Frat to sponsor island bash
to raise donations for MDA
By MIKE DAVIS
Staff Writer
Hawaiian skirts, exotic scenery
and bronzed bodies — a mini-tropi
cal vacation right here in Bryan-Col-
lege Station.
The Phi Gamma Delta fraternity
is sponsoring a “Fiji Islander” party
Thursday from 8 p.m. to midnight
at the Brazos County Pavillion to
benefit the Muscular Dystrophy As
sociation. 1
Tommy Woelfel, “Fiji Islander”
chairman, said the party is the last
chance for Texas A&M students to
secure the $20,()()() goal for MDA.
“The $20,000 is the University
goal,” Woelfel said. “If Texas A&M
raises the $20,000 for MDA they will
send a representative to the Jerry
Lewis telethon in the fall.”
Woelfel said that to reach the
goal, the “Fiji Islander” party must
raise $4,414.
The “Fiji Islander” party will fea
ture a six-piece band, “Pirahna,”
which plays top 40 contemporary
and soul music. Free beer and 7-Up
will be available, Woelfel said, and
the El l oro Cafe will be selling faji
tas.
T ickets are $5 per person pre-sale
or $6 at the door. Tickets can be
bought in the Memorial Student
Center and the Commons Wednes-

Craft center offers crash mini courses
By KIMBERLY PETTIBON
Reporter
The MSC Craft Center is offering
Texas A&M students and area resi
dents a chance to “be creative”
through crash craft classes, a craft

dates, times and fees are available:
• Airbrushed T-shirts — April

• Basket Weaving — May 2, 6

• Cutting Boards — April 29 and
30, 6 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. $12;
• Glass Etching — April 29, 6

Wayne Helton, supervisor of the

The fees will pay for materials
needed for projects in each
workshop except for the T-shirts
and sweatshirts for the airbrushing
clays, Helton said. Participants must
supply the shirts. The fees also will
be put into the craft fund and used
for advertising and purchasing tools,
he s;ild.
In addition, Helton said the
classes are worth the money because
qualified individuals such as profes
sional artists, practicing indepen
dent craftsmen and others skilled in
their hobbies will act as instructors
f or the courses.

of the craft center, said that the
crash craft courses offer peop

“For example, since it’ssprini

Computer error ends in taxes paid late
Associated Press
DALLAS — A computer snafu
delayed payments by 255 Texas
mortgage lenders and in turn made
more than 100,000 Texas homeown
ers’ city, county and school taxes
late, officials said.
And some of those taxpayers may
not even realize they accounts are
delinquent, according to Assistant
Texas Attorney General Steve Gard
ner said Monday.
“It’s a huge problem,” Gardner
’ zhi
said. “That’s why we re trying to
work with them (the lenders) if we
can.”
At the least, the taxpayers will be
unable to deduct their tax payments
on 1984 federal income tax returns,
Gardner said. In addition, they
might be subject to penalties because
of late payments.
At the worst, some homeowners
could face delinquency notices that
threaten (he eventual loss of their
homes, he said.
Because of computer problems,
many lenders missed a Jan. 1 dead
line for paying local taxes, he said.
After Jan. 31, a taxpayer can be
found to he delinquent if local taxes
have not been paid.
Since the Jan. 31 deadline, some
tax payments have been made, he
said.
A mortgage lender typically col
lects a homeowner’s properlyu
during the year as part of (felt
monthly mortgage paymentIti
puts the money into an earn
(ount, and at the end of the yean
taxes are paid to tax collectors.
II the lender did not pay then
until January, the tax dedin
could not he taken until the T"
return. And if it didn’t pay ti
ter Jan. 31, the account isdeliifi
and subject to penalties.
