TORRINGTON, Wyo. —
Sheriffs deputies are still trying to
figure out why a truck driver
brought his dog into a bar and
threw it at the bartender.
“Assault with a dog -— I think
that’s a first,” said Joe Heid,
Goshen County sheriffs deputy.
“It’s not out of the ordinary for
someone to bring a dog into the
bar. He just picked it up and threw
it at her — just like Happy Days.
“The guy was pretty well down
The dog, a 25-30 pound part

Texas Railroad Commissioner Jim
C. Langdon noted major Texas A&M
University research contributions
toward solving the energy crisis dur
ing a speech at the West Texas
Chamber of Commerce Convention
in Midland.
“For years Texas has pioneered
more new and successful drilling,
exploration, production, and secon-.
dary and tertiary recovery tech
niques than any other state or nation
in the world,” Langdon said.
“Beginning about 25 years ago,
the Texas Petroleum Research
Committee (which operates at
A&M) wrote the pioneering papers
showing the effect of increase in oil
recovery and the effects of fractures
on water flooding in secondary re
covery programs,’’ he said. “Apply
ing this technology, Texas oil
operators have produced in excess of
$ 10 billion worth of additional oil and
gas through fractured wells.’’
“Many of you are aware that
liquefied natural gas is being im
ported into the U.S. to provide sup
plemental energy needed in the
Northeast,” he said. “But, probably
few of you know that 18 years ago the
TPRC wrote what was perhaps the
first paper proposing the liquefac
tion of natural gas and its transport to
energy deprived areas.”
“Recently, research has led to new
TPRC-authored papers proposing
the injection of air at pressures to
achieve displacement of oil,”
Langdon added. “Keep in mind that

“In addition to the valueij

Greeks to hold Derby Wei
By MARK PENNY
Battalion Staff
Cow chip throwing, tug-of-war,
“butt branding” and musical ice
buckets are a few of the activities
nine Texas A&M University
sororities will be participating in this
week.
The events are part of Derby
Week, sponsored by the Sigma Chi
fraternity. Approximately 500 to 600
women will be participating in the
second-annual event, said Lloyd
Davis, a Sigma Chi member.
Besides the sororities, one inde
pendent team. Southern Comfort, is
participating. The group consists of
approximately 25 women from on
and off-campus.
The Derby Chase is to be held this
afternoon at 4 at Tanglewood Park in
Bryan.
Points will be earned by grabbing
derbies off the heads of Sigma Chi
members as they run within a re-
sticted area. The first four places in
all events receive points which will
determine the winner of Derby
Week.
The Sigma Chi banquet is to be
held tonight at the Ramada Inn. The
Derby Day Beauty Queen will be
judged at the banquet.
Davis said this contest is a sepa
rate event that is not included with
other Derby Week activities. No
points will be given.
Friday afternoon’s main event will
be the “Butt Branding.” The Sigma
Chi men will paint their Greek let
ters across the seat of the women’s
shorts.
The sorority with the largest at-
tendence percentage-wise will win
that event.
Throughout the week the teams
have been presenting skits for the
members of Sigma Chi. A panel of
judges rates them on performance,
creativity, originality, group inter
est, spirit and theme. This year’s
theme is the Old South.
The climax of the week, Derby
Day, will be held Saturday at noon in
Tanglewood Park. The public is in
vited.
Among the Derby Day events will
he the tug-of-war.
“It’s a good event,’ DavisJ
