At the base of this programming coun cil is 27 committees that provide the A&M student and the A&M community with a taste of culture that ranges from opera singers to discussions of interna tional terrorism. The committees are di vided into categories of education, cul ture, entertainment and recreation. mances can range from $5,000 for a so loist to $200,000 for a Broadway musi cal. Brown said that while the OPAS bud get is large, only about one-third of it comes from ticket sales. The rest comes from community fundraising and dona tions.

Committees in the cultural division such as the Committee for the Awareness of Mexican American Culture (CAMAC) and the Jordan Institute for International Awareness, seek to provide the University community with programs that broaden cultural awareness and in volvement. Educational programs such as the Po litical Forum, the Student Conference of National Affairs (SCONA) and the Wi ley Lecture Series provide general inter est programs and ones of educational benefit. “The MSC has some kind of program offered every night of the week,” MSC President Frank Muller said. “This year we have more than 14,000 programs scheduled.” On the opposite side of the committee spectrum are organizations such as CAMAC, with only an $11,000 budget that mostly comes from student services fees. This committee, which brings Mexican-American educational and po litical programs to campus, usually has only one program a semester, CAMAC Chairmen Michelle Alvarado said. “We are limited by our budget,” Alva rado said, “because our programs must revolve around our available money.” Programs of the Political Forum, how ever, are selected on the basis of rele vance and current issues, Matthew Wood, director of the Political Forum’s E.L. Miller lecture series, said. “We try to select relevant issues that will affect the students,” Wood said, “or that are of particular interest to them.” The purpose of the committee. Wood said, is to provide a non-partisan forum for a variety of political issues to be pre sented to students. There are about 15 programs a year, dealing with national, international and state political issues. WOMEN NEEDED FOR A NEW LOW-DOSE ORAL CONTRA CEPTIVE PILL STUDY.

But he does not think students take advantage of all that is provided. “Student involvement varies,” he said. “Sometimes it is standing room only in a performance and sometimes the room is empty. Students don’t take advantage of all the programs we bring.” Every committee begins the process of getting performances or lectures to A&M differently, but the bottom line for them all is hard work and organization. The committee usually contacts the desired speaker two or three months in advance, depending on the topic and who it is they want to speak. The average cost of a program is about $2,500, and the since all lectures are free to the pub lic, the committee depends on student services fees and some donation money to give them their $23,000 budget. Town Hall, the committee that brings popular bands and performers to cam pus. has a budget of $500,000 and con cert expenses of sometimes up to $40,000, Chrirman Keith Spera said.

The OPAS Board of Directors meets in the fall to discuss which programs they would like to see come to A&M the next year, Eric Trekell, the OPAS pro gram coordinator, said. The 30-member board of students and community mem bers then present these recommendations to the Program Approval Committee, which must approve them. Then, with these suggestions in mind and a $600,000 budget to adhere to, the OPAS advisor and a few students book the following year’s music and theater series. This group travels to New York to review and book their theater series per formances and to a national conference to book their music series. Although there is no average price for a performance, Trekell said that perfor- Booking a band can be a lengthy proc ess, Spera said, that usually starts about four months in advance. The committee must first set a date that is not conflicting with other Univer sity events, Spera said, and then must see what groups or performers are avail able that would interest students. Other details the committee must consider are the costs of the performance and whether A&M has adequate facilities to host them. — Town Hall, along with the other 26 committees, comprise what Muller calls the best union in the country.
