Another of Dean’s goals is to pro mote the family atmosphere of the apartments. Dean says he hopes to get a chil dren’s park built on the Hensel Street property. He estimates the construction w ill cost around $8,000. Dean is looking for donations from A&M almumni, because the project is too large to be included in the council’s budget, he says. The park is necessary, Dean says, because about half of the couples have children and there is no ad equate playground facility for those children right now. Since adults also need a recreation area, Dean says the council budgeted the funds to purchase soccer goals and set them up in one of the fields. The'budget also provides for an athletic office that checks out basket balls, footballs and other sports equipment to the residents, Dean says. Camping equipment is one of the more popular items checked out, he says. “We have two canoes, eight tents, four Coleman lamps and other camping gear,” Dean says. “They are pretty well checked out during the summer months.” Not only is Dean interested in ex tracurricular activities, he wants to make it easier for the students to get to class every day. Dean is digging through the red tape in order to get a crosswalk across University Drive between the Zachry Engineering Center parking lot and the apartments. “People literally dodge cars trying to get across the street,” Dean says. Because University Drive also is a state highway, the state, the city and A&M must approve the proposal. Another service available at the apartments is a garage, which has the tools necessary to work on car re pairs. Dean says the garage, equipped with a hydraulic lift, is used heavily. Residents only need to buy a yearly pass for $3.50 and get a key from the vice president of opera tions in order to work in the garage. are made byaraati ot expected tobepj nit they areveryiia * videos which tf ally made upofsliB 5, tOO Overseas Night exposes students fo various travel abroad programs ByJO BETH MURPHY Reporter MSG Overseas Night gave stu nts the opportunity to discover they can travel abroad and learn about more than just academ ics Tuesday night.

The MSC Travel Committee sponsors ski trips at Christmas and Spring Break, as well as trips in the spring and summer. Mardi Gras, New York City, Cancun, San Anto nio and England are all on the com mittee’s travel agenda. The College of Liberal Arts offers programs in England, Ireland, France, Germany, Switzerland, China, Japan, Spain and many oth ers. Three to six credit hours can be earned in a variety of classes. Course credit can also be earned in the College of Business through trips to the Orient, the Holy Land and Europe. The College of Education also of fers a Great Britian trip. That pro gram is the only one specifically for graduate students, but undergrad uates can participate in a limited number of the courses. The College of Agriculture is sponsoring a 2V-> week trip to Latin America this Christmas. But travel has to be carefully planned and the time to sign up for the trips is now. “We’re urging students to sign up now because we’re needing to make commitments,” Rizk-Finne said. Jody Hall, one of the Travel Com mittee’s programs chairmen, sug gested that the Christmas holiday period is a good time to broach the subject to parents. “Students can go home and talk to their parents and say no Christmas (presents), just save it all up for sum mer,” Hall said. It funding seems to be an obsta cle, a variety of resouces are avail able for getting loans.
