Each volunteer at Monday night’s kick-off gala got a scoop of ice cream, went through a line of syrups and assorted toppings and ended up with creative variations of the ice cream sundae. Bob Anderson, the master of cer emonies at the party, was quick to point out the significance of begin ning the fund drive with a build- your-own-sundae social. “When you make your own sun dae you start from the bottom and build your way to the top,” Ander son said. “That’s where we’re start ing—at the bottom.” He said when the goal is reached, “we can put the cherry on top” of the campaign. “Today we’re eating ice cream, but tomorrow we’re going to start working,” he said. Working closely with the county wide campaign leaders are those A&rM volunteers in charge of coordi nating the university’s campaign. Of the $425,000 the county intends to raise, the Texas A&M University System hopes to raise $1 10,000. Although last year’s university campaign fell short of the goal, the A&M officials running this year’s campaign say the new goal is very obtainable. Dr. John Koldus, vice president for student services at A&M and as sistant drive chairman for the United Way, said he is confident that A&M can reach the goal. “We’ve got some good people working on the campaign this year,” Koldus said. “The staff is enthusias tic. The students are enthusiastic. The key is tremendous team effort. You bet we can do it this year.” The Texas A&M University Sys tem part of the Brazos County fund drive is divided into three sections: the system agencies and the colleges of engineering and agriculture, the University, and the student body. The A&M drive was divided into these areas to make coordinating the fund drive easier. The University’s drive officially began Sept. 21 with a kick-of f break fast hosted by President Vandiiej; Vandiver and Chancellor AitW Hansen support the United Hi fund drive and encourage studeri; faculty and staff to help A&M ret its goal. The A&M System and thecolW of engineering and agricultures begin their drive at a breakfastj Monday. Ceila Stallings, drive chairmajr the county-wide campaign, is (j one in charge of pulling off died ; tire fund drive campaign. Shelt about 400 volunteers helping if talk to people in the cotnmunitjtl individually ask for donations.StJ said making this personal coniij with people is essential to the suae? of the campaign. 3601 E. 29th Street Brookwood Square 2 blocks South of Bryan High School Clubs sell wares in MSC before football games It s A 42_ Suiv. Sept.3o a\ Hensel fttrk l.00-5.00p«- Area 3 All T Dembers are Urged 4o be'fhere. By MARCY BASILE Reporter Before each home football game the Memorial Student Cen ter becomes a mini-shopping mall. On-campus groups, student organizations and even mothers’ clubs set up tables there to sell their wares. The Houston Area Aggie Mothers’ Club makes most items available at their table in the MSC. Items for sale range from hand-painted visors to custom- needlepointed clocks. The club also custom makes anything within reason, said Barbara Ad air, ways and means chairman. One of the unusual items at the table is a king-size maroon and white comforter to be given away in May. Adair kept the comforter at her house while women in the club worked on it. “We put the comforter on our teasipper son’s bed and took a picture of it just for fun,” she said. The club has more than 600 members. “Every Tuesday, 38 mothers and grandmothers meet to work on projects and come up with new ideas,” said Adair. “Of course the club is not just re stricted to Aggie moms.” All money raised by the club goes to A&M. So far it has do nated $30,000. The Texas A&M University Chapter of American Society for Agricultural Engineers has sold miniature maroon cotton bales in the MSC for more than three years. This year’s sales slogan is “Cotton Bound in ’84.” The cot ton bales sell for $3. The cotton bales, which are bound by maroon burlap, weigh approximately two pounds. Each bale is handmade in a workshop by agricultural engineering ma- jors. Alpha Phi Omega, a national service fraternity, operates the APO Ticket Mart three hours prior to each home football game. The ticket mart helps match peo ple wanting to buy tickets with people trying to sell tickets. The available tickets, usually on the former students’ side, sell at or below face value. Tickets that are not sold by the ticket mart are either donated or de stroyed at the seller’s request. Anti-terrorist program educates to protect By KIM TREESE Rept>rter Today they are shooting at tar gets. Bu er day these peo ple may g at an all-too-real human target as they try to protect a foreign dignitary, a wealtny busi nessman or a government VIP. They are participants in the Exec utive/Dignitary Protectional and Anti- Terrorist Tactics Program of the Texas Engineering Extension Service headquartered on the Texas A&M campus. Chief Patrick D. Dalager, head of the TEEX Law Enforcement and Se curity Training Division at Texas A&M, said he drives the participants hard. Handling stress is an impor tant part of the training, he said. The program, taught several times each year, enables participants to identify extremist and terrorist organizations, to develop a protec tive relationship and to perform risk analysis. Participants also learn to prepare extensive dignitary personal security profiles, perform surveillance and countersurveillance and identify personal stress factors and stress re duction techniques.
