Used Cars to be sold
for as low as $99.00 and up.
Local Brazos county dealership is having a massive used car Price
Reduction Sales Event this Monday, Labor Day Sept. 7th, Rain or Shine
Bryan, TX
Pat Summerall Imports has announced
its plan to have a $99 dollar used car
price reduction sales event this Monday,
Labor Day, Sept. 7,1998.
Carter said, “Even if you’ve had a prob
lem obtaining auto financing before, we
will have some of the most liberal
lenders in the area at this event. Just
bring in a current payroll stub and a
valid Texas drivers license.
We at Pat Summerall Imports have
made a decision to liquidate out used
vehicles to the public by means of a
$99 used cars price reduction. During
this one-day event, every used vehicle
will be sold for thousands below its
original price!
All cars will be on display at 1309
Texas Ave., Bryan, TX. At 10:00 a.m.
all vehicles will be opened so that buy
ers may inspect the vehicles. The retail
price will be posted on the windshield
of each vehicle. When the sale begins at
11:00 a.m., whoever is sitting in the
vehicle when the event begins, will
have the first chance to purchase the
vehicle at the reduced price. Prices will
be reduced one time to the rock bottom
price, including some vehicles for only
$99 dollars. When the sale is completed
for the day, Pat Summerall Imports will
resume business as usual.
Bob Carter further stated that he
believes that this is the “absolute best
opportunity for anyone seeking a used
car or truck to get the best deal ever. Pat
Summerall Imports wants to be a strong
supporter of the community, and they
hope the community will be a supporter
of Pat Summerall Imports, since we are
a local business we would like to give
back to the community. This is our way
of saying thanks.” This event also
allows the dealer to reduce his invento
ry and the customer to get a car or truck
for as low as $99.
Any questions can be directed to 409-
822-2446 at Pat Summerall Imports.
Bob Carter, General Manager of Pat
Summerall Imports said that, ’’cus
tomers can expect the reduced prices to
be very close to public auction pricing,
without the auction fee.” Due to the
response of this event, Carter has
agreed to have all trades, lease returns
and auction purchases available for the
sale. The price reduction approach to
selling used vehicles is revolutionizing
the way used vehicles are being sold
and allows everybody to get a great deal
on a used car or truck.
The mission statement of Pat
Summerall Imports, Inc. is to provide
“Value in pricing and integrity in cus
tomer service.” Our staff and sharehold
ers are committed to do the right thing
because it’s the right thing to do! Every
customer should drive away from our
facility confident and certain that he/she
received fair and honorable treatment.
Pat Summerall Imports will do whatev
er possible to deliver these qualities to
every customer we have the honor of
serving! We are a world class automo
bile dealership serving our customers in
sales, service, and parts.
Pat Summerall Imports will have buyers
on hand to take your trade-ins, as well
as special finance and credit analysis to
get you pre-qualified before the sale.

Hurd said he hopes to see
more events like the party in the
future.
“The MSC is the community
center on campus. We’re doing our
part to experience other groups. We
want to see more programs like this
where people experience other cul
tures,” he said.
Thomaz Styblinski, a junior
computer science major from
Poland, said he encourages Ameri
can students to come to parties.
“All nationalities are wel
come. We try to welcome every
one from A&M, no matter where
they are from. We want everyone
to have fun and to propagate un
derstanding in all the world. We
are all citizens of the world, not
a country,” he said.
According to its mission state
ment, the ISA is a “student orga
nization whose mission is to pro
mote cultural exchange between
and among international and
U S. students, to promote good
relations among the students of
all nations attending Texas A&M
University and to provide oppor
tunities to learn about ourselves
and others through multicultural
experiences." It seeks to repre

Bohac continues to work on a career
education book, which she said was in
spired from teaching the CAEN 102
class.
"When students walk in (the
classroom), they are not the quarter
back or the star of the basketball
team,” Bohac said. “They are indi
viduals. A lot of the student athletes
come in with their mind set on play
ing pro sports, but we try to develop
a plan B.”
Bohac said students involved in
revenue sports like baseball, basket
ball and football generally want to
continue professionally after college
athletics.
“It’s a hard time for some because
you have been playing a sport for most
of your life, and then one day it’s over,”
he said.
Bohac said student-athletes who
leave to play professional sports often
return to Texas A&M to continue their
education.
“We try to do the best we can to
make sure they have something in
their hands when they walk across the
stage,” Bohac said. “We are seeing a
lot more student-athletes who are
coming back to finish their degrees.”
Former football player Ken
Reeves left Texas A&M a semester
before graduation to play profes
sional football for the Philadelphia
Eagles and, five years later, for the
Cleveland Browns,
Reeves returned to Texas A&M to
finish his undergraduate degree in
1992 and his masters in 1996 with
help from the Career Center.
He is now working on his Ph.D. and
serves as the human resources advisor
for the Dynegy Co. in Houston.
Athletics Director Wally Groff said
the resources invested in athletics
should include career education for
student-athletes.
“We spend a lot of time and money
on student-athletes (while they are eli
gible for athletics) and then seem to
drop them off once they lose eligibility."
Groff said. “Career services kind of com
pletes the cycle. ”
Tedi Ellison, the director of athletic
compliance at Texas A&M, said student-
athletes deserve guidance in their ca
reer decisions, but career advising for
athletes and non-athletes should al
ways “be under the same umbrella.”
“They play in sports for the Uni
versity and take classes. It seems like
it just sits right to help them look for
a career,” Ellison said. "I think that
it is a natural culmination of their life
at the University.”
