Student to produce radio show
focusing on views toward A&M
By Mark Beal
Reporter
Jim Cleary wants to try his hand at just about
anything.
“One week I want to be a doctor, the next week
I want to be a lawyer,” he says. *
Right now, Cleary says he wants to be a radio
show producer, and if things work out the way he
plans, he’ll soon be just that.
Cleary, a 21-year-old history major and stu
dent representative to A&M’s Faculty Senate, is
in the process of producing — well, if things go
right — a new radio program for KAMU-FM.
He says the notion of producing the program,
tentatively titled “Aggieland Focus,” hit him full
force about two weeks ago but had been simmer
ing in the back of his mind all semester.
Cleary says he has had an interest in news
broadcasting for a long time and at one time was
a journalism major. Last November he got a part-
time job at KAMU running the equipment on
nights and weekends, and that exposure got him
thinking about starting his own program.
Cleary went to the program director at KAMU
and convinced him to give the show a 10-week
trial run — provided he could raise the money
and get the workers.
Cleary says he’s raised about $750 from stu
dent and faculty donations. He estimates the to
tal cost will be between $800 and $ 1,000 for the
10-week run.
Cleary says one of the purposes of the show is
to give students an opportunity to get some prac
tical experience in broadcasting.
“Basically, most of the money will go to stu
dents working on the show,” he says. “It won’t be
a lot of money, but it’ll be enough to make them
“Sometimes you say ‘My God,
there’s not just two perspectives,
there are thousands. ’
— Jim Cleary, A&M history major
realize it’s a real job. I want this to be as profes
sional as possible.”
Another purpose is to allow people to look at
A&M from various viewpoints.
“It will be structured around a loose subject
each week, say arts at A&M,” Cleary says. “And
we’ll look at it from different perspectives: a stu
dent perspective, a faculty perspective, an ad
ministrative perspective, maybe an outsider per
spective — someone who lives in the cot
but doesn’t have anything to do with thet
sity.
“Too often we students see things
and white, but there’s a lot of graying
too. . . . You get to looking at thii
times you say ‘My God, there's notjusttv
spectives, there are thousands.’ ’’
He also says he would like to include^
speakers who give their opinions on the]
topic each week.
“I’d also like a spotlight about pi
making A&M a l>etter place just becaust:
there,” he says.
But he says it won’t be simply a p
scheme for A&M.
“This is not going to be a show
sugar-coat everything,” be says.

going to be just a bunch of students ouiioj
school, either.”
Cleary says the inspiration for the
came from the news shows such as “Ai'J
Considered" that KAMU airs.

Commissioners OK permits
for building refugee shelter
Officials reverse decision of previous day
BROWNSVILLE (AP) — Cam
eron County commissioners re
versed their position of a day earlier
and voted in an emergency session
Tuesday to grant building permits
for a Central American refugee shel
ter.
“The district court can now decide
if the permits should be revoked,”
said County Judge Moises V. Vela,
referring to a lawsuit four
Brownsville residents filed seeking
to bar Casa Oscar Romero from
moving to six acres near their
homes.
The commissioners’ decision at a
meeting came less than 24 hours af
ter the Catholic Diocese of
Brownsville filed suit asking that
permits for Casa Romero be re
instated.
The county has no liability insur
ance and faced a civil rights lawsuit
and stiff penalties if it did not grant
the permits, county attorney Brian
Janis said.
Commissioners suspended the
permits at a meeting last month after
residents of nearby mobile home
parks complained Casa Romero
would lower their property values
and pose a security threat.
“I believe if the federal govern
ment is not going to attend to it, and
the state is not going to attend to the
problem, and the cities don’t want to
take care of it, then the county has to
take care of it.”
Texas man asks Perot for money
to help locate his missing father
DALLAS (AP) — A Texas man
said Tuesday he has asked bil
lionaire H. Ross Perot for financial
assistance in locating his missing fa
ther, whose plane went down in
dense jungle county in South Amer
ica.
Maurice Grandsoult’s father,
George Grandsoult, disappeared
Nov. 26 when his plane crashed dur
ing a supply mission to a remote vil
lage in Guyana, a small nation along
the northeast shore of South Amer-
will provide him with the money be
cause he has helped Americans in
trouble before.
“Texas Instruments has been so
helpful I feel like they might pay for
everything,” he said in a telephone
interview. “But I just don’t feel right
about asking them for more.”
After Grandsoult appealed to the
media for help, Texas Instruments
Inc. offered to loan him high-tech
equipment to locate his father’s
plane. But he said he still needs
about $35,000 to fund the rest of the
operation.
Grandsoult, an engineer at Bell
Textron in Fort Worth, hopes Perot
Grandsoult said a device known as
the forward-looking infrared sys
tem, or FLIR, is the only device ca
pable of locating the plane beneath
the thick foliage. The system is used
to guide fighter jets to their targets.
Wright’s office in hopes that Con
gress might be of help, Grandsoult
said. He said he will have to pay for
an operator and an electronic device
to power the FLIR.
“I need to get this mission off the
ground by Friday (or) the weekend
at the latest,” he said. “The condi
tions of the jungle and being without
water or food would make it difficult
for a man to survive much longer.”
Defense forces from Guyana and
Venuezuela conducted an air and
ground rescue operation, but called
it off after eight fruitless days,
Grandsoult said.
Financial appeals also have been
made to House Speaker Jim
Engineers have told him it will
take two days to build the electronic
device so he needs to secure funding
by today.
Grandsoult said he is confident
his father, a bush pilot in Guyana for
20 years, could have survived the ac
cident. His last radio contact oc
curred shortly before the crash and
he gave no indication of trouble, his
son said.
