This experience is valuable because it helps in policy making. The new advisory directors learn how each department func tions within the bank’s system.

Bonfire after Thanksgiving, still will be built on Duncan field by Mallous Kazemzadeh Battalion Reporter The annual Aggie bonfire will be Friday, Nov. 25 due to the rescheduling of the Texas A&M-University of Texas foot ball game, says a bonfire adviser. Every two to three years the Texas A&M-University of Texas football game is televised by national networks. Because the networks cannot televise the game on Thanksgiving Day this year, the game date has been changed to Nov. 26 and the annual Aggie bonfire will be held the evening before on the 25th. Nolen Mears, bonfire advis er, said although the date has been moved forward the plans to build the bonfire remain the same. Cutting of logs will begin Oct. 1 and will entail a six to eight-week commitment from those who participate in the cut ting. Building the bonfire is mostly a weekend activity where stu dents begin cutting the logs in the morning and haul the logs back by truck at night, he said. However, the week before, the building of the bonfire en ters the “push” phase. Mears said at this point students work in different shifts for 24 hours to cut down the logs. “The entire student body is encouraged to participate,” he said. “Last year at some point there were about 10,000 people working on the bonfire at one time or another.” Power Authority, Mears said. The cutting site for bonfire and the bonfire will be con- will be near Carlos, on land that structed on Duncan Field where belongs to the Texas Municipal it has been built in the past.

IA plan is currently being for mulated to obtain federal and state funding as well as funding from the Texas Aeronautics Commission to improve the run ways, he said. But improving Coulter Field will not place it in competition with Easterwood Airport, he said. “Easterwood serves a particu lar need. It is a commercial type airline,” Hughes said. “Coulter is an auxiliary to Easterwood. It is a community service airport. It handles private and business aviation.” The city of Bryan has oper ated Coulter Field since 1970 without a formal contract for a fixed business operation. As business and city growth in creased, the city became more interested in serving a business atmosphere, he said. “For many years the airport was neglected by the city,” Hughes said. “It is evident now that the priority in the city has changed.” Mother's Day Specials 30% OFF Gold Chains & Pendants 415 University 846-5816 chat8es [Tine jeweluv] Lay - a - ways [S .M S C. aggie cinema P R E S E NTS PifytfHACOM IT "tHb.
