A bronze statuerf King Gill, the original Twelfth Man, is being given to the school the Class of ’80. The Twelfth Man story was set in Dallas on New Year’s 1922, as Texas A&M was playing the national champion Centrej lege in the Dixie Classic Football game. The Aggies, who were Southwest Conference champions that were winning the game despite numerous injuries in the first! Coach D.X. Bible feared he wouldn’t have enough men to] game so he called on Gill, a reserve who had left the football te after the regular season to play basketball. Although he neverplaji Gill was the only man left on the bench when the game ended.If A&M won 22-14. The Twelfth Man is still a part of Aggie spirit today. The statue; memory of Gill, who died two years ago, will be on the grass betui the Aggie Club building and gates 1 and 2 of Kyle Field. The artist, George “Pat” Foley of Houston, is building a wax model of the statue. When complete, the model willbesenl foundry to be east in bronze. The 9-foot statue will have either a granite or concrete base will have two plaques. One plaque will tell the story oftheTwe Man, and the other will display the Twelth Man song, written Mrs. Ford Munnerlyn. The Class of’80 Council decided on the gift and drew upaprt) sal, which was shown to Dr. John Koldus, vice-president for Stuli Services. A formal presentation was made to President Jarvis E ler, who approved the idea. The statue’s cost will be about $20,000. “We expect to ha funds for the statue before it is completed, which will most like sometime in the fall 79 semester,” said Paul Gulig, comnl chairman of the project. Gulig said that payment for the statue will be taken from earn! of various Class of’80 activities. These include the Boot DanceJ Dance, T-shirt sales, summer orientation dances, and Christmas sales. Gulig said one fund raising project for the statue being consida involves the sale of a limited edition of one-foot miniature bra replicas of the statue.

A handful of lawmakers is engaged in an uphill fight to retain the Renegotiation Board, which re views defense and aerospace con tracts and recovers money for the Treasury in cases where it deter mines there was price-gouging or excessive profits. But chances are slim. Thel critics, who apparently outa its defenders, say the board cates the work of other federal cies, adds red-tape expense fense contracts and winds upl more than it saves. Sen.
