You could ‘twin’ the theater [make it bigger, but it’s not juable as a llieater anymore,” Mark Schulman, whose fa ir owns the theater, he value of the theater lies ctly underneath it — the lo- wn.

One idea presented by the College Station City Council was to tear down the theater and build a five-tier parking ga rage, but Schulman says that E roposal was rejected in a urry. “We want to see something good go in there,” Schulman says. “We’re interested in seeing the Campus (Theater) and Northgate survive so that Ag gies can go back years from now and say,‘Yeah, that used to be the old Campus Theater.’” The Campus has been in ev ery aerial photograph ever taken of Texas A&M, Schulman says. That may seem like a spec tacular feat, he says, but the the ater has been around more than 50 years. Schulman says he is inter ested in seeing the theater be come something for the stu dents to enjoy. “We want to help out the stu dents by offering them some thing unique to the College Sta tion area, perhaps a club with live entertainment,” he says. But not just anyone can buy the theater. The buyer must meet certain qualifications, Schulman says, to insure that the Campus survives 50 more years, even if it never shows an other movie. “The prospective buyer must have good intentions and a good financial background for us to consider them,” he says. “We want to make the Cam pus good for College Station, good for Texas A&M, and good for us,” Schulman says. As of now, the Campus The ater still is showing movies — mostly X-rated — on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, and will continue to do so, Schulman says, until a buyer is found. Students questioned about the possibility of the Campus Theater’s becoming a night club or restaurant liked the idea. By PATTI FLINT Reporter The 125 children in the vil lage of Amaga, Columbia will be fed for an entire year as a re sult of the $25,000 raised for the Texas A&M Village of Hope. By phone Monday, Dr. Rich ard Scott Kellner, the project’s advisor, presented a check for $24,500 to Sally Struthers, the chairperson of the Christian Childrens Fund. The money will provide food, medical and dental care, and an education for the children of the village and their families for a year. The rest of the money has been raised but not yet delivered, so it will be saved for next year Kellner said. Kellner, who has been a vol unteer for the CCF for 10 years, proposed the project to Struth ers last April. It represents the First time a group has attempted to sponsored an entire village. The Village of Hope has re ceived commendations from the Texas Legislature, the De partment of State, President Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II, and most recently from Prince Charles. With the success of A&M’s Village of Hope, more than a dozen other universities have begun sponsorships of whole villages Kellner said. “We have the right idea. may sound corny, to be any hope of world peace, it will come from projects like this. It certainly won’t come government to government,” he said after the presentation. During the presentation the telephone was hooked up to speakers so those attending could hear the conversation. Eddie Stoker, chief coordina tor for the Village of Hope, told Struthers that the check “rep resents our love to help needy children all over the world.” It “On behalf of all the children I thank you from the bottom of my Valentine heart. If I were there I’d hug everyone of you whether you wanted it or not,” Struthers said. NOW SERVING LUNCH SPECIAL 11 am-2pm Mon. -Fri. Original Chinese Cuisine Hunan-Szechwan- Mandarin Quick service.
