‘All-Night Fair’
had something
for man, beast
By Ashley A. Bailey
Reporter
The gorilla and the headhunter
were there drumming up partici
pation and excitement, police offi
cers were there keeping things un
der control and the paramedics were
therejust in case.
It was the annual Texas A&M
MSC All-Night Fair and they were
all a part of it.
The fair, which had the theme
“Bungle in the Jungle,” took place
from 8 p.m. Saturday until 2 a.m.
Sunday in the MSC. There were
about 40 booths, all of which be
longed to University-recognized or
ganizations.
Admission was $1, and each game
ticket was 10 cents. Proceeds from
the fair went to the organizations in
volved.
Booths ranged in diversity from
the Texarkana Hometown Club’s
“Human Car” ride, a shopping cart
decorated as a car, to the Miss
TAMU Pageant’s “Dunk the Punk”
water-dunking booth. Each booth’s
activity cost between one to five tick
ets, and each gave away prizes. Some
prizes included candy, popcorn,
stuffed animals, posters, coupons
for lunches and dinners, albums,
drinking mugs and house plants.
The plants were given away by the
Floriculture Ornamental Horticul
ture club and were among the most
e opular prizes. The FOH club had a
eanbag-toss booth with a long line
of customers waiting to participate.
Becky Love, a junior horticulture
major and a member of the FOH
club, said the booth was popular be
cause of the prizes rather than the
game.
“Everybody likes plants,” she said.
“Plants are something you can take
home and save — unlike a balloon or
a piece of candy.”
The Omega Pi Alpha service so
rority had an interesting “Jungle
Marriage” booth. Customers could
have group pictures taken or cou
ples could have mock wedding pic
tures made.
Another popular booth was the
Off Campus Aggies’ “Quarters”
booth. Customers got to show their
techniques in the game, which con
sists of bouncing a quarter off a table
top and into a cup. Participants
could win leftover goodies from the
OCA-sponsored Mardi Gras at
Texas A&M.
Carolyn Holy, a junior history ma
jor, won several sets of A&M Mardi
Gras beads and several mugs. She
said bouncing the quarter into the
cup was easy.
“It’s all in the wrist,” she said. “It’s
sort of like riding a bicycle — once
you learn you never forget.”
Jonathon Hallmark, a 9-year-old
from Bryan, had his own favorite.
Hallmark, whose parents helped
run the Agronomy Club's campus
hayride, said that his favorite was the
Sailing Club’s “Sailboat Race.” The
participants at this booth had to blow
their boats to victory in three water-
filled rain gutters.
“It exhausts you,” Hallmark said,
“but the floating key chains you win
are worth it.”
The MSC Recreation Club’s
“Giant Twister” game and the Heav
en’s 1 1 “Jungle Jail” were also popu
lar.
T he fair was sponsored by New
York Seltzer, the Flying Tomato,
KKYS-FM radio station and Up
Front.
The Flying Tomato gave away
balloons and had two representa
tives there dressed up as “flying to
matoes.” Up Front made the All-
Night Fair committee members’ T-
shirts and KKYS-FM had a display
booth with free albums and compact
discs. New York Seltzer gave away
samples, gift certificates and blow
up New York Seltzer bottlers.
Donny Roberts, a marketing de
veloper for Country Snacks and a
distributor of New York Seltzer, said
that the fair offered good exposure
for the company and the product.
“This is our first year to be here,
but I think it’s been a very profitable
experience,” he said. “Along with
making a big contribution and help
ing out A&M, New York Seltzer is
getting good publicity, and I’m hav
ing a really fun time.”
KKYS-FM disc jockeys Jay Kelley
and Ron Elliot attended the fair.
Katherine Nogues, a salesperson for
the station, also attended.
Elliot said that the fair is a good
promotional device for KKYS-FM.
“Being here and giving live re
ports is a good way for us to get in
touch with our listeners — Bryan-
College Station residents as well as
A&M students,” Elliot said. “We’re
promoting fun as well as our station,
and we’ve given a lot of great albums
away.”
Greg Pettit, an entertainment
coordinator of the fair, said that ev
erything went well. Pettit coordi
nated the banana-eating contest and
the Tarzan-yelling contest.
Geoff Mercurio, another All-
Night Fair committee Hiember; did
his part by wearing a hm, heavy go
rilla suit for six hours. He said that
his job was to get people involved
and to promote the “Bungle in the
Jungle” theme. He said his favorite
part of the job was getting to shout
“unga bunga” at the crowds.
Along w ith the prizes and the fun,
the fair gave Jonathon Poe, a fresh
man general studies major, a good
excuse for an extended study break.
“It’s been a very entertaining eve
ning,” Poe said. “But the best thing
about it has been the break that it’s
given me from the monotony of stu
dying.”
Officials set up barricades
to fend off Florida fruit trucks
Associated Press
No Florida citrus products have
been detected at roadblocks set up to
bar the fruit from Texas, and a state
agriculture official said Sunday the
checkpoints probably will continue
to discourage such shipments.
“At this stage of the game, Florida
hasn’t attempted to send any citrus
fruit in by any of the roadblocks
we’ve got out there and w ; e don’t an
ticipate that they will,” said Mike
Moeller, deputy Texas agriculture
commissioner.
The state declared a 30-day emer
gency quarantine on Florida citrus
after the U.S. Department of Agri-
tgr
culture lifted a ban that was leveled
following a 1984 citrus canker out
break in Florida.
Texas citrus growers and agricul
ture officials vowed to bar the fruit
from the state, saying the risk of can
ker, which causes defoliation and
mars fruit, still existed. Roadblocks
were set up along I-10 and I.H. 20.
Florida citrus growers have
threatened a federal lawsuit against
the state, but Moeller said he expects
action on the suit to be delayed until
a hearing Thursday in McAllen.

Minority police promotion

A H<
DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Po
lice Association has decided to file
complaints over an affirmative-ac
tion plan that was cited as the reason
three white officers were passed
over for promotion in favor of a
black officer.
Ten officers were promoted Fri
day in the first use of the affirma
tive-action plan approved by the City
Council earlier this month. The plan
calls for more minority hiring and
requires that 25 percent of promo
tions go to black officers and 10 per
cent to Hispanic officers.
Saturday, the board of directors
,of the 2,000-officer DPA decided to
file complaints with the city’s Civil
Service Board and the federal Fqual
Employment Opportunity Commis
sion.
Police Chief Billy Prince’s promo
tion of the black officer over three
white policemen could be viewed as
reverse discrimination, President
Monica Smith said.
