The Texas Restaurant Association reported that each resident in Bryan-College Station spends ap proximately $119 each year on ham burgers, which is more than they spend on any other menu item. And, according to the TRA, Tex ans spend $1.7 billion a year in ham burger restaurants. Archie’s Hamburger Place sells about 900 hamburgers on an aver age day, supervisor David Archam- bault said. The Short Stop sells about 450 a day, said employee Jean- nie Von Stultz, while The Deluxe serves about 360 hamburgers on an average summer day, manager Alen Smith said. Pizza comes in second on the resi dents’ favorite food list, accounting for 11.2 percent of the dining-out dollar spent here, the TRA research found. DoubleDave’s Pizzaworks man ager Tom Jondahl said it sells about 400 pizzas a day, while Mama’s Pizza sells about 300 pizzas a day, manager Bob Cannon said. Mexican food rounds out the top three choices for local diners, who spend an average of $63.89 a year on Hispanic cuisine. La Taqueria serves about 3,000 people a day, manager Alen Smith said, and Fajita Rita manager Doug Zaluski said the restaurant serves an average of 512 people a day. The fourth and Fifth favorite foods in Bryan-College Station are fried chicken and steak, respectively, according to the TRA research. The hurting economy has not af fected the number of times consum ers eat out, but the TRA research found that consumers are spending less per meal. The restaurant industry is the state’s largest retail employer, with 400,000 workers employed by res taurants statewide and 3,289 em ployed by restaurants in the Bryan- College Station area, the TRA re search found. The report was released in con junction with the TRA’s 50th Anni versary Regional Convention and Exhibition in Dallas, which ended Thursday.

A&M researcher starts study examining roles of successful women By Evelyn Sanders Reporter A Texas A&M faculty member is beginning a study of women in non- traditional roles to provide mentors for a new generation of leaders. As part of her study, Julia Clark, associate professor of science educa tion in the Department of Educatio nal Curriculum and Instruction, will be interviewing women employed in non-traditional professional lead ership positions in the United States and other countries to determine the factors that have contributed to their W/ SMALL AF LOCALLY ■ E ATED, 2B Cotton Vi I |1 Bdrm.: I C< 774- Spec | All bills paid, a Sandor man military, the clergy, managtutkoOM uosi m science and technology, journcip 111 ' 1 ' 1 ’ 1 " 8,1,1 and executive level positions aiDfcpiE apart leges and universities.

Some of the women Clark plans to interview include Jeanne Kirkpa trick, Margaret Thatcher, Barbara Walters, Elizabeth Dole, Fat Sch- roeder, Patricia Graham, Winnie Mandala and Corazon Aquino. “The more we see women in lead ership areas, the more we can inspire younger women to enter these fields,” Clark said. “They are paving the way for a future genera tion of women.” Being selected as one of the Kel logg National fellows, a fellowship designed to increase the nation’s pool of potential leaders, her goal is to expand the nation’s society of ca pable leaders.

Thomas Fetsco, a May Texas A&M graduate who has accepted a position as an assistant professor of psychology and education at Dickin son State University in North Da kota, has expanded on a Russian idea called Zone of Proximal Devel opment. This idea compares what children can do by themselves — showing what they have learned in the past — with what they can do with assistance from a more competent learner — showing what they are ready to do, Fetsco said. Comparing differences between what children can do independently and what they can do with help is a good way to see individual differ ences among children’s learning rates and learning problems, he said. To measure this zone, children are given individual tests of their abilities, Fetsco said. Systematic help in the form of hints is then given on a one-to-one basis for all the missed items. The Zone of Proximal Devel opment is determined by the amount of help needed to solve the problem, which is an indication of how quickly children learn or how many problems they can solve after they receive help, Fetsco said. The difference between what a person can do on his own and some measure of what he can do with help is the zone, he said. If a child can work tested items with help, the skill to work them in dependently will develop soon. If a child is struggling, he will need more work, Fetsco said. In the Soviet Union, this proce dure is used to distinguish between learning-disabled and mildly men tally retarded children, whose test results would be about the same, Fetsco said. After help is given, the learning-disabled children will learn much quicker and with greater accu racy. This information will help teach ers pace and structure instruction and isolate students who qualify for special education, he said. In the United States, Ann Brown and her colleagues at the University of Illinois have tried to show the relationship between how children E erform on an achievement test and ow quickly they learn, Fetsco said. A problem with this procedure is that these tests may show how well children have learned in the past, but may not tell how well they can learn with proper instruction, Fetsco said. It was discovered that children who do well on achievement tests do well in similar learning situations, but this theory is not perfect, Fetsco said. 8 “The number of kids who dew G&S ! strate learning efficiencies is consistent with test results, whid not a startling idea,” he said. Fetsco measured the learning ciencies of 50 second- and I $50 $50 $5 graders, using their performance a standardized achievementtesU determine how quickly they lean spell words. DIARF The purpose of this proceed acute to relate direct measures of leantc in the classroom to what kids be learned in the past, he said. Giving children hints on ho* spell a particular word theym®' 1 on the ability test helps teach th® use everything they know abo 1 - word, Fetsco said.
