COLLEGE NEWS
Hill Country College Fund
(HCCF) volunteers have raised a
record $383,452 to fund
need-based tuition assistance
grants for Schreiner College
students from Kerr, Gillespie,
Bandera, Edwards, Real, Kimble,
and Kendall counties.
Chairman of the 1994 HCCF
drive Chuck Forbes announced
the campaign^ total to volunteers
and donors at the victory party at
Schreiner College's Student
Center February 7th.
This year's campaign yielded a
nine percent increase over last
year's record-breaking drive and
resulted in overall increases in all
donor categories: number of new
donors, number of repeat donors,
and number of repeat donors who
increased the dollar amounts of
their gifts.
Forbes said that 100 percent of
the money raised will be used for
need-based tuition assistance;
more than fifteen percent will be
put into an endowment fund to
guarantee future grants.
According to Forbes, the
campaign's goal, $380,000, was a
$30,000 increase over last year's.
The 1994 volunteer leaders,
Forbes; Advanced Gifts Division
chairman Mark Cowden;
Business Division chairman Ron
Vick; and Citizen's Division
co-chairman Mindy and John
Wendele, say the hike was
needed to help more of the
growing number of local residents
who need financial aid to realize
their higher education dreams at
Schreiner.
An HCCF grant provides
$2,000 or more per year for a
qualified student.
"I believe those of you who
worked so hard, and those who
offered your monetary gifts to the
HCCF campaign are special
people," Forbes told the
gathering. "Redognizing the
importance of a student's pursuit
of higher education, helping him
or her to accomplish that, is the
mark of a commuinity looking
forward to its future. It makes me
proud."
Forbes acknowledged the
businesses and families who
participated in the Ray C. Fish
Foundation Challenge by giving a
first gift or increased goft which
qualified. Those donations
earned th4e full $15,000 in
matching funds from the
foundation.
In appreciation for Forbes’s
leadership during his year as
HCCF chairman, Schreiner
President Dr. Sam Junkin
presented him with a copy or the
book that is being placed in
Schreiner's William Logan Library

Congressman Smith

IMMUNIZE YOUR LITRE
TEXAN BY1W0
-SHOTS ACROSSTEXAS
Harper ISD will administer
the writing portion of the
TAAS to 4th and 8th
graders on March 7, and
the EXIT level TAAS to
10th graders on March 7,
8, and 9, and a passing
score on the EXIT level
is required to receive a
Texas diploma. If your
child will be involved,
encourage him to do his
very best. A good night's
sleep the night before, and
breakfast the day of the
test can really boost a
child's success!
Shotline
fl I took my baby to get his
shots and he cried from the
pain. I don’t think I can put him
through that again.
II When adults need a shot, they
fie know it's going to cause a
short, stinging sensation. They ex-
pect the discomfort in advance and
can prepare for it. But your baby
isn’t able to anticipate what is about
to happen, so he may cry from the
surprise as well as the sting. True,
immunizations may startle and hurt
a bit, but they give lifetime protec-
tion from serious diseases that can
cause your baby much greater pain
or even death.
Immunization methods have
been developed to help avoid dis-
comfort. Polio vaccine is given in
drops that babies swallow. Other
vaccines have been combined,
making fewer shots necessary. For
instance, measles, mumps and ru-
bella vaccines are usually given in
one injection. And Haemophilus
influenzae type h vaccine has been
combined with diphtheria, tetanus
and pertussis vaccines.
If you think your baby’s reac-
tion to his shots was unusual, tell
your doctor or nurse before the
next series of immunizations.
fl Why is so much publicity
If ■ and money spent on immu-
nizations when other diseases
may kill more often?
A Not too many years ago,
epidemics swept this nation,
crippling and killing hundreds of
thousands of people. Diphtheria,
tetanus, polio, even measles,
mumps and rubella were dreaded
diseases that caused much suffer-
ing, and there was no way to pre-
vent their spread. Even as recent as
the 1960s, outbreaks of rubella
among pregnant women caused
many long-term complications in
unborn children. Now we have vac-
cines that protect against many dis-
eases that were once as deadly as
AIDS, heart disease and cancer.
Vaccines have not eliminated the
viruses and bacteria that cause dis-
eases. These still exist. Vaccines
simply make it possible to ward
off the invasion of these disease-
causing organisms. But six out of
10 preschool-age children in Texas
are not fully immunized, so more
than half of our children are vulner-
able to serious diseases that could
be prevented. More than 4,000
Texas children have suffered from
measles during the last five years,
and 14 died!
Health officials are focusing pub-
licity and money on immunizations
because all Texas children need to
be protected, and parents need to
know what they can do to make
sure their children are protected.
Immunization is a simple process.
It takes just four or five visits to the
doctor’s office or clinic before the
child reaches the age of two.
When a chi Id reaches school age,
booster shots are necessary to
strengthen the protection that was
begun before the age of two. To
help provide a lifetime of protec-
tion, booster shots (for most vac-
cines) are needed during the teen
years and during adulthood.

doctor’s office, health clinic or
