Council hears gripes
on power and pets
Funeral services for Dv. Samuel
Robert Wright, professor emeritus
of civil engineering at Texas A&M
University, were held Thursday in
Bryan.
Wright, 77, died Tuesday. A 1922
graduate of Texas A&M, Wright
served as professor and head of civil
engineering from 1946 to 1964. He
retired in 1966 and was designated
professor emeritus in 1967.
Wright was born Feb. 12, 1901,
in Weatherford. He joined the
Texas A&M faculty in 1923, leaving
in 1928 to serve eight years as a city
[engineer in Waco. He was super
visor of public utilities for Fort
Worth in 1936-37.

Kraemer said the receptionist
recognized her dog s description.
She said she then discovered
that her dog had been taken to
the city dump and shot.
Dr. Kraemer said the animal
was destroyed three hours before
the 72 hour limit had expired.
Police Chief Marvin Byrd said
the officer who destroyed the
dog probably counted the
number of days instead of hours
the animal had been in confine
ment.
Mrs. Ray said that her black
and white female puppy was
listed by the police as a brown
and white male. Because of the
mistaken description, she too
could not identify her dog and it
was destroyed.
Because of the incident, pet
owners can now go to the animal
hospital but are not allowed to
view the animals.
The councilmen said they
would look into a way to better
identify strays.
Architects’ role defined

Building costs have increased 150
percent since 1960, says Preston
Bolton, a Houston architect and past
director of the Texas Society of Ar
chitects, but it is up to the architec
tural profession to provide an aes
thetically pleasing and functional
environment for the benefit of all
citizens.
Bolton, son of the former Texas
A&M University president F. C.
Bolton, and a 1942 graduate of the
school, addressed faculty and stu
dents Tuesday as part of the Texas
A&M Great Issues lecture series.
“Architecture is the home of
man,” Bolton said. “And if architec
ture is separated from human social
experience, it loses its values, it
loses its ability to speak.”
Bolton said architects must main
tain a continuing collaboration be
tween the profession and citizens for
environmental quality. He said that
present or future resource con
straints need not diminish the qual
ity of life in Texas. Architects must
design for the future with a
thorough understanding of the var
iety of options for the citizens of
Texas.
He emphasized that too little
building construction input comes
from the ordinary citizen.

CAMERA COMMITTEE
invites you to view the
prints from Salon ’78.
They will be in the
MSC Gallery through
March 25.
“The individual citizen has very
little chance to contribute to the
process of interpreting what ‘quality
of life’ means to the individual citi
zen,” he said. “Both architects and
their clients would benefit from
knowing more about how people
feel about the buildings that shelter
all their daily activities.
Bolton said change is essential to
meet the needs of our diversified
world.
“I somehow do not have a feeling
that if one building is good, two
alike is twice as good. He said that
along with the public’s concern for
the quality of our current natural
environment—such as air, water
and noise pollution—we must also
consider space and the oceans as an
environment for people.
