Signs of spring?
staff photo by Irene Mees
jThis little bird, in a tree behind
Scoates hall, was assuring the
Texas A&M campus that spring
really is here, although some feel
otherwise as they lie roasting in the
sun. 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.

Zindler and Faulk speak
to promote library week
by Tracy Johnston
Battalion Reporter
Marvin Zindler and Texas
writer John Henry Faulk will
speak at Sterling C. 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.
The purchase was the only
item on the agenda, and no new
business was presented at Satur
day’s meeting. The next sche
duled meeting of the board is
May 22 through May 24.
