honored at A&M this weekend.
William C. Altman, Murray E.
Fulton, Dan L. McGurk and Jack E.
Brooks are also Rhodes Scholars
from A&M and will be honored this
weekend.
Rhodes Scholars receive schol
arship money from a fund estab
lished in 1904 by Cecil John Rhodes,
a South African statesman.
Following a faculty reception
hosted Friday afternoon by Dean of
Faculties ana Associate Provost Dr.
Clinton A. Phillips, the guests will be
honored at a dinner sponsored by J.
Wayne Stark, special assistant to the
president for cultural affairs.
Saturday the honorees will attend
a student leader reception and Presi
dent Frank Vandiver’s pre-game
buffet.
They also will be presented at
halftime during the Texas A&M-
Northeast Louisiana game.
Cisneros, a recent appointee to
the Texas A&M Board of Regents,
graduated from A&M, Class of ’68,
with an English degree.
"At A&M,” Cisneros said in a San
Antonio Express News story pub
lished last spring, “I learned what
you can do when you go all out. Most
people don’t know what they can do
because they operate in certain re
straints.”
During his White House
Fellowship, Cisneros worked under
then-Secretary of Health, Education
and Welfare Elliot Richardson.
As a White House Fellow from
1981-82, Barton served as an aide to
Department of Energy Secretary
James B. Edwards.
Barton graduated as Outstanding
Industrial Engineering Student of
the Class of’72.
Basse, a Rhodes Scholar and
White House Fellow, is finishing his
master’s degree at Stanford Grad
uate School of Business.
He graduated from A&M Summa
Cum Laude in the Class of ’76. Dur
ing his term as a Rhodes Scholar,
Hasse attended Pembroke College at
Oxford University and received a
master’s degree in philosophy and
politics.
Before beginning his White
House Fellowship, Hasse founded
HALT by borrowing $1500, Stark
said.
Stark said HALT, which is a non-
K rofit organization of Americans for
;gal reform, has a budget this year
of well over $2 million. While at
tending Stanford, Hasse serves on
the HALT Board of Directors.
Altman, Class of ’82, is A&M’s
most recent graduate who is a Rho
des Scholar.
He earned an electrical engi
neering degree, Summa Cum
Laude, and also served as Chairman
of the Student Government Judicial
Board, Student Government’s Vice
President of Student Services and
chairman of the committee which
recommended the intra-campus
shuttlebus now in service.
As a Rhodes Scholar, Altman
went to Pembroke college at Oxford
University, earned degrees in poli
tics and economics and specialized in
international relations.
He now works for Trammell
Crow in Houston.
Fulton, a native of Canada, re
ceived the Association of Former
Students Award for the top three
masters’ candidates on campus while
working on his agricultural econom
ics degree.
He graduated in 1978 and moved
to Exeter College at Oxford as a
Rhodes Scholar in 1980.
Fulton now is an Assistant Profes
sor, Department of Agricultural
Economics and Research, at the Uni
versity of Saskatchewan, Canada.
McGurk, Class of’47, now is a pri
vate investor, involved with many
civic activities, and holds
directorships in several companies.
He earned his A&M degree in
aerospace engineering and went to
Christ Church College during his
Rhodes Scholarship.
McGurk was the Associate Direc
tor of the Office of Management
and Budget from 1976 to 1977, and
also founded and was chairman of
the Protype Corporation.
Brooks, Class of ’46, began his
A&M career in 1942 and was sent to
Europe a year later during World
War II. He returned to A&M in
June 1946 and graduated with an
electrical engineering degree in
June 1947.
“You could say he came to A&M
twice,” Stark said.
As a 1947 Rhodes Scholar, Brooks
attended St. John’s College at Ox
ford and received a Ph.D. in physics.
He later went to work for TRW
and dealt with a wide variety of pro
jects including lunar and planetary
exploration, scientific space mis
sions, communications satellites, and
many classified projects.
Austin may
trade share in
nuclear plant
Associated Press
AUSTIN — The Austin City
Council, meeting in closed sessions
this week, has been considering a
settlement proposal that would get
the city out of the controversial
South Texas Nuclear Project, it was
reported Thursday.
The Houston Lighting & Power
Co. proposal calls for Austin to get
part ownership of the Limestone
power project, a lignite-fueled plant
being built by the Houston utility in
East Texas, in exchange for Austin’s
16 percent share of the nuclear
power plant.
The settlement offer, which is
subject to further negotiation, calls
> for Austin to turn its share of the $5
billion-plus nuclear power plant
over to Houston Lighting & Power.
But the city would continue to
make weekly payments, which have
been averaging $2.5 million, until
the current $880 million share is
paid off, the American-Statesman
said, quoting sources close to the ne
gotiations.
The city has already paid about
$650 million for its share of the nu
clear plant. Austin would not be re
sponsible for any additional costs if
tne current $5.5 billion cost estimate
is exceeded.
In return, Austin would get part
ownership of the two generating
units of the plant in Limestone
County. The first lignite unit is
scheduled to be in operation in
1987, and the second in 1989 —
about the same time the two units of
the nuclear plant are scheduled for
operadon.
Austin would receive 400,000 ki
lowatts of capacity from the two lig
nite units, the same amount the city
would get from the nuclear project.
The agreement, which would be
subject to approval by the Texas
Public Utility Commission, calls for
Austin to drop a lawsuit filed in 1983
against HL&P over management of
the nuclear project.
It also calls lor the city to stay out
of proceedings scheduled early next
year by the Public Utility Commis
sion, which is to consider the rea
sonableness of the proposed set
tlement of a separate lawsuit by
Austin and the other partners in the
nuclear project against the former
engineer and builder, Brown & Root
Inc.
Van may lead FBI to woman’s slayer
t
or
Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — An unidenti
fied caller told a San Antonio bank
president to come up with a large
amount of money or his wife would
Tfc AscaA YftCrttve.wVs Nxe.'ioxe ^o\\ce
found the woman fata))y shot six
cimes at her affluent home.
The Wednesday slaying has
sparked a search by the FBI and
other law enforcement agencies for
a white van seen in the exclusive
neighborhood where Rebecca Jo
Patton, 42, was found sprawled in
the hallway of her home in the
Alamo Heights suburb of San Anto
nio.
Police found her body after her
husband, Frank Patton Jr., president
of Castle Hills National Bank, re
torted receiving a telephone call
rom a man demanding money.
The caller indicated Mrs. Patton
| would be harmed if a large amount
‘ of money was not produced.
Patton reportedly called police
immediately, but when they arrived
at the home Mrs. Patton was dead.
“The person who saw it (the van) believes it said ‘air
conditioning’ or something like that. What, if any con
nection, it has to this event is unknown, but we are try-
ing to identify that van and the driver.”
— Pat Cowley, a spokesman for the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.
On Thursday, officials focused on
a van described by a witness, FBI
spokesman Pat Cowley said.
The older model vehicle with
faded red lettering was seen in the
neighborhood, he said.
“The person who saw it believes it
said ‘air conditioning’ or something
like that,” Cowley said. “What, if any
connection, it has to this event is un
known, but we are trying to identify
that van and the driver.”
Investigators also questioned
other residents in the neighborhood
Thursday about the van and
whether they had noticed anything
EmJjuj the Siiftmcct
suspicious, he said.
Cowley said Mrs. Patton was shot
several times with a small caliber
weapon and there were no signs of a
struggle.
He said he could not theorize on
why the woman was shot before the
extortion money was turned over.
The FBI agent confirmed Patton
had gathered some money from the
bank and taken it to North Star Mall,
where the alleged extortionist told
him to wait for a telephone call. The
call never came.
Cowley said authorities have no
suspects and are not sure how many
m
people were involved.
“There was one phone call,” he’
said. “One person on the phone.
The possibility exists there were ac
complices.”
An autopsy was ordered on the
body, but results were not available
Thursday.
Mrs. Patton’s death was an
nounced during Wednesday night
services at First Presbyterian
Church, where a minister said she
was very active.
“We all prayed,” said the Rev. Jim
Singleton, a pastor at the church.
“There were lots of tears. She was so
loving, caring and compassionate.”
Singleton said Mrs. Patton and
her husband worked with junior
high youth.
“She has been about as model a
youth advisor as you’d want to see,”
he said. “She’s a tremendous
mother. Those kids are so well-ad
justed.”
The Pattons have two daughters,
Amy, 14, and Kathleen, 10.
