luing it with a special adhesive
nd then overlaying it with
?phalt. The procedure will de-
iy and possibly prevent crack-
ig at the joints.
Wellington, of Fort Worth, is
currently enrolled in an instruc
tional drafting course offered by
the engineering graphics de
partment at the University.
Wiatt said plainclothes police
staked out the parking lot be
cause of several complaints by
students that their cars are been
tampered with and three vehicle
burglaries last week in which car
stereos were stolen.
“We felt that we had to put a
stop to the crime before it
spreads,” Wiatt said
Wednesday.
He said a $600 stereo believed
to have been stolen from a car in
the same parking lot Sunday
night was recovered from Wel
lington.
“Wellington was watched for
about one hour before he was
arrested,” Wiatt said. “He

The method has been tested
and used in northern states, but
never in Texas.
“This fabric is the best we’ve
ever tested, even better than Pet-
ro Mat (a similar product distri
buted by Phillips Petroleum),”
Lytton said. “It was the only fab
ric that would work up north
where the weather is even more
severe than here.”
The method was chosen for
use on South College Avenue
because it is a street prone to
reflection cracking — separa
tion at the joints and cracking of
the asphalt overlay.
The fiberglass strip will hold
the joints together and reduce
deterioration due to water.
Repairs on South College
Avenue will serve as a demon
stration for other engineers.
Movie shows Corps life
for incoming freshmen
by Jill Slay man
Battalion Reporter
“Something Extra,” a film ab
out the Corps of Cadets, offers
interested people the chance to
see what life in the Corps is
really like.
“Something Extra,” is shown
twice a week at the Texas A&M
student conferences, Corps
Commandant, Col. Donald L.
Burton says.
With the movie, Burton says
he hopes to show future Aggies
what the Corps has to offer, and
what is expected of members of
the Corps.
“I think it gets a lot of ques
tions answered,” Burton says of
the film, “I think it gets a lot of
parents’ questions answered
too.”
Many of the questions asked
deal with the organization of the
Corps and the average day of a
cadet, says Assistant Comman
dant, Lt. Col. Donald J. John
son. Many people also ask what
belonging to the organization
can do for the student, Johnson
says.
Burton says that high school
students seem to be showing
more interest in the Corps lately.
Corps enrollment Texas
A&M is up, as well as nationwide
ROTC enrollment. This seems
to be because of a change in high
school graduates, he says.
Burton says the high school
graduate is looking for options
for his future. While in the
Corps, a cadet can choose to
earn a commission, or remain
non-commissioned and pursue
a non-military career.
In the Corps, Burton says,
“You get out what you put in.”
“Something Extra” was cre
ated by Col. James R. Woodall,
former commandant of the
Corps. It was filmed during
1981-82, with the final editing
done by Col. Burton and Lt. Col.
Johnson. The film was com
pleted in time for the first sum
mer conference.
Riverboat travels overland
to become floating club
United Press International
ROCKWALL — The 65-ton
riverboat Brazos Queen, which
for years ferried tourists and di
ners around Lake Brazos,
looked out of place loaded
aboard an 80-wheel trailer on a
state highway.
The riverboat, however, is
now a “lakeboat” and will be re
named the Texas Queen. No
longer will it ply the waters near
Waco. Its new home will be Lake
Ray Hubbard.
The 105-foot boat was purch
ased for $500,000 by several
Dallas businessmen who plan to
turn it into a floating supper
club.
The 65-ton ship, with twin
diesel engines and its huge pad-
dlewheels, made perhaps the
strangest trip in the history of
the Texas highway department.
It is without a doubt the only
stern-wheeled riverboat ever to
navigate overland from Waco to
Corsicana to Kaufman to Rock
wall with a police escort and a
contingent of amazed viewers.

Wellington, now living in

a felony crime punishable by a
2-to-10 year prison term.

Owens Corning Corp. wanted a
place to demonstrate the pro
duct, so it gave the city of Bryan
an $80,000 discount on the price
of the materials.
“Owens Corning would not
have done that for just anyone,”
Lytton said. “They were so im
pressed with Bryan operations
manager Ed Ilshner, that they
were willing to go down on the
price to have him do the job.”
