Almaz Smith, a junior biochemistry major from San Antonio, is one of nine winners of the Veteran’s Memorial Scholarship, sponsored by Coors. “When I got the scholarship, that did not nec essarily mean I would be doing the commercial,” Smith says. “That just meant I was eligible for the commercial. The purpose of the commercial is to publicize the scholarship and say ‘thank you’ to American veterans.” In June, Smith saw an advertisement for the scholarship in “Army Echo,” a bulletin sent to her father and other retired veterans. In August, she was told that she was to receive $3,500 for her junior and senior years at college, and in No vember, Smith and her father spent three days making the commercial in Chicago. Smith has not seen the commercial, since it will not air until May, after which she will receive a small amount of money for her part in it. “All the kids I met were very nice,” she says. “We took down everybody’s addresses and we sent Christmas cards to each other.” Academic performance was an important as pect for the scholarship winners, she says. “They wanted to look at leadership qualities and extracurricular activities, but I think the main thing was academics,” she says. “Anyone who did not have a 3.8 grade-point ratio was just out.” Peter C. Joannides, administrator of the Vet eran’s Memorial Scholarship Fund, says the scholarship is based on a point system, in which students earn up to 100 points for their qualifica tions, and a possible 10 extra points for the vet eran parent’s service. Smith gained two extra points because her fa ther received a Purple Heart for his injury in Vietnam, Joannides says. “Almaz probably would have received the scholarship without the two extra points,” he adds.

I do have a ten dency to say to others, ‘Hey, you drink Coors? That’s really good. Thumbs up to you.’ ” Smith is the historian of Tau Kappahc ciety, a member of Phi Lambda Lpsilon a memoe honor society and a member of the 0p< forming Arts Society. Te Luxury goods become 'drug war'spoils Seized items stored in 3 hangars DENTON (AP) — Three hangars at a small airport in Denton County house the spoils of the drug war, in cluding luxury vehicles and other expensive items seized bv the federal government from drug dealers and smugglers. The 81 automobiles, vans and trucks currently stored at the airport include a silver-grey Mercedes that appears to be in mint condition, Cor vettes and Firebirds. Some are equipped with mobile telephones. Al'S 1 Maker :gisLti\ !ms am 'eek M< A; bill rowdin The items in storage at Aero Val ley Ait port, 25 miles north of Fort Worth, include a gold-plated 1983 Harley-Davidson motorcycle, a white Ferrari valued at $20,()()() and a model- f roadster valued at $10,()()(). Federal law allows authorities to seize cash, cars and jewelrv if they can show probable cause that the property was obtained through the sale of illegal drugs. Taxpayers likely will wind up owning all of the merchandise, cour tesy ol the ongoing war between nar cotics dealers and government inves- t i gators. Federal agents seized property va lued at about $375 million in 1986 nationwide, an amount roughly equal to the DFA annual budget, according to Boh Siegel, agent in charge of the Fort Worth DFA of fice. Most of the items either will be sold or given to police departments for use.
