Hope plans foundation to fight drugs DALLAS (AP) — Comedian Bob Hope is organizing a multimillion- dollar foundation to conquer drug abuse, a problem he considers the biggest threat to America’s youth. Hope, 84, spoke on Wednesday in the theater named for him at South ern Methodist University, mixing jokes with his appeal that everyone must join the fight against drug abuse. “This affair is a very serious af fair,” Hope said. “It’s almost what you would call impossible.” Drug abuse “has hit us a lot in this country and really hurt us a lot,” he said. “But I am happy to join this group and try to remedy this situation,” he said. “It’s going to take all of you to do something.” He asked leaders of several Dallas corporations to support the Hope for a Drug Free America campaign. Hope plans to use the support of professional athletes, entertainers, politicians and corporate executives to set up the national foundation. The group hopes to raise more than $100 million to sponsor drug counseling, prevention programs and treatment centers. The fundraising effort will begin with a telethon to air the night be fore this year’s Super Bowl, said- Hope, the foundation’s chairman. It will feature athletes, movie stars and others and include a toll-free num ber for pledges of money or ques tions about drug abuse. Dallas businessman Lamar Hunt, who hosted the SMU meeting, said the idea for the campaign came a year ago from Vic Maitland, vice chairman of the campaign and a member of the National Football League Alumni organization. Maidand believed one centralized anti-drug abuse organization might succeed where numerous smaller groups have failed, Hunt said. “We are not knocking the efforts of other groups,” Hunt said. “But this is a unique concept that will al low us to better channel the best of the nation’s resources.” AGGIELAND PHOTOS NEXT WEEK SEPT. 28-OCT. 2 FRESHMEN & SOPHOMORES LAST NAMES G THROUGH L A R PHOTOGRAPHY “GET IN THE BOOK” 707 TEXAS AVENUE ACROSS FROM THE POLO FIELD HOURS 9 TO 5 693-8183 Chicken Fried Steak Quarter pound steak patty, garden fresh salad, Texas Toast, french fries and cream gravy at Honors business program offers students challenge ■methingyoudo- d.

During the following spring se mester, acceptances are made on the basis of SAT scores, GPR, student interest and faculty preference, she says. Anyone in the program also is able to join the CBA Honors Asso ciation, association treasurer Carol Parker, a junior accounting major, says. The association was developed by the 1986 charter class of the Honors Program and received University recognition in the spring. The association provides a way for students in the honors program to get to know each other in a social at mosphere, Parker says. “I feel much more relaxed in a class full of people that I know,” she says. Students in the association get ac quainted through various activities, Parker says. Executives speak to the associa tion on career opportunities and the students form study groups and plan field trips to nearby business centers such as this November’s planned trip to San Antonio. Although social activities are im portant, academics take priority for the group. Association Historian Connie Miller, a junior business analysis major, says the academic at mosphere in honors courses is dif ferent from regular courses. Students get to know the faculty in the smaller honors courses. Miller says, a faculty that often is of higher quality than in other courses. “More initiative is there since the professor cares about whether you actually learn the material,” Miller says. Fraser says the atmosphere in the program is one of healthy competi tion. “They (students) know they are in classes with students that are inter ested in learning,” she says. The number of applicants proba bly will increase with the increased enrollment and higher admission standards for the University, Fraser said, but the program will admit only 35 students each spring, despite the expected increase in interest. 100% Pure Beef 91.99 Please present thtis coupon before ordering.

Archie’s Hamburger Place employs high-energy laser as part of missile test procedure bitterly ( and minority l(< ■ productivity am!: ’ EL PASO (AP) — The Navy has used a high-energy laser to shoot down a drone at White Sands Missile Range, a spokesman said Thursday. [ The spokesman, Lt. Tom Derienzo in Washington, said the Navy’s laser project was so classified that he did not know what kind of laser and drone were used. A t Evans, who : —he council shot: —ease when totiff L . „ , . _ many resident!: drone is a remote-controlled aircraft. ^ Navy spokesman John Albertine told the Associated ess that he understood the test occurred last week and was part of the Pentagon’s Conventional Defense Initiative, a program designed to improve conventional capons with new technology. ► le without job don’t know ho' ! =t,” Evans said. The Army operates the 4,000-squ range in southern New Mexico, but snares it with other branches of the armed forces. The Navy’s White Sands operation is the U.S. Naval Ordinance Missile Test Fa cility, devoted mainly to developing upper atmosphere research rockets and surface-to-air missiles. The Navy has long been interested in developing a laser that could destroy anti-ship missiles such as the French-made Exocet. That missile was used successfully against British ships in that country’s war against Ar gentina for the Falkland Islands.
