Hamburgers
rank at top
in B-CS area
By Rebecca Jackson
Reporter
At the rate Aggies are eating ham
burgers, Bevo better watch out.
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

Some of the women Clark plans to
interview include Jeanne Kirkpa

Walters, Elizabeth Dole, Fat Sch-

Mandala and Corazon Aquino.
“The more we see women in lead

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

So far, Clark’s interviews haw

A&M graduate expands ter
of learning rates of children
Persons'

By Pam Tragesser
Reporter
Measuring what children have
learned may be important, but
equally important is what they will be
able to do.
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.

“The number of kids who dew G&S !
strate learning efficiencies is
consistent with test results, whid
not a startling idea,” he said.
