The Aggies will still love Dave
Mason tomorrow. And for a long
time to come, judging by their de
lirium over his concert Friday even
ing.
Mason himself has reason to be
excited. Though the singer-guitarist
has been performing since the six
ties, his career hasn’t been de
cidedly successful until the past year
or so.
Now, with several hits on the
charts and steadily increasing album
sales, Mason seems finally to have
hit his musical stride.
Nothing could have been more
evident to the crowd at G. Rollie
White Coliseum.
Drawing mainly from his “Let It
Go Let It Flow and “Mariposa de
Oro albums. Mason kept up an
exhiliarating pace from start to a
standing ovation and double encore
finish.
The audience followed him untir
ingly from the early peaks of “We
Just Disagree” and "So High,” and
stood during the encore perfor
mances of “All Along the Watch-
tower” and “Share Your Love. ”
The night started as well as it end
ed. Exile, the group whose single,
“I Want To Kiss You All Over’ was
fifth on the charts last week, gave a
lively opening performance.
Exile has a varied style, which the
band calls “good time rock and roll. ”
Generally, their music resembled
the lyrics of Hall and Oates with a
stronger rock beat.
“1 Want To Kiss You All Over,”
which is not in that style, was writ
ten by Mike Chapman, the group’s
producer. Otherwise, the songs
were written by guitarist-vocalist J.
P. Pennington.
The audience was suspicious at
first of lead singer Jimmy Stokley’s
past shoulder-length hair and
stereotyped rock star gyrations
compared to the other band mem
bers’ well-groomed appearence and
subdued composure.
Notwithstanding the discrepancy
in appearence, the Kentuckian band
performed cohesively, due no doubt
to their 14 years together. The audi
ence quickly shrugged off appear-
ences and got into the music.
In turn, the band members’ per
formance became increasingly
robust.
“People make us feel good,” said
keyboard man Marlon Hargis. He
also attributed the group’s onstage
vitality to “plenty of milk and
Wheaties.”
College Station was the first stop
on a brief tour that will conclude
Oct. 7 at the Greek Theater in Los
Angeles. They will perform there
with Seals and Crofts, then go on
another short tour with Aerosmith.
The group had another reason' to
feel good here.
“We re indebted to Texas,” Pen
nington said. He explained that
Exile’s song became a hit because
Clay Gish, of KRBE radio in Hous
ton, pointed it out to the music in
dustry.
Exile also enjoyed their stay at
Texas A&M. “People are friendly.
We’ve been treated very, very
well,” Stokley said.

Texas has been especially hard-hit
by hydrilla, a weed that grows on
lake bottoms, reservoirs, and rivers,
a Texas A&M University plant
physiologist says.
Dr. Ron Newton says the plant
grows to the surface of many bodies
of water and forms thick mats. It in
terferes with nesting fish as well as
water sports.
First noted in Texas in the Hous
ton Zoo seven years ago, hydrilla
has infested parts of Lake Conroe,
Sheldon Reservoir, Lake
Livingston, Huntsville State Park,
Toledo Bend Reservoir, the San
Marcos River, the Guadalupe River,
and the Gulf Intracoastal Canal.
“This problem is so formidable
that it is going to take a substantial
research effort to control hydrilla,”
Newton said. “The problem won’t
be answered in a day or a month. It
will take years.”

Carp, crayfish, and waterfowl
feed on weeds like the hydrilla, and
the plant has been considered a pos
sible source of protein for humans.
The plant grows best in shallow.
warm water.
"I suppose one of the really limit
ing factors is light,” Newton said.
“Hydrilla will not grow well in
depths greater than 20 feet.”
All homes are not created equal.
Some are more energy-efficient,
and Texas mortgage loan officers
need to start taking that into account
come loan time, says a Texas A&M
University management professor.
Dr. Gerry Keim said the problem
is that many lending institutions
don’t consider differences in utility
costs from house to house. If two
houses are located on the same street
and have the same basic construc
tion design, they will probably be
appraised at about the same value.
“I would argue that appraising an
energy-efficient home and a regular
home at the same value is like say
ing that two pieces of adjoining
property are worth the same, even
though one has an oil well on it,” said
Kein. “You wouldn’t ignore the oil

struction features are paid to the
owner over time, as the oil well pavs

uring how much you are going to
be saving.”
Keim explained that in business
there are some fairly simple ways to
estimate the present value of sav
ings which will accrue in future
years.
He said you don’t have to pump
all the oil out to see how much it’s
worth and you don’t have to wait 10
years to estimate the energy savings
from a cost-effective house. Future
dollar savings are worth something
today.
