Goodwin Hall unsound,
will be torn down in ’88
By MIKE SULLIVAN
Staff Writer
The oldest building on campus,
Goodwin Hall, will be demolished
sometime in 1988 because it’s no
longer structurally sound, says Dr.
Charles McCandless, associate pro
vost and vice president for academic
affairs.
Goodwin Hall, which is between
Bizzell Hall and the Coke Building,
is the last campus building con
structed of the load-bearing ma
sonry wall structure, which is not
suited to the Texas A&M campus
soil.
Joe Estill, director of physical
planning, says the heavy structure of
the 84-year-old building is causing
the foundation to give way.
Dr. Billie Trail, assistant professor
in the English Language Institute
housed in Goodwin, says the ground
on A&M’s campus shifts, causing the
foundation of the building to sink
and crack.
Trail, who has worked in Good
win for the past four years, said the
shifting of the foundation causes
walls to separate and windows to
break in the three-story building.
Lois Wells, accounting assistant
for Educational Informational Serv
ices (EIS), also housed in Goodwin
Hall, says the north side of the build
ing, where her office is located, has
sunken drastically in the four years
she’s been working there.
“If any of the cracks in the
foundation become exag
gerated, we’re going to
ask the people to move
out. ”
— Joe Estill, director of
physical planning.
1973 after the oceanography and
meterology department moved to
the O&M Building.
At that time, however, the parks
and recreations department was
looking for another building and
was allowed to move into Goodwin
Hall and renovate the interior.
Wells says she taped a carpenter’s
level to the top of a file cabinet in her
office about a year ago, so she could
monitor the building as it shifts.
“I used to be able to see one-half
of the bubble (in the level), and now
it’s gone,” Wells says.
Delma Schasta, secretary for EIS,
used a pencil to demonstrate the
slope in the floor.
Schasta placed a pencil on the
floor against the south wall of the
room, and it rolled about 20 feet at a
steady pace to the north wall.
Estill says a recent structural study
of the building reported possible
problem areas to monitor.
“We’re keeping a very close watch
on it,” he says. “If any of the cracks
in the foundation become exagger
ated we’re going to ask the people to
move out.”
According to a Sept. 28, 1973, ar
ticle in The Battalion, Goodwin Hall
was scheduled to be demolished in
The renovations, which included
improved wiring and lighting, addi
tional air-conditioning units, new
flooring and ceilings, and low cost
particle board paneling, were done
by parks and recreations students in
order to keep costs down.
McCandless says the recent engi
neering study concluded that the ex
tensive structural problems with the
building would make further repair
too costly.
Goodwin Hall was erected in 1908
as an 82-room dormitory for
$53,500, and Estill says it will cost an
estimated $50,000 to be demolished.
McCandless says he hopes to find
new locations for the departments
now occupying Goodwin Hall within
the next two years.
The departments now housed in
the building include the English
Language Institute, EIS, Faculty
Senate offices and photographic
services.
McCandless says the highly desir
able area occupied by Goodwin Hall
will be used for an administration or
classroom building.
Convicted killer asks for stay of execution
HUNTSVILLE — A convicted killer who demanded
an execution date and put up for auction seats to view
his death changed his mind and asked for a stay of this
week’s scheduled execution as a “gift to his family,” his
attorney said Monday.
Another Texas death row inmate scheduled for exe
cution early Wednesday was denied a stay.
Roger DeGarmo, a 31-year-old drifter from Califor
nia, had asked that no efforts be made on his behalf to
stop his execution by injection, scheduled early
Wednesday.
Greg Gladden, the inmate’s attorney, said DeGarmo
decided to seek a reprieve after visiting with relatives
Saturday night.
According to Gladden, “It’s a gift to his family. He
still believes.it will cause him more pain and sacrifice
and punishment worse than death. But he was willing
to go along with the program for them. He apologized
for the inconvenience in the timing.”
A request for a stay was filed Monday with State Dis
trict Judge Charles Dickerson in Richmond and with
the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in Austin.
DeGarmo, one of 225 men on Texas’ death row, was
sentenced to death for the 1979 abduction and slaying
of Kimberly Ann Strickler, a Houston hematologist.
The inmate, known as “Animal,” gained notoriety
for his unique plan to sell at auction three of the five
witness spots a convict is allowed in the death chamber.
He said seven people offered bids — two of them at
$1,500 each — but he refused to identify the people.
The money would be divided between DeGarmo’s fam
ily and the family of the victim.
Bass, 29, was convicted in the 1979 slaying of a Hous
ton City Marshal Charles Henry Baker.
