KAMU-TV airs telethon
Charity requests volunteer hours, not dollars
By SUZANNE CALDERON
Of The Battalion Staff
KAMU-TV wants to take advan
tage of the old axiom, “time is rhon-
ey.” On Feb. 17, the station will
broadcast a new type of telethon,
asking for pledges of time instead of
money.
The Give Five Telethon, spon-
sored by KAMU and Post Oak Mall,
asks community members to give
five hours, not dollars, to help char
itable organizations in Bryan-Col-
lege Station.
Peggy Zent, development director
for KAMU-TV, said the telethon is
the first of its kind in the nation.
“To our knowledge, there has
never been an event solely for the
purpose of recruiting volunteer
time,” Zent said.
The slogan “Give Five” is a na
tional campaign slogan developed by
Independent Sector, a group that
does research on volunteerism. In
dependent Sector’s research indi
cates that the average person can do
nate five hours a week and 5 percent
of his income to help charitable or
ganizations.
KAMU will celebrate its 20th an
niversary Feb. 15, and Zent said the
telethon is KAMU’s thank you to the
Brazos Valley for its help during the
past 20 years.
“We rely so heavily on local busi
nesses and local people to provide
monetary support in order to pur
chase programs,” Zent said.
KAMU’s Give Five Telethon will
be broadcast from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
It will alternate between live seg
ments at the mall and the KAMU-
TV studios.
Zent said the studio segments will
feature videotapes about the organi
zations, as well as updates from vol
unteers manning the phones.
Volunteers from the featured or
ganizations will be answering phones
and taking pledges at the studio.
Zent said there will be live inter
views at the mall with people from
the organizations. Entertainment by
local performers also will be broad
cast from the mall.

Give Five pledge card/Page 6
Rodger Lewis, program director
at KAMU, said that people can
pledge their time to help any char
itable organization in Bryan-College
Station, not just the ones featured
during the telethon.
After the telethon, each organiza
tion will be given a list of people who
have pledged their time to that orga
nization. T hen the organizations are
responsible for contacting the peo
ple to arrange volunteer times,M
said.
In addition to pledging newJ
unteer hours, Zent and Lewis sJ
students and community menii*l
can pledge volunteer hours towkB
they are already committed.
"So many people are alreap
doing things, and they may noire I
i/.e that those tilings are sometli! I
they can count,” Zent said.
Even if someone can pledge on j
an hour a week, that’s OK, Le>
said.
“We will he glad to receivers
ever commitment a person cah® |
— if they can’t pledge five houn |
week, then whatever they can,j §
wis said.
Zent said the goal of the teletlj I
is to get 1,000 people to commits !
hours a week — this would givei 1
charities 220,000 volunteer hoi I
during the remainder ofl990. t
Many volunteer hours wentij I
making KAMU what it is today,j I
Zent said she hopes this telethom I
help some other organizations
need.
KAMU officially becameaTvJ
lion in 1970 when the Federal CiM
munications Commission accepa
Texas A&M’s application form
bership. In 1970, KAMUhadal
18 full-time employees and 2

and 25 student employees.
Zent said KAMU helps A&Mv;
its video and audio produce
needs and provides services It
press conferences and telecon
renting. KAMU also covers nn-

Clements hopes return of troops
will offset Fort Hood reductions
DALLAS (AP) — Gov. Bill Clem
ents and Sen. Phil Gramm said Mon
day they hope the return of troops
jfrom Europe will help offset the
proposed cut of 12,000 troops from
Ford Flood and the deactivation of
its 2nd Armored Division.
The Fort Hood reduction was one
of nine proposed military reductions
affecting Texas under Defense Sec
retary Dick Cheney’s cost-saving
plan.
Other Texas officials had mixed
reactions to the plan, but Gramm
said in Washington he met with Che
ney and Army officials to negotiate
an agreement to stave off reduc
tions.
“We now have a commitment that
Fort Hood will have the first claim
on the first troops coming home
from Europe,” Gramm said. “That’s
a big and important commitment.”
CTements, who served as Deputy
Defense Secretary from 1973 to
1977, said state and local officials
must make a bipartisan effort to
minimize the impact of the Defense
Department cuts should they be im
plemented.
He said in a written statement he
would “aggressively support” any
step to bring troops from Europe
back to Fort Hood, near Killeen.
Cheney also proposed a contract
cut for the V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor
aircraft being developed for the Ma
rine Corps by Bell Helicopter in Fort
Worth.
Gramm said he and other legis
lators from affected districts will
help mayors and county commis
sioners argue on behalf of their local
military operations.
The senator already has talked
with Ausurv Mayor Lee Cooke about
Bergstrom Air Force Base, where
about 5,000 military personnel
would be affected.
“It is the big closure,” Gramm
said. “I have talked with the secre
tary of the Air Force to arrange the
process for the Austin community to
meet with the secretary and malt
case.”
Gramm said that Texas' imffi
from the proposed closures am/r
ductions woi^ld not have beendilft
ent if former House Speaker 1
Wright, who resigned last year,E
still oeen in office and working!;
the state’s interests.
Police look for suspect
in gas station robbery

robbed Judd’s Exxon at 1011 Well
born Road Tuesday in College Sta
tion.
The suspect entered the store just
before 2 a.m. and appeared to clerks
to be shopping. He then approached
clerks and asked them if they served
hot foods. When the clerks said no,
he left the store.
Minutes later the same man re
turned and approached the counter
as if to make a purchase. He instead
pulled a gun from his belt, threat
ened the clerks and demanded all
the money from the registers. After
the suspect got the money, he fled
from the store toward Holleman
Street.
Investigators believe this suspect
may be the same person who robbed
a store in Independence six hours
later.
He is described as 26 to 29 years
old, 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet tall and
180 to 190 pounds. He is unshaven
