Students keep
Kyle Field clean

Coke cups, trampled
peanut shells, napkins and
paper cartons — the after-
math of a gathering of the
Twelfth Man in Kyle Field.
Who is assigned the tedious
sk of cleaning Kyle Field af
ter a home football game?
Rather, who is allowed the pri
vilege? Student groups sign a
aiting list months in advance
;o pick up and sweep up the
;rash left after the games.
The reason — big bucks.
The Texas A&M Athletic
Department pays $1,500 for
dean-up after each game.
However, the offer is not open
to everyone. The Texas A&M
water polo club now has the
contract, and has had it for the
past several years. It in turn
sub-contracts part of the job to
student organizations on a
First come, first serve basis.
Cathy Cargin, water polo
club president, is in charge of
the sub-contracting. Cargin
opens up parts of the job to
other student groups depend
ing on how much the water
polo club members are able to
do. But the job is Filled for the
1983 season, with a waiting list
that rivals the one in the hous
ing office.
Groups can begin signing
up for next year’s season dur
ing the spring semester.
Fraternities, sororities, in
tramural clubs and the Corps
of Cadets all get involved in
the job. However, Corps out-
the
Fits seem to dominate
ject.
le pro-
E-l, the athletic outfit in
the Corps, has been con
tracted to clean the First deck
and the horseshoe area after
three games this year, at $400
per game.
Dennis Casper, first
sergeant for E-l, said the 45
men in his outfit can clean the
first deck in four hours. They
do it on Sunday mornings fol
lowing a game.
“The student side is a lot
cleaner than the Old Ag side,”
Casper said. The reason for
this is anybody’s guess — are
students neater than Old Ags,
or do Old Ags just have more
money to spend on snacks?

will be available to help him

said the upperclassmen are en
couraged to discuss with the
freshmen such topics as time

ielationships, expectations, anx
ieties and how to deal with social
environments.
Coldren said the program
also will help freshmen in their
careers.
The council is having
trouble recruiting fresh
men into the program.
Freshmen who are not
taking any business
courses or haven’t de
cided on their majors
are not getting in volved.
“Being involved and interact
ing with people in the program
will help develop leadership
qualities essential to the business
person,” Coldren said.
The council is having trouble
recruiting freshmen into the
program. He said freshmen who
are not taking any business
courses or haven’t decided on
their majors are not getting in
volved.
All freshmen are encouraged
to join even if they haven’t de
cided on a major, Coldren said.
Most of the students who have
joined the program are enthu
siastic about it.
Lori Biggs, a freshman mar
keting major, said the program
will be a great opportunity for
her to meet people.
“It will help me out to have
someone to talk to if I have a
problem because I don’t know
many people here,” she said.
Coldren said that in the fu
ture, advisers will tell students
about the program during
freshmen summer conferences.
He said he hopes that with the
help of more support and pub
licity more freshmen will join.
Post Oak Mall sponsoring
charity fundraiser bazaar
by Mitch Clendening
Battalion Reporter
This weekend Post Oak Mall
in College Station will give many
local charity groups the chance
to do some fundraising at the
Second Annual Community
Charity Bazaar.
“The mall’s going to be pretty
full,” Lisa Popham, Post Oak
Mall marketing director said.
Local non-proFit organiza
tions will man booths for the sale
of homemade goods and crafts.
She said the items will include
canned food, wooden toys and
Halloween decorations.
Popham said 34 charity and
fund-raising groups have re
sponded to the mail’s open in
vitation to participate. There
will be seven more booths than
last year. Although the bazaar
has almost reached its maximum

size of 40 booths, she said, orga
nizers will try to accommodate as
many groups as possible next
year.
A group must be a non-proFit
organization to participate in
the bazaar. A group can raise
funds for its organization or
contribute the money to another
charity, Popham said. The mall
office is providing the floors-
pace for the event free of charge
as a community service.
Popham said the bazaar was
created last year as a community
service project by the mall office.
“We have a lot of requests
from service organizations to
provide space for a fund-raising
booth, so we decided to set aside
two days a year and hold a
bazaar for this purpose,”
Popham said.
The mall office also provides
a community booth free to local
groups year-round, she said.
Popham said there will be a
wide variety of causes repre
sented at the event. Funds will
go a diversity of groups such as
Crime Stoppers, an organiza
tion that offers rewards for in
formation about unsolved
crimes and the Christian Chil
dren’s Fund, a group that pro
vides goods and services (such as
health care) to children in
underdeveloped countries.
The mall hosts several com
munity-oriented events every
year besides the bazaar, Popham
said. The Red Cross will sponsor
a booth to provide blood press
ure checks to mall customers la
ter this year, she said.
For November, mall officials
have scheduled Healthy Baby
Day to provide information ab
out infant health and care, she
said.
“The community does a lot
for Post Oak Mall, so we like to
do a lot for it,” Popham said.
