Record donations from Texas
A&M led the surge of pledges that
resulted in an all-time high for Bra
zos County United Way pledges.
This year the organization col
lected $497,557, a 5.8 percent in
crease over last year’s collection of
$470,446.
Chairman Nancy Crouch said she
was pleased with the efforts of every
volunteer, but gave particular atten
tion to Texas A&M, where giving in
creased 26 percent from last year’s
total to an all-time high of $134,703.
“The reason for the increase in
collections from the University,”
Crouch said, “is because of the peo
ple in charge who possess outstand
ing leadership qualities.”
The two University divisions,
headed by Don Powell, director of
business services, and Vice Chan
cellor Dr. Mark Money, have done
extremely well this year. Crouch
said.
Money, system drive campaign
leader, said 17 different elements
within the system’s offices partici
pated in this year’s drive. Such orga
nized groups included the Chan
cellor’s Office, the Board of Regents
and the College of Agriculture.
“The sensitivity of personnel on
campus to he an active part of the
community and help those who need
assistance is tremendous,” Money
said.
Money said each office participat
ing sets a goal according t6 pay
within the division and tries to reach
that goal by the end of the year.
The University fund drive headed
by campaign leader Powell did ex
ceedingly well this year, but the abil
ity to collect pledge donations from
students remains relatively high.
“We haven’t tapped into the po
tential of the student body,” Powell
said.
In the past some organizations
have participated in drives for pro
grams such as the Brazos County
Food Bank, Brazos County Ameri
can Red Cross and the Brazos
County Rape Crisis Center, he said.
“Contribution tables have been set
up in the MSC from time to time, as
well as passing coffee cans around
on the A&M shuttle buses for dona
tions,” Powell said. “But the possibil
ity of student contributions remains
to be in a stage of development —
just think if each student at A&M
donated a dollar to United Way each
semester!”
“The sensitivity of person
nel on campus to be an ac
tive part of the commu
nity ... is tremendous. ”

Crouch said a special division
headed by the Rev. Craig Borchardt
followed suit and did a wonderful
job of collecting pledges from va
rious agencies, churches and resi
dential individuals in the commu
nity.
By the year’s end in December,
Crouch said she hopes to have
reached United Way’s goal of
$510,000.
“I am ecstatic over drive results so
far, but I’m most pleased for the 21
agencies we support,” Crouch said.
“In difficult economic times the se
rious needs of the community just
seem to come out of the woodwork,
and the community’s willingness to
rise to the occasion tells us a lot
about our empathy and concern.”
Crouch believes the increase in
this year’s pledges has come about
for several reasons. One thing the
group did differently this year,
Crouch said, was to purchase video
training tapes from United Way In
ternational that were used to train
division heads.
Crouch said the tapes were used
to teach section leaders how to make
effective calls to contributors, how to
run effective group meetings for
large company firms and how to call
on chief executive officers to get
their influence in campaigns.
A second effort the group did dif
ferently was to set goals for the com
munity’s potential contributions
based on its income, she said.
“There are over 54,000 people
employed in the Bryan-College Sta
tion area with an average rate of
per hour,” Crouch said. “If each
working person donated one hour’s
pay per month for a year. United
Way could raise over $5 million.”
She said the money raised each
year comes from volunteers who do
nate their time and money to help
the needy in the community.
Of the $510,000 goal, only 12.8
percent will be withheld to cover ad
ministrative costs and assistance to
state and national agencies, Crouch
said. The rest will stay within Brazos
County.
Crouch said some of next year’s
goals are to collect a higher percent
age of potential donations and to in
crease student funding through or
ganizations on the A&M campus.

All American pipeline
passing near Waco
gets agency’s support
WACO (AP) — A proposed All
American Pipeline route passing
near Waco and crossing fewer steep
slopes and sensitive aquifers is the
best of four alternatives, federal Bu
reau of Land Management officials
say in a new report.
The Waco-area route for the pro
posed oil pipeline — sponsored by
Celeron Oil & Gas Co. of Louisiana,
a subsidiary of the Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Co. — presents fewer
problems than the three alternatives
and is the preferred choice, accord
ing to a Final Supplemental Envi
ronmental Impact Statement.
The new pipeline would expand a
pipeline from California and is de
signed to funnel oil production sur
pluses in California to the under
used refineries along the Texas
coast.
The pipeline would stretch 486
miles from McCamey in West Texas
to the Gulf Coast near Webster. The
alternate routes include a northern
route passing near Waco, a central
route passing south of Austin, a
southern route passing south of San
Antonio and using existing pipelines
or tankers.
Advantages of the northern route
are that it would cross fewer miles of
steep slopes and sensitive aquifers.
The northern route also would
not cross streams that contain im
portant fish populations such as
those in the central and southern
neg-
jrairie
prop-
routes, the report says.
A final decision will be announced
in early January by Edward Hastey,
California state director of the Bu
reau of Land Management, bureau
spokesman Candy Johnson told the
Waco Tribune-HeraldMonday.
During the past two years, the bu
reau has conducted pipeline public
hearings in Temple, Waco and other
cities across Texas.
Most testimony came from Cam
eron residents who opposed the
pipeline because of pollution,
ative effects on preserved pr
grass fields and destruction of p
erty.
Crude oil spills are likely to occur
about eight times during the life of
the project and the average spill
would be about 3,750 barrels, the
environmental report said.
The bureau stated a preference
for the northern route as early as last
January, but this month it re
inforced its position.
The northern route would pass
just north of Star, Evant, Arnett, Ga-
tesville, Oglesby and McGregor be
fore turning southeast to pass near
Moody, Eddy, Troy, Rogers, Buck-
holts, Cameron and Rockdale.
The pipeline could carry 300,000
barrels per day with two of the five
proposed pipeline stations near
Evant and Buckholts on the north
ern route.
Study: Water, sewer problem
worse than officials thought
EL PASO (AP) — An indepen
dent study shows that El Paso Coun
ty’s water and sewer problems are
worse than health officials thought.
Health officials had been estimat
ing that 10,000 people in El Paso
County lived in Third World condi
tions in 100 “colonias” without ad
equate water and sewerage systems.
But the report, released Monday,
revealed that 28,000 of the 68,000
county residents who live outside El
Paso city limits have no reliable
source of clean drinking water. The
report showed that 53,000 county
residents have no sewer service and
most live on land unsuitable for sep
tic tanks.
The county’s rates of dysentery
and hepatitis are four times the na
tional rates, mostly because of the
poor water and sanitary conditions.
