Micro Acquisition Center 2,456-acre tract donated SHOE Conoco gives A&M gift leum operations. Joining N from Conoco will be Ozzi University News Service Conoco, Inc. has given the Texas A&M System a 2,456-acre tract of Brazoria County land with an ap praised value of $6.5 million — one of the largest such land gifts in the history of Texas. . Announcement of the gift was jointly made by Conoco and Texas A&M officials who will meet here Monday to commemorate the dona tion. The Conoco delegation will be headed by Constantine S. Nican- dros, president of worldwide petro- Nicandros Ozzie Newell Jr., executive vice president for manufacturing technology; Dan Cameron, vice president for world wide refining coordination; and James R. Underhill, manager for business development for worldwide refining coordination. Nicandros said the land given to the Texas A&M system was acquired by Conoco in 1975. It is located about 21 miles south and slightly east of Alvin and fronts on Choco late Bayou. “Conoco has many petroleunuij erations employees working arom no ai the world who are Texas A&M uates,” Nicandros said, from working with those men as women that this land isbeingpbts into most capable hands." Du Pont, Conoco’s parent con pany, is one of the nation's topma: ufacturers of agrichemicals, prow ing a complete line of cro^ protection chemicals. Research a many of these products is cond'j by the company in Texas. Bullock Assoc (continued from page 1) while tuition money must be sent to the state treasury. Wasson said the Legislature au thorizes all college and university fees, and that most of the fees are es tablished for specific uses, such as student service fees. Much of the money is put into local funds, he said, but it is used according to speci fication. The current Appropriation Bill specifies funds that must be de posited in the State Treasury. Bullock’s report also said that “Thanks to local funds, 22 college presidents take home more pay than the Governor of Texas.” Wasson said the Appropriation Bill allows using local funds til supplement state funds. This is &! sential in recruiting “high-qualitp dividuals to the position ofChitth ecutive Officer of a majot university.” The amounts aitt sources of money are decided bylln Board of Regents and reportwh the secretary of state and the statt comptroller. Computers (continued from page 1) until another location is found. That store will house the various comput ers offered through the program and provide demonstrations of both hardware and software products. Vice Chancellor Bill Wasson is dis appointed by the new location. “We felt like we were doing some thing for the students,” Wasson says, “but if the Student Government doesn’t see it that way, then that’s a decision they have to make. We will use this space (bookstore) now. It’s not adequate, but it’s not inconve nient for the students either.” University administrators had fa vored the Rumours site because it was close to the bookstore, located in a high-traffic area and the outside entrance would allow the center to operate when the MSC is closed. Some students and MSC person nel objected to using space devoid to student activities for what thr saw as an administrative function “There was a lot of discussion and concern expressed about lilt change,” MSC Director Jim Rev nolds says. “Right now we are open ating under the assumption thatRu motirs is not being considered asi site.” Wasson would not state location! that are being discussed.

UNITED CAMPUS MINISTRY: will meet at 6:15 p.m. at “I made a motion to go, and he thought I meant to hold it... so we’ll pass it Monday,” Lyon told report ers. The Senate quickly adjourned un- bill til Monday after the bill was tenta lively approved on voice vote. The Senate on a 23-4 vote also adopted the “Big Bubba” amend ment by Sen. Bill Sarpalius to extend the seat belt requirement to three- qfuarter ton pickups. The original bill covered only half-ton pickups. Three other proposed amend ments failed, including one on a 17- 10 vote that automatically would abolish the proposed law if possible federal sanctions dissolved. “You can buckle up right now,” said Sen. Bob McFarland, R-Arling- ton, the amendment sponsor. “No, you can’t get ’em to unless you pass a law,” responded Lyon. The U.S. Department of Trans portation has said it will require au tomakers to develop restraints such as air bags if states representing two- thirds of the country’s population do not pass laws requiring seat belt use. Lyon’s bill would go into effect Sept. 1 but fines of $25 to $50 for vi olators would not become effective until Dec. 1. Th< ofl aniiimiiiimmii i Trea I It s G J 1 ntllllllHUIIUIIII
