Sixteen Texas A&M dormitories
will undergo a complete facelift
thanks to a decision by the Texas
A&M Board of Regents. At its Jan.
26 meeting, the board approved a
plan for the total renovation of the
16 Corps-style dorms on campus.
Twelve of the dorms affected by
the regents’ decision are used to
house the Corps of Cadets. The
other dorms included in the plan are
Crocker, Davis-Gary, Moore and
Moses halls.
General Wesley Peel, vice chan
cellor for facilities planning and con
struction, said nearly $30 million will
be spent to renovate the dorms.
“We plan on spending $1.5 to $2
million on each dorm,” he said.
Peel said a contractor has not been
chosen, but the renovation will prob
ably begin in spring 1987. He esti
mated that the renovation will last
four to six years, although it could
go on as long as eight years.
Campus housing space will be re
duced as a consequence of the reno
vation, Peel said. But the exact
amount of housing lost each semes
ter has not been determined.
“Two to four dorms a year will be
renovated,” Peel said, “depending
on the amount of housing space the
University can spare.
“We’re hoping to do a good part
of the renovation during the sum
mer term,” he said, “when most of
the dorms will be vacant and the loss
of space will not affect the amount of
available housing so seriously.”
'"The 16 dorms included in the
renovation plan were built from
1940 to 1942. Peel said the dorms
have been upgraded over the years
but never completely renovated.
“These dorms will experience a
top-to-bottom renovation,” he said,
“and everything but the walls and
floors will oe torn out and replaced.”
Peel said the antiquated heating
systems and poor ventilation systems
in the sixteen dorms will be re
placed.
In addition, he said, nev
toilets and shower facilitiesv..W

Consultant says
physicians’ orders
were carried out
Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — Despite
claims by a state inspector, patients
at a Texas City nursing home re
ceived care ordered by their doctors
in 1978, a nursing consultant testi
fied Wednesday in a murder-by-ne-
glect trial.
Mattie Locke, an employee of Au
tumn Hills Convalescent Centers
Inc. for almost 18 years and a de
fendant in the case, testified prob
lems with charting patient records
resulted in the inspector’s complaint.
Locke’s testimony came in the
state’s murder trial against the nurs
ing home corporation and four of its
current and former employees.
They are charged with murder by
neglect in the Nov. 20, 1978, death
of Elnora Breed, 87.
The defense says Breed, who died
47 days after entering an Autumn
Hills home in Texas City, suffered
from a recurrence of colon cancer.
But prosecutors contend she was
killed by starvation and infection,
both brought on by inadequate nurs
ing care.
Locke, 44, is the first of the four
individual defendants to testify in
the trial, which began last Septem
ber.
The other individual defendants
are Autumn Hills president Robert
Gay, 58; vice president Ron Pohl-
meyer, 42; and Virginia Wilson, 63,
former administrator of the nursing
home.
Defense attorney Roy Minton
called Locke’s attention to a report
state health inspector Betty Korn-
dorffer made on an anonymous
complaint made against Autumn
Hills.
Korndorffer, who earlier testified
the nursing home was “a mess,” said
in the report the complaint indicated
nurses’ signatures and doctors’ sig
natures were being forged at Au
tumn Hills.
The complaint also alleged the
nursing home’s administrator was
falsifying reports on the facility’s
staffing.
In her report, Minton said, Korn
dorffer said her investigation was
unable to substantiate the forgery al
legation. The inspector also said
claims of staffing falsifications were
“ ‘possibly valid but we were unable
to substantiate them. ’ ”
The nursing home operated un
der state laws requiring a certain
number of skilled staffers on duty.
“Did you ever know anything
about this investigation at the time?”
Minton asked.
“Absolutely not,” Locke said.
Minton referred to another re
port Korndorffer made Feb. 23,
1978.
“ ‘We were extremely concerned
about several things,’ ” Minton read
from the report.
Of 99 patient charts reviewed, 71
of them snowed doctors’ orders were
not being followed, the report said.
“ ‘This is alarming, to say the
least, particularly when they have to
do with medication orders,’ ” the re
port said.
Locke said when she received the
report, she and the nursing home
chain’s pharmaceutical consultant
went to the Texas City home to try to
solve the problem. She said the nurs
ing home’s documentation system
was the cause of Korndorffer’s alle
gations.
“Were those prescriptions being
filled and were the patients receiving
the medications?” Minton asked.
“Yes, they were,” she said. “The
medications were getting to the pa
tients and the actual doctors’ orders
were being carried out.”

Politician asks peercj

Associated Press
AUSTIN — A Democratic candi
date for the Railroad Commission
called on his primary election oppo
nents Wednesday to refuse political
action committee donations and ac
cept campaign finance restrictions.
Dallas lawyer John Pouland said
voluntarily limiting campaign
spending to $500,000, rejecting con
tributions of more $5,000 per donor
and refusing to borrow money for
campaigns would greatly reduce
special interest influence.
In a letter to his three fellow Dem
ocratic candidates, Pouland also
asked them to agree to pay all cam

Pastor says society wonts you to forget
By GEORGEANN HUM

Reporter
Society is trying to make people
forget about God and their responsi
bilities, Ron Tewson, the off-campus
adviser to A&M Christian
Fellowship, said Wednesday night.
Tewson, who is also the pastor at
Fellowship Community Church, and
the fellowship gave about 300 stu
dents a look at sex and single life at
Texas A&M.
They presented what they felt was
God’s perspective of being single
and satisfied during their monthly
rally held in the Soil and Crops Sci-
ences-Entomology Center.
“Man is promoting a one-dimen
sional life,” Tewson said. “Huma-
“Christians are three-dimensional people — body, soul
and spirit, and God deals with people as a whole and
wants to weave every aspect of the person together. ”

nism is a nontheistic religion, an ac
cident in space and time.
“Society wants you to grab the
gusto and forget about your respon
sibilities.
“They are trying to get you to for
get about God.
“Our society has become a prod
uct of a sales hype to make a profit,”
said
Christians are three-dimensional
people — body, soul and spirit, and
God deals with people as a whole
and wants to weave every aspect of
the person together, he said.
Tewson referred to a People Mag
azine sin poll that said TV producers
know sin in the movies means big
bucks.
The television mini-series “Sins”
cost $14 million to make and expects
to profit by at least as much.
Tewson cited several facts about
sexually related issues:
• Venereal Disease is at an epide
mic rate in America, wit"|
new cases every day.
• Between the agesoflii
one in four Americans *1
some type of VD. ’
• One hundred sixty-onfl
die from AIDS every monlhr
• There is a rape in A®]

• A UCLA study cOflcM
out of three males would:

• By the time they reach'
of age, 50 percent of the^
population have had all
