Reynolds, speaking to more than 1,000 graduates from the colleges of Architecture and En vironmental Design, Engineer ing and Veterinary Medicine, said students should be able to read and listen with understand ing and to decide their position on key issues. He said students would be more valuable employees if they would adopt these attitudes. Reynolds told the graduates they should have become more sensitive and caring people while at Texas A&M University — if not, the University has failed them and they have failed the University. He said to be educated is to be knowledgeable and to appreciate humankind. Reynolds also said education should qualify students to deal not only with the past and pre sent, but also with the unex pected.

Dr. Charles H. Samson, University vice president for planning, accepted the gift on behalf of Texas A&M Univer sity. The facility is being con structed in three phases, David Moyer, class treasurer, said. The first phase, which is still under construction, in cludes 16 concrete-based tables, 16 barbecue grills and six benches, he said. The second phase will in clude a water sprinkler sys tem, additional lighting and flowering shrubs. “We hope to have the second phase completed this summer in time for the fall,” Moyer said. The third phase is the con struction of a 32-foot- diameter pavillion in the cen ter of the park, he said. Most of the money for the pavillion will come from room and property deposits that graduating seniors donated for the gift, he said. The cost of the first two phases is estimated at $32,000 and the estimated cost of the pavillion is $16,000. Moyer said funds for the gift were raised over the past four years through class dances and T-shirt sales. “The majority has been raised this year through the Howdy Dance, Welcome Back Dance and Ring Dance,” he said.
