Collect books?
enter contest
by Angel Stokes
Battalion Reporter
If you have a book collec
tion you’re particularly proud
of, the Tenth Annual Student
Book Collectors’ Contest may
be the place to display it.
The contest, sponsored by
the Friends of the Texas A&M
University Library, is open to
all currently enrolled Texas
A&M students. Collections
must be submitted by Oct. 8 at
5 p.m.
Awards of $100 will be
given to 11 different entrants,
including special awards for
an outstanding collection of
children’s or young adult li
terature, a collection of West
ern Americana and a collec
tion submitted by a mechanic
al engineering student. Two
$25 honorable mention
awards will be given.
Entrants must choose 25
books from their collection to
enter in the competition. Each
contestant is required to sub
mit a short statement describ
ing the collection and an
annotated bibliography of the
25 works entered. A contes
tant may enter more than one
collection and previous win
ners may enter a different col
lection, but a student can win
only one award.
Entry forms, bibliographies
and statements must be sub
mitted in person to a member
of the Committee on Library
Planning and Programs.
Members are Myrtis Cochran,
chairperson, Bobbie Collins
and Darlas Palmer in Refer
ence, Donald Dyal in Special
Collections, Judy Rieke in
Maps and Toni Snee in Cata
loging.
The judges are Dr. Hugh
C. Wilson from the biology
department, Dorothy Van
Riper from the English de-
E artment and Clara Mounce,
ead of the Bryan Library.
After a preliminary selec
tion based on the bibliog
raphies and statements, final
judging will be based on how
well the books in a collection
represent a field of interest
defined by the contestant.
Winning collections will be
displayed at the library for
two weeks following the
award ceremony.
Interested students can
pick up an entry form at the
service desk in the Sterling C.
Evans Library.

vision of the University Honors
Program, is currently funded by
research grants and mini-grants
available to faculty advisers.
Pace said.
“We are trying to get alumni
support for research costs,
however, which is approximate
ly several hundred dollars per
student,” Pace said^
Pace said students interested
in applying should submit an en
dorsed proposal, stating the
guidelines of of their topic, to
the University Honors Program
Committee in the spring of their
junior year. Copies of past prop

their classes in an attempt to
help numbers grow,” Pace said.

Part of Highway 6 to be widened
by Alison Cope
Battalion Reporter
The Federal Highway Admi
nistration has approved plans to
make a 16-mile section of State
Highway 6 from College Station
to Navasota a four-lane ex
pressway.
But don’t look for construc
tion signs for at least 18 months.
Bill G. Bockman of the State
Department of Highways and
Public Transportation said it will
take that long for the City of Col
lege Station and Brazos County
to appraise and purchase the
right-of-way needed to expand
the existing highway.
Only after the right-of-way is
purchased can the construction
plans be drawn up and bids for
contracting be taken. Once con
struction begins, it should take
two years to complete and that
will only be the northern section
from College Station to Peach
Creek.
The appraisal and acquisition
of land in the southern section
from Peach Creek to the Nava
sota River will be started after
the construction on the north
ern section has begun.
When the total project is com
pleted, Highway 6 from the in
terchange of Texas Avenue and
Highway 6 in College Station to
the Navasota River will have
been upgraded.
Estimated cost of the project
is $28.5 million, Bockmon said.
“Highway 6 will be widened
by approximately 250 feet,”
Bockmon said. “On the express
way section, the Highway De
partment will build a concrete
barrier median, four 12-foot
lanes for travel, two 10-foot
shoulders and a two way fron
tage road on each side of the
expressway.”
Bockmon also said the High
way Department will be acquir
ing land to expand interchanges
at Rock Prairie, Peach Creek
and Green Prairie and for a fu
ture interchange at EM 159.
