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.

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.

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.

officer, misread Lyon’s hand signal
to proceed.

“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.
