COLLEGE STATION (AP) —
No one is cracking Aggie jokes about
the new $1.4 million facility the
Texas A&M University board of di
rectors has built for its meetings.
But there is plenty of grumbling
from students who hear tales of
opulence in the directors’ facility
while fighting less than ideal condi
tions in their dormitories.
“I live in a dorm built in the
1920's. The paint is peeling. There
are ants everywhere,” says Jamie
DeWitt, a freshman from Dallas. “If
I come in after my roommate is as
leep, I wake him up because every
thing squeaks. And they’re spend
ing money like this. ”
“Like this” takes in much of the
furnishings of the board of directors
annex, which is used for gatherings
of the nine gubernatorial appointees
who meet about six times a year.
There’s a $9,068 Cloisonne vase
dating back to 1740, a 19th Century
Chippendale dining table with a
$4,500 price tag and a 17th Century
eight-panel Japanese screen which
hides a rear view projection screen.
The facility also houses a $4,200
pair of Italian marble busts of
Roman senators, a $15,000 original
painting of “Miles of Bluebonnets
and several custom-designed rugs.
In the dining room, guests eat from
a $24,300 Pickard china service and
from a set of $42,615 sterling silver.
The settings are for 450, substan
tially more than the room will hold.
Most of the grumbling has come
from students, who have asked their
student senate to vote on whether
the Texas Legislature should be re
quested to look into the board’s ex
penditure. Some students have
criticized a lack of student voice in
the new $10.5 million student
center.
But trustee William Lewie Jr. of
Waco defends the directors’ facility
and the elaborate furnishings.
“In the old one a 1912 mansion,
we’d have to spend eight or nine
hours a day meeting because there
wasn’t enough room for all the ar
chitects, engineers and projection
screens we needed.
And Gen. A. R. Luedecke, vice
president for planning and con
struction at A&M, has taken student
complaints about the $470 hairy co
whide benches with brass feet and a
display of mounted animal heads in
the new student center, in stride.
“All I hear about is benches and
heads,” Luedecke said. “There is
always someone who doesn’t like
this bench or that couch. You have
to look at the whole thing. This stir
is unwarranted.”
Meanwhile, students are wonder
ing just what the directors facility —
which was built with money from
the permanent university fund — is
like.
Few of A&M’s 21,000 students
have seen the facility, because it is
kept locked and is opened only on
special request.
