By Mercedes Salinas
Reporter
The Texas A&M University System sponsors a sum
mer camp on its Galveston campus for gifted and tal
ented teen-agers to help them gain actual experience
for future careers.
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.
Tor many of the teen-agers, the camp will be did
time they have been challenged intellectually,hear.
“A lot of bright kids in some school settingsareji
ing challenged, and they breeze through makin;
highest grades with little effort,” Nash said.“Them

forced to compete. 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. A camp of this kind provides an exd
opportunity for those facilities to lie put to use,
Information leak prompts probes
WASHINGTON (AP) — A mas
sive amount of confidential informa
tion was improperly funneled from
the Defense Department to McDon
nell Douglas Corp, a search warrant
issued in a nationwide investigation
of possible corruption involving
Pentagon officials and defense con
tractors revealed Thursday.
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.
President Reagan “is very con
cerned” about the revelations of the

Police charge
MADD member
with slaying
WINDCREST (AP) — A former
chapter president of Mothers
Against Drunk Drivers, who was
ousted after charges of sexually ha
rassing female staffers, has been
charged in the slaying of his ex-girlf-
riend, authorities said Thursday.
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

She had been a member of
MADD for several years.
