THE BATTALION
line I The A&M Board of Directors
I s decided that artificial turf,
otball’s magic carpet, will be
d goal-to-goal in Kyle Field by
xt fall.
Acting on the recommendation
the university’s Athletic Coun-
, the board announced plans
ednesday to finance the new
sying surface for the 48,000-
,t football stadium.
The bright green grass-like
, . rpet also will be used on the
tieauledil |gj es > practice field, making
A&M one of only a few institu-
Hpns in the nation with such
| cilities.
Board President Clyde Wells
Granbury said bids for the
oject will be accepted in Febru-
s|y, with the turf expected to
in place about 90 days later.
Wells said the practice field
a so will be used for such ac-
■dties as intramurals, Corps of
hdets drills and Aggie Band
J actice.
According to head football
4ach and athletic director Gene
fallings, the estimated cost of
e project would be in the range
o $500,000.
In other action, the board
lopted a statement on academic
leedom, responsibility and ten-

ure. The statement, covering all
the academic institutions in the
A&M system, follows the general
guidelines of the previously en
dorsed policy of the Coordinating
Board, Texas College and Uni
versity System.
The board also gave the uni
versity permission to initiate ac
tion to establish a sociology and
anthropology department and of
fer four new degree programs.
Board members also appropri
ated $569,448 for a variety of
system projects, awarded con
tracts totaling $380,430 and au
thorized the university to estab
lish the Moody Marine Institute
at Galveston.
In seeking to establish a new
department of sociology and an
thropology, A&M will ask for
Coordinating Board approval to
transfer a portion of the cur
riculum now offered through its
Agricultural Economics and So
ciology Department. The new de
partment would be administered
by the College of Liberal Arts,
with the Agricultural Economics
Department functioning through
the College of Agriculture.
A&M also will seek Coordinat
ing Board approval for a Ph.D.
program in health and physical
education and B.S. programs in
industrial safety, engineering
technology and biomedical sci
ence.
The board awarded a $229,916
contract to R. B. Butler Inc. of
Bryan for construction of a cen
tral campus mall. Charles W.
Scott & Son Inc. of San Antonio
received a $21,432 landscaping
contract for the same project.
Two other Bryan firms, M.
Lawrence Parker Corp. and B-W
Construction Co., were awarded
$42,975 and $36,686 contracts for
installation of storm drainage at
the veterinary medicine complex
and renovation of the flight me
chanics laboratory at the univer
sity’s Research Annex.
Other contracts included $25,-
953 to Curtin Scientific Co. of
Houston for modifications at the
Biological Sciences building and
$23,468 to Otis Elevator Co. of
Houston for installation of a new
elevator at the YMCA Building.
Appropriations included $200,-
000 for detailed design of the
proposed Memorial Student Cen
ter addition and $200,000 for
similar design work for an ad
joining auditorium complex.
The board also appropriated
$54,934 for construction of a new
swine management and waste
handling facility, $15,460 for
modification of the mechanical
engineering shops, $15,000 for the
preliminary design of utilities
and streets in the MSC-auditori-
um area and $3,000 for design
of a 1,000-car parking lot.
In designating A&M’s marine
activiites at the new Mitchell
campus in Galveston as the Moody
Marine Institute, the university
honors the late William Lewis
Moody Jr. of Galveston.
The Moody Foundation awarded
Texas A&M a $1 million grant
for construction of facilities at
the new Pelican Island campus
and also has provided financial
support for numerous other uni
versity programs. Construction is
under way on the new campus.
Included in the Moody Marine
Institute will be the Texas Mari
time Academy, Marine Labora
tory and all of the university’s
Sea Grant program and Ocean
ography Department projects
conducted at Galveston.

Tobacco Road Cast Enters
Last Week of Rehearsals
By Bob Robinson
Aggie Players are entering
their final week of rehearsals on
the Broadway show that ran
seven years, “Tobacco Road.”
Jeeter Lester, a southern farm
er during the depression years,
is described as an untidy, but
American Hamlet in the Dec. 15,
1934 issue of Letters and Art.
The magazine also commented
on the legend that a mother used
to gaze upon her son’s cradle and
dream of the day he would be
come President.
“That gentle dream appears
now to have been crushed,” it
said, “and, it is said, the cradles
of infant boys from Eastport,
Maine, to San Clemente in Cali
fornia are hovered over by am
bitious mothers hopeful that, in
each case, the child will grow up
to play the role of Jetter Lester
in ‘Tobacco Road’.”
Jeeter Lester, the character,
and “Tobacco Road,” the book,
was created by Erskine Caldwell
while living frugally by himself
in a room on the lower east side
of New York.
C. K. Esten, director of the
Aggie Player production, said
Caldwell saw Jack Kirkland’s
original script and okayed it be
fore Kirkland put it into re
hearsal.
“Although they didn’t actually
work together, Caldwell sat in
on some of the rehearsals and
gave advice when it was re
quested,” Esten added.
“Tobacco Road” is the story
of Jetter Lester’s fight, even in
Campus Briefs

Plant Nutrition.”
Dr. Lindsay also will speak at
an informal seminar at noon Fri

UT Geologist Here
For Wednesday Meet
Dr. Virgil E. Barnes, Univer
sity of Texas geology professor,
will discuss tektites at the Wed
nesday meeting of the Brazos
Valley Gem and Mineral Society.
W. N. Williamson, society
president, said the meeting, open
to the public, will be held at 7:30
p.m. in Room 105 of the Geology
building.
Barnes, described by William
son as a world renowned author
ity on tektites, will have several
of the unusual stones on exhibit.
He also will have a slide presen
tation.
The UT professor became in
terested in tektites in the mid-
1930s and has since traveled
throughout the world studying
them. He is now director of tek-
tite research at UT.
Central Texas — particularly
areas around Grimes County —
is a popular hunting ground for
tektites, Williamson noted.

the face of death, to save the
land that has been lived on by
generations of his family. Ada,
his wife, is sarcastic of her hus
band’s fight, thinking him too
lazy to work so that she could
have food in the house, and snuff.
Grandma is seen, but not heard,
throughout the play.
Of the Lesters’ remaining chil
dren, Ellie May is a harelip, too
ugly to find a husband. Pearl
is a child bride who has run
away from her husband. Dude is
sarcastic and disrespectful, and
is taken as a husband by Sister
Bessie, a woman of God who is
more interested in the needs of
the flesh than of the divine.
Esten said the story could have
taken place anywhere because it
has to do with the basic facts
about man.
“This is the story of illiterate
people, in the sense of the ameni
ties of life,” he said. “They loved
the land because chances are
that’s all their social group
knew.”
“ ‘Tobacco Road’ is a sad show,
interspersed with a kind of hum
or,” Esten said. “It is one of
America’s greatest plays.”
The show opens Dec. 9 and runs
through Dec. 13 at Guion Hall.
Admission is $1. Curtain time is
