A series of meetings between
Texas A&M University and the Uni
versity of Texas are being planned to
discuss ways of combining programs
at the two institutions. University
president Dr. Jarvis Miller said at
jthe College of Liberal Arts faculty
neeting Tuesday.
This, Miller said, will help streng-
Ihen existing programs at Texas
\&M.
Texas A&M’s enrollment is level-
ngoff, he said, and with this comes a
Strategic turning point. “We are in
volved in a major search for ideas,”
Miller said. “We need a new sense of
purpose, a new set of goals. ”
Faculty input is needed to create
these ideas, he said.
Among new programs for fall 1980
will be a New Faculty Orientation
Program. This program, Miller said,
will consist of new instructors receiv
ing an orientation-like welcome to
the University — being shown
around campus and being familia
rized with the people and facilities
they will be working with.
Teaching programs will be a part
of this, also, Miller said.
These faculty development prog
rams have been instituted with funds
for government service, he said. Fa
culty members can work with gov
ernment services in their fields to
receive information that will be be
neficial to teaching.
Student counseling (academic) is
being expanded, Miller said. “I feel
the majority of attention has been
put on the student with problems,
and not enough has been paid to the
above-average student.”
After Miller’s speech, awards
were presented by the College of
Liberal Arts Student Council to last
year’s Outstanding Faculty Award
nominees.
These awards were given, Strom-
mer said, because the Liberal Arts
faculty members felt that these
nominees had done considerable
service to the students of, and to
Texas A&M, for which they de
served recognition.
Receiving these awards were:
Robert H. Baine, assistant regis
trar of Admissions and Records; Dr.
Warren Dixon, assistant professor of
political science; Dr. Jack K. Wil
liams, former chancellor of the Texas
A&M University System; and Dr.
Merrill D. Whitburn, former associ
ate professor of English at Texas
A&M.
The Phillips Petroleum Co. has
presented a $75,000 gift to the
Center for Education and Re
search in Free Enterprise at
Texas A&M University.
An additional $17,000 was
awarded for various programs in
the colleges of Engineering,
Geosciences and Business Admi
nistration, development officials
announced.
“This very substantial gift from
the Phillips company will provide
major assistance for continued
studies by the center in the field
of risk management and the effect
of governmental regulations on
the oil industry as well as help us
develop a significant educational
program for the public schools,”
said Dr. Eugene Uselton, center
director.
The gift will provide $25,000 a
year for three years to the center
with an option to extend for two
more years.

Another work of art will be added
:o the Texas A&M University collec-
ion Saturday with the unveiling of
he Robert J. Kleberg Jr. bust by
name.
The late Robert J. Kleberg headed
operation of the King Ranch for more
than a half century, during which
time he developed the Santa Gertru-
dis breed of beef cattle. He was also a
major influence on agriculture and a
proponent of wildlife conservation.
Biggs, also a rancher, has her stu
dio on the Waggoner Ranch in North
Texas. Her best known sculpture is
of Will Rogers on his horse, located
at the Will Rogers Coliseum in Fort
Worth. Busts created by her of Pres
idents Eisenhower and Truman,
Knute Rockne and other works are
on display around the nation and in
Europe.
In creating the Kleberg bust,
Biggs faced some problems. Because
she was not well acquainted with her
subject before his death, she said she
New products tested
at A&M wind tunnel
Storm-force winds lash at a house, inserting invisible fingers under
solar panels on its roof. Forces build on the panels, but just before they
rip away, the winds subside.
Then the house, one-seventh normal size, is rotated on a steel table
in the test section of Texas A&M University’s 7- by 10-foot wind tunnel
so the air flow can strike it from a different angle.
The study is one of many conducted at the facility, capable of
producing 200 mph winds. The wind tunnel, part of the Texas En
gineering Experiment Station, has been in operation since 1945.
Test products range from researching aerodynamics of aircraft mod
els to how much roll an offshore drilling rig can take in normal and high
velocity winds without capsizing. Tests are conducted by students in
the aerospace engineering department, faculty researchers and wind
tunnel staff.
Manager Joe Brusse said commercial tests for corporations, govern
ment agencies and foreign countries are carried out.
Wind loads on solar panels were measured for the U.S. Department
of Energy in a project supervised by Dr. David Norton and Dr.
Howard Chevalier. Data supplied helped determine the best way to
fasten panels to a roof.
One of the tunnel’s more famous projects was the space shuttle. The
research here was conducted in the early 1970s when the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration started the shuttle program.

by the King Ranch to produce his
likeness.
“Photographs are very often in

from different periods in his life,
showing different views and diffe
rent expressions. From these varied
likenesses, I have to create a unified,
believable and recognizable whole.”
