Those are the “losses” for Texas A&M University during 1975, which will go down as another vintage year for the state s first public institution of higher education now on the eve of its centennial. Even the losses are not really los ses. The Aggie mascot’s successor. Rev IV, has already assumed her po sition under the watchful eye of the Corps of Cadets. The Liberty Bell, currently on display in the state capitol, is temporarily being shared with the rest of Texas during the na tion’s bicentennial. The Board of Re gents has made it clear the replica will be returned to its rightful place in the Academic Building rotunda after the national celebration. A futuristic-looking two-million-gallon replacement for the antiquated water tower is now in service. Texas A&M continued to be among the nation’s pacesetters in en rollment increases, registering its largest one-year gain, of 3,784 stu dents, to surpass 25,000 for the first time. The final fall tabulation was 25,247. Academic qualifications re main high, with entering freshmen still exceeding the national average on the Scholastic Aptitude Test by some 130 points. The ranks of Na tional Merit Scholars also continues to grow. Expansion of the university’s re search activities continued at a rec ord pace, with the volume for the 1974-75 fiscal year totaling $39.3 mil lion. Current funding is running about $4.2 million ahead of last year’s level. The funds cover programs in all major fields of study, with special emphasis placed this year on energy related projects. The Center for Energy and Min eral Resources was formed to coor dinate and expand the university’s research regarding better use of existing fuels and possibilities for new sources for the state. The Legis lature included in its appropriations for the current biennium $1.9 mil lion for energy studies at Texas A&M. Another development at Texas A&M this year was the inauguration of the Texas A&M University Press.
