Tlu* Kyle Field expansion project
nil start immediately after the foot-
lall season in November 1978. The
ilanned completion date is Sept.
30. 1979 said assistant manager of
ilities and planning, Harry Good
ie
Plans include 16,638 more seats
to form a third level on the east and
lest sides of the stadium, and an
itivity complex. This complex will
e extended from G. Rollie White
Coliseum to Kyle Field’s east stands
linking the two structures.
Dr. Carl Landiss, health and
physical education department
head, said expanding the women’s
dressing area and physical therapy
area in G. Rollie White and adding
offices for the Health and Physical
Education and Intramurals depart
ments are included in the project.
He also said the four-story addi
tion will house three large class
rooms, 14 racquetball courts, a lec
ture hall, a dance studio, research
and teaching laboratories and five
basketball courts.
The west side of the stadium will
also get a new dressing room and
press box.
Although the seating would be
completed by the 1979 football sea
son, the rest of the project w ill take
longer, Landiss said. There is no
specific deadline at this time for that
section.
Gooding said the most recent cost
estimate on the project for building
and funding is $20,828,400. The
construction will cost an estimated
$17,905,900.
Designers of the project al e the
Houston-based engineering firm of
Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam
Inc.
Contract for construction of the
project will be awarded at the Board
of Regents meeting this September.

Teachings stress all cultures
A new approach to multi-cultural
ducation is being taught at Texas
&M University, replacing tra-
itional Texas teaching methods
hich usually emphasized only
lack-Mexican American cultures.
Dr. Jesus Garcia contends tra-
itional black and Mexican Ameri-
n multi-culture teaching “some-
mes created more problems than it
Ived. ”
He claims some teachers pro
duced a separate minority in the
classrooms without knowing it.
“They were creating a minority out
of the other children, because the
Anglo-American children didn’t
think they had a culture. They felt
left out,” Garcia said.
He teaches a graduate course for
elementary school teachers, spon
sored by the Texas Center for the
Development of Human Resources.
Winter temperatures
ireak existing records
December, 1977, through Feb-
ary, 1978, took a prominent place
weather records here.
Reliable records are available
uck to 1914.
[state Climatologist John F. Grif-
Iths, Texas A&M University
ieterology professor, said the mean
temperature of 46.2 degrees
[ahrenheit, by which record com-
risons are made, established this
“the coldest winter we ve had in
e last 64 years. ”
The four coldest winters on rec-
d have all occurred in the last 16
ars. Last year was fourth coldest
Jth a 47.6 F mean. The winter of
2-63 was second and 1972-73 was
ird.
Many other areas of the state have
ko set new records this winter.
Irilfiths said records for the state as
whole and its divisions, in which
lere are climatological similarites,
|e not yet available. He guessed
at the Trans-Pecos division might
at variance with the rest of the
ate.
The local winter record resulted
nth January being the coldest on
cord, and February going down as
the second coldest. January had a
0.5 F mean, February 45 F. Com
bed mean for the two months this
ear was 43 F degrees, Griffiths
toted. The lowest February mean
the book was in 1929, at 44.2 F.
February, while failing to match
biliary as the coldest, contributed
i the record winter with the lowest
i’erage daily maximums, usually at-
lined in the afternoon. The average
aximum last month was 53.8 F.

Incorporating the idea that all
Americans have a culture, whether
they are ethnic or not, the program
has won praise from teachers and
acceptance across the state.
“Our whole notion was not to
segregate, but to integrate the vari
ous cultures,” said Garcia. “In this
course, we look at the cultural ex
perience and talk about Americans
as a people, from black and Irish to
Chicano and Russian. We re just
trying to show we re all unique. We
all share a common bond.”
One problem Garcia has been
fighting is the misconception that if
a school system uses multi-culture
in its teaching, it only creates prob
lems.
“Actually, the opposite is true,”
he said. “When a school utilizes the
multi-culture concept, it is a way of
reaching students that have been
turned off.”
“When we get them hooked on
the fact that they are special, and
have something they can be proud
of, we hit them with something else
— learning skills. It’s just the old
idea that if you’re going to teach
someone something, you have to get
their attention first, Garcia said.
Garcia also fights the image of the
classic ethnic stereotype. He is
quick to counter, however, saying
regardless of what America sees on
television, the country is not full of
Archie Bunkers.
“This course just suggests that
even though the American melting
pot still exists, some people have re
tained their culture. It also allows
people who are not aware of their
ethnic roots to examine them.
“We teach we can still keep our
identity, and still he proud were
Americans. We re just showing
another way' of reaching kids, he
added.
“We aren’t saying he s better than
she, or they’re better than them.
We re teaching that we re all people
and it’s time we learned to accept
that and live together.”
