Mark White when White testified be fore the House Interior Committee on Monday. Former Gov. Bill Clements, a Re publican who was defeated by White, announced last week that he will run against White next year. Re publican Rep. Tom Loeffler of Hunt says he will announce next month, and former Lubbock Congressman Kent Hance, a GOP newcomer, is watching the race. “Well, Governor, I certainly ap preciate you taking the time to come up to Washington,” Barton said when it was his turn to query White after White’s testimony about off shore oil revenues. “I know what (with) your future election and the number of opponents you’re begin ning to generate that it’s certainly good that you can still take time to come up and exercise your duties before this body. “That’s a jobs program that the (Republican) party is presenting for us down there,” White responded. After the hearing, White said he had no comment about Clements’ announcement. By AMY NETTERVILLE Reporter Texas A&M environmental de sign students are drawing more than buildings in class; they’re also draw ing pictures of nude models. In Environmental Design 212, a life drawing class offered by the ar chitecture department, models pose nude for students to draw. Professor Bob Schifthatier says, “The class seems to attract mostly upper level E.D. students. The stu dents seem to be drawn to the course because they’ve had so much techni cal drawing that now they want to loosen up and do more free-hand drawing.” Schiftauer, who teaches the class, says the class gives students the sen sitivity they need to become ar chitects. “I don’t let them forget what they have learned about drawing a build ing,” he says. “But, all this time they’ve been designing spaces for people without the sensitivity they need. Figure drawing helps them to gain a feel for human proportions.” So who are the models that envi ronmental design students are draw ing? One model, Sarah Duke, is an ap plied math major at A&M. Duke says she started modeling nude for a sculptor in her home town, Houston. “My roommate took the life draw ing class here at A&M and heard they needed more models, so she told me,” Duke says. “I went to talk with the professor, and I’ve been doing it ever since.” Schifthauer says that’s how he gets most of his models for the class. “It’s pretty difficult in a town this size to find nude models,” Schif thauer says. “I don’t advertise for models in newspapers, I just rely on word of mouth.” Word of mouth also got Chuck Wilson, a wildlife and fisheries ma jor at A&M, interested in nude mod eling. “I went and talked to Bob because I heard about it,” Wilson says. “I sat in on a class, liked what I saw, and decided to give it a try.” The models pose twice a week for three hours each class. “I do different types of poses starting with warm up poses for 45 "It’s pretty difficult in a town this size to fmd mule models, / don't advertise . . . I just rely on word of mouth f — Professor Bob minutes,” Duke says. “I take a 15- minute break and then I do three- minute poses and five-minute poses, working up to longer ones. “I do a lot of different things while I’m modeling. I stretch out mainly for the first hour and for the longer ones, I sit or lie down. I also read, do homework or write letters.” Wilson says that each model is dif ferent and each gives his own type of pose. “I feel Sarah provides a more soft pose, and I provide more of an ac tive pose,” Wilson says. Wilson says keeping his body in shape for modeling isn’t a big con cern for him. “A model doesn’t need a good physique, that’s not the point,” Wil son says. “It’s someone who moves well and gives a distinct form.” Duke says, “Someone who is real thin, isn’t as good of a model because there’s not much to draw. With someone who is fat and has lots of rolls, there’s more to draw, lots of shadows and creases. “I watch my weight some,” Duke says. “I’m not skinny by any means of the word, but I do try to exercise and keep an average weight.” The models get paid by the de partment about $6 an hour. “It’s a way to make money for me and to take a class without spending money,” Wilson says. “But the money Sarah and I make doesn’t compare to what other nude models get paid.” Duke and Wilson both agree that money is not the attraction to model ing — art is the main attraction. “I wanted to see what the experi ence would be like,” Wilson says. “I thought it would help my artistic en deavors.” Duke says she realizes that she is not an artist and that modeling is her contribution to art. “My hands don’t produce some thing that’s nice to look at, so instead of producing art, I become part of the production,” she says. Schifthauer says drawing nude models gives the students something that’s useful as an architect as well as an artist. “I believe every architecture stu dent should take the class,” he says. “The sculptor, like the architect, deals with the real object and real space. In the past the sculptors were the architects too.” 2:35-4:55-7:35-9:45 THE MAN WITH ONE RED SHOE HOLD OUT FOR MAD MAX THIS IS MIS GREATEST ADVENTURE. MEL GIBSON.

James G. Oglesby pleaded guilty to a charge of murdering grocer Thomas Binford on July 18, 1961 and received a 15-year sentence. He was given credit for the 20 years he already spent behind bars. Prosecutor Brian Rains had of fered to recommend a 40-year sen tence in exchange for a guilty plea. But Rains said he took 25 years off the sentence after two witnesses re fused to confirm sworn statments they made to police shortly after the slaying. State District Judge Frank Price accepted the plea Monday, the day Oglesby was to be retried. Oglesby, 47, said he pleaded guilty to save his elderly mother, his sister and his brother-in-law from the ordeal of another trial. But he steadfastly maintained his inno cence. Oglesby said he plans to return to his mother’s home in Pensacola, Fla., where he will marry and start a house-painting business. Oglesby was convicted and sen tenced to 199 years in prison during a 1962 trial, which attracted wide spread publicity because the victim was the son of T.A. Binford, a popu lar Harris County sheriff. He was released from prison in 1983 after the T exas Court of Crimi nal Appeals in Austin reversed the conviction. The court ruled that Og lesby had been wrongly convicted by the same jury that also determined he was mentally competent to stand trial. Oglesby said he paid another in mate “$40 in commissary” privileges to prepare a writ for the appeals court. He mailed it and “about five or six weeks later, some guy came running up to me and said, ‘They reversed your case,’ ” Oglesby said. Rains faced a host of difficulties in proving the state’s case again. Claude C. Baggett, Oglesby’s brother-in-law, made a written statement in 1961 that he saw Og lesby board a bus to Florida shortly after Binford was shot to death. In the statement, Baggett said Og lesby “admitted he had shot some body that night in an argument at a bar,” Rains said. But the prosecutor said Baggett told him Monday he could not remember making or sign ing a statement. Mary Elizabeth Baggett, Oglesby’s sister, also denied she ever gave a statement to police, Rains said. 1:00-3:15 It is everythin* you’ve 5:30 dreAmcd of. 7*45-10:00 It is nothin* you expect.
