$180,000 donated
to fund faculty chairs
The boards of the Texas A&M
University Development Founda
tion and the Association of Former
Students have approved annual
funding totaling $180,000 to support
six faculty chairs, effective in Sep
tember.
Establishment of the six chairs —
$30,000 each year — is a commit
ment to provide immediate funding
to help attain the University’s long-
range goal to raise $17 million for
chairs and named professorships,
said Richard “Buck” Weirus, execu
tive director of the Association of
Former Students.
The alumni organization, which
oversees and appoints trustees to
the foundation, will provide annual
funding until the chairs are perma
nently endowed by donors.
The foundation also approved
funding for five faculty development
leaves beginning in September.
In terms of importance to the
University, Texas A&M President
Jarvis Miller academic chairs pro
gram to the President’s Endowed
Scholarship program, which was de
signed to attract top students.
Dr. J. M. Prescott, vice president
for academic affairs, who helped to
formulate the endowment program,
said the chairs and professorships
offer the University a great faculty
advantage.
“The existence of a few positions
of prestige and recognition repre
sents a great advantage in recruiting
and retaining first-rate scholars,” he
said. “These positions — endowed
chairs and named professorships —
are awarded to members of our own
faculty or to persons we wish to at
tract, and the flexibility provided by
the endowments acts as a real attrac
tion.”
Foundation trustees were told
that assets now total $15.53 million.
Six years ago, the foundation had
less than $600,000.
Robert L. Walker, vice president
for development and executive sec
retary for the foundation, reported a
record $2.23 million was donated
during the fourth quarter of 1978,
including 11 President’s Endowed
Scholarships during December.
He also announced that an
endowment for professorships has
been established to honor Dr. Jack
K. Williams, former president and
chancellor of Texas A&M who re
signed in January. Anyone con
tributing to this endowment is in
vited to direct the gift to the founda
tion through the University’s de
velopment office.

NEW YORK — Under a federal
Energy Department program. Con
solidated Edison is buying a fleet of
battery powered cars in an attempt
to curb air pollution and reduce oil
consumption.
The giant utility said Wednesday
it will buy 40 of the vehicles, which
have a cruising speed of 50 mph, for
meter installers, field supervisors
and delivery men during the next
three years.
“Electric vehicles can play a key
role in preserving scarce resources
in an environmentally acceptable
manner,” said Con Ed Vice Presi
dent Bertram Schwartz.
The utility is one of five com
panies chosen by the federal De
partment of Energy to take part in a
three-year program designed to
show that electric cars can work.
The vehicles are made by Electric
Vehicles Associates of Cleveland
using the body of the American
Motors “Pacer” model.
