A&M student to appear in TV a
Recipient promotes memorial scholarship in commercia
By Amy Roberts
Reporter
Most students who receive scholarships get a
check in the mail, but one Texas A&M student is
getting something more — an appearance in an
Adolph Coors Co. commercial.
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.

When asked if she drinks Coors, Smith says, “I
really do not drink that much. 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<

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.

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. Some of the vehicles seized
from drug dealers are used latet In
undercovei officers in theii work
against drug dealers.
l .S. Marshal Clint 1 . Peoples said
the gold-plated motorc \ le, whit h has
gold everywhere a normal motoicv-
c le would have chrome, was one ol
20 vehicles seized from Fieddie Fee
Hooper, who is serving 1.3 years in
lederal prison foi amphetamine
possession.
Forfeiture proceedings foi the
items seized from Hoopei are pen
ding. Peoples said.
A law passed about 10 vears ago
allows federal officials to seize am
propertN thev contend was used in
ctitne if it is worth less than
S 100,()()() and if the ownei does not
contest the seizure..I’lopert"
