Big Event begins Sunday Projects to benefit B-CS United Press International AUSTIN — The chancellor of the University of Texas Sys tem, Everitt Donald Walker, appeared in Municipal Court Tuesday on drunken driving charges and was released on $500 bond. Walker, 60, was arrested Monday night by Austin police after he was spotted just after 10 p.m. near a downtown intersec tion. City court officials read the UT official his rights and ordered him to appear in Travis County Court on March 8. Wal ker did not enter a plea. Police spokesman Sam Bal lard said an officer began fol lowing a 1980 Lincoln Con tinental Monday night after it was pointed out to him by other motorists. The officer said in his report that he noted smoke burning from the tires and “extensive damage” to the front end of the car. The officer said he followed the luxury car several blocks be fore it yielded. He said he noted parts falling off the car, which was “swerving badly from the middle to the left lane and back again.” At one point, he said, the car began straddling both lanes. Police then learned that Wal ker’s car had apparently collided with a truck at the intersection of Fifth and Lamar streets. Ballard said there was evidence of a colli sion, including the grille from Walker’s car, found at the in tersection. But he said the truck driver did not remain at the scene, and there apparently were no in juries. Walker was released to his attorney’s custody after taking a blood-alcohol test. Police de clined to disclose results of the test. Walker, who was named chancellor of the UT system in October 1978, first joined the university in 1955 as business manager-comptroller of the Galveston medical branch.

Joe Nussbaum, vice president or the student services commit- /ith plat loii ';f iec( wever c polititt •ly teem' r mone; of Conp izen s tee, said volunteer work is the best way to aid the community. “The students don’t have much money for charities, but they do have the time and labor,” said Nussbaum. More than 6,000 people and 90 organizations plan to work with the program. The external affairs commit tee contacted service clubs, char ity organizations and the local churches in the Bryan/College Station area to learn where the needs were. Finding the needs was the ha'rdest part of the program, Nussbaum said. The largest group participat ing in the Big Event is the Corps of Cadets with about 2,000 stu dents. They will be working with Brazos Beautiful Inc. to clean up the Bryan/College Station area. One hundred members of the campus honor societies will hold a canned and boxed food drive for Twin Cities Mission in Bryan. Other community pro jects include cemetery clean ups, a recreation day for dis abled and aged residents, school ground and park clean-ups, house painting and exercise for patients recovering from strokes. Haas Hall will be presenting a talent show featuring the “Off- Broadway Aggies” for the Bra zos County Geriatric Center. There also will be a sign-up spot at the rally for individuals who are not already working with a campus organization and want to work.
