Students living on campus can
expect a fun-filled year of resi
dence hall activities and social
gatherings, the Residence Hall
Association says.
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." IhiiB

1801 Cavitt — Bry an
Clements commends SBA
for border relief proposal
United Press International
DALLAS — Gov. 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.'
Clements said, howevtj
