This love is often expressed in the urbanite’s own ership of a weekend ranch and by farmers- reluctance to give up their lifestyle for a more profitable pro fession. Those without land still ex press a certain pride and indepen dence reminiscent of early pioneers. T he weekend of Nov. 16 several heavyweights of Texas culture and history presented papers addressing “The Land Myth in Texas Agricul ture.” The ambiguous title of the symposium failed to do justice to the intense and far reaching implica tions of the issues discussed. While the objective was to explain Texan’s continuing personal attach ment to the land, other subjects such as the plight of the family farm, cor porate land exploitation, private property rights and urban expan sion crept into the arena of dis cussion. The land myth is epitomized by the individualistic vitality on the part of pioneers of Texas to survive in a uncivilized land. To some extent this attitude has been idealized by writers and historians, but more impor tantly it’s still present in the hearts and ambitions of Texans. An advocate of the land myth con cept, John Henry Faulk, said it was the same sense of independence and fear of legislative power that led the founding fathers to ratify the Bill of Rights. He said he thought it was fortunate that even though few Americans are directly tied to the land, they still are enamoured with the sense of freedom land own ership represents. “Unless we recapture ideas in the document, we will cope with prob lems of an eVer shrinking world,” Faulk said. Several speakers said respect for personal freedom had carried over into the corporate sector under the guise of less government interfer ence in private enterprise. This carry over has manifested itself as an open ticket for strip mining, unlim ited water use and the deforestation of East Texas timber land. “We are going to have a major di saster because we have used up the land,” Faulk said. The symposium turned decidedly anti-land myth when Texas A&M history professor Robert Calvert said, “The myth of the country side leads us to shirk our duties in the city.” Citing the disorganized nature of the state’s largest urban areas, he said there was “no psychology for handling cities” which are alien and foreign to Texans. Following Calvert’s indictment of the land myth, Joe B. Frantz, a well- known historian at the Unversity of Texas, called Texans “possibly the most land conscious in the U.S.” Texans have been “so blessed we thought God was a Texan,” Frantz said as he compared Texans bles sings to a series of winning “lottery tickets.” * The first ticket, he said, was the vast acreage which translated into fortunes from cattle and cotton pro duction. The second ticket was Spin- dletop and the subsequent oil boom followed by a third, the aerospace in dustry and defense business. He concluded that Texans have succeeded without very much collec tive thought and now will “try to get something by thinking.” He pointed to the new emphasis on the electron ics industry and the reform of the education system as ways to sustain prosperity in Texas. John B. McDermott, A&M profes sor of philosophy and medical ethics, said we “. . . have been se duced by nature” by always looking towards land as the “script of out sal vation.” He deplored Texas cities for lack ing an atmosphere like New York or Boston saying Texas “cities are iden tified with ideas and sin.” McDer mott said the “drive for land is anti intellectual.” Referring to corporate tree farms in East Texas as “cellulose factories,” Pete Gunter, a philosopy professor at North Texas State University said 80,000 to 100,000 acres a year of di verse Texas forests are being turned into an impersonal geometric space containing row after row of pine trees. While such businesses are highly profitable they “symbolize the vir tual death of the land myth and the birth of the non-land myth,” one that believes man does not need land, Gunter said. Rick Floyd, Director of the Texas Real Estate Research Center fin ished off the program saying several other topics should have been ad dressed. Specifically he stated more attention should have been spent discussing the Texas Homestead law, foreign investment of Texas lands, and urban encroachment on productive farmland. He also condemned the agricultu ral experiment stations saying they were originally created out of the land myth, but they have inadver tantly acted to destroy it. He said the promotion of mechanization and in novation caused the displacement of farm families. Subject of miniseries saves life of prisoner United Press International BASTROP — Dr. Jeffrey Mac Donald, subject of the television miniseries “Fatal Vision,” helped save the life of a fellow convict who swallowed a toxic substance at a fed eral prison, sources said Sunday. Prison spokesman Larry Taylor said a prisoner was found unconscious about 8:40 p.m. Satur day at the Federal Correctional In stitute in Bastrop and MacDonald accompanied him to the prison hos pital. “Inmates recognized that Dr. Mc Donald had a medical background, so they called him to the scene,” Tay lor said. “He (the prisoner) was taken to the hospital, where our staff administered treatment, and he re sponded almost immediately.” A prison source told United Press International, “He (MacDonald) brought the man back to life.” Officials at Brackenridge Hospital in nearby Austin said a prisoner identified as Ira Burkhart was ad mitted to the hospital Saturday night and released Sunday morning. Prison sources said Burkhart swal lowed a toxic substance inside a bal loon that burst in his stomach. MacDonald, a former Army phy sician, was sentenced to three con secutive life prison terms for the 1970 murders of his pregnant wife and two young daughters. He has been at the Bastrop prison for 2‘/a years. The two-part miniseries concern ing MacDonald is based on Joe Mc- Ginniss’ book, “Fatal Vision.” The former Green Beret claims the book and television show are inaccurate and will impair his chances of get ting a new trial. MacDonald claims he was bound and stabbed by four intruders who invaded his home and attacked his family, chanting “Acid is groovy. Kill the pigs.” $18.99/box SS/SD Disks $22.99/box SS/DD Disks $26.99/box DS/DD Disks Stock up TODAY on Discs and a FREE Library Case COMPUTERS with FREE 11 "’ Case We know, you can know co^gfl^rs. 701 University East Suita 102 College Station, TX 77040 (409) 846-4444 G 15% DISCOUNT with current A&M I.D.
