During 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
'Vc’ur hauled more people
out of the arena in that event
than in the regular contestant
events.” he sauf
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 t» participate Bookings

p.m. Wednesday at 822-4462.

Melinda Morrow, a summer

the Brazos County CxHirthouse,
is coordinating this year’s sum ;
mer program

fourth year, sponsors educa
tional lours of the community
once a week for six weeks. Mor
row said. A maximum of ^chil
dren enroll in the program each

not an admission of guilt to any
crime. Morrow said, it’s only an
option to being tijed 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 KAMI the children tested
equipment and were able to
watch themselves on television
monitors, she said.
In the math labs, students tak
ing math c lasses at the Universi
ty plaved math games with the
children, taught them some
math skils and showed them
how to use a computer. Morrow
said.
Other tours have included the
Veterinary School and the
Creamery, she said.
ITie final tour for this sum
mer will he Tuesday. The chil
dren will ttnir the facilities of the
I exas AicM Athletk Depart
ment, Mrjrrow said. The tour
mav inclisrle a visit with some
