WASHINGTON — Freshman
Republican Joe Barton of Ennis took
a political poke at Democratic Gov.
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.

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

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.”

HOUSTON — A man, whose
199-year sentence for the murder of
a grocer almost 25 years ago was re
versed on a technicality, accepted a
prosecutor’s plea bargain and
walked out of the courtroom a free
man.
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.
