razos Beautiful is trying to

ig people aware of the litter,
“The Bryan-College Station
area has a solid waste problem,”
Suzy Terral, executive coordi
nator of Brazos Beautiful, says.
“Getting the public to recog
nize that there is a litter problem
and changing their attitudes ab
out the way to handle it is our
main goal,” she says.
Those attitudes are changing
mainly because of Brazos
Beautiful’s door-to-door public

dences, Terral says.

$2,000 off the barbecue,” he
said.
This year’s budget for bonfire
is expected to exceed $10,000.
The University will provide
$5,500 for bonfire expenses,
which will come from the
Memorial Student Center book
store project fund.
Kathy Seeberger, women’s
coordinator for bonfire, said
women’s residence halls will
raise money for bonfire by sell
ing back rubs and donuts and by
sponsoring a dance.
Last year, the women’s dorms
raised about $5,000.
The money raised for bonfire
is used to buy fuel for the trucks
and to purchase bailing wire,
rope and other items for the
bonfire, Hausman said.
Tickets for the barbecue are
$4.75 for students and $7 for
non-students and may be purch
ased today at the MSC or tomor

“In addition, they will transport

“They need something a cow
can eat, not another note at the

tragic situation is that help is, li-
terally, right around the
corner.”
Several million bushels of the
damaged grain are stored in the
middle of drought-parched
West Texas.
Sen. John Tower, R-Texas,
said the legislation was an “effec

needed grain to West Texas ran

herds to the worst drought in
almost 30 years.”
“I am confident this provision
will be passed in the House and

“We go to businesses and in
dustries and tell them about
Brazos Beautiful,” Terral says.
“Usually they are glad to help.”
Helping means various things
from putting trash cans in the
parking lot to mowing the small
strip of bushy grass along the
building, she says.
“When one man mows his
lawn and his neighbor sees him,
the neighbor is influenced to go
out and mow his own lawn,” she
says.

influenced by their neighbors,
she says.
Brazos Beautiful, the local
chapter of the Clean Commun
ity System, is a division of Keep
America Beautiful.
Keep America Beautif ul sup
plies step by step instructions for
a photometric index, which me
asures the amount of litter in a
specified area, Terral says.
A map of the area is divided
into sections, cut up, and put
into an envelope, Terral says.
Then six areas are randomly
picked from the envelope for
each survey, she says.
Parking lots, vacant lots, load
ing docks, commercial garbage
containers, street blocks and
street right-of-ways in Bryan-
College Station were surveyed
June 30 and July 1, 1982, when
the photographs were taken.
A team of six volunteers,
three from College Station and
three from Bryan, are sent to the
selected areas to take photo
graphs, Terral says. Then the
photographs are blown up and a
count of the litter is made, she
says.
Photographs taken in this
past August indicate a decrease
in the pieces of litter per photo
graph, Terral says.
Keep America Beautiful re
quires that its chapters take sur
veys every six months, Terral
says.
