textbook approach, but for

■ bussm liains Jr., one of the most suc-
e Vb's:cessful and best known of
ntoIevTtxas businessmen and
nds soil Aggies, came to Ije one of its
teachers. Williams was chosen
not only because of his huge

known as a booster of Texas

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.
Senate proposes crime bill
Insanity plea debated
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The
|enate began work Monday on
is first major bill this year —
weeping anti-crime legislation
1 jhat includes a major change in
he insanity plea.
K Republican leader Howard
■ker said a final vote could
lave exp ome late Monday or Tuesday.
medeveH Four controversial issues —
[he death penalty, habeas cor-
T Hs, the federal tort claims act
and the exclusionary rule —
links ToaBre kept out of the bill under
theconlekn agreement allowing each to
infidemhe handled separately once
versus work on the main legislation is
iys. finished.
R Among die more noticeable
legal changes in die measure is a
ng for Eproposal to reverse the insanity
and$2, defense, making a defendant
niversiiArove he was insane at the time
Ohio Stflather than making prosecutors
Jnivers prove he was not.
ian Franol The proposal is a direct out-
Siate U|rowth of the verdict in the trial
. at Albailf John W. Hinckley Jr. on
md and litharges of trying to assassinate
hern ( President Reagan. Hinckley was
found not guilty by reason of in
sanity and is now in a federal
mental hospital in Washington,
hould The administration-backed
the univemeasure also would require a jail
the moiifterin for anyone convicted of us-
ich. ing a firearm during a violent
crime that falls under federal
jurisdiction. It would impose a
portant I mandatory five-year term for
of knowigusing any handgun loaded with
e in a fearmor-piercing bullets — often
id comei.called “cop killer” bullets since
they can penetrate bullet-proof
vests — during a violent crime.
The legislation also would:
• Tighten bail laws to provide
for pre-trial detention in some
cases.
• Replace the U.S. Parole
Commission with a sentencing
commission to develop standar
dized sentencing guidelines for
judges to use.
• Give the government grea
ter power to seize the assets of
those involved in organized
crime or drug operations.
• Substantially boost fines

United Press International
KERRVILLE — In 1959, the
chairman of the Blackfeet Trib
al Business Council asked sculp
tor Robert Macfie Scriver to cre
ate 12 statues depicting facets of
tribal culture.
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.
