First week United Way drive
collects 9.1 percent of goal
By CAMILLE BROWN
Staff Writer
The first round of reports of the
United Way campaign’s progress,
which were released this week,
howed the response from die corn
’s and Texas A&M’s cam
paigns were ‘super’, Susie Vann, the
University drive coordinator, said.
“This is super compared to last
ear at this time,” Vann said. “We
are way ahead of ourselves com-
lared to last year. I just hope we can
eepthe momentum going.”
The results received Tuesday
morning revealed the community to-
at $38,548 with A&M donating
120,27801'the total.
The contribution from A&M
makes up about 52 percent of the
campaign funds received so far. The
$20,278, contributed by the A&M
System sub-division and the Univer
sity sub-division, represents 18.4
percent of the University’s $1 10,000
goal. No results have been reported
f rom the student sub-division of the
A&M effort.
University staff and faculty are re
sponsible for most of the A&M con
tribution. Since the campaign began
one week ago, they have given a total
of $16,222 — 29 percent of a
$55,000 goal. The rest of the A&M
contribution came from system em
ployees.
Executive Director of the Brazos
County United Way Bob Fleischer
said, “The University’s contribution
makes up a major chunk of our
goal.”
I he large contribution received
from the University after only one
week of the campaign is remarkable,
he said.
Campaign workers were pleased
with the $38,548, which is 9.1 per
cent of the $425,000 goal.
Celia Stallings, drive chairman for
the county-wide campaign, said,
“First of all, I am heartened by this
very early report because it reflects
only a few business responses. But it
also points up the need for our vol
unteers to step up their efforts.”
One unanticipated boost came
from a $3,000 contribution raised at
an auction held during the Creek-
side Grand Opening.
The money raised by the United
Way goes to support service agencies
in Brazos County.
Immigration law — fact, fiction
By SARAH OATES
Staf f Writer
The facts and fallacies of immi
gration law sometimes seem indis
tinguishable from one another. But
foreign students who want to main
tain their current status or prepare
for future careers in the United
States should know what is true and
what is not.
Samuel Tidwell, a Dallas attorney
specializing in immigration law,
spoke Tuesday night at a seminar ti
tled “Immigration Law: Under
standing the Present; Planning the
Future.” The seminar was presented
by the Texas A&M International
Students Association. Tidwell dis
cussed some of the misconceptions
people have concerning immigra
tion laws.
“For example,” he said, “An ap
proved visa doesn’t guarantee entry
tothe States. It only means you can
apply for entry.”
Another common myth is that
marriage to an American citizen will
guarantee an immigrant permanent
residence. Unfortunately, Tidwell
said, some people make a career of
marrying immigrants for a fee.
Usually, the local immigration office
is aware of this person’s activities
and declares the marriage fraudu
lent. Tidwell said one of every three
marriages to immigrants is fraudu
lent and can be criminally pros
ecuted.
He said a fraudulent marriage is
one of three offenses for which an
immigrant can be deported. The
others are narcotics convictions and
smuggling illegal aliens into the
country.
Tidwell said immigrants often do
not realize that filing for an ap
proved permanent resident petition
only means that person qualifies for
one. It is not a guarantee of being al
lowed to remain in the country.
Adoption by an American citizen
is another popular misconception,
Tidwell said. Many immigrants
adopted by American families don’t

realize they must be 16-years-old or
younger to claim the adoption as a
reason for permanent resident sta
tus.
Tidwell said that people often cite
the “seven year rule” as a reason why
they should not be deported. It is
true, he said, that those who have
lived in the United States for seven
years can file to delay deportation.
However, to remain in the country
they also must prove that leaving
would cause them “extreme hard
ship.
“The first requirement is easy to
prove,” he said, “but the second is
extremely difficult.”
He cited as an example a boy who
was brought to the United States at
the age of three days. Years later, he
was allowed to remain in the country
because he had no family in his
home country and did not speak the
language.
