Construction on the barn be gan around the first of January, Ray said. The barn is located on FM 2818 one mile north of FM 60. The Abercrombie family, owners of Houston’s Pin Oak Stables, donated the barn to the Cavalry last year in order to make way for an office building that was under construction, he said. Cavalry members went to Houston to tear the barn down. Ray said, and as a service pro ject, the local National Guard drove down to haul the pieces back to College Station. Billy Bryant of Beaumont made an $8,000 donation to the project, Ray said. The total cost of constructing the barn is $8,600, he said. The Cavalry members have done most of the labor on the stables, Ray said, and the struc ture itself is complete, lacking only electrical work. The electrical layout for the stables was designed by Bill McCune, an agricultural en gineering professor, Ray said. Wilfred Truax of San Anto nio is donating all of the electric al materials for the hook-up, Ray said. Since the barn is on Texas A&M property, it will be po wered by the University physical plant. heory says individualism ased on belief structures United Press International DENTON — Two Texas re- earchers believe the basic dif- srences between people are not (kin color, age or sex, but values. “This is the first psychologic- theory that attempts to cle- (cribe the psychological state of |very person in the world,” for mer North Texas State Univer- |ity government professor Don ieck says. “It strips away skin tolor, sex, age and says that the itasic differences between peo ple are value system differences. “These are belief structures, jiot value content. I’m talking tbout. The concept doesn’t de- tcribe what people value, but low, so that Maclalyn Murray T’Hair, the Austin atheist, has the same very absolutist belief structure as the Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran. Only the con tent is dif ferent.” Beck and his colleague, Dud ley Lynch, believe there are seven basic value systems, stretching from the reactive sys tem seen in newborn infants to the existential system displayed by people who drop out of socie ty to pursue individualistic in terests and alternative lifestyles. “Each of these mindsets has a brain program,” Beck said. “Some see the world as a jungle, others as a giant stock market. Different mindsets tend to see different things in the environ ment.” Holding up a poster advertis ing a meditation clinic, he ex plained that the sign would mean one thing to a person on level seven where the concern in personalistic and self-discovery is highlighted and something entirely dif ferent to a person on level four (the absolutistic mindset). “All people filter the world in certain given ways,” said Lynch, a psychological consultant who heads Brain Technologies Corp. The researchers said the fas cinating thing about the value systems model is that it can be applied to individuals, groups and even entire nations. For instance, they placed President Reagan’s value system somewhere between levels four and five. “He often talks at the fourth level (absolutist), but he often acts pragmatically (at the achievistic level five),” Beck said. “In the case of the air traffic con trollers, however, he acted abso lutely and I think the result w as a major catastrophe. It will take years to rebuild the system.” The researchers, who worked as consultants for the air traffic control system, had forecast se rious value system conflicts years before the strike. Beck and Lynch, who often act as management consultants, said many on-the-job conflicts are the result of value system differences. o TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED Corporate Facilities Group ANNOUNCES Openings For Graduating Engineers CORPORATE FACILITIES PROVIDES THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH Tl PRODUCTS ARE CREATED, MADE AND MAR KETED.

With 99 percent of the vote counted in unofficial returns, Morial stretched an early wafer- thin lead to a solid win with 53 percent of the vote — 97,365 votes to 86,020 for Faucheux. “It is a victory for our city,” Morial said in a victory speech to thousands of supporters chant ing “Go Dutch Go” at a down town hotel. “I congratulate Mr. Faucheux. for the manner in which they conducted this cam paign. The nation and the world watch our city today, and I’m intensly and deeply proud in the manner in which we responded to the world and to the nation.” When the results of the mayoral voting became clear, Faucheux faced his somber sup porters with a concession that praised his opponent for run ning a clean campaign and pledged his continued work for the city in the Legislature. “It’s a credit to him and a cre dit to his organization that they were able to do it the way they did,” he said. “We’re going to be with you for the next four years for the good of the city.” Faucheux, 31, had blasted Morial in the campaign for the incumbent’s inability to deal with the Legislature and allow ing the police department to fall into despair. Despite Faucheux’s roots in the white suburbs bor dering Lake Pontchartrain and his tough law-and-order record in the Legislature, race failed to become a major issue. Although New Orleans had a majority black population, more whites than blacks tered to vote. were regis- Morial, 52, the first black to serve as a Louisiana judge and legislator since Reconstruction, needed to win about 15 percent of the white vote to win. Lured by the paper-thin mar gin separating the candidates and by summer-like weather, voters turned out heavily in all sections of the city. Voters in Faucheux’s east New Orleans suburban strongholds waited more than two hours in some cases to cast ballots. Heavy black turnout also was reported, with lines in the racially mixed up town section also long. Morial made history in 1977 by defeating Joseph V. DiRosa to become the first black mayor of New Orleans. In the re- election effort, Morial said he sensed victory early election day -— even if a narrow one. “We’ve got a beautiful day,” said Morial. “We’ll see a large voter turnout, and we think that’s good.” AGGIES!
