Counselors at the Good Sa
maritan Pregnancy Service say
they will do anything they can
to help a woman who is trou
bled by her pregnancy — ex
cept one thing. They will not
refer her to an abortion clinic.
Good Samaritan, located in
the Pines Professional Building
on West Brookside Road off
South College Avenue, was be
gun by St. Mary’s Catholic
Church, and although it no
longer has an official church af
filiation, it has retained the
Catholic stand against abortion.
“We are the alternative to
abortion,” director Beverly Og
den says. “Most girls come from
low income groups and are just

concerned with day-to-day sur
vival. They find out they’re pre
gnant and don’t know what to
do. We show her that there is a
way to have her baby, rather
than having an abortion.”
Good Samaritan was begun
three years ago by Father A1
Palermo of St. Mary’s Church.
As religious counselor, Palermo
says he tries to show women the
religious aspects of abortion.
“We help the girl to make the
decision that is right for her,”he
says. “She comes first. Our basic
concern though, is finding al
ternatives to abortion.”
The Good Samaritan Preg
nancy Service offers counseling
and financial assistance for wed
or unwed pregnant women who
do not want an abortion. They
refer women to adoption and
welfare agencies, to homes such
as the Edna Gladney Home in
Fort Worth, and to doctors who
charge little or nothing for pre
natal care.
Although some of the volun
teers and counselors are Catho
lic, Good Samaritan is not a
Catholic organization. Palermo
said people of various denomi
nations come to volunteer or to
get help and advice. Good Sa
maritan counseled over 300
women aged 13 to 37 last year.
Beverly Ogden, who has
worked with pregnancy coun
seling for five years, says that as
a referral service, Good Samari
tan suggests doctors, adoption
agencies, and such government
welfare programs as Aid for
Dependent Children. Odgen
says some girls have no home,
family or job and need financial
assistance. Good Samaritan
helps with medical expenses
from donations received, but is
on a limited budget.
“We ask the girls to pay as
much as they can,” Ogden says.
“Doctors do help. We have
some who are also against abor
tion. They charge little or noth
ing for prenatal care, but we
can only send them so many
girls.”

Students to spend
$2 million at Padre
By Karen Wallace

The first phase of devel

says Dr. Mark L. Moijey, vile
chancellor for research and cor

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND —
Officials estimate more than
100,000 vacationing students
will spend around $2 million on
this South Texas island resort
and surfers’ haven during
spring break next month.
Although most of them dress
like beach bums while frolicking
up and down the Gulf of Mex
ico beach and sand dunes, a
Chamber of Commerce survey
shows many of the youngsters
come well heeled when liber
ated from the classroom.
“A survey done of students
who come to the island for their
ring break vacations shows
at 49 percent of them come
here with between $300 and
$1,000 to spend on their vaca
tion.
“Multiply that by the vast
number of students who come
sp
tn;
AGGIE
here and you have a very signif
icant percentage of the tourist
dollar for any one month out of
the calendar year,” said Coleen
Carnevale, promotions director
for the Chamber of Commerce.
The study, based on a survey
of 4,391 students taken over a
two-year period by a New York
marketing research firm, said 8
percent of the students bring
from $5,000 to $10,000 and an
other 5 percent come with more
than $10,000.
Most of the throng will be on
the island between March 6 and
March 18 to join in two con
certs, beach games, dances and
other events being sponsored
by beer breweries, sun tan lo
tion manufactures and film
producers.
A concert by the beach music
duo Jan and Dean will take
place on March 15, while Joe
“King” Carrasco will peform on
March 11, both sponsored by
major breweries.
“The first phase includes
roads, landscaping and utilities
and begins this year on 110
acres of the 318-acre park,”
Money says.
Development of the park is
beginning on the west side of
campus between University
Drive, Jersey Street and the
West Bypass. However, there
still seems to be some confusion
about the purpose of the park.
Money says.
“This isn’t a real estate devel
opment,” he says. “We aren’t
trying to move the College Sta
tion and Bryan busineses to the
park site. Rather, we want to
provide a site that will attract re
search oriented, high technol
ogy industries,” he says.
The University pays for land
scaping such as roads and utili
ties and will sell park spaces to
industries, Money says. These
iridustries are in charge of any
construction on their spaces, he
says.
Money, who directed the
University of Utah Research
Park for 12 years, says having a
research park near or on a uni
versity campus is beneficial to
both the inaustries and the uni
versity.
First, both will benefit from
the cooperative research pro
jects that can be done between
private enterprises and the uni-
