First, Escalante says, the Corps wants to raise $25,000 to establish one-time scholarships for students in memory of former cadets who are killed while serving in the military. Second, the Corps wants to raise $25,000 to put up billboards in ma jor Texas cities, Escalante says. Don Shafer, former student and creator of die Hullabaloo game, says, “This is not to advertise ‘Come join the Corps,’ but to give the Corps bragging rights like ‘The Heart of Aggieland — The Corps of Ca dets.’ ” And last, the Corps wants to be the first student organization in the nation to set up a $100,000 endow ment to use as cash awards for out standing teachers at the University, Escalante says. He says that recogni tion is usually given to teachers who receive grants for research and for those who get their articles pub lished — but not for those who ded icate themselves to excel in the class room. Each cadet will be asked to send 20 brochures about the Hullabaloo game to former and current stu dents next week, Shafer says. The game is played like Trivial Pursuit, Shafer says. Players try to answer questions in dif ferent catego ries to acquire pieces to “till up their pies," Shafer says. In the Hullabaloo game, though, "the pies" are rectan gles with four holes instead of Triv ial Pursuit’s six and the “pie pieces" are the letters T, A, M and U. The four categories lor the game are: traditions and history, pictured on the game hoard as the bonfire; sports at A&M, pictured as Kyle Field; campusology and the Corps, pictured as the old Haiti depot; and academics, pictured as the Academic Building. A sample question from the cat egory of Campusology and the Corps is, “Where on campus can you stand with your feet in the Cull of Mexico and still see the Texas Pan handle?” Answer: The Systems Building (there is a huge map ol Texas on the floor). One thousand games were sold in two weeks during December 1PH-4, Shafer says, and onl\ a few games have been sold in the bookstores. The main market is through the Corps since the cadets are from all over the state and can reach the' most former students, he savs. Uni 1 Aggies' victory over tu]onl)J week before the games camtl Shafer savs. Ir Recalling ""'I ■!'‘"(f'lii'cLgrience ol r T A 'TV'S Shafer also savs he wouldn’t mind giving exclusive selling rights to the Corps beca tse it’s a fund-raising project which could he used every veat. Shafer says he and his wife, Brenda, co-creator of die Hullaba loo game, are continually updating the questions and throwing out questions which maybe aren’t as in teresting as others they dig up or are sent to them from people who have played the game. “We even had questions about the (hits membeis ol the Corps losiBID Te> u.'im 1m .il.inic s.ivs ll.iuO'VChant live lines, lie will rect Tuesday a .i spec ial insi^iiu. ami il U b erv j tt .

He said he thinks this is a small amount to have raised on a campus of 36,000 students. International Students’ Associa tion Advisfcr Tina Watkins said there are 145 Mexican students at A&M. Fundraising efforts will continue through this week and next, Gonza lez-Mendez said. Alpha Kappa Alpha, Omega Phi Alpha and Delta Sigma Theta will have tables set up at various loca tions’around campus, lie said. Gonzalez-Mendez. said people who contribute at these tables will be able to specify how their money is to be channelled. “ Through (San Antonio Mayor) Henry Cisneros’ direct aid program, we are buying medicine to send di rectly to Mexico City,” he said. Donations are being collected for the Reel (boss, Gonzalez-Mendez' Siiid. The Brazos Valley Red Cross has collected $2,166 said Disaster Chair- She said some of the groups con tributing are Bryan Lodge Sons of Herman, Call America employees, Layman’s Prayer meeting and Bra zos Bank employees. A recent Dallas Morning News ar ticle said problems have resulted from an overabundance of materials and provisions in Mexico City. Therefore, Magouirk said, the Brazos Valley Reel Cross is fund raising to help earthquake victims, not collecting clothing and food. She said the Red Cross will be working toward five main goals in Mexico City: • Establishing aid centers for children and the elderly in the hard est hit areas. • Providing assistance for the two Mexico City hospitals that were de molished. • Providing assistance and coun seling for amputees who lost limbs either during the earthquake or din ing rescue efforts: • Improving Mexican Ham radio operations. • Developing a tracing unit within the Mexican Red Cross to handle health and welfare inquiries. Magouirk said no additional vol unteers have been called for at this man Marilyn Magouirk. time. Gilley’s owner Indicted for attempted murder Associated Press HOUSTON — A Harris County grand jury indicted the owner of Gil ley’s Club, a popular country-west ern honky tonk, on attempted mur der charges against the advice of prosecutors. District Attorney John B. Holmes Jr. and Pasadena police say the in dictments, returned Monday against chib owner Sherwood Cryer, are the result of a “witchhunt.” Hove you enjoyed thi/ week'/ /peciol promotion He is accused of firing a shotgun at karate instructor Randall Everett Johnston, 27. Johnston and another martial arts teacher, Joseph Fitzgerald Acton, were walking outside the Pasadena building where they worked Nov. 26 when the shooting occurred. Over turned himself in to author ities Tuesday and was released after posting $5,000 bond, said Assistant District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal. Cryer said the indictment, which also charges him with aggravated as sault, was a “totally political" attempt to retaliate against Pasadena Police Chief David Mullican, who has served as head of security at Gilley’s. “Well, that grand jury has four of (Pasadena Mayor) John Ray Harri son’s men on it,” Cryer said. “One of them said that the beer joint indus try runs Pasadena, so they’re all after me. Just check out who’s on the grand jury.” Grand juror Gene Milligan of Clear Lake criticized Mullican for the department’s failure to follow proper procedures and for not “fol lowing up” on the case. m serving on opportunit What’s up 'around the program o Hipsen up “I also cai vivid menu Wednesday Hood whet MSC AGGIE CINEMA: ptexents S.iigm'm the Rain" lo p m. in SOI Rudder T.
