The high temperatures here lately indicate we may have skipped spring entirely and gone straight into summer. April showers and August sunburns — no place but Texas. iccusril hosp« ae.

Evans Lib rary this week - as a part of Na tional Library Week — an annual spring event since 1958. Libraries across the country, through the use of special prog rams, promote and generate in terest in libraries during the week. Michael Nyerges, committee chairman on library planning and programs at Texas A&M, says the initial intent of library week was to provide for a more literate and informed society. “This year we made an ef fort to invite speakers that have some name recognition,” Nyerges said. “The object behind the speakers is to promote interest and support for the libraries. “We’ve had very successful programs in the past, and we are hoping for another one this year,” he said. John Henry Faulk has made numerous speaking and televi sion appearances. CBS pre sented “Fear on Trial,” a drama tization of Faulk’s one-man bat tle with the blacklist. Despite his successful radio career, Faulk was dismissed from CBS in 1957 and was blacklisted, which en ded his radio career. Faulk is known for his Amer ican folk humor. He attended the University of Texas where he later taught. Most recently, Faulk ran against Rep. Phil Gramm in the February special Congressional election. Zindler, a Houston news com mentator, is best known for his controversial reports on con sumer fraud. In 1971, Zindler helped create a consumer fraud division while serving as a depu ty sheriff for Harris County. He headed the division for a year and gained national prominen ce for his controversial use of the news media in exposing con sumer fraud. His coverage of the Chicken Ranch in La Grange later appeared in a broadway play and movie — “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.” Faulk will speak at 2 p.m. Tuesday in 204C of the library^ and Zindler will speak at 2 p.m. Wednesday in the same room. Receptions will follow both speeches in 204B Evans Library. Other events scheduled for National Library Week include helium balloons to be given away today, video entertainment from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday and a booksale from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday. All activities will be in the library and are free to the public. Regents approve purchase f by Angel Stokes Battalion Staff The Texas A&M Board of Re gents approved a $2.4 million land purchase at a special meet ing Saturday. The two tracts of land, which total approximately 47 acres, are on University Drive and are adjacent to the College of Veter inary Medicine. The land is across from the site of the Uni versity’s planned industrial re search park. The two tracts are part of several pieces of land which the University has been attempting to obtain in the area. Joe C. Richardson, the board’s plan ning and building committee chairman, said University offi cials are hoping to eventually own all the land surrounding that area. There are no immediate plans for developing the land, but it will be available for future expansions of the Veterinary Medicine complex or the indust rial research park, Richardson said. The larger tract of land, a tot al of 40.63 acres, was purchased for $1.98 million, and the smal ler 6.164-acre tract was purch ased for $465,000. The land transaction will be completed April 30.
