Kleberg was president and
general manager of the famous
King Ranch for more than 50
years. He is the primary person
responsible for the development
of the santa gertrudis breed of
beef cattle.
“Bob Kleberg personally
selected ‘Monkey,’ the founda
tion sire of the breed,” said O.D.
Butler, associate deputy chan
cellor for agriculture. “It was the
tradition at the King Ranch for
the management to select the
livestock.”
Besides being a top cattleman,
Kleberg was a horse breeder, a
conservationist, a business man
and a Texas A&M benefactor.
Since 1964, over $990,000 has
been contributed to the Univer
sity or the Texas Agricultural
Experiment Station via the
Robert J. Klebergjr. and Helen
C. Kleberg Foundation.

Author explains sci-fi, fantasy
by Carole Craft
Battalion Reporter
Humanoids that ride camel
sized cats, a glassy, blue stone
that holds power for good and
evil, battles fought with the
mind — these ideas fill the mind
and works of Vicki Ann
Heydron.
Heydron, the science fiction
author and enthusiast who was
the speaker Tuesday night at
MSC Cephied Variable’s “itty
bitty con iii,” read an exerpt
from her forthcoming book to
illustrate the dif ference between
science fiction and fantasy.
The book, “The Bronze of
Eddarta,” is the third in a series
of nine books. The heroes in the
story are three humaniods who
search for a sacred blue stone
which they want to use for the
good of their people. They have
the power of the mind gift,
which is the ability to create illu
sions. An evil ruler with the
same mind gift has control over
the stone, and therein lies the
conflict.
The exerpt was vivid and full
of mental pictures. As Heydron
read each line, the triumphs and
tragedies seemed believable.
“Science fiction attempts to
explain what is going on in the
story,” Fleydron said, “whereas
fantasy just hands it to you.”
The amount of explanation
given for what goes on in a story
is what determines if it is fantasy
or science fiction, she said.
Heydron said that science fic
tion authors must create their
alien settings from our culture
so that readers will be able to
comprehend them. She said the
parallels between the worlds
must be consistent, so that the
reader will be able to keep up
with the story.
Heydron said she has always
been a fan of science fiction and
began her writing career with
her husband. However, her hus
band was stricken with an illness
that caused him to lose his mem
ory, she said, which forced her
to continue the series alone.
“I have always enjoyed read
ing sci-fi and I hope that my
books can bring some of that en
joyment to others,” Heydron
said. She also said she would like
to try writing A screenplay for
one of her books. The first two
books in the series, “The Steel of
Raithskar” and “The Glass of
Dyskornis” have already been
published, with the third one
due to come out next April, she
said.
