This Program, administered through the Center for Urban Pro grams at A&M, involves cooperation between the City of Garland and A&M to solve problems facing the city. Dr. Earl Lindveit of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Developement (HUD) and Larry Williams of the National League of Cities went to Garland Thursday after consulting with A&M person nel involved in the program. The second on-site visit included a meeting of the project’s policy board. Members of the A&M board are Dr. Richard E. Thomas, as sociate dean. College of Engineer ing, and director, Center for Urban Programs; W. David Maxwell, dean. College of Liberal Arts; Raymond D. Reed, dean, College of Architecture and Environmental Design; and Ralph Hambrick, assis tant professor, Political Science. Also present at the meeting were Program Director Dale R. Burton from Garland; Dr. Roger Elliott, Industrial Engineering; and Dr. Charles Lamb, Marketing, who is University coordinator for the pro ject. Several faculty members in volved in research for the program also attended. “The Garland Urban Observatory project is part of a program de signed to encourage cooperation be tween cities and universities,” said Thomas. “It is based on the idea that the cities can benefit from the universities expertise in many areas and the universities can gain insight into city issues from such a relation ship.” Nine other projects of this sort were funded by HUD through the National League of Cities. It is a three-year program and is begin ning its third year. “The Garland Observatory is a particularly interesting one because it is the only project where the par ticipating university is not located within the city receiving the assis tance,” Lamb said.

Planned for 8 p.m. in the Rudder Theater, the presentation by Dr. Lilly is expected to deal mostly with his more recent studies of human activities as products of environ ment and the past. Dr. Lilly is a medical doctor with degrees from Cal Tech and the Uni versity of Pennsylvania. His background includes work in biophysics, neurophysiology, elec tronics and neuroanatomy. The qualified phychoanalyst has done extensive study and research in solitude, isolation and confine ment. This was followed by work with dolphins, providing evidence, he says, of life styles in other species which exceed the highest ethical and moral values of humans. They include, he indicates, compassion, cooperation, interdependence, non-violence and self-sacrifice. Classic movies added to English film library Film director D. W. Griffith’s classic “Birth of a Nation” (1915) has been purchased by the Texas A&M University English department for use in its cinema course and other classes. Dr. Harriette Andreadis, assis tant professor, received a minigrant to purchase the film and one of Grif fith’s shorter features, “Musketeers of Pig Alley,” made in 1912. The two films are the first in the new departmental film library. Dr. Andreadis teaches the first cinema course at A&M to study the development of both popular films and documentaries. Study is aug mented by once-a-week viewings of such films as “The Great Train Robbery,” Citizen Kane,” “Wild Strawberries,” “The Bicycle Thief’ and “Brewster McCloud.” In the past, each of the films has been rented for use in the class. “Birth of a Nation” depicts the South before and after the Civil War with emphasis on the rise of the Ku Klux Klan. “Musketeers of Pig Alley” is de scribed as one of the earliest gangs ter films and was partially shot in New York City’s Lower East Side. Keeping the films in the depart ment will help in tracing Griffith’s influences such as close-ups, iris ef fects and sophisticated intercuts in later American and foreign films. Other English classes will use the films to complement instruction. A new generation of College Rings..
