"aA&M grad student
designs new hospital
by Scott Griffin
Battalion Staff
Yang Sung Yeh, a graduate
tudent in architecture at Texas
fcM University, recently com-
leted a 600-bed hospital design
roject for his native town of
aipei, Taiwan.
Dr. George Mann, one of
feh’s principal advisors, said the
iesign is unique in that the hos-
Dital will contain a education
enter which will provide infor-
nadon to the public on preven-
itive health measures through
xhibitions, lectures, and audio
isual programs.
Yeh has been working on the
project in conjunction with
another architect stationed in
Taiwan, Charles C. Yen of
Taipei, a 1972 graduate of the
health facility program here.
Most of the work on the pro
ject took place during the spring
and summer of this year, with
the final product displayed in
early August at the architectural
exhibit at the American Hospital
Association/Texas Hospital
Association convention in
Houston.
Yeh received several job
offers from prominent health
facility firms at the convention.
The design consists of a 22-
story nursing unit, the health
education center and an addi
tional 300-bed unit behind the
main building.
The facility will be known as
the Yang Ming Municipal Hos
pital and will be built in the
northern part of Taipei.
Yeh, a graduate of Chung
Yuan University, said existing
health facilities in the area are
overcrowded. Once completed,
the facility is expected to serve
about 1,000 outpatients and 100
emergency patients daily, he
said.

I Representatives from about
50 Texas A&M clubs and orga-
ijiizations will be in the Memorial
Jtudent Center from 7 p.m. to
lidnight on Sunday for the
nnual MSC Open House.
Program adviser Charlie
Valter says the open house is
lesigned as a time when stu-
lents can find out what clubs
be doing what during the
emester.
Also included in the open
louse will be a reception with
[dministrators and faculty
hembers, followed by a street
dance.
Several types of clubs will be
epresented at the open house
including sporting and recrea-
pn, religious, academic and in-
rnational clubs. Organizations
such as Student Government
and the MSC committees, as well
as the Study Abroad Program,
intramurals and student activi
ties, also will have tables set up.
Because more clubs will be
represented this year than in the
past, the open house will be held
on the first and second floors of
the Memorial Student Center.
In the past the event was held
only on the second floor.
A reception will be held from
7 to 8 p.m. in 216 MSC so stu
dents can meet administrators
and faculty members. Faculty
members involved in the Men
tors Program, a program de
signed to help students on a one-
to-one basis, also will be available
to meet students.
In addition to the open house,
the street in front of G. Rollie
White Coliseum will be blocked

CINDERFORD, England —
he fire in a chimney was only a
uarter mile from the firehouse,
iut the four parttime firefigh-
:rs who received the alarm
ould do nothing about it. None
iad a license to drive the fire
ruck.
“This situation should never
lave been allowed to occur,”
aid Gloucestershire Chief Fire
)fficer Robert Wilson in some-
aing of an understatement.
He said 10 of the 16 part-time
irefighters in the town of 7,000
people 120 miles west of Lon
don were authorized to drive the
truck. But none turned up even
though three were on standby
duty. Wilson said the three were
equipped with “beepers” but
could have been out of range.
A firefighting crew from Col-
eford, 6 miles away, dealt with
the fire in the aptly named town
of Cinderford.
Wilson called the incident a
“one in a million” chance and
said, “it is bound to happen occa
sionally in the best-run organi
zation.”

CONROE — Montgomery
County authorities plan to
charge admitted mass murderer
Henry Lee Lucas with one of
three killings he recently confes
sed to, officials said.
Lucas, 47, claims he killed at
least 100 women in 17 states. He
was returned Sunday to Mont
gomery County officials, where
he is scheduled for a court
appearance Monday.
During his six-day stay in
Montgomery County, Lucas was
questioned by lawmen from
eight law enforcement agencies.
Only the Harris County Sher
iffs Department was able to de
velop information provided by
Lucas on an unsolved slaying,
officials said.
Montgomefy County Sheriff
Joe Corley said Lucas probably
will be charged with the Octc ber
slaying of Pasadena homerm ker
Gloria Stephan, 38, who was
stabbed, strangled and sexually
abused.
Her body was found by au
thorities in October, and Lucas
led Corley and two detectives to
the site where he had left
Stephan’s nude body.
Lucas has already been
charged with murder for the
deaths of five other Texas
women. He said he had sex with
the corpses of several of his vic
tims.
Corley said Lucas may not go
to trial in Montgomery County
for Stephan’s death “if (he) is
tried and convicted in 10 cases
elsewhere.”
“All I’m interested in is seeing
a fiend like that taken out of
society for the rest of his life. If
we can play a part in that by
trying him, I’d be delighted to
do it,” Corley said.
Lucas also pointed out last
week where he had left the
bodies of a 16-year-old Houston
high school student in April and
the unidentified body of a
woman found north of Conroe.
No charges have been filed in
those cases.
Lucas spent some time with
Harris County detectives, but
because of the considerable de
velopment in the Houston area,
the former mental patient told
officials he had trouble identify
ing locations.
THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE
CRIMES OF THE HEART O BLUES IN THE NIGHT
The Best of Broadway
is back in
Bryan-College Station!
MSC Town Hall / Broadway is bringing Broadway
back to Texas A&M for another triumphant sea
son! Last year Town Hall/Broadway offered its first
season ticket package to rave reviews. This year

more dance, more laughter. More of the finest the
atre in New York, brought to Bryan-College Station
for you! And all at a savings!

20% discount from individual ticket prices and

ing Broadway back—just for you!
THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE
Starring Maria Muldaur, October 23, 1983
Winner of three Tony Awards, this band of fierce
yet totally fallible swashbucklers is pursued by their
former apprentice, who is honor bound to exter
minate them. They may yet be saved by their pur
suer’s starry-eyed love for the fetching Mabel,
played by pop recording star Maria Muldaur. A
giddy, rollicking adaptation of the original Gilbert
and Sullivan operetta.
“If you go to the theatre only once this year, this is the
show!”—N e ws week.
CRIMES OF THE HEART
February 2, 1984
This Pulitzer Prize winning tragi-comedy takes us to
an evening with the MaGrath sisters: Babe, out on
bail from shooting her husband; Meg, the strug
gling singer on leave from a psycho ward; and
Lenny, coming to grips with life as an old maid. A
wonder of Southern Gothic humor.
“A crime for anyone interested in the theatre not to see this
play.”—New York Post.
BLUES IN THE NIGHT
Starring Della Reese, March 27, 1984
A sultry, sizzling show about three women in 1938
hotel rooms crying the blues. Defiant, nostalgic
memories of women who can neither live with men
nor without them. Great blues and jazz.
“One of the best musical scores to hit Broadway in many a
year!’—Newark Star Ledger.
PUMP BOYS AND DINETTES
April 16, 1984
Take Highway 57 from Smyrna towards Frog
Level. Watch close and you’ll find a gas station right
across from the Double Cupp Diner, run by them
Cupp sisters, Prudie and Rhetta. Roll into the sta
tion and them “Pump Boys”—Jim Jackson, Eddie
and L.M. — will fall all over you, (if you’re buying
the beer, of course). Or just pull off on the side and
get your ears filled with high octane down-home
country rockabilly, bluegrass, gospel and blues.
“As refreshing as an ice-cold beer after a bowl of five alarm
chili!’—New York Times.
