Founded in 1980, Galveston Island Adventure fea tures two two-week sessions on Pelican Island during which students entering the eighth through the 1 1th grades get actual experience in a variety of programs — archaeology, creative writing, marine biology, space sci ence, veterinary medicine, photography, medicine, psy chology and computer science/robotics. All these programs are curricula in the A&M system, except creative writing. “This all began as a crazy little idea that just took off,’' said Dr. William Nash, associate professor of educatio nal psychology and director of the Gifted and Talented Institute at A&M. “We try to give these kids a broad look at a field of study so they can develop an idea of what is involved in the different careers they are interested in pursuing," Nash said. Of the approximate 100 students expected to arrive for each session, about 25 come from the Dallas area. More than 80 percent are from Texas. Last year’s en rollment included people from Norway, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Mexico Gity, Nash said. The popularity of the program has grown so much each year that more and more students have had to be turned down, Nash said. The $795-per-session fee covers room, meals, in structional materials, field-trip transportation®™^ reation. The first session began Sunday, and June 25; The second session will run July 17-30 There will he “the normal things you wouldfin camp," Nash said, but more important will Ik workshops and daily experience of different careen “ These kids generally show a great deal pfindtn deuc e, a high curiosity level and a propensity forb ligating the complex and the difficult,” Nash said.

Some of them don’t handles well and even flunk out. “What we have been seeing happen here is ran these students attending GIA are enrolling ai] when they finish high sc hool. Though that's not we set out to do, it’s become a good method forrec ing excellent students.” Many students become determined to followi tain path because they are introduced to adults have advanced in their field and they begin to their own careers with these role models in mind "I feel that we can serve as a model for other e sities to develop similar programs," Nash said.“In sities have tremendous resources that duringtht iner are generally not as tied up as in regular# semesters.

The search warrant said the gov ernment is investigating the bribery of public officials in connection with a scheme in which defense contrac tors got inside information from for mer government officials whom they had hired as consultants. Attorney General Edwin Meese III declined to give a direct answer when asked if bribes had been ac cepted in the Pentagon. “That will all come out in the course of the indictments and ulti mately in the trials,” he told report ers. The fraud and bribery investiga tion, involving the alleged sale of in formation to some of the nation’s biggest defense contractors, drew at tention all over Washington.

Bill Mixon, 47, was in the Bexar County Jail Thursday in lieu of bonds totaling $100,600 on charges of murder and criminal mischief. He was charged with slaying his former girlfriend, J’Anna Tebbs, 26, who was shot to death in a woman’s bathroom stall at her office building Wednesday. Tebbs, a vice president in the San Antonio MADD chapter, had been working as an advertising salesman at KSMG radio for the past eight months. In April, Mixon was stripped of his membership and his official du ties by the MADD national executive committee after allegations of sexual harassment. Windcrest Police Chief Cliff Grumbles said Tebbs, had her car tires slashed earlier Wednesday and had asked a co-worker to escort her to her car as she left work Wednes day. “On the way to her auto, she saw her ex-boyfriend and she tried to get away,” Grumbles said. The woman ran back into the of fice building and the co-worker tried to stop the assailant, but failed, Grumbles said. The woman was shot as she hid in a stall. The assailant left a .22-caliber handgun in the bathroom and took an elevator to the radio station office on the fifth floor and asked that au thorities be called. Grumbles said that Tebbs had re ceived threatening telephone calls and her car had been vandalized since she broke up with Mixon about three months ago. Tebbs, who was divorced about six months ago, had two children and was living with her parents. “as rapidly as possible” to get the facts. Meese said indictments may l>e handed down in 30 to 90 days. Fitzwater said the matter “cer tainly poses an internal security problem.” He said Reagan “feels that this is a matter that deserves his attention and that everyonem should know of his feelings, iki tensity which he feels about with any kinds of crimes that lx-en committed here.” The search warrant that stida light on the case was unsealedisj eral court in St. Louis.
