Kent Caperton speaks
at vet school graduation
By BERNIE FETTE
Battalion Staff
State Senator Kent Caperton
told graduates of Texas A&M’s
College of Veterinary Medicine
Friday that they were members of
a constantly changing profession
and challenged them to continue
to learn even after their gradua-
Caperton, a former student
body president at Texas A&M,
the featured speaker at the
college’s 61st commencement
during which 138 new doctors of
veterinary medicine received di
plomas.
“Your education is not com
plete,” he said. “When you stop
educating yourself, you become a
liability instead of an asset.”
The Bryan Democrat compared
himself to the graduates saying
that both he and the new doctors
had given a considerable part of
their lives to a profession. “You
will probably learn more in two
years of practice than in the 20
years you have spent in school,”
Caperton said.
He said Texas A&M has gradu
ated 3,742 veterinarians since the
school’s beginning. “This program
is well known nationally and you
owe allegiance to it.”
James S. Moore, president of
the Association of Former Stu
dents, told the graduates they
would soon begin re-payment for
what they have learned and re
quested them to support the Asso
ciation of Former Students in the
future.
“You are the best educated,
best equipped class of veterina
rians to graduate up to this time, ”
Moore said. “You will be expected
to do more because you have
given more.”
Also speaking at the commence
ment, Dr. John B. Coleman, a
practicing physician and member
of the Texas A&M University Sys
tem Board of Regents, said his
profession and the veterinary pro
fession complement each other
since one often benefits the other.
Dr. Ben Johnston, president of
the Texas Veterinary Medical
Association, told the graduates
that they should view themselves
as great athletes who have been in
training for several years.
“Tonight you go into competi
tion,” he said.
“You are the new roots of our
profession,” Johnston said. “You
are our future. ”
New SPO carpet already
experiencing problems
By DENISE RICHTER
Battalion Staff
The face-lift that the Memorial
Student Center’s Student Prog
rams Office received has been
marred by a few wrinkles.
Beige, low-pile carpet was in
stalled in the office over the
weekend but when office furni
ture was moved across the carpet
Monday, some of the squares,
which had been tacked down with
adhesive, started to curl up.
James Randolph, associate dire
ctor of the MSC, said the carpet
was chosen because it could with-
1 high traffic and could be
easily cleaned. The carpet was in
stalled in iVz-foot squares and
each square was glued down so
when one begins to wear it can be
easily replaced, he said.
Two days after the job was com
plete, however, some of the
squares started to peel up around
the edges. Carpet Services, the
Houston company that laid the
carpet, had to be called back to
re-glue the squares.
Bill Hensel, manager of the
University Center complex, said:
“Since the Student Programs
Office is one of the University
Center’s tenant area, the money
for the carpet came out of the Uni
versity Center budget. The new
carpet will cost about $20,000 but
we still haven’t paid them (Carpet
Services) because we aren’t satis
fied with the job they did.
“Until we get the final bill and
everyone is satisfied with the job
they did, I’m not letting go of the
money,” Hensel said.
Randolph said the life expec
tancy of the carpet is about 10
years and that eight extra boxes of
carpet squares were ordered to be
