Sailing Team gets
five $4,000 boats
By KEVIN S. INDA
Reporter
The Texas A&M Sailing Team
will receive five new sailboats Tues
day that will enable the team to be
more competitive in their district
and allow the team to host sailing
races, says Jonathan Roach, sailing
team captain.
The new boats are Vanguard
420’s and are used in most intercol
legiate races, Roach said.
A Vanguard 420 is a two-man
sloop that has a length of 420 centi
meters and a mast height of 20 feet.
“The boat is very responsive and at
$4,000 it is also relatively inexpensi
ve,” Roach said.
The money used to purchase the
boats was donated primarily by for
mer students with an interest in sail
ing, he said.
"The team has spent the last two
years collecting donations through
the Lakewood Yacht Club, Houston
Yacht Club and some sailing enthu
siasts in Dallas,” Roach said. “Our ef
forts have finally paid off.”
Now the sailing team can host re
gattas (sailing races) without the help
of other teams in their district.
“We previously had to borrow
other teams’ boats and facilities to
host regattas,” Roach said. “You
must host at least two regattas an
nually to stay in the district, and now
we can meet this requirement with
much more ease.”
The new boats also will benefit the
sailing team in preparing for regat
tas. “The team would previously
train in used boats and now we can
practice in the same type of boat we
will be competing in,” Roach said.
The University of Texas and Tu-
lane University are usually the top
two teams in the district, Roach said.
“We battle for third with SMU, but
with the new boats we could possibly
be elevated to national standings.”
The sailing team currently has a
proposal up for review with the
Bryan City Council that would en
able them to store their boats at the
Bryan Utilities Lake Park, Roach
said.
“Texas A&M has donated a steel
prefabricated building to the sailing
team, and we just need a place to put
it,” he said.
Storing the boats at the lake would
cut down on damage to the boats
while they are being trailered from
storage to the lake.
“All we would have to do is go out,
put the sails up and push the boat in
the water,” Roach said.
Rep. Lewis addresses
Ag Economics Club
By KIM TREESE
Reporter
"Bryan-College Station is a
bumper sticker town,” Texas State
Rep. Neeley C. Lewis, of Bryan, told
the Agricultural Economics Club
Thursday night. “But there’s one
bumper sticker in particular that al
ways has turned me on, and that is
Texas Aggies — Leaders in Agricul
ture.”
Lewis said his family has farmed
this area for the past three genera
tions. "I grew up in an agricultural
background,” he said.
After recently touring Texas with
the state agricultural committee, Le
wis said he has concluded that agri
culture is going through its toughest
time since the Depression.
“If 1 could talk to the man upstairs
and get some rain, all of our agricul
tural problems would be taken care
of,” he said.
Lewis also said last year’s freeze in
the Valley and high interest rates are
leading problems in Texas agricul
ture.
“But we have to do more than
pray for rain and hope to avoid any
more disasters,” he said. “We have to
get out and get with the program be
cause there is no doubt agriculture is
still the pillar of the state of Texas.”
The Texas State Agricultural and
Livestock Committee is currently
working on several programs to im
prove agriculture.
A farmers’ market is being cre
ated in which the Department of Ag
riculture will work with the farmers
in trying to eliminate the middle
man.
“We’re still the leaders in agricul
ture,” Lewis said. “What we’ve got to
do is increase productivity and use
available resources to market effec
tive products.”
A new marketing technique will be
introduced entitled “A Taste of Tex
as.” Products will be promoted
across the country carrying a logo
which will clearly identify them as
Texas products.
“We want people to recognize
Texas products and try to get the
stores to promote them,” Lewis said.
“It’s a positive type of program to
market our products.”
Texas products also will be mar
keted internationally. “We’re hiring
people who are familiar with what
Texas is and who can sell Texas
products,” he said.
“There is no question we’re just at
the beginning of this whole market
ing area,” Lewis said. “We have got
to use the best information we have
available to make sure we stay on the
forefront of the market.”

Two inmates confined
for Death Row attack
TO
United Press International
HUNTSVILLE — Prison officials
covered a window and continued re-
viewing procedures for the
movement of inmates on Death Row
Thursday following an attack in
which one inmate was burned by two
others.
Calvin Williams was in good con
dition at John Sealy Hospital in Gal
veston, said Phil Guthrie, Texas De
partment of Corrections spokesman.
Guthrie said Williams was burned
on both legs and suffered a broken
foot in Wednesday morning’s attack
in his cell on Death Row at the Ellis I
Unit outside Huntsville.
Being held in solitary confine
ment for questioning in the attack
are James Michael Briddle and War
ren Eugene Bridge. Guards took two
knives from the suspects and recov
ered a pipe bomb made from aerosal
cans in Williams’ cell after the attack.
The two allegedly doused some
kind of flammable fluid on Williams
and set him on fire as they passed his
cell on the way to an outside recre
ation period.
“The warden told me they had
put a screen over a window that
looks out on the yard where the gen
eral population gathers for recre
ation,” Guthrie said. “We’re also
looking at a hallway that connects to
the wing where the Row is where the
weapons and materials could have
been passed.”
Guthrie said though there is an
occasional stabbing on Death Row,
the occurrence of violence is not
nearly as prominent as it is in the
general prison system, where 278 in
mates have been stabbed this year.
