KAMU-TV to hold
15th annual auction
The 15th annual KAMU-TV
Auction begins Saturday and will run
through April 28.
The auction will be broadcast live
each night at 7 p.m.
Elain Hoyak, assistant director of
KAMU-TV, said that all of the money
raised will be used to support
programming on KAMU-TV.
The items to be auctioned, which
include vacations, Aggie gifts, a
registered Charolais Heifer, tickets to
Aggie football games and OPAS
events, have been donated by people
and businesses in the community.
"We appreciate all of the
businesses and individuals who
support the station by donating time
and items to the auction,” Hoyak said.
KAMU-TV has set a goal of raising
$75,000 during the auction.
Hoyak said the station needs
about $250,000 to support the
programming for the station, not
including the operating budget.
“This auction provides about a
third of all of the funds that we need
for program purchases,” Hoyak said.
Blood drive to contin
ue through next week
also features entertainment, including the Kappa Kickers,
Aggie Wranglers, Century Singers and Box Car Poets.
The Class of ’45 will attend the barbecue as a part of
the celebration of their 50th class reunion.
The Muster ceremony will feature speaker Dr. Lee
Phillips, Class of ’53.
Dr. Phillips, a former student and professor of indus
trial engineering at A&M, said his speech will focus on
the ties that have kept Aggies together for generations.
“Muster is the symbol of unity that we as Aggies
have over all the years,” Dr. Phillips said. “It certainly
reflects the Aggie spirit.”
Additional seating for the ceremony will be provided
in Rudder Auditorium, where a large projection screen
will show Muster via satellite from G. Rollie White.
“Rudder Auditorium may not be able to provide the
exact same look as Muster in G. Rollie, but it will defi
nitely provide the same feeling,” Greebon said.
For those Aggies who will not have the opportunity to
attend the A&M campus Muster, small simulations of the
ceremony will be held throughout the state and nation.
Tony Price, class of ’74 and Freestone County
Muster organizer, said the county’s local muster will be
held in Fairfield High School’s cafeteria and those at
tending will join the A&M campus Muster via satellite.
“Via satellite, this year’s Freestone County Muster
.will tour the A&M campus,” FVice said. “Members of the
classes as far back as ’30 and ’40 will be in attendance
and, probably haven’t seen the A&M campus in 20 years.
“This will give them the opportunity to view the
changes on the campus.”
Muster’s roll call however will not be through satel
lite, but will be held locally to recognize the individuals
who were known among the group, Price said.
Many student leaders and former Aggies are invited
to speak at Musters across the nation.
Former A&M student body president for 1993-94,
Brian Walker, will travel to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. , to
speak at the Gold Coast A&M Club’s Muster.
“I want to let them know what’s going on campus
now, and give them an idea of the progress our campus
is making,” Walker said. “I also want to let them know
what Muster means to me and the rest of the students,
and that Aggieland is still alive and doing very well.”
Because of the somberness of the event, Greebon
said that many see Muster as a funeral ceremony, but
it is really a celebration.
“There are those who feel Muster isn’t for them be
cause it is an honoring of the dead,” she said. “But
Muster isn’t just a reverence for the dead, but more a
celebration of life.
“For those of us who know the honorees, it is a cele
bration of our time spent with them, and overall it is
just a celebration of our camaraderie as Aggies.”
Because of the interest A&M
students and faculty are showing in
donating blood to help the victims of
the Oklahoma bombing, the blood
drive will be continued into next week.
The Corps of Cadets, Alpha Phi
Omega and Angel Flight will sponsor
the blood drive Monday and Tuesday
from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. in Lounge F
on the Quad.
Thursday, 596 pints of blood
were donated. The yell leaders will
lead yell practice at the donation
sites today to entertain those who
come to donate.
