Kuzniarek, along with the staff of
the Texas A6cM College of Veteri-

Just an act of nature. ”
Dr. Dave Morris, assistent pro-
ssor of large animal surgery at the

Medicine, examined Freddy in
Time. “The double-faced calf was

Freddy was given a “reasonably
pretty good hill of health ”, by
Morris. “With a little extra care and
attention, his chances of living a
long life are one out of four. ”
Freddy’s only medical problem
that concerns Morris is that of the
two middle eyes that are not
entirely separated and intact. The
problem is termed exposure
keratitis.
“It means the superficial layers of
the cornea have been eroded or irri
tated due to the fact that the lids
cannot normally close to cover the
eyes and protect them well”, said
Morris.
Everything about Freddy’s physi
cal features appear normal, every
thing except his double-face.
“Freddy’s mother didn’t even reject
the calf’, Mrs. Janak said, “She
loved Freddy and kept him so pre
tty and clean giving him baths”.
As she coaxes little 325-pound
Freddy from his stall, she says, “Me
is a little muleheaded and only an
swers to a call when he feels like it”’
Freddy slowly lumbered out of
his stall. Janak added, “But you
would never believe that on cool
days Freddy jumps around like a
kangaroo.”

Aggie Club gives
over $1 million
By DIANE BLAKE
Battalion Reporter
The Texas A&M University Ath
letic Club received more than a
million dollars from members of the
Aggie Club this year.
Contributions from members,
some as far away as Italy, Nicaragua,
England and Saudi Arabia, total
about $1,460,000 this year.
The Aggie Club is a private,
non-profit organization formed in
1950 to support the athletic prog
ram. It is not affiliated with the As
sociation of Former Students, Texas
A&M’s alumni association.
Don Brister, executive vice pres
ident of the club, said the Aggie
Club has no control over the
money s management after the Ath
letic Club receives it. An official in
the athletic department said the
funds go into the general operating
fund for athletics.
“The Aggie athletic program re
ceives no state funds whatsoever,
not for coaches’ salaries, or players’
equipment, travel, or scholarships,”
Brister said. “All funding comes
from ticket sales, radio, television,
and bowl receipts from the South
west Conference, and contributions
from members of the Aggie Club. ”
Brister said this money also must
help finance the new football
stadium expansion. Construction is
scheduled to begin Nov. 26 and be j
finished before the 1979 football sea- |
son starts.
Marvin Tate, associate director of
the athletic department, said that
until last year, the Aggie Club’s con
tributions did not even pay for all
the athletic scholarships. But since
donations have increased, the Aggie
Club has expanded its charter to
contribute money for other athletic
expenses, he said.
In return for a minimum con
tribution of $25, an Aggie Club
member receives priority in football
season tickets and parking, a lapel
pin, monthly sports newsletters,
press guides and a window decal.

How you
can change
the worla
in 25 years
or less.
Let’s face it.
In 25 years or less, the world of energy as you
know it, will be entirely different.
So will we.
Today, we’re a leader in the petroleum industry.
And tomorrow, when your children are grown, we
hope to be meeting their energy needs as well.
WeVe committed 83 million dollars this year
alone to research and development programs that
read like science fiction.
We’re into earth sciences. Mining and milling
uranium. Solar research. Geothermal energy
development. Even new technology to produce
fuel from coal; and synthetic crude oil from tar
sands and oil shale.
And all the while, we’re still looking for ways to
squeeze every drop out of old oil fields. And
continuing the important search world-wide for
new ones.
If you’re also committed to changing the world,
to making your mark on the energy frontiers
ahead, we’d like to talk to you.
