By KATHERINE HURT Staff Writer The Imported Vodka without the imported price. Seagrams IMPORTED VODH^v See Your Favorite Retailer The Texas A&M University Press, now entering its 10th year, enjoys a growth rate that surpasses many other university presses across the country. It has netted almost $5 mil lion in sales and distributed 400,000 books around the-world since Hous tonian John H. Lindsey, Class of’44, encouraged A&M to start the press in 1975. Lloyd G. Lyman, director of the University Press, said the press has two main responsibilities: to publish books of scholarly interest for peo ple all over the world, and to publish books reflecting the culture and his tory of Texas and the Southwest. The University Press has pub lished volumes on various subjects, some of which include art and folklore which preserve and inter- E ret Texas’ heritage, history, natural istory, environmental history, the American West, economics, oil and nautical archaeology. “Our main goal,” Lyman said, “is to serve the constituency of Texas and Texas A&M. We serve the inter ests of the people on a regional basis and the academic community on a worldwide basis.” Lyman succeeded founding direc tor Frank H. Wardlaw in 1978, after serving 15 years as assistant director of the University of California Press at Berkeley, as executive editor and marketing manager of the Louisiana State University Press and as asso ciate director of the University Press. Last September the University Press moved into a new $1.7 million building named in honor of Lindsey. The 5,000 square foot building houses production, editorial, mar keting, warehousing and shipping facilities, Lyman said. The building also houses the Frank H. Wardlaw Collection of Texas Art — a collection of 22 pieces by Texas artists — donated to the C ress at the dedication of its new uilding. Lyman knows of “no better physi cal facility for a university press in the United States. Many are rele gated to condemned fraternity houses and to library basements,” he said. Lyman said the University Press will publish the manuscript of any one who qualifies. “Around 30 percent of our au thors are Texas A&M professors, though you don’t have to be on staff to get published,” Lyman said. “We like to publish our own faculty’s manuscripts, but many have pre vious commitments to other presses.” Prospective manuscripts must be reviewed and approved by a faculty advisory committee made up of members of' faculties from Texas A&M, Prairie View A&M University, Tarleton State University and Texas A&M University at Galveston. The University Press has pub lished more than 170 books since its first volume, “Storms Brewed in Other Men’s Worlds: The Con frontation of Indians, Spanish, and French in the Southwest,” by Eliza beth A.H. John was published in 1975. The University Press publishes about 30 new books annually and re cently received funds for two new se ries — the Frank H. Wardlaw series and the Clayton Wheat Williams Texas Life Series. Former publishing colleagues and longtime friends of Frank Wardlaw, director emeritus of the University Press, are funding the Wardlaw se ries. The series will feature books dealing with Texas and the South west. The Williams series was estab lished by Clayton W. Williams Jr. in honor of his father. It will focus on daily life in Texas at different time periods, from the beginning of re corded time until the present. Lyman said the University Press is “at the low end of the medium-sized university presses, which publish from 20 to 75 books per year." Large presses publish more than 60 per year, Lyman added. By He said the largest American uni versity press is the University of Cali fornia Press that prints more than 200 books per year. $ 1.59 Several books published by the press have received special critical recognition. The most important, “Ashbel Smith of Texas: Pioneer, Patriot, Statesman, 1805-1886," by Elizabeth Silverthorne won the Tul- lis Memorial Award from the Texas State Historical Association in 1982. In the same year, it won top awards from the Daughters of the Republic of Texas and from the Sons of the Republic of Texas. 2 Pieces of Chicken, 1 nij and 1 vegetable side otk Regularly $2.13 / No limit on numberd purchases per coupon.
