    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.

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.

“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,

A dinner banquet Saturday night will feature Lati
no writer Victor Villasenor. His novel, Rain of Gold,
about the struggle of living between two cultures, will
be made into an ABC television movie.
A diverse sampling of entertainers including Ballet
Folklorico and the Aggie Wranglers will perform.
Aguirre said 300 to 400 delegates will attend the
weekend conference.
“People that come to our conference, whether they
are Latino or of another race, will have ideas of differ
ent cultures,” Aguirre said.
Raya said she hopes the delegates will broaden their
knowledge of Latino culture and meet other delegates.

Made up of 3 sworn officers, the
group strives to inform the public
on crime prevention through com
mon sense.
The members earned the 1995
Outstanding Crime Prevention
Unit award for an institution of
higher education.
The UPD has also received two
President’s Meritorious Service
Awards and the annual Mothers
Against Drunk Driving award, given
to the officer making the most DWI
arrests during the year.
UPD also participates in several
community charities, including the
Rape Crises Center, Scotty’s House
for abused children, the Salvation
Army and Phoebe’s Home for bat
tered women.
