Students play Army
UVALDE—Eleven Southwest Texas Junior College -Students had the opportunity to “play Army with members of the Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets on Febreuary 21-23.
The SWTJC students are members of the technical writing group associated with a research project funded by an American Chemical Society grant. They are studying the use of insect mating pheramones for control of insect .reproduction.
They travelled to A&M For a day and a half of ^iard research in the Sterling C. Evans Library on the A&M campus.
In addition to much
pheramone research, they also learned something about A&M and Aggies. Because all SWTJC students were housed in the “Quad” dorm area where the Corps lives, they	learned	such
essential items as the fact that	Aggie	Corps
members have an early reveille and formation, that they do many pushups each day, and they run a lot.
Each SWTJC student had a host roomate from A&M. After finishing their research, several of the students were escorted in a tour around Bryan-College Station by some of their newly found Aggie friends.
Accompanying the research group were Dr.
and Mrs. Joseph M. Kirkland, Mr. Ed Heath, and Mrs. Sharon Dent. Dr. Kirkland, the technical writing instructor, is supervising this aspect of the research project. Mr. Heath, the chemistry instructor, is coordinator for the project.
Students making the trip were Terry Bein, Carolyn Pape, Phil Gorman, Patrick Seals, Anthony Morin, Edwin Garner, Robert Elledge, James Haynes, Roland Cardenas, David Mata and Leroy Hernandez.

QUERIDA DEBBIE: ' Mi novio y yo quebramos hace algunos meses. En Navidad el le regalo a esta muchacha un anillo de compromiso. Yo pienso que lo hizo nada mas de puro despecho. Hace algunas semanas me rogo que volviera con el. El dice que el no tiene el valor de pedirle el anillo a la muchacha, pero me dijo que si yo se lo pedia, que podia ser mió. Yo quiero mucho a este muchacho, Debbie, pero no creo que el debe esperar qu yo le recobre su anillo. Que piensas tu?

Yo he sabido de lo celoso que puede ser una gente pero mi novia lo lleva a tal extremo que me empiezo a preocupar. Yo Yo inocentemente fui a comer la semana pasada con dos señoras mayores de edad que trabajan en mi oficina. Yo se lo mencione a mi novia, sin pensar que le afectara para nada. Pues ella hablo enfunadamente de eso por media hora en el carro, llamándome un traidor. Luego salió enfunada del carro, aventando la puera en mi cara. La siguiente manana cuando fui a mi carro la ventana
del lado del chofer estaba atropellada. Cuando le llame a mi novia para preguntarle, ella confeso que la había quebrado con un martillo. Yo pensaba casarme eventualmente con esta muchacha pero ahora no estoy tan seguro.

QUERIDO PADRE:
Después esta experiencia atropellante yo me imagino que tu debieras de pensarlo de nuevo. Si tu salida a comer fue tan inocente como tu dices, yo dejaría a esta novia permanentemente.

QUERIDA DEBBIE:
Tu has de recibir cartas todos los dias sobre el costo de la vida. Solamente que en nuestro caso hay mas que lamentar. Desde que mi esposo perdió su trabajo, nuestras vidas se han volteado al rebes. Después de seis meses el banco nos clausuro por la deuda de nuestra casa. Nos cambiamos a un pequeño apartamento y mis ñiños tuvieron que dejar a todos sus amiguitos. Yo encontré un trabajo en un restaurante y aun después de todo lo que nos hemos recortado, todavía estamos batallando para sobrevivir la inflación. Mi esposo se rehúsa a trabajar en un empleo que sea “bajo su nivel" y no ha trabajado en casi un ano. Tal vez yo debería estar escribiendo a un experto de finanzas, pero estoy tan cansada y me siento

“Este caso es un claro ejemplo,” dijo el Lie. Munoz, “de la común y creciente queja de que el Parks and Wildelife Department parece ser mas una agencia privada que proteje los interes de los rancheros, y no proteje los animales campestres del estado.”
Después de 20 minutos de deliberación en el caso, el jurado encontró que los hombres eran inocentes por falta de evidencia.
Miembros del jurado fueron Esiquio Hernandez, LannyCravy, Rogelio Cardona, Santos Flores II, Eufemio Duran y Warren Neil.

RUTH QUERIDA RUTH:
Lo importante ahora es de mantener el espíritu de tus ñiños arriba. Tu estas pasando por un periodo de prueba y cuando todo pase ustedes resultaran mas unidos que nunca y se habran hecho considerablemente mas fuertes. Tu esposo debe conseguir un trabajo por ahora, cualquier trabajo que pueda mientras que pasa este tiempo difícil. Yo estoy segura que tu no te preocupaste por si el trabajo que tu tomaste era bajo “tu nivel" o no.

Students to learn nutrition skills
We’re Growing! Advertise With Us El Uvalde Times 278-3616
Local second-graders are promised maximum fun and learning when their teachers introduce them to “Big Ideas in Nutrition Education: Blanced Meals.”
The special two-week unit helps youngsters make better food choices, both in the school cafeteria and at home. The program is based on the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s food grouping system, an easy-to-understand guide for selecting a balanced diet. The major food groups include milk, meat, vegetable-fruit and breadcereal.
Ms. Fran Johnson, nutrition consultant for Dairy Council, Inc., San Antonion, conducted the teacher workshop for the Anthon Elmentary school for second grade teacher; Diane Curtis.
The second-grade students will be able to classify foods into the food groups, and select a balanced meal, after completing the unit.
"Students take what they’ve learned at school
home with them. Parents who help their second-graders make wise food choices at home often find themselves learning about nutrition, because ‘Balanced Meals’ is based on what Dairy Council nutritionists call ‘survival skill,”’ Ms. Fran Johnson said. “These nutrition ‘Survival skills’ can be compared to driving a car,” she added. “You don’t have to know how an internal combustion engine works to operate it safely, but you do have to know how to start the engine and fill the tank with gas.”
Dairy Council, Inc. is a nonprofit nutrition education organization serving 21 million people in a seven-state region, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. the organization is funded by local diary farmers. In addition, this year DCI has received a grant from the Texas Education Agency to supplement DCI’s programs, and to increase the number of teachers and students reached within the state.
