He has been a great friend to the students.’ Mucci’s other responsibilites at Texas A&M included manage ment decision-making in the MSC and supervising professional staff members. Mucci says that there are two projects here of which he is proud: His work with the Endowed Lecture Series because the result was a culmination of all of his prog ramming skills, and his work with the Grove because it now is on a sound financial basis and has be come a more popular entertain ment center. While at Texas A&M, Mucci says he has tried to produce prog rams in the most professional way possible, while realizing he is working with students and trying BOB BROWN UNIVERSAL TRAVEL COMPLETE, DEPENDABLE DOMESTIC AND WORLDWIDE TRAVEL ■ Airline Reservations ■ Hotel/Motel Accomodations ■ Travel Counsel ■ Rental Car Reservations ■ Tours ■ Charter Flights ■ FREE Ticket Delivery Bob Brown 846-8718 Pam & JoAnn 410 S.

He says that his goal for the fu ture is to become a director of a student center at a large state in stitution. “Unfortunately, I don’t expect an opening at A&M,” he says. “I can’t stress enough what a good program A&M has financial ly, physically and with human re lations,” Mucci says. “This cam pus has an extraordinary group of students and they are fantastic to work with. “There are about 1,700 active people involved in our programs, which is an extraordinary situation and the people are highly moti vated,” he says. “I think it is be cause of the tradition environ ment.” Mucci, a native of Lexington, Ky. has a bachelor’s degree in En glish and a master’s degree in business administration from the University of Kentucky. He will not be replaced in the immediate future. Most of his duties at the MSC will be assumed by Paul Striffoli- no, an MSC staff member. Mucci who has been employed by Texas A&M for three years, will leave Sept. 23. His position at OSU begins Oct. 1. by Holly Powell Battalion Reporter A contract employing mentally disabled people to pick up litter on the highways will be renewed in November, an officer for the Men tal Health Mental Retardation Au thority of Brazos Valley says. The new contract calls for two additional counties within the area to be cleaned and 14,000 work hours, contract procurement offic er John Smith says. The contract between MHMR and the State Department of Highways and Public Transporta tion was initiated in September 1982 and has been mutually be neficial to both parties, district maintenance engineer for the SDH&PT, WJ. Byford says. The clean-up crew consists of five workers and a supervisor who put the litter in garbage bags for the SDH&PT to pick up later. Highways to be cleaned up in the contract are in Leon, Robert son, Grimes, Washington, Brazos and Burleson counties. The two new counties to be serviced are Milam and Maddison. Public Affairs Officer Nick Tur- nham and District Maintenance Engineer W.J. Byford, agree that the program is not only good for the workers hut for the SDH&PT’ as well. “I believe that this program holds the best interest of the state and the public,” Byford says. The program has been so suc cessful that a new crew will be added to the program in Novem ber, Turnham says. “But MHMR does not deal only with the mentally handicapped,” Smith says, “We also deal with drug abuse, alcohol abuse and family counseling. ” The mentally disabled go through a program of personal and social adjustment training in the classroom, then go on to vocation al training. “This is just one step in the training process. We believe that handicapped people can be trained to become productive in dividuals,” Smith says. 20 books donated today Library to receive gifts by Linda Griggs Battalion Reporter The American Production and Inventory Control Society will donate about 20 hooks and study guides to the reserve section of the Sterling C. Evans Library at 3:30 today. “APICS encourages and assists educating in the area of produc tion and inventory control,” Ho ward Riley, publicity chairman for APICS, said. One of the group’s goals is to help students become certified in production and inventory man agement. The group’s concept is “students helping students,” APICS President David Lackore said. Students who have previous ly taken certification tests help other students prepare for it. “These books and study guides will be used as reference material for students and faculty to aid them in passing the certification test,” Riley said of the books that will be donated today. Graduating seniors Barbara Joe, Jon Banks and Kelly Shea will present the books to Evelyn Aldred, supervisor of the library reserve department. The organization is mainly for students with a curriculum in business analysis and industrial engineering. To become a member, students must have taken selected courses in business analysis and industrial engineering, have prior member ship in other APICS chapters or he a transfer student with the equivalent of the required classes. The group will meet at 7 tonight in 150 of the Blocker (A&A) Building. Stephanie Bowie, vice presi dent of the Houston senior chap ter of APICS, will speak at tlie meeting and will hold an all woman’s supper and cocktail party at 5 p.m. at Julie’s Place restaurant in College Station.
