Thomas said the volunteer pro
gram at the Boys and Girls Club
has been booming over the past
couple of years, because of Texas
A&M student volunteers. She said
anyone can volunteer, but there
are certain qualities a good volun
teer should possess.
“It doesn’t take a fancy degree,”
Thomas said. “It takes patience,
understanding, compassion and a
big heart — a general compassion
for kids.”
Aeryn Ewers, a volunteer at the
Boys and Girls Club of Bryan for
about one-and-a-
half years and a ju

said volunteers at
the Boys and Girls
Club are making a
difference.
“A lot of people
have told these kids
they’re worthless,”
Ewers said. “We’re
role models for
these kids, and
“There are a lot
of fun games,
and they have
good pickles in

NEW YORK (AP) — Flubbed lines?

cording to New York’s tabloid press.
Miscues by Minnelli led to a back-

things will always be tough for blacks.
Just don’t use it as an excuse.
“The doors are more readily
open for blacks getting into the arts
today," Parks says in Sunday’s Dai

never go away.”
The 84-year-old artist, novelist, di
rector, photographer, composer, poet
and screenwriter built his legendary
career on some solid parental advice.
“My mom always said, ‘If you’re
going to be somebody, you have to
want to be somebody,” Parks said. “If
anything propelled me in my life, it
was that I wouldn't let bigotry stand
in my way. My daddy told me, ‘Some
times you have to waltz around your
