Participants and sponsors are
needed for the 1983 Bryan/Col
lege Station Holiday Parade.
The Parsons' Mounted
Cavalry and seven bands, in
cluding the Aggie Band, have
entered the event, as well as sev-
eral groups from Bryan.
However, there still are not
enough entries. In order to fill
the parade, the sign-up deadline
has been extended indefinitely.
In keeping with this year’s
theme, “Christmas 2000,’’
Astronaut Donald Peterson will
be the grand marshall.
Participants are needed in all
categories: floats, bands, mar
ching units, mounted units and
specialty units. Entrants must
pay a $10 fee.
The floats will be judged in
divisions — elementary school,
junior and high school, universi
ty, adult, youth, and small and
large businesses.
Division winners will receive
$50 and a framed photo of their
entry mounted on a plaque.
They also will be eligible for the
$150 grand prize.
Those interested in entering a
float must supply the name and
description of the float when
submitting an application.
There are 20 float slots available
in the parade, and they are sub
ject to approval. Sponsors also
will be needed.
The parade will be at 3 p.m.
Sunday, Dec. 4. It will proceed
down Texas Avenue from Uni
versity Drive to Villa Maria.
Entry forms and information
are available through the Cham
ber of Commerce office at 693-
6552. Donations from sponsors
also will be accepted.

fifexas A&M was one of the
irst to receive the PLATO prog
am. The University was
elected because it had already
ecided to participate in a simi-
ir program, Dr. John Painter,

culum.
“The University has purch
ased a total of 20 terminals,” he
says. “This fall students are us
ing those 20 terminals to study
FORTRAN, freshman chemis
try and freshman physics,” he
said.
Painter said a PLATO calcu
lus course is a possibility for the
spring semester, but the mathe
matics department has not made
a decision.
The Texas A&M computer
facility is worth more than $2
million, he said. Control Data
has donated $30,000 worth of
equipment.
Painter said though the prog
ram seems to be successful, the
University does not have
enough terminals.
“We only have enough equip
ment to handle 200 (students)
for each course,” he said.
The PLATO project, named
after the Greek philosopher, is
only a pilot project, but Painter
said he believes it will be around
for a long time.
