More Work Area, Larger Snack Bar
THE BATTALION
Thursday, May 12, 1966 College Station, Texas
Improved Facilities Sorely Needed In MSC
By PAT PRITCHETT
What the Memorial Student
Center needs most is greatly en
larged student work area, more
lounge space and an enlarged and
modernized snack bar area.
These are three things Direc
tor J. Wayne Stark would most
like to add to the MSC.
“We need a huge area some
what like the Student Program
Office, but a number of times
larger, to house all the parts
of the Council and Directorate,
Student Senate, Civilian Student
Council, classes and all the other
300 officially recognized student
organizations on campus,” Stark
said.
“This would be used as a head
quarters for the organizations
and should contain typewriters,
desks and filing cabinets.”
He explained that some organi
zations do not have permanent
headquarters or a permanent
sponsor and their materials and
correspondence are constantly be
ing moved from one place on cam
pus to another. This student work
area would enable the organiza
tions to work more efficiently.
“In addition to this one big
work area, we need to have one
or two rooms adjoining that can
be reserved for planning big an
nual events, like the Cotton Pag
eant. These could be reserved for
one, two, three or four weeks to
plan and organize the activity.”
STARK SAID a second big
need is for the individual stu
dent to have a place to sit, read
a letter, have a cup of coffee
and visit with his friends.
“This is especially needed now
because more and more students
are driving in to class and don't
have a dorm to go to during the
day.”
Along with more lounge space,
Stark stressed the need for a
“modernized and hugely enlarged
snack area.”
Maximum banquet seating is
350 now, but Stark noted there is
a need to be able to seat 500 to
800 people at one meal, or pos
sibly even 1,000.
“THE FOOD serving and pro
ducing area needs to be modern
ized and enlarged if we are going
to serve these areas that we have
talked about for the students,”

he said in speaking of another
hoped-for enlargement.
Another group of people for
whom more room in the MSC is
needed are the former students,
who originally gave $190,000 in
bonds to help build the building.
How did all this begin? What
was the starting point that led
to this large impressive Wkftding
on the Texas A&M campuA that
wll become larger still ? But
more important than the build
ing, what started the college
union movement, and how does
A&M fit into it?
IT BEGAN at Cambridge in
1815 when members of three de
bating societies would gather at
the Red Lion Inn before and after
debates to talk and have some
thing to eat and drink. But
they realized that they wanted
and needed more room, club
rooms and a debate hall of their
own.
They got these things, and
gradually libraries, dining rooms,
meeting rooms, lounges and of
fices were added along with art
exhibits, poetry and philosophy
books in the libraries, so the
unions became a cultural as well
as a social center.
The movement spread ip
America and quickly grew. In
the mid-twenties there were bare
ly a dozen unions; 900 are either
built or being planned now. Col
leges recognize that young people
away from home need a center
and a program outside the class
room.
The Association of College
Unions says a union is “The com
munity center of the college, for
all members of the college fami
ly, part of the educational pro
gram.” The college union, and
particularly the MSC, does this
in many ways.
ONE IS AS a living room of
the college. This is certainly true
at A&M, for the MSC has ab
sorbed that nickname. It has be
come a gathering place for stu
dents, faculty and campus visit
ors.
A second way it serves is as
a dining room. The MSC dining
room serves meals three times
a day and also prepares food for
numerous banquets.
The union should be a service
center, and in the MSC this in
cludes a barber shop, telegraph
service, travel bureau, guest
rooms, check cashing service, post
office, telephones, newspaper and
magazine stands and a gift shop.
The fourth way a union would
serve is as a conference center.
This is fulfilled at A&M, as the
MSC » the site of shortcourses
throughout the year and also for
activities such as the Student
Conference on National Affairs
and Hydro-Space Fiesta.
IT SHOULD be a center for
cultural recreation. The MSC
has a recreational reading room,
photography darkroom, music
listening and piano-playing rooms
and places for art displays.
The final two ways in which
a union should serve—as a labora
tory for student government and
as a unifying force — are com
bined in the MSC Council and Di
rectorate. The members of the
Council serve as the governing
body, and the 14 committee of the
Directorate plan the majority ot
student events. These include
anything from a Brenda Lee per
formance to a speech by Scott
Carpenter to a European charter
flight in the summer.
KINETIC ART
. . . Mrs. Vickie Deuel studies display.
Kinetic Art Form
Displayed In MSC
An art form created by a Tex
as Aggie is being displayed in
the Memorial Student Center at
Texas A&M by the Contemporary
Arts Committee. The unusual
paintings will be exhibited until
June 4.
Dr. Frank J. Malina, a 1934
graduate, is an aeronautical en
gineer, geophysicist, founder of
the Jet Propulsion Lab at Cal
tech, Lunar International Labora
tory researcher and holds a
British patent on the art form he
encourages people to copy.
The Brenham native, who ex
hibits kinetic art in Paris,
France, produced the form in
1955 when he placed lights be
hind a layer of colored wire mesh
and attached thermal interrupters
to them. From this beginning,
the designer and launcher of
America’s first successful high-
altitude rocket (the WAC Corp
oral) launched a new art.
Six paintings exhibited near
the MSC main doors consist of
basic compositions painted on
fixed transparent plaques (sta
tor). One or more elements
(rotors) are painted and moved
by electric motors. Light from
lamps incorporated in the con
struction is cast on a semi-trans
parent screen. The art takes
two formats, lumidyne (lighted
from behind) and reflectodyne
(front lighted).
The A&M graduate has created
100 of the art objects which are
hung in Lyons Museum and the
Musee d’Art Moderne in Paris.
In the unique system of art,
Malina chose themes in the world
of science and focuses attention
on the interplay between science
and art.
Paintings loaned to the Con
temporary Arts Committee are
“Orbit No. II,” “Electro Paint
ing No. 20 and No. 21,” “Birgo,”
“Nebula No. 1” and “Orbit No. 5.”
The pieces were loaned by Mrs.
Smith Mercer, Malina’s sister,
and R. E. Robertson, both of
Houston.
Other creations depict constel
lations such as Cepheus, Polaris,
Ursa Major, nebulae and other
interstellar objects. Man’s en
try into space spawned a series
of orbital paintings and others
show graphic design of a frog’s
heartbeat, geometrical forms, and
atomic, biological and molecular
structure.
Malina is director of the In
ternational Academy of Aero
nautics and permanent represent
ative to UNESCO of the Interna
tional Astronautics Federation.
The futuristic paintings on dis
play evoke varied and interesting
remarks.
“We’d like to hide a tape re
corded in the booth and get some
of the comments,” remarked Dav
id Gay, chairman of the arts ex
hibit subcommittee.

Awards $85,742
Research Grant
An $85,742 continuing grant
to the Texas A&M Research and
Graduate Center was announced
Wednesday by School of Archi
tecture Chairman Edward Romie-
niec.
The Public Health Service
award is for the second year of
a three-year research program
to make patient care buildings
more adaptable to rapidly chang
ing demands created by advances
in medical techniques and equip
ment, hospital operations and
fluctuating social patterns.
Assistant Professor James R.
Patterson is project director. Ker-
mit Anderson is professional re
search assistant. Graduate as
sistants include Frank Still of
Temple, Douglas Ogilvie of San
Antonio, Dan Malcolm of Cana
dian, and Russell Stogsdill and
Mike Greer of Fort Worth.
Paterson said his staff will
construct actual working proto
types of full-size, fully-equipped
rooms this year.
The research involves analyz
ing and developing single and
multiple bed forms for patient-
care rooms and in groups as nurs
ing units. Special emphasis is
given, Patterson explains, to con
venience and service equipment.
Plans call for the resulting
adaptable building system to be
used to supplement or renovating
existing building interiors and in
new construction of patient care
buildings.
The grant is being administered
by the Texas Engineering Ex
periment Station.
The Public Health Service
awarded $66,384 to A&M for
first year of the study.
