“A fine arts program is the
kind of thing which would pro
vide an opportunity for
broadening and enriching one’s
education,” Eaton said.
And Eaton pointed out that the
University, already has some
arts-oriented activities.
“Over the past ten or so years,
extracurricular activities have
become important: OPAS, SCO-
NA, music, theater and dance
have become increasingly popu
lar, and I applaud the student
who sets enough time aside for
these activities. Many of the stu
dents cannot major in these
areas, but a lot of these ideas and
programs have originated with
the students.”
Eaton said he thinks Texas
A&M still has some barriers to
break through before it can be
come a world class university.
“Right now, I’m not sure
we’re doing the best thing for
the student,” he said.
“We’re wrestling with a diffe
rent matter,” he said. “Outside
accrediting boards set certain
curriculum standards, and stu
dents get very few electives. I
understand their (the accredit
ing boards’) objectives. They
want to turn out the best profes
sionals in each field, but some
times their objectives are diffe
rent from those of the Univer
sity.”
Eaton said the boards are nar
rowing the scope of education.
“They don’t really have any
responsibility as to how he (the
student) performs as a parent or
a citizen in a community,” he
said. “Their aim is principally to
ward professional training.”
Eaton listed various programs

“It duplicates the pollen, dirt
and organic material that have
accumualted on the building
over the years,” Donathen said.
The specific form of patina-
tion that they chose to use has
caused a minor uproar. They’re
going to spray the repaired por
tions of the exterior with cow
manure.
It’s not quite as simple as that,
however. The manure is first di
luted with water and allowed to
ferment. Then, after the solu

One problem caused by pre
vious alterations to the Acade
mic Building, Donathen said, is
the east-side access ramp for the
handicapped, which he called an
eyesore. However, Chartier
Newton & Associates, the
architecture firm hired to de
sign the project, provided a
satisfactory solution to that
problem, he said.
The current ramp will be re
placed with two ramps parallel
to the building and styled in a
manner compatible with the
whole. “We’re keeping the sym-

“Most cancer-causing subst
ances are natural, not man
made,” he said. “What we eat
and the amount of exposure to
the cancer-causing substances
are the major concern. It has be
come apparent there is some
kind of link between the two and
cancer.”
Ames, who won the $130,000
award for developing a quick,
inexpensive test to detect muta
tion and cancer-causing chemic
als, said the research may bring
results rather quickly in deter
mining what causes cells to begin
to mutate and replicate rapidly.
Cancer researchers previous

selves with concern about man

that slowed the flow of research
monies for cancer-diet research.

ALBUQUERQUE — Presi
dent Reagan Wednesday named
Catalina Villalpando, who re
cently served as voter groups
coordinator for the Texas Re
publican Party, as a special assis
tant responsible for handling
White House relations with His-
panics.
Villalpando, previously a
consultant to the federal volun
teer agency ACTION and a
member of the staff of the
Office of Presidential Person
nel, was a Reagan-Bush cam
paign volunteer in 1980 and has
been active in the Republican
Party and Hispanic affairs.
Her appointment fills a
vacancy created in a rash of fir
ings by presidential assistant
Faith Ryan Whittlesey when she
was tapped by Reagan to head
the White House Office of Pub
lic Liaison earlier this year. She
replaced Elizabeth Dole who be
came Secretary of Transporta
tion.
Reagan has made numerous
overtures to Hispanic voters in
recent months, conscious of the
important role they would pluy
in a possible re-election bid next
year. And he has sought to rebut
charges his administration had
been lax in recruiting women
and minorities for top jobs.
