rare book of Texana, Rev. Chester

A probable first edition and pub-
Ished in 1838, it was presented by

“We seek to be more respon

President Miller urged the new

Don Dyal, head of special collec-
|ons in the Texas A&M University
libraries, s'aid the work is a wel-
une addition to the library re-
Newell s Revolution be-
mes part of the 3,000-piece Tex-
acollection, which includes other
irities.
The volume is valued at at least
50 on rare book lists and is in ex-
illent condition, said Evelyn King,
isistant director of special collec-
lons. Published in New York by
iley and Putnam, it is listed in
omas Streeter’s “Bibliography of
xas.
Rev. 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. . . To
gether with the latest geographical,
topographical and statistical ac
counts of the country from the most
authentic sources.”

BOGOTA, Colombia — A severe
arthquake that jolted northwestern
iolombia Tuesday night killed at
ast three persons and sent hun-
reds fleeing from high-rise huild-
gs in Bogota, initial reports from
ae region said.
“Surely there are many
ounded,’’ said a police spokesman
[n the small town of Apartado, 380
liles northwest of Bogota.
He said 14 persons had been in-
red, some seriously, and three
filed when buildings occupied by
eral bars and an ice cream store
lollapsed.
The spokesman said workers
ere busy digging through the col
apsed buildings for other victims,
ne Apartado businessman reached
y telephone said “several ambu
lances are traveling back and forth”
om the damaged buidlings.
In Chigorodo, another town in
[the northwestern region, three
ther persons were injured, includ
ing two teenage girls. Authorities
laid reports from the more isolated
owns and villages of the region had
ot been received.
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.

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.

Why tomorrow’s professionals
choose Hewlett-Packard’s first family
of advanced calculators today.
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.
