Flame construction started!
Pam Barnes
Battalion Reporter
Construction on the Class of
’83’s gift to Texas A&M — an
eternal flame atop a fountain —
began last Wednesday.
The flame will be dedicated
at the first football game in the
fall, Class of ’83 adviser Charlie
Walter said.
The continuously burning
flame — symbolizing Aggies’
undying spirit for A&M — is
being constructed in north Kyle
Field near the Reveille grave-
sites.
The 12 point cement base,
symbolizing the Twelfth Man)
has been poured. Gas, water and
electric lines will be put in next.
Once the cement has set, the
frame for the black granite pyra
mid will be built, Walter said.
On the top of the granite
pyramid will rest a brass bowl
containing the flame. An elec
tronic ignition system will be
used to keep the gas flame lit at
all times.
The flame will be used to light
ceremonial candles for Musters
and to light torches for midnight
yell practice and Bonfire.
At the base of the monument
will be a plaque stating its pur
pose, symbolism and dedication
to the class, Walter said.
The four-point fountain will
be lined with maroon tile. The
granite pyramid is expected to
be here by the end of this week.

Scientists: Earth
becoming rounder
United Press International
AUSTIN — Like a rubber ball
that has been squeezed, the
shape of Earth is slowly becom
ing rounder as more of the
planet’s mass moves toward the
poles, University of Texas aeros
pace engineers say.
Dr. Bob Schutz of the UT
Center for Space Research said
the subtle change in shape might
be compared to the slow return
of a rubber ball that is regaining
its shape after being squeezed.
During the past five years,
scientists at UT and the Califor
nia Institute of Technology have
used the Lageos satellite, which
was launched in 1976, to study
the Earth’s orbit.
published in Science News and
Nature magazine.
“Those gravity changes are a
reflection of changes in Earth’s
shape and are thought to be due
to the rebound of the planet’s
crust — a long-term and pre
viously undetectable response to
the removal of the last ice sheets,
which melted thousands of years
ago,” said Schutz.
The studies were based on
measurements taken from sev
eral global tracking stations, in
cluding UT’s McDonald Obser
vatory in West Texas.
Their findings, supported by
the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, were
Schutz said the data would be
of interest to meteorologists and
oceanographers studying long
term climate variations and
could be useful in understand
ing and measuring earthquakes.
‘Dallas’ stars move
because of threats
United Press International
DALLAS — Larry Hagman
and Linda Gray, stars of the
long-running “Dallas” television
series, had to change living
quarters several times during
location shooting in Dallas be
cause of ardent admirers or
threats of crime.
Hagman, who plays the role
of villainous “J.R.” in the series,
said he was shadowed by a
young admirer during last year’s
shooting and moved to a sec
luded north Dallas neighbor
hood, according to Dallas Times
Herald columnist Nancy Smith.
But, the Times Herald re
ported, he was unhappy there
and moved to the home of mil
lionaire oilman Henry Kyle, a
member of the board of the
Four Star production company,
a Hollywood studio founded by
William Powell and David
Niven.
Late last month, police re
ported Kyle had been shot in
Los Angeles and his killer was
still on the loose. Hagman dis
connected his phone and moved
again to a luxury apartment
complex, where security was
provided by the television pro
duction company.
“It wasn’t great,” said Carolyn
Shamis, Hagman’s real estate
agent, referring to the move.
“The less I say the better. His
moving was very abrupt. The
house didn’t have anything to do
with the murder.”
Gray, who plays J.R’s wife,
also was shadowed by fans and
was forced to move from a Dal
las condominium, the columnist
reported. But shortly after mov
ing to a luxury apartment, the
place was ransacked.
“Linda has really had her
problems,” a source told the col
umnist. “I’ve told her she really
needs a bodyguard.”

Next on the witness stand,
Allen said he decided against
trying to help because one of the
players assured him everything
would be all right. The woman
reached for him, but he pulled
away because something strange
