Newell wrote the book in hree months, following a year’s res idence in Texas. “Newell had come to Texas in 1837 to improve his health,” Dyal reported. “He de cided to defray some of his expenses by relating the recent events of the Texas revolution. Since that time, the work has grown scarce.” It sold for 50 cents on publication. Newell reportedly bought a number of copies with the intent of selling them for $1 each in Baltimore. The Flowers copy contains a ded ication page to “The Hon. W.C. Preston, South Carolina.” It is not found in some copies. Newell gained access to War Department documents in researching the con tents, and interviewed Gen. Sam Houston, M.B. Lamar and others. The title page indicates the Newell history centers “Particularly on the War of 1835 and ’36. . .

The quake measured 6.6 on the pen-ended Richter Scale and truck at 7:42 p.m. Colombia time, according to the U.S. Geological Survey in Washington and Hong (Cong s Royal Observatory. Both agencies put the quake’s epicenter in the Pacific about 150 miles off Colombia’s northern coast, n area known to geologists as the Ring of Fire” because of its fre quent earthquake and volcanic ac tivity. Bogota’s Andean Institute of Geophysics said the quake mea sured 4.5 on the Mercalli Scale which ranges from 1 to 12. It esti mated the epicenter was near An- ioquia province’s western border with Choco province. The temblor slammed through a stretch of northwestern Colombia parallel to the Andes Mountain range and was felt as far away as Bogota, where hundreds of the ci ty’s 5 million residents fled from high-rise buildings. w ''Your Complete Florist" Petal Patch / If Ml I ittl T\ yh ***■*%**(% *Corsages •Mums •House Plants •Flowers for all occasions Conveniently located across from campus 707 Texas Phase 11 846-6713( university and symbolizes the things that are great about A&M.” We face major challenges as we start our new careers together,” he observed in pledging to do every thing possible to insure “an environment in which you can be most productive.” Emphasis on students also was stressed by Dr. J.M. Prescott, who assumes duties as vice president for academic affairs, and Dr. Haskell Monroe, dean of faculties, who as sumes additional duties as associate vice president for academic affairs. “We are here to assist students,” Dr. Prescott said, “and I urge you to be the type of individual who is ap proachable by them.” Dean Monroe, serving as master of ceremonies for the program, said that Texas A&M is the right place for faculty members interested in the welfare of students. “If you believe in the innate goodness of young people, if you love them enough to say no’ as well as ‘yes,’ if you believe they are the best hope for the future of this state and nation, then you are at the right place, and we hope that you will unpack and stay a long time,” he said. Jennings indicted United Press International NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Coun try music star Waylon Jennings was bound over to a federal grand jury yesterday on a charge of conspiracy to possess and dis tribute cocaine. U.S. Magistrate Kent San- didge ruled there was probable cause to bind both Jennings and his business manager, Mark Rothbaum, over to the panel. He dismissed charges against Lori Evans, Jennings’ personal secre tary. The lanky bearded Jennings was arrested with Miss Evans at a recording studio Aug. 23 after she allegedly picked up a pack age containing cocaine at Nashville Metropolitan Airport and brought it to the studio. Officers for the federal Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) al legedly intercepted the package in New York and took 22 grams of cocaine from it, leaving one gram in the package to be del- 1 ivered to Jennings, agents said. Rothbaum, of Danbury, Conn., surrendered Friday at the U.S. Attorney’s office in New Haven, Conn., and was charged with conspiracy to distribute and possess cocaine. DEA agents alleged that Rothbaum brought the package to World Courier Service Inc. at New York to have it sent to Jen nings in Nashville. A courier service employe opened the package, found the cocaine, arid called the DEA, agents said. Two can ride cheaper ran than one. feSt!

Colombia’s last tremor was March 22, 1977, and measured 5 in the Mercalli Scale. It caused no damage or injuries.

They’re proven performers. In space. On Everest. In the labs of Nobel laureates. Since we built the first, back in 1972, our advanced calculators have been tested by mil lions worldwide, and they’ve passed. v ^ ' • f '' " ' ^They have staying power. Todays classroom prob lems quickly grow into tomorrows on-the-job problems. HP calculators are designed and built to handle both. They’re investments in a future that happens fast. They’re straightforward. “Advanced” doesn’t mean “complicated’.’ It means “uncomplicated!’ HP calculators are, above all, straightforward. They’re easy to use. HP calculators not only grow with you; they grow on you. They feel natural, comfortable, because we designed them to work like you think. They’re efficient. HP calculators take the direct approach. All feature RPN, a time-saving, parenthesis-free logic system. All programmables feature a memory-saving keycode merging capability. They’re personal. Professionals design their own ways to solve their particular problems, and they expect their calculators to be versatile enough to accommodate them. Ours are. There’s a variety. To say we offer a full line is an understatement. We offer a choice. That’s why we publish a unique “Selection Guide” that spells out the capabilities of each. Your HP dealer has your free copy.
