DR. JENNIE R. PATRICK
AN EXCEPTIONAL SCIENTIST
The fighting spirit of a determined young woman is just
one of many qualities possessed by the first black woman
in the U.S. to earn a doctoral degree in Chemical Engi
neering. Dr. Patrick grew up during the Civil rights era,
achieving an education while also helping to intergrate her
high school. She received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering
from the University of California at Berkeley and later her
doctorate from MIT. She is currently a senior research en
gineer at the Phillip Morris Research Center in Richmond,
Va. She is an excellent scientist.

Even though the Texas A&M vol
leyball team is still without a coach,
that didn’t stop two of Texas’ top
high school players from committing
to the Aggies.
San Antonio Churchill’s Yvonne
Van Brandt, a 5-foot-7 setter, signed
her letter of intent yesterday.
Van Brandt led the Chargers to a
38-0 record and the Class 5A State
Championship.
“I am excited,” Van Brandt said.
“I was really nervous before I
signed. I don’t know if it’s really hit
me yet that it’s all over.”
Van Brandt picked the Aggies
over LSU, Sam Houston State,
Southwest Texas State and Wyom
ing.
“My goal was to play in the South
west Conference,” Van Brandt said.
“A&M has always been my top
choice in both academics and athlet-

“I’m very excited,” said the 5-foot-

go to A&M.”
Clifford said she was considering
Texas-Arlington just in case A&M
didn’t offer her a scholarship.
“I was thinking about UTA if I
didn’t hear from A&M,” she said.
“But A&M’s always been my first
choice.”

Fishermen like to talk about the
“big one that got away.”
Even though Texas A&M had
perhaps its best recruiting day ever
Wednesday, the Aggies were talking
about the prize recruit that escaped
their net.
Hempstead’s Harvey Williams,
the most sought after running back
in the state, pulled the first surprise
of the recruiting season Monday
when he announced he had nar
rowed his choices to A&M and LSU.
Everyone, including his high
school coach, Robert Kinney, and
the A&M coaches had expected Wil
liams to commit to the Aggies.
The second and biggest surprise
came Wednesday morning when
Williams announced he would be
spending the next four years in Ba
ton Rouge, La. at Louisiana State.
The 6-foot-2, 209-pound Wil
liams, using his 4.35 speed, broke
“Maybe there were too
many reasons to go here
(A&M) and not enough to
go somewhere else, if that
makes sense. ”
— A&M Coach
Jackie Sherrill
All-Pro Eric Dickerson’s 3A career
rushing mark. As the 15th ranked
player in the nation by Houston
scout Max Emfinger, Williams was
the prize of recruiters across the na
tion.
A&M was believed to have the in
side track for Williams because Ag
gie All-America linebacker Johnny
Holland is also from Hempstead,
friend Lance Pavlas had already
committed to the Aggies and Wil
liams had developed a close
relationship with A&M Assis
Coach Ceorge Pugh.
But it was not to be.
“I’m not going to jump
building,” A&M Coach JackieSl»
rill said of Williams’ decisonn
attend A&M. “Harvey’s a good
ball player and a good person.
“Young men nave a toughd
sion to make. Maybe there vinta
many reasons to go here (A&Vij
not enough to go somewhereektj
that makes sense. Sometimes wen
peel kids to do something, anditj
turn around and do somethingel
Life goes on.”
Sherrill did get one runningh
Wednesday. Grand Prairie's
Marcus signed on the Aggies'dotij
line.
While the Tigers stopped i

Houston 71, Rice 69
HOUSTON — Houston’s Ricky
Jackson hit a longjumper at the final
buzzer to cap a wild comeback and
give the Cougars a 71-69 victory
over Rice Wednesday night.
The Owls were on the brink of de
feating the Cougars for the second
time this season with a 69-68 lead
when Houston’s Greg Anderson and
Rice’s Richard Holmes were ejected
from the game for fighting with
three seconds to play.
Each team was awarded two tech
nical fouls and Alvin Franklin, who
led Houston with 29 points, hit both
of his shots and Rice’s Ivan Petitt
sank only one for a 69-69 deadlock.
The Cougars then got the ball out
of bounds and Renaldo Thomas
flipped the ball to Jackson, appear
ing in the game for the first time.
Jackson let his shot fly from the
sidejust before the buzzer sounded.
Before going into the game, Jack-
son told roommate Earl Small he was
going into the game and win it.
“I told him I was going to try to
get off the last shot and be the hero,”
Jackson said. “Coach (Guy) Lewis
just said go in and shoot your nor
mal shot, and that’s what I did.”
Rice had the ball and a one-point
lead with three seconds left when a
fight started by Houston’s Anderson
allowed the Cougars to tie the score
and get the ball out of bounds.
