The patio area has been enclosed to make room for a trademark area, Store Manager Howard DeHart said. A trademark area is for books other than textbooks. The trademark area, which has been requested by faculty members and students, will make room for books previously not furnished, in cluding bestsellers, he said. Because the 5,500 required text books take up a tremendous amount of space, the bookstore has not pr o vided a trademark area before, De hart said. He said they plan to start a book club so individuals who buy a certain amount of books will receive one free. The expansion also will provide books for groups who attend confer ences and seminars at the Univer sity, like the Pecan Growers Associa tion, he said. “We want to stay ahead and abreast of all the coming events at A&M,” DeHart said. Included in this effort will be rec- 'ognition of books written by faculty members or well-known authors. “We will have shop talks and auto- r graph parties," Ire said. “T^Woirntz something that we ve never doneltB' 6 fore.” The renovation phase, whichw lx- completed by Aug. 1, is prepatinfl the Kxokstore lor anouher diange- the addition of computers; The neW computers will enaNt the bookstore to keep moreaccu® accounts and to ser ve customersJ percent faster , Dehart said.

TDC spokesman Phil Guthrie said the investigation does not indicate the two guards were paid or partici pated in the escape. However, they may have known that Be van was planning to flee, he said. Neither guard has been charged. Both officers were earlier linked to the escape when the Anderson County Sheriffs Department as sisted a TDC search of the of ficers' Palestine mobile home. A sheriffs department report says guards accepting jSO.Ottll late Roy W. Bev; a pair of unidentified accused of helping inmate Roy W. Bevan cape on Feb.
