Staff Writer
Renovation of the lower level of
the Memorial Student Center
Bookstore is under way in an effort
to modernize the store and offer
more services to the customers.
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.
DeHart said the computers willti
purchased within 18 months.
“Eventually this will beoneoffttl
most modern bookstores in ikt
United States,” Dehart said.

Two guards suspended pending
results of escape investigation
Associated Press
TENNESSEE COLONY — Two
prison guards are on suspension
pending the outcome of an investi
gation into the escape of a convicted
rapist who is still at large, a Texas
Department of Corrections spokes
man 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. I‘.I fr om the Cofli
Unit in Tennessee Colony, the Pi
line Herald Press said Sunday.
Both officers took polygr;
tests, Guthrie said. The suspension!
will last until the investigatioml
completed and a decision ondisall
nary ac tion is made, Guthrie said I
