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.
