WHAT’S IT LIKE AT THE PLASMA CENTER? To the staff of the Plasma Center, I would like to start by saying thank you to each and every employee for making the past three years enjoyable in a professional, efficient and courteous environment. As a donor since 1993,1 have been more than satisfied with every aspect of your operation, which allows myself and others to contribute what we can to community service, all the while being serviced by diligent, but relaxed, workers. Everyone at the Plasma Center, from those behind the front counter to the phlebotomists to the supervisors, have made great efforts to insure that each donor feels hy- gienically safe, as well as keeping the atmosphere light. Like most, I started coming to the Plas ma Center for monetary reasons, but I soon de veloped acquaintances that appealed to me al most as much as the original need for money, enabling me to look forward to each donation, not only for my wallet’s sake but also to see my friends. Like I commented to someone recently, talking to people at the Plasma Center was like getting mail from a far-off friend that you don’t get to do much with, but who you can talk to as often as you write. For those acquaintances and for your continual services. I would like to thank all of those I’ve come to know and appreciate over the past three years - Emily, and Tracy, Heath, and Marty, Ada and Josie, etc... more I can’t remem ber or those who have gone on to better things. So, as I graduate from this great Univer sity, I bid you all a fond farewell and strong com mendations on such a successful blend of quali ty medical practice and friendly service. Thank you all and have a great summer. Thanks, C.F. Biological, THE PLASMA CENTER 700 E.

License Continued from Page 1 Jones said his personal convictions could not influence the legal decision he made. “I have to make a legal decision, not a moral deci sion,” he said. “Since it met the legal requirements and it was approved by the city of College Station and the TABC, I saw no reason not to issue the license.” Willy Madden,one of the owners of Texadelphia Sandwiches, said he is not depending on beer sales for the restaurant’s success. He said beer sales at the Austin location make up only 2 percent of total sales. Madden’s intention for the College Station location is to create a welcoming restaurant environment for families and students. “My place in Houston on Sunday afternoon is packed with people who are there with their kids,” Madden said, “some of which have just come from church.” Charles Anderson, the Senior Pastor of the Methodist Church, said selling alcohol is not necessary if Madden is gearing toward a family atmosphere. Ilv “If anyone can go, then alcohol would besupert ous and they would not need to have it," he said.‘h plaud the intention, but I question the reality.’’ Madden said Texadelphia Sandwiches is a restai and not a bar. “Once I get up and running and they see thetypeoi tablishment 1 will have, they will be embarrassed ashamed they made such a big deal about it,” Maddens! Anderson said the restaurant itself is not a threat j it contributes to an existing problem. “This is an entire Northgate issue — not alexaii phia issue,” he said. “Texadelphia is just 5 inchesofi] on a 20-foot flood.” Dr. Bob Mayfield, Director of the Baptist Stud] Center, said plans for the expansion of Norihgaitj discouraging to the church community. “Only time can tell,” he said. “But they have note] I l vinced me that Northgate is church-friendly.” I ^ Madden said Texadelpiihia Sandwiches will tryto I ■ an exception to the typical Northgate scene. “1 intend to enforce very strictly that no one mil able to walk out with any bottles,” he said. “Thewav place is set up, I or the manager will be watching] front door so 1 do not think it will be a problem, s CAMAC Continued from Page 1 A dinner banquet Saturday night will feature Lati no writer Victor Villasenor.
