Children grow with students
By Susan Rlehey
Reporter
Practice makes perfect.
This is an old cliche that is
applied in the home economics de-
partment with the child development
center.
Here, students who are inter-
ested in child development and day
care have the opportunity to work
with children who are enrolled in the
day care center.
This day care center, which is
located in the home economics de-
partment, is certified by the State of
Texas and is run by Karryll Hanson
who is also certified. They are li-
censed to handle 29 children., These
children are ages three to fivd.
There are three classes "offered
by Tarleton's home economics de-
partment that interact with the child
development center t according to
child development instructor, Mrs.
Annette Bradberry.
Home econimics course 1043 is
a freshman level child development
course. The course starts with the
.prenatal stage and goes to adoles-
cence. This course is recommended
for anyone who wants to gain a wider
knowledge of children and is taken
by many people other than home
economics majors. Each student in
the course selects a child in the cen-
ter and does a case study.
The junior level child develop-
ment course is home economics
3003. It is usually taken by home
economics majors and education
majors. There are, however, other
majors who enroll in the course. This
semester some of the other majors
include criminal justice, physical
education and business.
The course emphasizes devel-
opment of the-child from conception
to age six. In their lab, there is an
assigned observation topic each week
where the students go to the day care
center and observe the children.
The final course offfered is home
economics 3053. This course is for
anyone interested in working in or
organizing a day care center. For
their lab, the students present activi-
ties for the children and they do a lot
of teaching in the day care center.
For additional information about
any of these courses, contact Mrs,
Bradburry in the home economics

Spanish Club developed
to promote Spanish culutre
By Carol Kunz
Reporter
Assistant Professor of
Foreign Languages, Dr. Hugo
Munoz, realized there was a need
for a student spanish club to
futher the interest in the Spanish
culture.
The Tarleton State University
Spanish Club was formed during
the Ml 1990 semester.
The club meets every other
Wednesday at the home of Dr.
Munoz on the corner of North
Ollie and Sloan Streets.
The earlier meetings consisted
of the election of offi^cia ami
planing of events, such as meals
from different South American
countries.
"We are looking forward to
another Spanish meal planned for
after spring break," President
Misty Gromatsky said.
A Spanish study group has
recently started to meet in room
221 in the Dick Smith Library on
campus.
The study group will meet
from 4-7 p.m. every other
Wednesday, alternating with the
club meetings.
"Non-members are invited to
join this liiioniiai study group,"
Gromatsky said.
A special event was recently
enjoyed by 20 members of the
Spanish Club when they journyed
to Euless, Texas to view Jorge
Tyller and his "Ballet Folklorio
Mexicano", a Mexican music and
dance spectaular.
"We are working on the
possibility of booking the tour
group at Tarleton next spring,"
Gromatsky said.
The next meeting will be held
on Wednesday, March 20, at 5:30
p.m. New Tarleton students are
welcome to join the club.
Phon-a-thon underway
By Lisa Prior
Reporter
The annual spring Phon-a-thon
at Tarleton is in progress to raise
funds for scholarships.
The Phon-a-thon, which began
in the fall of 1988, helps many stu-
dents throughout the year by provid-
ing scholarship funds needed to help
them through school.
Clubs, sororities and fraterni-
ties wiU be contacting several thou-
sand alumni March 4-7 and March
11-14, hoping to raise as much cash
as possible.
Last year, an estimated $25,000
was raised for both the fall and spring
semesters. This year the Tarleton
State University Foundation, Inc.
hopes to bring in $38,000.
Monday night, the first night of
the Phon-a-thon, brought in over
$700.
Calls are made alphabetically
according to time zones of the alumni.
The range of bids offered are from $5
to $1,000. Often alumni who donate

Fifty-two of those points came in
the second half.
Chatman scored 22 points
and grapped down nine boards, but
the Texans just weren't the same on
defense without the big senior post.
The final was 83-71.

have the deer on hand but the picture
did enough justice.
There was even a story of a buck
taken which had an 18" tine, which is
a new Muy Grande record.
Even my partner Adami had a

had taken a few years earlier.
There never seemed to be a dull
moment in the small town last week-
end. One good piece of advice I
have their business or corportation

money.
ARA services provides pizza
and drinks for the three teams of five
each night, hoping to inspire the
volunteers.
One participant, Kristy Tillman,
Gamma Sigma Sigma member, said,

on the phone? The Phon-a-thon is a
great way to get out that urge and
have Tarleton's present talk to Tarle-
