33 illegal aliens arrested
by immigration officials
HOUSTON (AP) — Federal immigration officials ar
rested 33 illegal aliens at two Houston “drop houses”
and seven others accused of smuggling them into the
city in a rental truck, authorities said.
The Central American aliens were rounded up dur
ing weekend raids of two southeast Houston apart
ments in renewed attempts to thwart alien smuggling
following the end of the immigration amnesty pro
gram, officials of the U.S. Immigration and Naturaliza
tion Service said.
The. anti-smuggling sweep targeted Houston,
Brow'nsville and McAllen, said Michael McMahon, dis
trict INS director in Houston.
Twelve illegal aliens fled prior to a Brownsville raid
after operators of a drop house were tipped off, McMa
hon said.
The aliens arrested in Houston Saturday included 17
men, 15 women and a 3-year-old girl.
McMahon said the INS task force had received infot
madon that a group of 80 illegal aliens was enteringthe
United States in areas other than Brownsville and
McAllen and moving inland to larger cities.
The aliens arrested during the weekend crossed into
Texas on foot and paid up to $2,000 for the trip in the
back of a rental truck to Houston, McMahon said.
Authorities are investigating whether some of the
aliens were recruited for jobs in the United States, he
said, adding that some of the smugglers had indicated
they had come from North Carolina or South Carolina
to take back some of the aliens.
Since an INS task force was sent to the Rio Grande
Valley to process amnesty applications, the numberof
those seeking asylum has dwindled and only 2 percent
of the applications are being approved, officials said.
Man retires
after 57 years
at same store
FREEPORT (AP) — Bobby Gi-
rouard says he never knew how en
lightening it could be to feed bread
to the seagulls until he took the time
to try it.
“I can see why man is so intrigued
with wanting to fly,” Girouard said,
tossing pieces of a loaf into the sky
above Surfside Beach for the birds’
feasting pleasure. “Everybody ought
to come and feed the seagulls.”
It is one of the simple practices Gi
rouard, 65, has been aole to enjoy
since retiring in January from ever-
constant duties at what is one of the
state’s landmark general stores,
known for its large marine inven
tory.
Along with his older brother, Sag-
ness Giourard Jr., Bobby Girouard
had been running the Gulf Coast
shop bearing the Family name since
1946.
The Second Street building with
the pink stucco walls and metal roof
is a browser’s paradise, where
wrenches are sold across from grits,
and cookies share shelves with gas
stoves. Some claim it is the only gro
cery store in America certified as a
government chart agent.
Estimates have targeted the
amount of merchandise at 25,000
items.
In 1985, Girouard’s was yoted the
“Best General Store” in the state by
Texas Monthly, which cited its
“mammoth maritime inventory” as a
reason for the honor.
Bobby said leaving the business is
an adjustment, but more time with
wife Joyce at a recently built beach
house peering at the Gulf of Mexico
will make the transition easier.
“I enjoyed my years at the store,
enjoyed working with people,” Gi
rouard said. “It’s been our life."
It started for him at age 8, sweep
ing and stocking items at the store
for Sagness Sr., who opened Gi
rouard’s in 1924.
The original location was only a
few blocks from the Broad Street
station where workers caught the
train bound for Hoskin’s Mound,
where sulphur was produced.
Girouard said his dad, a Louisiana
native who came to the area to work
for the Freeport Sulphur Co., “had a
lot of common sense and knew what
to do with that.”
Because his father believed idle
hands were the devil’s workshop, the
boys began early at the store, which
mainly sold groceries and even al
lowed credit to some customers. By
the time they got out of the Navy,
the store was handed over to them
Geoscience students
share research data
By Susan B. Erb
CORRESPONDENT
£
Stressing an interdisciplinary ap
proach to the study of the Fiartn,
Texas A&M geosciences graduate
students shared research results and
roposals with faculty and col
eagues Wednesday and Thursday at
the Texas A&M University Student
Geosciences Symposium.
Philip D. Rabinowitz, director of
the Ocean Drilling Program, which
sponsored the symposium, said co
operative research in geoscience
fields ranging from geology to
oceanograpny is essential to under
standing tne complex environment
of the earth.
"We live on a very dynamic and
mobile earth," Rabinowitz said. “K-
nowledge gained over the past years,
primarily through programs such as
ODP, has made us aware that most
of the processes shaping Earth today
are taking place beneath the deep
ocean floor.
“Results of many of the studies
that students present here are chan
ging the very way we think about our
earth and our environment.”
Frank Rack, a member of the sym
posium organizing committee and a
graduate student in oceanography,
said the symposium was conceived as
a way to encourage interdisciplinary
communication between studens
and faculty in the earth-science d(
partments at Texas A&M.
"One of our goals in having sto
dent researchers present their talb
during this symposium is to lean
from each other and to develop an
understanding of the many dial
lenges and opportunities inheremir;
interdisciplinary research,” Rad
said.
Fifty-nine graduate students in
the fields of marine biology, coiui
nental geology, geophysics, geocht
mistry, oceanography, meteorologi
and geography presented results o:
research or proposed research top
ics.
Dean Merrill, a member of the or
ganizing committee for the sympo
slum and a graduate student it
oceanography, said the symposia:
gave students an opportunity toprt
sent research to a group similar to
that at a national meeting.
Khalid Mahmood, a graduatestti
dent in geological oceanograpk
practiced his thesis presentational
the symposium.
“Without question, the sympo
sium was very helpful,” Mahmood
said. “It increased my confidenct
and gave me the opportunity to
gather and shape my results sotho
could be understandable to somt
body in a different field.”
Some students need measles immunizization
The Brazos County Health De
partment and the A.P. Beutel
Health Center recommend that
all students returning home dur
ing spring break to areas where
there are measles outbreaks and
who have not been reimmunized
for measles since 1980 do so be
fore returning to Bryan-College
Station.
In an outbreak area, standards
are upgraded to epidemic control
status and the vaccine is more
readily available for control mea
sures.
Anyone with questions should
contact the Brazos County Health
Department, Personal Health
Services Division, at 361-4440, or
the health center at 845-1511.
