Sponsored by Lions Club
Annual rodeo starts Friday
by Rebecca DiMeo
Battalion Reporter
The Bryan Breakfast Lions
Club will sponsor its 12th
Annual Rodeo at 8 p.m. Friday
and Saturday at the Brazos
County Arena.
Rodeo events will include a
junior breakaway, bareback rid
ing, tiedown, ribbon roping,
team roping, bull riding, steer
wrestling and barrel racing,
advertising chairman Virgil
Schlueter said.
Tickets for the event will be
available only at the rodeo.
Sammy Catalena, rodeo own
er and a Bryan Breakfast Lions
Club charter member, said the
Lions Club doesn’t favor adv
ance ticket sales.
Because the Lions Club is a
civic organization, he said, peo
ple buy tickets without attending
the rodeo. But because the club
wants people to attend, tickets
will be sold only at the gates.
Prices are $3.50 for adults and
$2 for children.
Members also will sell raffle
tickets for a chance to win half of
a processed calf each night of
the rodeo. The raffle tickets will
cost $1.
Proceeds from the rodeo will
go to the winners of the events as
prize money ranging from $15
to $40. The money also will go to
“whatever projects arise that are
worthy of a need,” Catalena
said.
Current club projects include
the Brazos Valley Rehabilitation
Center, the Lions Club Crippled
Childrens’ Camp in Kerrville
and college scholarhip awards
for students from the Bryan-
College Station area.
Catalena could not estimate
the expected crowds, but said
the rodeo is expected to be a big
moneymaker. The rodeo
doesn’t draw crowds like it used
to, but a number of people will
come because it’s a Lions Club
event, he said.
Club members will work at
the concession stand or the
gates, parking cars, loading
chutes with animals, selling raf
fle tickets, or patrolling as secur
ity, Catalena said.
During the past eleven years,
there have been no major in
juries at the rodeo. Catalena said
the worst injury was in a pasture
during the businessmen’s wild
cow saddling event several years
ago.
“We’ve hauled more people
out of the arena in that event
than in the regular contestant
events,” he said.
For this reason, the event was
taken out this year and replaced
with a children’s pig scramble.
The rodeo is open to anyone
wanting to participate. Bookings
will be taken from noon until 6
p.m. Wednesday at 822-4462.
Youth settle out of court
by Tim Widdison
Battalion Reporter
Several young children are
touring facilities at Texas A&M
this summer through a special
program sponsored by the Bra
zos County Juvenile Services De
partment.
The summer program was
developed as an option for
young children, ages 10 to 13,
charged with first time offenses
who want to avoid going
through the court system.
Melinda Morrow, a summer
intern with Juvenile Services at
the Brazos County Courthouse,
is coordinating this year’s sum
mer program.
The program, now in its
fourth year, sponsors educa
tional tours of the community
once a week for six weeks, Mor
row said. A maximum of 12 chil
dren enroll in the program each
summer on a voluntary basis.
Enrolling in the program is
not an admission of guilt to any
crime, Morrow said, it’s only an
option to being tried through
the courts.
The children are from the
Bryan area, she said, and many
of them come from disadvan
taged homes. The tours are the
first opportunity for many of
them to get out into the com
munity, she said.
Tours this summer have in
cluded KAMU-TV and the
math labs on campus, Morrow
said.
At KAMU the children tested
equipment and were able to
watch themselves on television
monitors, she said.
In the math labs, students tak
ing math classes at the Universi
ty played math games with the
childien, taught them some
math skills and showed them
how to use a computer, Morrow
said.
Other tours have included the
Veterinary School and the
Creamery, she said.
The Final tour for this sum
mer will be Tuesday. The chil
dren will tour the facilities of the
Texas A&M Athletic Depart
ment, Morrow said. The tour
may include a visit with some
athletes and lunch at Cain Hall.

the woman after an advertise
ment was placed in the Boulder-
based magazine for someone
seeking “high adventure and
appropriate pay.” As soon as he
discovered the plot, Satchfield
notified the Houston office of
the FBI.
Authorities said the woman
apparently wanted to help in
mate Mark Nola escape from the
jail in Golden. Both she and
Nola now are being held on
$100,000 bond in connection
with the attempted escape plan.
Nola has been in jail since July
8 on felony theft, burglary and
forgery charges.

Captain Robert Squires said his
agency was alerted to the
attempted escape five days be
fore it was scheduled to happen.
The woman was arrested in her
hotel room Monday.
“We were waiting for her,”
Squires said. “We knew about
the whole thing because Mr.
Satchfield was working with us.”

AUSTIN — The issue of
House Speaker Gib Lewis’
botched 1981 campaign finan
cial report, which plagued the
speaker for four months and
cost him $800 in criminal fines,
was put to rest by an ethics com
mittee’s unanimous vote to close
its investigation of the matter.
""vhihhhi
“I am pleased both with the
action of the committee and the
fact this matter is finally closed,”
Lewis said Tuesday after the
House Ethics Committee voted
7-0 to end its investigation.
