bands and children to a banquet in the MSC Sat
urday night.
“It’s really one of the highlights of the whole ex
perience,” she said. “You’ve been with all of these
women for 24 hours straight, and you finally get
to meet the reason they are there with you."
Wieters said seeing students on campus dur
ing their tours and workshops is an uplifting ex
perience for the mothers.
“It’s really great when students say ‘howdy’ to
us—-we love it,” she said. “It makes us feel like
they’re glad we’re here and they are thinking, ‘Gee,
[wish my mom were here.”’

Jennifer Jo Muller, a junior poultry science major
d a member of the Class of ’99 Board, said class
nembers started Wednesday evening building their
hack. Muller spent Wednesday night in the shack.
"We first came out here with cardboard, scissors
r on Sura mdtape and no wood,” she said. “After some runs to
symptom ;etsome wood, we had the best shack because we
Selbersa tided up surviving the night without getting wet.”
The A&M chapter of Habitat built its first house last
ear. Members said some families in the Bryan-Col-
ept her rf 6 ? 6 Station area are living in substandard housing.
Habitat for Humanity International was founded
nl976 by Linda and Millard Fuller. Habitat’s mission
sto eliminate poverty housing from the world and
obuild relationships and a sense of community.
Through volunteer labor, management, expertise
id tax-deductible donations of money and materi-
i, Habitat builds and fixes homes.
Houses are sold at no profit to partner families, and
-interest mortgages are issued over a fixed period,
its of homes differ relative to location, labor, land
id materials. Small monthly mortgage payments, in-
ding taxes and insurance, are repaid in seven to 20
iars and deposited into a revolving “Fund for Hu
manity” which supports the construction of houses.
Each homeowner family is required to invest
urs into the construction of their home. This re-
tees the cost of the house, fosters pride of owner
ship among family members and lays the founda-
ionfor the development of positive relationships
siith other people, members said.
