The MSC Aggie Cinema Com
mittee plans to put its on-loan 16-
millimeter film equipment into
action this week — if film arrives.
If tests are successful, the club
will begin producing one-minute
spots to advertise Aggie Cinema.
Later plans include producing 15-
minute short movies.
“We are waiting for the East
man Kodak Co. in Dallas to
approve our credit so that we can
receive our film, said David
Musey, Aggie Cinema program
adviser.
He said the paperwork was
“holding up the credit voucher”
longer than the club had antici
pated.
The secondhand film equip
ment, on loan from the Texas
A&M University media center,
will be tested when the film ar
rives, he said.
“Almost everything has been
checked except the cameras,”
Musey said, “and we need the film
to test them properly.”
Tom Jordan, faculty adviser for
Aggie Cinema, said after the
equipment and film problems are
cleared up, production of the one-
minute spots and 15-minute short
movies will begin.
“But the film-delay problem is
forcing us to postpone our produc
tion schedule,” he said.
He said, however, that three
Aggie Cinema film technicians are
still “in the midst of training in
terested volunteers to use and run
the equipment.”
Jordan said that Aggie Cinema
plans to make 15-minute “short
movies” in the future if the one-
minute spots are successful.
The Aggie Cinema productions
will be run before regular movie
features in theaters at Texas
A&M, Jordan said.
“We want to generate interest
in film making, ” he said. “We re in
it (filmmaking) for the artistic
fun.”

Texas A&M University has not
yet caught up with the population
boom of the 1970s and suffers from
“the greatest shortage of educa
tional space of all the major uni
versities in Texas,” says a Univer
sity administrator.
Charles McCandless, associate
vice president for academic
affairs, said that the reason for the
space shortage is obvious. “We are
growing faster than we can build
space,” he said. “And when you
have a greater need for space than
you can meet, then you have to
establish priorities to try to meet
the greatest needs first.
“That is why the Texas A&M
University System has a Master
Planning Committee to help the
University determine its priorities
for new buildings.”
The University’s growth has led
to a shortage of available dormi
tory space and other shortages,
said Ed Peel, director of facilities,
planning and construction for the
Texas A&M System.
Texas A&M has many construc
tion projects under way, including
two new women’s dormitories
totalling $7.5 million. These mod
ular dormitories, one located west
of the Keathley-Fowler-Hughes
complex and the other south of
Aston Hall, are slated for occupan
cy in the fall semester.
Because women have had diffi
culty getting on-campus living
space in recent years. Peel said the
dorms are necessary. “We just
can’t seem to build enough dormi
tories,” Peel said, noting that until
a few years ago, dorm popularity
was low.
“I guess the economy 'and the
gas prices might be driving stu
dents back to the dorms. Or it
could be a new trend,” he said.
Other Texas A&M building in
cludes an three-phase Easterwood
Airport Expansion Program.
Already started, the first phase
includes new lighting for the taxi
way and a concrete parking apron
for plane storage. The Federal
Aviation Administration is fund
ing most of the $434,000 expan
sion. The project’s two other
phases include renovating the
taxiway and lengthening the run
way. More FAA money will be
needed for these phases.
Another project is the Acade
mic and Agency Building, to be
completed March 26, at a cost of
$11.85 million. This building will
house the College of Business and
the English department, among
others.
Included in the 174,790 square
feet of usable area in the building
will be 41 classrooms, seating from
30 to 80 students, and three lec
ture rooms seating from 120 to 244
people. Construction of the build
ing has taken nearly two years.
Other projects include a clinical
sciences building next to the
Veterinary Medicine Complex. It
will be an animal hospital as well as
a teaching facility. Completion is
slated for April at a cost of about
$9.1 million.
A practice field and parking lot
are being constructed on the west
side of Kyle Field. The parking lot
is finished, while the practice field
should be ready this summer. The
lot and field cost is about
$725,000.
Other current projects include:
— A $14.8 million medical scien
ces building to be located across
from the Veterinary Medical
Complex. This should be finished
in the fall of 1982. It will house the
College of Medicine.
— A $2.15 million addition of
heating and chilling equipment,
including a new cooling tower to
be added to the utilities plant.
— A $1 million addition to Park
ing Annex 50 on the east side of
Zachry Engineering Center, sche
duled for completion June 1.
— A $450,000 campus sanitary
sewer project that will expand the
utility capacity on campus. This is
needed to pick up the extra load
that will be brought on by the new
dorms. Peel said. Completion is
scheduled for June 1.
— Construction next to Zachry on
a new engineering research build
ing that is just getting started.
Future projects that are in the
planning stage right now include
the followjng:
— A Meat Science and Technolo
gy Center that would be built west
of the Kleberg Center. This new
facility would be used for Univer
sity teaching, research and exten
sion programs.
— An expansion of the sewage
treatment plant.
— A Horticulture and Forest Sci
ence Building to be built west of
the Soil and Crop Sciences
building.
— A new Animal Science Pavi
lion, to replace the old pavilion
which is being converted into a
student center.
— A Cyclotron expansion to give
it greater capability.
—A Food Service warehouse that
would be built north of the Uni
versity motor pool.
—A University Press Building, to
be built in the northeast comer of
Duncan Intramural Field. The
University Press was located in
the old Board of Directors’ home,
until it burned in 1978.
Charlie Daniels dips
into A&M tonight
The “Full Moon” will be out tonight, and Aggies will probably see
“Million Mile Reflections” and maybe even a “Night Rider” or a
“Saddle Tramp” when the Charlie Daniels Band performs in G. Rollie
White Coliseum at 8 p.m.
Since its birth in 1971, the CDB has become one of the leaders of the
renaissance of Southern pop bands in the nation.
Their music style ranges from rock/boogie to jazz to foot-stompin’
country. The group has a reputation as an exciting live act, with
sold-out audiences ranging from children to senior citizens.
MSC Town Hall will sponsor the concert. Tickets for the perform
ance are on sale at the MSC Box Office for $6, $7 and $7.50.
