Commission brings job,
education opportunities
to disabled B-CS citizenH<
By Juliette Rizzo
Staff Writer
The Texas Rehabilitation Com
mission on campus is working to
make more education and employ
ment opportunities available ro stu
dents and citizens of Bryan-College
Station who have a physical or men
tal disability that may prevent them
from acquiring a job without assis
tance.
Sue McBeth, vocational rehabilita
tion counselor for the A.P. Beutel
Health Center, said the Commission
identifies those students needing
physical or financial assistance be
cause of a disability.
Most large universities have reha
bilitation commissions on campus,
she said, but the commissions are not
part of the universities.
“We’re a state agency,” McBeth
said, “and my job as counselor is to
identify anyone here or in the com
munity who may need any of the va
riety of services we provide. We’re
not really territorial. We serve any
one we can, including Texas A&M
and Blinn students, A&M staff, staf f
family members and people in the
community.”
The Commission’s main purpose
is to identify people needing help
and fitting them into a program de
pending on their individual needs.
“Many different health problems
can cause a person to need our serv
ices,” McBeth said. “Even substance
abuse of drugs and alcohol will qual
ify for consideration in our pro
gram.”
People with physical, emotional
and mental problems qualify for as
sistance from the Commission.
Physical problems include those
that make it hard for people to do
breathe, eat, sit, stand or sleep.Emo
tional problems include those that
make it hard to concentrate, like
family conflicts.
“A chronic stutterer or a person
who has severe asthma probably
doesn’t realize anyone can help
them, but they can qualify for our
services,too,” McBeth said.
To qualify for the program, it
must he clear that the problt
keep the student from being,
work.
“For people who have
problems,” Mc Beth said, “gf
job can be hard. That’s wli
come in. We can providethe
with physical and financialli
demic counseling and tutors

Patterson says that Tonkawas did consume human
flesh as a part of a ritual. Tonkawas believed in “assocna
tive magic” — that tribesmen could gain a dead person’s
powers by consuming his flesh. For the same reason,
Indians wore eagle feathers to gain the keen senses of
an eagle, Patterson said.
“Cannibalism among native people was common all
across the world. The trouble today is people conjure
up images of Robinson Crusoe and Tarzan,” Patterson
said.
Tonkawa warriors served as scouts for the Army,
Tonkawas once proclaimed that “Comanche meat is
better than bear meat,” according to the book “Indian
Tribes of Texas.” The book also claims the Tonkawas
have vanished.
“Tonkawas do exist as a tribal entity. An Indian is a
cultural definition not a blood definition,” Patterson
said.
