the new guidelines will develop a consis tency among the dorms so each hall will coordinate when plan ning a party. A responsible party will be held for nail council members to encourage the right kind of par ty and set examples of what a social gathering should be, GrafT said. The party will have such items as a breathalizer and a wino wagon for those who need to be told or already know they drank too much, she said. In addition to activities and parties, another feature for hall residents is dorm contests. Graff said last year’s “Security Aware ness Contest” was a big success and another one will be held in the spring. An additional contest sche duled in the spring will be a take off on the TV show "Almost Anything Goes."

Bill Cle ments congratulated the Small Business Administration Wednesday for its plan to pro vide financial aide to retailers on the Mexican border whose busi ness has dropped substantially since the devaluation of the peso. He made the statement in con junction with other statements concerning U.S. relations with Mexico. Retailers from San Diego to Brownsville have reported los ses of sales ranging from 40 per cent to 98 percent since Mexico devalued its currency. The peso dropped from 27 per $1 to 108 per $ 1, which meant the price of U.S. goods quadrupled for the millions of Mexican shoppers on the border. The SBA in Washington on Wednesday announced forma tion of a $200 million emergen cy fund to rescue the border businesses. Administrator James Sanders said the money would provide reduced interest rates for loans, guarantee pri vate loans to small businesses and allow payment extensions for existing loans. Clements, interviewed from Dallas on the CBS Morning News, termed the program “a significant step forwarcT” “All of the border towns and small businesses greatly appreci ate what the SBA has done,” Cle ments said. “In a manner of speaking, it is a federal^ loan. It will givetheseo[* some breathing room.'
