RING
By Ashley A. Bailey
STAFF WRITER
Galveston’s traditional purple,
green and gold Mardi Gras colors
will fly alongside the red-white-and-
blue French Tricolour each week
end from today until Feb. 7, signify
ing Galveston’s Mardi Gras cele
bration, “Fete de France.”
Dancie Perugini Ware, Galves
ton’s Mardi Gras coordinator, said
the celebration’s French theme was
chosen to honor the bicentennial of
the French Revolution.
Mardi Gras! Galveston 1989 was
granted official bicentennial status
by the Washington-based American
Committee on the French Revolu
tion, and it will mark Texas’ first of
ficial observance of the revolution
during'its bicentennial year.
Ware said, “The 1989 bicenten
nial commemoration holds special
significance for Texas because
France was the first country to rec
ognize the Republic of Texas.”
Included among activities and
special events marking the cele
bration will be six parades, 12
masked balls, two weekends of musi
cal entertainment, art and cultural
exhibitions and much more, Ware
said.
There also will be a special chil
dren’s entertainment area.
Commemorative sporting events
will include a rugby tournament, a
tennis classic, a 4-mile run along the
Galveston Island Trolley route and
the fifth annual St. Mary’s Hospital
Mardi Gras Run through the island’s
historic east end, Ware said.
The musical entertainment will
include performances by musical
greats ranging from Fats Domino to
Otis Day and The Knights.
Mardi Gras! Galveston 1989 will
come to a climax Feb. 4. when the
Grande Night Parade, with its 15;

“Fete de France” theme, winds

Century Club marks 25th anniversary
By Mia B. Moody
REPORTER
The Texas A&M Century Club, a
million dollar fundraiser for cam
pus-related projects, is celebrating
its silver anniversary this year.
“Without the Century Club, $30
million would not have been possi
ble,” said Jim Jeter, associate exec
utive director of the Association of
Former Students.
“The Century Club has raised $43
million in the past 25 years,” he said.
“Without it we estimate that we
would have raised only $13 million.”
The money the Century Club
raises is unrestricted and can be used
for any project the Association of
Former Studepts wishes to sponsor.
“Some of the major programs that
the Century Club helped to initiate
are the President’s Endowed Schol
arship, the Texas A&M Placement
Office, the Information Center, the
Office of Student Recruitment and
many more,” Jeter said.
Every former Texas A&M student
is automatically a member of the As
sociation of Former Students, but to
become a member of the Century
Club, a person must donate at least

90 national companies
$100 a year.
Century Club members are di
vided into groups by how much
money they donate: members donat
ing $250 or more are designated sil
ver, members donating $500 or
more are designated gold and those
giving $1,000 or more are desig
nated diamond. Members can also
become Endowed Diamond Century
Club members.
“To become a member of the En
dowed Diamond Century Club, a
person must give a gift of $15,000,
which can be given over a three-year
period,” Jeter said. “The interest
from this money is put into the an
nual fund enabling a member to
keep their Aggie spirit alive for
many years after they die.”
Jeter believes the new Clayton
Williams Jr. Alumni Center has in
creased the visual image of the Asso
ciation of Former Students which
has in turn increased donations.
“The Century Club had ani
crease in donations from $3.1 it
lion m 1987 to $3.7 million in I98(
he said.
T he Century Club goal loril
year is 25.000 members.

More than 90 companies from
across the United States will be rep
resented at the the 10th annual
Texas A&M Business Career Fair
that begins Sunday.
The fair is sponsored and orga
nized by the Business Student Coun
cil and its 12 committees containing
about 300 student volunteers.
“It will be an educational experi
ence that gives all majors and classes
opportunities to explore the job
market and their personal business
career interest,” said Lynn Zimmer-
mann, counselor in the College of
Business Administration.
Some of the recruiting companies
participating will be Wal-Mart,
Texas Commerce Bank, Arthur/An
dersen, Foley’s and Mobil. They will
have representatives in booths from
8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday
and Wednesday on the 1st and 2nd
