World hunger
talks planned
by Larry Charles Couvillon
Battalion Reporter
Although there is more
food available today than
there was 25 years ago, more
people have died of hunger in
the past five years than have
been killed in wars, revolu
tions and murders in the past
150 years.
The Hunger Group, a non-
f jrofit organization estab-
ished in 1977, is dedicated to
ending world hunger. The
group, through grass-roots
efforts in communities
around the world, tries to
educate and motivate people
to help solve the world hunger
problem.
The group will present a
seminar at 2 p.m. Saturday in
701 Rudder to discuss the
problem of world hunger.
^ Growing more food has
been suggested as a common
answer to world hunger, but
often this is not economically
feasible.
Plant sciences professor
Richard Fredericksen says
farmers in this country are de
creasing their food produc
tion. The decreased supply
will lead to higher prices for
their products, he says, while a
surplus of farm products will
lead to lower prices.
Redistribution of available
food supplies also is a prob
lem. The group says it would
be “a logistical nightmare to
try to end hunger by redistri
buting food.” The group sug
gests a self-sufficiency prog
ram to teach hungry com
munities around the world
how to grow their own food.
But small farmers may have
trouble growing their own
crops, he says. The indepen
dent farmer who produces
small crops is often stricken
with seasonal malnutrition.
This occurs when the stored
food from a year’s crop runs
out before the next crop is
harvested, resulting in a loss
of food for the family.
Students’ creativity
displayed in projects
by Michelle Powe
Battalion Reporter
When professors George
Mann and Gordon Echols told
their Environmental Design 404
classes to use imagination on
their final projects this semester,
that’s exactly what the students
did.
The students presented their
projects Wednesday in the gal
lery of the Langford Architec
ture Center. The projects
ranged from plans to build a
school in Guatemala to abstract
paintings.
Most of the projects were
building plans. The students
worked with clients, usually
architects, who gave them re
quirements for the building they
wished to build or reconstruct.
The purpose of working with
real clients about real problems,
says Mann, was to give the stu
dents real-world experience.
Some of the students’ plans may
be used by the companies.
Three of the projects are

Plans for a school outside
Guatemala City were designed
by John Rogozinski and Guiller
mo Moreno. They are working
with an architect in Guatemala
who is a former Texas A&M stu
dent. Moreno, who is from
Guatemala, hopes to take the
project home this summer and
present it to the government for
consideration.
Plans to restore the original
Dr Pepper Bottling Co. in Waco
and convert it into a museum
were designed by Mark Strong
and James Winters. They are
working with representatives
from the DrTepper company in
Dallas.
Two students chose art in
stead of architetture for their
projects. Gilbert Flores pre
sented several abstract paintings
and drawings, and Rhonda
Evans designed an advertising
lay-out for horse magazines.
Mann says he and Echols
stress diversity because it makes
the projects more interesting
and enjoyable for the students
and the professors.
The classroom is run like an
office, he says. The stpdents reg
ularly critique projects. By
showing interest in projects
other than their own, he says,
students increase their know
ledge and better prepare them
selves for the real world.

MOSCOW — The Soyuz T-8
space capsule with three cosmo
nauts aboard returned safely to
Earth today after failing to link
up with the orbiting Salyut 7
space station, the news agency
Tass said.
Tass said docking was can
celed because the Soyuz spacec
raft was off course.
The official Soviet news agen
cy said the three-man crew of
the Soyuz T-8 launched
Wednesday had begun their
second working day in space,
correcting the orbit “in line with
a flight program to bring it clos
