Williams, a 1954 animal husbandry graduate of Texas A&M, will be boosting Texas A&M again by helping to leach the class entitled Special Studies in Entrepreneurship, says visiting lecturer Ella Van Fleet, who designed the course. “Considering the success that Williams has had, and su per Aggie that he is, what else is left than for him to share is knowledge with the stu dents?” she asks. Van Fleet will be the primary teacher of the class. Before conducting his first class on Thursday, Williams, a Midland resident, asked, “What Aggie wouldn’t like to come back and be called pro fessor?” Although Williams has nev er taught a class before, he said that he thinks both he and the students will learn valu able business insights from the class. Because the class is avail able only to seniors and gra duate students in the business college, Williams will stay after each class to talk with students who wanted to get in the classs, but couldn’t. Williams will be teaching the class Feb. 23, March 23, April 12, and April 26.

The Indian leader suddenly died, but Scriver’s artistic mis sion lived on. Instead of the 12 statues, he eventually completed 53 bronze works depicting 1,200 years of Blackfeet culture. The dramatic collection, ti tled “No More Buffalo,” is on display through April 15 at the Cowboy Artists of America Museum, representing its first major exhibition of the year. “No one can view these beautiful works of Bob Scriver without being terribly moved,” said museum director Griff statues depicting culture on exhibit Carnes. “To see them is an emo tional experience.” Scriver, the son of a trader, was born on the Blackfeet Indi an reservation at Browning, Mont., in 1914 and saw first hand the effects of white man’s presence on a native American culture. With the extermination of the buffalo in the late 1800s, the Blackfeet tradition was des troyed and the Indians were forced to rely on the govern ment for food and shelter. “The buffalo was their entire existance,” Scriver said in a tele phone interview from Brown ing. “They used them for food, housing, clothing and religion. You take that away and they don’t have anything. It (buffalo) was the key to their culture.” As their culture declined, the Blackfeet became reservation Indians. But Scriver said they did not fight the encroaching white civilization. “They more or less accepted it. They knew the end of the buf falo was in sight and they gra dually started staying near the trading posts and forts,” he said. Scriver said it was 1959, when tribal leader Mead Swingley commissioned the statues, be fore he thought of capturing the Blackfeet culture in bronze. The theme “No More Buffa lo” was taken from the title of a single work — an elderly Black feet clutching a spear and gazing across the empty plains. The model was Ed Big Beav er, and Scriver recalled explain ing his intentions to the old man. “Eddie, I want to portray an old-time Blackfeet with only a spear for his weapon, dressed in moccasins, breechcloth, belt and knife. No feathers or other props we will use. This man is standing on a high and windy hill, looking off across the plains that were once dotted with buf falo but are silent and empty now.” r volving the transport of large amounts of money in or out of the country. The Senate tried last year to pass the package but in the final weeks of the session was unable to agree on what could be in cluded. The leadership set it aside until this year. In the House, crime control measures have been handled in a more piecemeal fashion, with various parts of the comprehen sive package taken up in diffe rent subcommittees. The four most controversial proposals — the ones on the death penalty, habeas corpus, the federal tort claims act and the exclusionary rule — are ex pected to be debated in the Sen ate as separate items next week.
