Graphics Computer art on exhibit By ANN CERVENKA Staff Writer A panel of Texas A&M profes sors discussed various uses of computer graphics at the opening of an exhibition of computer art and graphics Tuesday. In a brief introduction to the discussion, Dr. Gordon Eaton, Texas A&M vice president for academic affairs, said that be cause computers are becoming “user friendly,” their importance in the future is increasing. Eaton said that graphics are be ginning to merge into the com puter mainstream. Bruce McCormick, a computer science professor at Texas A&M, described the history of computer graphics. The first images were created in 1952, he said. In the late 1950s and the early 1960s, the invention of the TX-2 com puter made visual presentation of data possible. However, the first computer graphics program was not written until the 1960s, he said. E Edgar Meyer, a the department of biochemistry and biophysics, noted the impor tance of computers in research of molecules. The functions of mol ecules in the human body can be studied by using three-dimensio nal images, he said. Computer graphics also can be used in geographical research, Forest Science Professor Robert Maggio said. McCormick is optimistic about the future of computer graphics. With the combination of the tal ents of artists and scientists, ad vancements and improvements should be made, he said. The computer graphics ex hibit, “SIGGRAPH ’83,” will be in Rudder Exhibit Hall from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily through April 11. Admission is free. SIGGRAPH, which is short for Special Interest Group for Computer Graphics, was brought to A&M by the Of fice of Cultural Development and several other University divisions and departments. Expelled student files suit seeking her readmittance By TAMARA BELL Staff Writer A student’s personal problems are a consideration when a college is de ciding whether someone should be expelled, Dr. E.D. Gage of the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medi cine said Tuesday. But Bonny Jo Eason claims the veterinary college has expelled her without considering her unusual cir cumstances. Eason filed a suit last week in the 85th District Court in Bryan asking for readmission to the college’s professional program and for monetary compensations. “Time and time again we read mitted her after semesters on schol astic probation,” Gage, the veteri nary school’s associate dean for academic programs, said. She could have dropped out dur ing her periods of difficulty, he added, but she didn’t take that op tion. Eason and her lawyer, Larry Watts of Houston, were unavailable for comment. According to her suit, Eason, while pursuing her career at Texas A&M, was raising three sons alone after her second divorce. After her first semester in the Fall 1978 she had a 1.5 grade point ratio and was placed on scholastic probation. A 2.0 GPR is required by the University. The suit states that the following fall she brought hey cumulative GPR to 2.25. However, Eason was put back on scholastic probation in May 1982 when her grades included a D and an F. She was required to maintain a 2.5 GPR after her readmittance to the college six months later. Generally, a 2.0 GPR is needed to stay in the pro gram. Eason, the suit states, returned to the college in Spring 1983. But be cause of personal traumas, including an unsuccessful third marriage, she failed to meet the “arbitrary and ex traordinary requirements imposed upon her.” However, according to the suit, Eason had maintained a cumulative GPR of 2.0. She was dismissed in May 1983. She lost an appeal of the decision the following month. The suit names Texas A&M and 11 professors as defendants. Eason will have to obtain legis lative permission to bring this case against the state, said A&M system associate general counselor Jerry Cain. Student Senate will vote on protest bill The Student Senate will vote on a bill tonight that calls on the Univer sity to take “appropriate measures” to stop all protesting and demonstra tions in and around the Memorial Student Center complex. Robert HilU-the bill's sponsor, said the bill was designed to prevent demonstrations on the grass around the MSG. “This bill is not designed to violate students’ First Amendment rights,” he said. “The bill is to remind stu dents that the MSC is a memorial and to reinstate the MSC’s memorial status.” The Senate also will vote on a bill requesting that the University Hous ing Office reserve dormitory space for single graduate students enter ing Texas A&M. A bill calling for the establishment of coed dormitories on campus will go before the Senate. The Senate also will vote on a bill that offers solutions to the campus bicycle problem. The bill, sponsored by Jim West, recommends that the University close the interior of the campus to bicycle traffic. The bill also calls for all bikes to be registered with the University Police and that the bicycles’ owners pay a $3 registration fee. The Senate meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. in 204 Harrington.
