But the machines are coming back. This time when they leave, the A&M stadium will be wearing a bright green mantle of Astroturf ringed by a red Tartan track. A practice field south of the sta dium also will have the synthetic surface. A&M’s Board of Directors ap proved the acquisition of the ar tificial turf last November, prior to the Thanksgiving Day A&M- Texas game. The funds were al located Feb. 24, setting in motion the installation procedure which will result in the Aggies opening the 1970 season Sept. 12 against Wichita State on the colorful, safe, wear-resistant, all-weather playing field.

Mon santo officials estimate 90 days from start to finish. The first phase is handled by A&M and its systems contractor, J. O. Adams. Adams will arrange for laying of the base. The base is similar to asphalt pavement on a highway. The current Kyle Field—and practice field—playing surface will be excavated to al low laying of crushed stone cov ered with asphalt. The layer of asphalt will be approximately two-and-one-half inches deep. Five to seven days after the base is finished, the Monsanto people and 3M people will begin installing the playing surfaces. In the case of the AstroTurf, an energy-absorbing pad an inch- and-one-half thick is bonded di rectly to the asphalt base. The actual surface which consists of one-half inch high nylon ribbons attached to a polyester backing is then bonded to the pad. The turf is laid in strips five- yards wide across the width of the field to include seven yards outside of each sideline. The strips are then seamed on the marking stripes designating five- yard intervals. The Astroturf on Kyle Field will contain 45 ounces of nylon fiber per square yard as compar ed with the 32 ounces per square yard of the turf in the Astro dome. Installation of the Astroturf will take 25 working days, ac cording to Monsanto officials. When the installation is com pleted, Kyle Field will be two feet lower than its current height, which will aid the vision of fans who are seated in lower rows. The field will have a crown of 14-18 inches to allow for drain age and a drainage system will be incorporated around the field as the base is laid. Monsanto guarantees the sur face for five years, but early in dications from other surfaces that have been in use for at least a year imply that the turf may last a great deal longer, in fact, may be nearly indestructible. Durability is but one of the many advantages of the synthetic surface. No. 1 in the mind of Gene Stallings, A&M Athletic Di rector and Head Football Coach, is the safety factor. A survey conducted by Mon santo showed that serious knee and ankle injuries are reduced by 80 per cent on AstroTurf. This is due to the fact that those inju ries are most frequently caused when a player’s cleats catch in the ground while his leg may be twisted due to a block or a tackle. Players and fans will get more enjoyment from not having mud battles. Other advantages include less upkeep, more attractive appear ance, and tremendous utility. ■■iii AWARDS MIKE WRIGHT A tip of the hat is due to Roy Edwards of the Dallas Morning News Sports Department. Mr. Edwards, not usually known for his kind pen toward Texas A&M, certainly reported the last game of Mike Heitmann with vigor. Edwards writes, “The Aggies started with a slight edge. The introduction of the starting lineups was interrupted by A&M’s head cheerleader, Sam Torn, who read a citation recognizing captain Mike Heitmann for “the most out standing traits of leadership in A&M’s basketball history.” People are usually quick to forget such stories and remember only the times when Edwards column poisoned the minds of young men about going to Texas A&M with stories of a shake up of the Aggie coaching staff, which, as you know, has come to pass. Aggies are also quick to remember the columns after the basketball incident last spring in which A&M tried to cover-up the facts instead of owning up and apologizing. One film clip showed the action of the event from one angle, while another film clip showed the action from another angle without the benefit of mixing bodies to obscure the view. So it could be that whenever Mr. Edwards takes out the poison pen, there is valid reason, or maybe we should have a few more Mike Heitmanns around. 3: 3: sK $ * The Texas Aggie Leonardo Di Vinci Masterpiece Award goes to the fans of the Texas Tech Red Raiders who tried to simulate the painting from last fall in Tech’s Jones Stadium. According to S. M. Meeks, Aggie equipment manager, the red and black double T appeared during the night of February 17 (the night of the Tech-A&M basketball game) in the middle of the student section on the back concrete wall. Looks like someone else could be out of the running for the coveted Southwest Conference Sportsmanship Award. It is impossible for cleats to catch on AstroTurf. The injury factor is also ap parent in the all-weather nature of the turf. More injuries occur due to treacherous footing—par ticularly pulled muscles — while the footing on AstroTurf is ex cellent even under adverse weath er conditions. Being guaranteed a suitable playing surface despite weather conditions has other benefits. There will be fewer missed prac tice sessions, less reasons to pro tect the field from use to save it for the game, no reason to keep a band from performing at halftime. And, when you have a band like the Fightin’ Texas Ag gie Band, that’s a big, big plus. Texas A&M plans to use the surface for many things in ad dition to intercollegiate athletics. The Health and Physical Edu cation Dept, will use the surface for instruction, recreation and research. The field will be used for such activities as intramurals, Corps of Cadets drills, and Aggie band practice. The practice field will be marked for soccer and speedball as well as football. The faculty physical fitness program will also use the facilities. Track Coach Charlie Thomas is excited about the Tartan track because of the speed factor. Times have been much faster on the artificial surface. A&M’s Curtis Mills set a world record of 44.7 in the 440-yard dash on a Tartan track in Knoxville, Tenn. With the kind of athletes Thomas has on his track squad, the new track should make track buffs just as excited.

The 2600 men who sell ideas for us are excited about what they're doing. We know that because they're successful at it. And many of them are recent college graduates. In fact, our preference is for young college graduates who get a kick out of being loners. Bull sessions aside, college students spend at least four years being loners in the world of ideas.
