Cook to be honored tonight
By ELAINE ENGSTROM
Battalion Reporter
Dr. Earl J. Cook, former dean
of the College of Geosciences, will
receive the prestigious Geosci
ences and Earth Resources Medal
at commencement exercises
tonight.
Cook, now a distinguished pro
fessor of geography and geology at
Texas A&M University, will be
honored for his work in estab
lishing the college during hi&years
as dean from 1971 to 1981.
Texas A&M’s College of Geos
ciences differs from any other in
the country because its related de
partments — oceanography,
meteorology, geography, geology
and geophysics — all are included
in the same college, Cook said. As
dean. Cook established the De
partment of Geography.
The University of Chicago and
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology are similar, but they don’t
include geography in their col
leges, Cook said. However,the
University of Oklahoma has re
cently created a program based on
the one at the University.
“Having the people together in
one college stimulates research
and new ventures in teaching,”
Cook said. “It’s hard to start new
departments. Now, within our
college structure research can
grow into new departments.”
Past recipients of the annual
award include Michel T. Halbou-
ty, consulting petroleum en
gineer; Harold Haynes, chairman
of the board of Standard Oil of
California; and George Mitchell,
president of Mitchell Energy &
Development Corp.
Nominees for the award are
chosen for their substantive con
tributions to exploration, develop
ment or conservation of earth re
sources by leadership in industry,
administration or public under
standing.
Jr., of Midland; Joe Foster, execu
tive vice-president of Tenneco
Inc.; Robert Allen, chairman of
the board and chief executive
officer of Gulf Resources and Che
mical Corp.; and James Jackson
Jr., an Exxon Co. manager.
Cook, who holds the Harris
Chair of Geosciences, also worked
as a social scientist on the National
Research Council s team studying
the impact of the recent Austin
floods.
The recipient is chosen by the
medal committee of the Geosci
ences and Earth Resources Advis
ory Council, whose 16 members
include oilman Clayton Williams
Cook plans to write a book enti
tled “Introduction to Energy Sys
tems” as well as another one in
volving the social and political
aspects of energy.
Connally committee
still paying the piper
United Press International
LITTLE ROCK — Former
Texas Gov. John Connally’s 1980
presidential campaign committee
owes a local lodge $9,000 for a par
ty Connally threw for Arkansas
Republicans in January 1980, the
Federal Election Commission
says.
Connally’s committee spent a
total of $12.6 million in the 1980
campaign and still owes a total of
$1.5 million, the EEC says.
Darrell Glascock, director of
the company that owfls Indian
Rock Lodge at Fairfield Bay, Ark.,
said he has had little luck in his
attempts to collect the $9,000.
“He spent more than $10 mil
lion nationwide and got one dele
gate, and that delegate was the
result of what he did here,” Glas
cock said. “So we ought to get paid
first.
A spokeswoman for the Connal
ly campaign in Houston said the
Fairfield Bay debt couldn’t be
paid first because the FEC re
quires the committee to make the
same percentage payment to all
vendors.
She said a mass mailing is plan
ned next week to try to raise addi
tional funds.
