only to this area, but to the
nation.
Scholarship applications
are taken during the first
week in March. Applicants are
screened by a selection com
mittee composed of Universi
ty department heads, student
representatives and the out
going student advisory dire
ctors. The selection commit
tee and Jim Scamardo, presi
dent of Unitedbank, interview
the finalists before selecting
the new advisory directors.
Applicants must have a
cumulative grade point aver
age of at least 3.25, a total of
75 credit hours with at least 21
hours of economics or busi
ness courses and have demon
strated leadership ability in
campus activities.
Franz has been actively in
volved with the MSC Great
Issues Committee, the College
of Business Administration
Fellows Program and is a
member of the Cap and Gown
senior honor society. He will
serve as vice president of edu
cational programs of the MSC
Council next year.
Taylor expects to receive
his master’s degree in finance
in December 1984. He has
been active in the Class of ’83
Council, the Finance Associa
tion and the M.B.A. Associa
tion. He is a member of Phi
Kappa Phi national honor
society and Gamma Sigma De
lta, a national agricultural
honor society.
Franz says he sees his
appointment as a great oppor
tunity to learn bank processes,
especially regarding loans and
operating procedures.
“It will be interesting to see
how a bank operates,” he says,
“to see what responsibilities
each employee has.”
Franz says he also is in
terested in seeing how banks
will face the challenges that
come with deregulation.
Nancy Nelson, a graduat
ing senior, served as advisory
director this year.
“I loved it,” she says. “I was
really impressed with the pro
fessionalism of the board
members and the excitement
of seeing how decisions are
made.
“The experience really
helped me decide to go into
banking.”
Nelson says that beginning
in June, the student advisory
directors will work in each de
partment of the bank. 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.
Nelson will be working for
Texas Commerce Bank after
graduation.
Bonfire after Thanksgiving,
still will be built on Duncan field

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.

ughes Aviation will open
mid Coulter Field fix-up
by Kimberly Hix
Battalion Reporter
Duller Field in Bryan will re-
e a new aviation service June
teve Hughes, president of
ghes Aviation said
Idnesday.
nttoaJ^ghes Aviation will provide
wheres® 11 serv * ces that include air-
/e spe® 1 tie-down and hangar re-
' , r p!s, aircraft sales plus rental,
" e0 ' 1 lei and oil sales.
I Also planned are airplane
y md helicopter flight instruc-
Ri,an airframe and engine re-
pah service and charter flights.
■ ‘There are three company
■ .®h,” Hughes said. “First, as in
)lw°rt Jn y business j s to be profitable.
B:ond is to provide an attrac-
eboyj tiye a irport environment. The
a . flM' s to provide reliable air-
.dling' Mi'tand maintenance services.”
)1 ofiiaw'] ie short term goal for Coul-
been j s to improve the attrac
tiveness of the field in order to
|ract more business customers.
This involves basic house-
;ping — fixing lights on the
Iminal building, mowing the
bss, planting shrubs,” he said,
hey are basically simple
Pngs — clean up, fix up, paint
i”
■Long term goals for the air-
|eid include adding new ramps
■d extending the present run-
wy, Hughes said.
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.”
