Specials good Thur., June 17 - Sat., June 19, 1993 Texas congressmen fight for military bases the associated press Facilities under analysis by Pentagon WASHINGTON - Twenty- one members of Congress from Texas deployed in a rapid-re sponse team Wednesday to de fend Texas military installations under threat of being shut down or consolidated. In a campaign orchestrated prior to their appearance before the inde pendent Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission, most of the lawmakers used their allotted five minutes to highlight individual South Texas bases. Seven Texas military facilities are under scrutiny. The Dallas Naval Air Station was recom mended for closure earlier this year by the Pentagon. The others — Kelly Air Force Base, Naval Station Ingleside, Naval Air Sta tion Corpus Christi, Naval Hospi tal Corpus Christi and Red River Army Depot — were added by the commission last month for com parison with bases on the Penta gon hit list. The Red River facility in Texarkana is being looked at for consolidation, not closure. And Bergstrom AFB in Austin, already a near-complete casualty of the 1991 base-closing round, could see the rest of its mission transferred to Carswell AFB in Fort Worth. Perhaps no one was more to the point than Rep. JJ. "Jake" Pickle of Austin, who told the commission: "Don't move my air base." The Texans' campaign was de signed to show the commission that a bipartisan Texas delegation is rallying in defense of all Texas military facilities. In fact, nine con gressmen whose districts are com pletely untouched by possible base closures agreed to testify about the merits of installations elsewhere in the state. D The commission is expected — | vote next week on which bases: recommend for closure. Ithasii- X til July 1 to forward its recommei dations to President Clinton,wl must accept or reject the list ini entirety and forward ittoCoi gress.

Fish Camp Continued from Page 1 "Some people used to think to be a Fish Camp counselor you had to have a certain personality - fun and crazy or cool/'she said. "Now peo ple realize you don't have to be any certain way." She said researching different cultures in addition to education about students with disabilities has helped the Camp develop better programs for the counselors. Pfrimmer said she talked to minority and ethnic groups about re cruiting a diverse group of counselors. After working with the groups, the camps hired three times as many blacks as last year. "Some people used to think to be a Fish Camp counselor you had to have a certain personality...now people realize you don't have to be any certain way." -Anne Pfrimmer, associate director Tripode said the camp didn't set out to get a certain number of mi nority counselors but just happened to have some excellent people from various ethnic backgrounds apply. Pfrimmer said this new attitude has helped counselors "uncondi tionally accept every freshman." Fish Camp started when YMCA director Gordon Gay took a few stu dents camping. It was initially called "Freshman Camp" but later became known as "Fish Camp". Gay continued his involvement for several years but eventually told upperclassmen to continue the tradition. Fish Camp will have taken 3,600 freshmen to camp by the end of this summer. Mike Knox, Fish Camp assistant director, said, "The environment at Texas A&M has changed so Fish Camp had to change throughout the years," but Fish Camp's purpose is still to help the freshmen.
