^"Ipents,” Dawson said. “The stu

out or don’t have time to take

the University of Wisconsin. He is
■cognized as one of the top au
thorities on WW1 and military
story in general, Dawson said.
Dr. Paolo Coletta, who recently
tired from the U.S. Naval Aca

Committee to discuss blood drives
By Richard Williams
Senior Staf f Writer
The Texas A&M blood drive
pmittee will meet Monday to
cuss campus blood drives.
Tianne Hall, director of donor
Iruitment for the Blood Center
jthwi at Wadley, said Wadley and the
lyiWKed Cross met last Monday to dis
cuss the A&M situation.
. I Hall and Lynda Falkenburg, of
Red Cross Blood Services, said a
^ tr proposal that was signed by both
ien0 )d roups was sent to the committee.
)0 r, Falkenburg also said the Red
loss and Wadley would issue a
rl# pint statement about campus
3 t# god drives after the committee
ting on Monday,
he blood drive committee
d asked the groups to work to-
ter and provide the commit
tee witli recommendations con
cerning campus blood drives.
Wadley has been holding cam
pus blood drives since 1959 and
the Red Cross has been holding
campus blood drives since 1985.
Margie Boswell, blood drive
committee chairman, said the
Red Cross blood drive is usually
smaller than the Wadley drive be
cause the Red Cross does not
have the facilities for handling
large quantities of blood.
Wadley usually collects around
2,600 units of blood. The Red
Cross usually collects about 300
units.
Spokesmen for both organiza
tions have said they believe both
groups can hold blood drives on
campus, but that it will take some
work to ensure they can get
along.

“Greek Week”
focuses
service,
Clubs seek
recognition
on campus
By Deborah L. West
Staff Writer
Greek Week, a time for students
to gather together and focus on
community, service, education, fun
and charity, is being held next week
said Charles Goodman, Greek ad
viser.
The Texas A&M Interfraternity
Council is sponsoring Greek Week
Monday through Friday.
Jason Howell, the external vice
president of the IFC, said the frater
nities want to make A&M students
more aware of their organizations.
“We are not a bunch of frat dad
dies that tear things up,” he said.
“We are organizations that do things
for charities and the Bryan-College
Station area.” Sororitity and frater
nity members will take local children
to a picnic and to a Texas A&M base
ball game on Tuesday at 5:30 pan.,
he said.
The Greek God and Goddess
Contest is a week-long event that will
raise money for the Brazos Valley
Rehabilitation Center, he said. Each
sorority and fraternity will choose
candidates and solicit support for
them in the form of donations from
students and local businesses. T he
on fun,
charity
winning god and goddess will come
from the sorority and fraternity with
the most money.
A 5K run and an obstacle course
will be two activities on Wednesday’s
Game Day, Howell said. T he Greeks
will not compete in brother-sister
races because uneven numbers of so
rorities and fraternities are partici
pating.
“A banner contest, golf tourna
ment, and drink specials at the Edge
and Zephyrs are other activities that
happen in ‘The Week to be
Greek,’ ” Howell said.
Only Greeks will be able to go to
party at the Edge, he said, but any
one can go to the Zephyrs’ drink spe
cials on Monday night.
Sarah Suddreath, the Panhellenic
Associations president, said each of
the 11 sororities paid a $40 partici
pation fee and each of the 26 frater
nities paid a $25 fee. T he IFC paid
part of the fraternity fees.
Goodman said the students at
tempted to have a Greek Week last
year, but they did not have Univer
sity support.
“We are calling this year’s activ
ities the first annual Greek Week,"
he said. “Last year they weren't orga
nized and things never got off the
ground. But that’s OK, no tradition
is 100 percent the first year.”
Jason Howell, the external vice
presdent of. the IFC, said the plan
ning committee wants to get people
excited.
“A new program is hard to get off
the ground, but we have the strong
leadership to make this Greek Week
a success,” he said.
Picture of McClure
wins Pulitzer prize
for photographer
ODESSA (AP) — As rescuers
pulled toddler Jessica McClure from
a well after 58 hours, hundreds of
camera shutters recorded the event,
but it w-as Scott Shaw’s shot that got
the Pulitzer Prize Thursday.
Shaw, 24, a photographer for the
Odessa American, said he had not
been expecting the esteemed prize
for his in-depth coverage of the Mid
land rescue operation.
“1 had heard that I was in the final
three a few weeks ago, but it was
hard to believe that I could even
have a chance to win such a big
award,” Shaw told the Associated
Press Thursday. “1 am pretty young.
1 am just pretty surprised.”
But he said colleagues at the pa
per had been predicting his winning
the award.
“Ever since I took the photo that
night, the editors said l was going to
win,” Shaw said. “They were sure of
it that night. And so it happened.”
Shaw’s photograph was a closeup
of Jessica as she was being taken by a
rescue worker to an ambulance fol
lowing her emergence from the
abandoned well last October.
“She (Jessica) whizzed by me with
the rescue worker in a split second
and I got a shot off,” Shaw said of his
photo. “1 was going to change lenses
to get a shot of the rescue.
“But 1 held the camera up before
I got a chance to change lenses. I
raised the camera and saw a blur
through the viewfinder of the rescue
worker and Jessica. I focused and
got the one shot off.”
A graduate of Southern Illinois
University, Shaw has been with the
paper for a little more than a year
and has worked at the Daily Press in
Paragon Id, Ark.
Managing Editor Olaf Frandsen
said he knew Shaw’s shot was a win
ner.
“It wasn’t a total suprise because
we thought it was the best photo, but
then every newspaper editor is going
to say that, isn’t he?” Frandsen said.
Thirteen Texas newspapers have
previously won the Pulitzer Prize in
journalism.
With a daily circulation of 31,000,
the American has a staff of four
photographers. The American, a
Freedom Newspaper, publishes af
ternoons, Monday through Friday,
and Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Chief photographer Mark Rogers
said, “It was his (Shaw’s) first major
national news story, and he got the
shot that every other national media
photographer missed.”
Petting zoo may be spared
from city budget shortfall
HOUSTON (AP) — A popular
children’s petting zoo may be spared
from the city’s budget ax and stay
open through the summer after all,
officials said.
The Discovery Zoo is scheduled to
close by the end of April as part of
the city's efforts to save money in the
wake of another budget shortfall.
“As it stands right now, we’ll have
to close the Discovery Zoo April 15
or April 30,” Parks and Recreation
Director Don Olson told city council
members Wednesday.
“But we’re looking at some alter
natives with private funding to see if
there’s a way to hold off the closing
between now and at least through
the summer,” he said.
“We just aren’t ready to announce
the plan,” Olson said. “We don’t
have it firmed up yet.”
Officials have said if they dose the
petting zoo next month, they still
might be able to reopen it if enough
money is provided in the 1989 city
budget.
Meanwhile, the Houston Post,
KTRK-TV, radio station KKBQ and
MBank Houston are trying to raise
the $60,000 needed to keep the pet
ting zoo open until October.
The sponsors opened the zoo
fund with an $8,000 contribution,
each donating $2,000. Any money
collected above the $60,000 goal will
be dedicated to improvements in the
Discovery Zoo.
When officials of the Houston
Zoo were ordered to cut nearly
$500,000 from an already lean bud
get, they prepared to close the most
staff-intensive and easily replaceable
section — the petting zoo, deputy
Parks and Recreation Director Roy
Witham said.
By closing the petting zoo, offi
cials reasoned, they would distribute
most of the 1 1 keepers to more crit
ical posts and continue coping with a
staff shortage sharpened by recent
expansions.
Officials did not expect such an
outcry from the public. Hundreds of
people have called the zoo adminis
tration office with questions about
the zoo closing and what they can do
to Stop it.
“Some are wanting to donate time
if that will keep the zoo open and
others want to donate money,” Ca
thy Kuntz of the zoo administration
offices said.
“One man even wanted to buy the
Discovery Zoo and, when I ex
plained that he could not because it
was a city zoo, he was unhappy,” she
said.
“But the spirit was there, if a bit
overwhelming,” she said.
