The children, who call themselves “Hunger Busters,” are working in conjunction with People Feeding People, an Austin-based organiza tion, says Dr. Carolyn Ross, a Col lege Station practitioner. “We went to the children with facts about the conditions in Ethio- ia,” Ross says. “It was their idea to elp Ethiopia. Children have less hangups than adults. They see peo ple need help and they help them.” A sense of accomplishment is an other reason the fourth-graders of Henderson and Sul Ross Elementary Schools sponsor bake sales and car washes to reach the $50,000 goal, Ross says. “The kids are heroes to themsel ves,” Ross says. “So far they’ve col lected about $1,000. They come up with their own projects. All I do is provide ‘Hunger Buster’ t-shirts and the publicity." Although the children are enthu siastic about contributing to the fund, some parents are not, says Me linda Box, who teaches fourth grade at Henderson. “Parents are suspicious because they don’t know exactly where this money goes,” Box says. 4 We mail let ters home to inform the parents that the money goes toward food, shel ter, clothing and medical supplies.” About 95 percent of the money raised by the children goes to Ethio pia as direct relief, Ross says. “Most organizations like Red Cross keep 15 percent to 30 percent to cover administrative costs,” she says. “We promise to keep adminis trative costs down so almost all of the money can go where it’s mostly nee ded.” While students are raising money for Ethiopia, they also are learning about the country in social studies, Box says. “Because the students are aware of the problems in Ethiopia, it’s an ideal time to dispel myths like all Ethiopians are lazy,” Box says. “I even tie in nutrition discussions when we talk of Ethiopia’s medical conditions.” Even though the money needs to be raised by the end of May, Ross hopes tht “Hunger Busters” club will continue during the summer months. The students’ next project is a car wash May 4 at Red Lobster on Texas Ave. “Students from Henderson and Sul Ross are combining efforts to raise the money,” Ross says. “This project is bringing kids together to feed other kids.” Mark Sena, a freshman business major, attemps to feed some campus are used to having people around and can be ap- peanut butter on a stick to a squirrel.

MSC presents awards to outstanding individuals By SUSAN MCDONALD Reporter The Memorial Student Center awards banquet was well-organized, very-reflective and well-representa tive of the past 35 years of the MSC, said Denis Davis, newly-elected MSC Council president. Pat Wood III, 1984-85 MSC Council president, received the Thomas H. Rountree Award. This award is given annually to the out standing leader in the MSC. “I respect all the people who have gotten it (the awarcl) before,” Wood said. He said he feels honored that he “can be in that crowd.” About 250 awards were given at the banquet. More than 7,000 com mittee members are involved with the student union. Recipients of the J. Wayne Stark Distinguished Service Award were Davis of marketing and personnel, Kathleen Mitchell of entertainment programs, Timothy Samson of fi nance, Cory Courtney of administra tion and Leilani Balaam of pro grams.

BrazosBanc has been the mortgage lending leader in Central Texas since 1919. No one offers more products (fixed rates, buy downs, ARMs, etc.). No one offers more terms (as few as 15 and as many as 30 years to repay). And no one has better rates (shop rates before you commit. Ask about application fees and commitment policy. BrazosBanc has no application fee. Our commitment policy is very beneficial: we’ll never charge a rate higher than your 45 day commitment. If the market falls during the paperwork period, we’ll charge you less.) No one says “Yes” in less time. BrazosBanc usually can approve a loan and issue a commitment in two weeks. Some institutions take months. If you are not sure this is the time to build or buy, talk to your Realtor—then come to any BrazosBanc office.
