Old age images contrasted
By KIRSTEN DIETZ
Reporter
A exhibit focusing on the chan
ging images of older people in
American society will be dis
played in the Medical Sciences
Building lobby through Nov. 2. ft
is sponsored by the Smithsonian
Institution Traveling Exhibition
Service.
The exhibit, “Images of Old
Age in America,” dramatizes the
contrasts between the popular
images of aging in three broad
time periods and the realities of
existence for the elderly through
the use of graphics, quotations,
photographs and original text.
More than 100 photographs
and reproductions of prints are
combined on three panels group
ing them into the time periods.
During the First period rep
resented, 1790-1864, the elderly
were respected as guardians of
virtue and usef ul members of so
ciety.
In the next time frame, 1865-
1934, post-Civil War technologi
cal developments made the el
derly appear obsolete and their
worth was lessened. After World
War I, an increasing number of
Americans began to consider the
aged a “social problem.”
In the last period, 1935-pre
sent, stereotypic images of the el
derly are being replaced by the
growing awareness of the creativ
ity, diversity and potential of
older people.
Mary Alice Pisani, assistant to
the dean of the College of Medi
cine, said the exhibit is important
because of the increasing number

After approximately 750 man
hours, the designing of the Texas
A&M 1985 model Formula SAE race
car is complete, says Tony Griffith, a
senior mechanical engineering ma
jor.
The car, designed by a team of
Five mechanical engineering stu
dents, will be entered in the annual
Society of Automotive Engineers
competition held in 1985 at the Uni
versity of Texas at Arlington, Grif
fith said.
The two day event. May 30 and
June 1, consists of five different
stress tests for the car, Griffith, de
sign crew chief for the car, said.
“The rules of the competition
state that the cat must be entirely

According to statistics f rom the
Texas Department on Aging, an
other American turns 00-years-
old every 42 seconds, and Texas
Race car designed by students
conceived, designed, built
driven by students,” he said.
Students designed the car lor a
project in ME 446. Mechanical Engi
neering Design Ill, this semester.
Construction of the new car will
begin soon and be completed as a
project for ME 404, an electrical in
strumentation class, Griffith said.
The construction will take about 750
hours.
“We have received donations
from H.B. Zachry, the American So
ciety of Mechanical Engineers and
Howard Racing on Texas Avenue,"
Griffith said.
Regulations state the car construc
tion and design can cost a maximum
of $4,000.
The nationwide event has had en
tries from as far north as Canada,
Griffith said. The event has been
hosted by the University of Texas
Austin for the last five years.
This is the third year that A&M
has competed in the SAE Formula
races. Last year, A&M came in sec
ond place behind the University of
Houston.
“One reason the car did so well is
because it is simple and sturdy,”
Griffith said. “It has only one cylin
der, but we have hot-rodded it up to
between 35 and 40 horsepower.”
The engine in the 1984 car was
taken from a Yamaha 500, Griffith
said.
