They’re “a friendly service,” says Pauline Cura, Hospitality recep tions director. “I provide people,” she says. “We do more than just serve food. We mix and mingle with the guests and meet the guest of honor and try to make them feel at home. “We try to give them a good im pression of our school. That’s why they call us Hospitality. - “I work mainly with all the cam pus organizations,” she said. “But we also do receptions for the adminis tration and for the community out side A&M.” Kim Wallace, coordinator of Hos pitality’s administrative receptions, says she is also in the “people” busi ness. "We don’t organize the recep tions," Wallace says. “We provide hosts for them. Last week, for exam ple, we hosted a reception for the Rhodes scholars who were here on campus. We also serve the Presi dent’s box at the home football g ames, as well as hosting the buffet efore the game.” Cura says if a group comes on campus, such as an orchestra, Hospi tality can also host a reception for it. Cura says all members of Hospi tality are encouraged to attend an eti quette workshop. “We have a guest speaker, who is an expert in manners and etiquette, come in and give a workshop every year,” Cura says. “We also have punch and a cake so that they (the members) can practice serving.” In addition to the reception serv ice, Hospitality also provides tours of the A&M campus tailored to fit each groups’or individual’s need. “We can do any type of tour, from the Board of Regents to the whole campus in general,” says Jim Hart, Hospitality’s tours director. Hart says most tours are given to parents’ groups. “We give a lot of tours to mothers’ clubs and parents groups on Parents’ Day,” Hart says. Hart says he also can arrange bus tours of the campus with A&M Bus Operations. Like the reception hosts, the tour guides also attend a workshop. “We don’t try to teach them about the campus — everyone pretty well knows about all the traditions,” Hart says. “We try to bring out some of the lesser-known trivia and teach them how to present it in a meaning ful way”. Both the reception and tour serv ices are free of charge and are open to all campus and A&M-afflliated or ganizations. Cura says she requires at least a two week notice for receptions, and Hart, depending on the size of the tour, requires 10 day notice. Travis County officials study zoo proposal Associated Press AUSTIN — Travis County commissioners have told support ers of establishing a zoo that put ting a $25 million zoo bond pro- E osal on the Nov. 5 ballot would epremature. The commissioners said they support the concept of building a zoo but indicated that they would feel more comfortabe holding a non-binding referendum Nov. 5 to gauge public interest. If voters respond favorably, a vote on the general obligation bonds could be taken next year. County Clerk Doris Shropshire said Tuesday is the last day the commissioners can decide if the zoo referendum will be included in the November general elec tion. Number of Hispanics elected in U.S. rising Associated Press WASHINGTON — Hispanics held 3,202 elective offices this year, a 2 percent increase over 1984 and a continuation of an increase that be gan in 1980, according to the Na tional Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials. Dr. Harry Pachon, executive di rector of the group, said in a news release, “Figures like these demon strate that Hispanic political power has moved from a potential to an emerging reality.” NALEO said there are 1,475 His panic elected officials Texas. In 1984, Texas elected 48 Hispanics, more than any other state. The group said 15 percent of the Hispanic elected officials are women. After the 1984 elections, Texas and New Mexico had elected more Hispanics while California and New York kept the same number, the group said, hewer iTispa fice in Arizona and Colorado. New York, California and Texas have the largest Hispanic popula tions, but New York nas the lowest number of Hispanic elected officials, the group said. New York has 65 elected officials. Hispanics hold no seats in the U.S. Senate, but there are 11 congress men, one governor, four state exec utives, 115 state legislators, 292 county officials, 1,041 municipal of ficials, 527 judicial or law enforce ment officials, 143 mayors and 1,212 members of local school boards who are Hispanic. “These numbers are all the more remarkable when we consider that 40 percent of the Latino population was under the age of 18 in 1980 and that one out of three adults in the Latino community are legal resident aliens who are not yet citizens and not eligible to vote,” Pachon said. State employees suing Texas prison system Associated Press AUSTIN — A state employees’ i ; Union is suing the Texas prison sys tem over an administrative directive that bans the solicitation of new members on prison property. The lawsuit contends that the | Texas State Employees Union was discriminated against in a July 23 di rective from Lane McCotter, direc tor of the Texas Department of Cor rections. Eliseo Medina, the union’s orga- | nizing coordinator, said the prison system permits solicitation of em ployees on prison property for char ities and for expressions of sympa thy to fellow employees, but not for union representation. “TSEU does not object to solicita tions by charities or for gifts for em ployees,” Medina said. “What we ob ject to is the prohibition on union solicitation.” He also charged that it is “disgra ceful that TDC administrators should be spending taxpayer money for union busting.” The directive said employees could solicit union membership and that the right to solicit “will be pro tected by allocating a portion of the employee bulletin board for notices. “However, other distributions of literature or solicitations by an em ployee are prohibited anywhere else on the TDC premises,” it said. Since the directive was issued, the lawsuit said, prison employees en gaged in union activities have been forced to cancel a meeting that was to be held on prison property. ialnc- 25c Draught Beer $1 Pitchers FRIDAY NIGHT 5:30-11:30 Get ready for Yell Practice with September Special: All you can eat Cat Fish $5.99.
