| Observers from Washington vis
ited Texas A&M University last
Wednesday to gauge the progress of
studies in the Garland Urban Ob
servatory project.
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.
