nationally, behind only Harvard and
Columbia.
Professor Michael Hitt, head of the
department, said the department
had been working hard to achieve
national visiblity.
“Obviously we’re very pleased to
be listed as the top management de
partment or even among the top
three departments, particularly con
sidering the quality of the competi
tion,” he said.
“The ranking supports the quality
work by our management faculty and
Texas A&M, as we’ve been able to
attract outstanding scholars.”
The report, which will be pre
sented at the Southern Management
Association’s November meeting in
Atlanta, ranks the nation’s top 22
management departments. The
study w as conducted by Scott Young,
Warren Blumenfield, Caron St.John
and John Angelidis of Georgia State
University.
Texas A&M and the University of
Houston were the only tw'o Texas
schools ranked nationally. Texas
A&M, Houston, Southern Methodist
University and the University of
Texas at Austin departments were in
cluded among Texas universities
listed in the top 1 1 rankings for the
South.
The criteria developed by the two
publications consider the number
and quality of scholarly articles that
were published from each depart
ment, as well as the quality of the
publications in which they appear.
Results were based on publication
from 1981 to 1984.

Terrorism of
Houston’s oil
Industry
possible
I HOUSTON (AP) — Although
hi any of the 150 chemical plants
#nd refineries lining the Houston
Ship Channel are stepping up
lecurity measures, an expert says
■5 percent of the companies are
Biadequately protected from pos
sible terrorist attacks.
I Michael Guidry, a former hos-
lage negotiator for the state of
■ exas, said, “It’s not time to get
■cared about terrorism. It’s a time
to get educated about terrorism.
It’s time to form a plan and resolve
4ny potential problems.”
Guidry is studying security
Aroblemin Houston-area indust
rial complexes for a report sche
duled for release this summer. He
said Houston's oil industry makes
the area a likely target for possible
terrorism attacks.
I Lt. Cmdr. Pedro Filipowski of
the U.S. Coast Guard in Galveston
also cautioned the channel area
qbout terrorist attacks.
I “We can’t ignore the possibility
ol a terrorist strike at a U.S. water
front,” Filipowski said. “To be
honest, I am bewildered there has
not been one. There are easy
ftirgets all over the place.”
Rains relieve Texas droughts;
farmers foresee new problems
DALLAS (AP) — Heavy rainfalls
that have flooded wide sections of
Texas over the past few weeks have
replenished some drought-stricken
reservoirs and left behind a mixed
blessing for farmers who feared
another dry summer.
During the weekend, most of the
state took a breather from severe
weather that has steadily soaked the
state since May 25, claiming at least
1 1 lives.
Ironically, the same storms are
giving life to Texas crops that
appeared to be headed for a dry sum
mer, said Bill Braden, a spokesman
for the Texas Agricultural Extension
Service at Texas A&M University.
The National Weather Service re
corded 6.52 inches of rainfall at the
Dallas-Fort Worth International Air
port during May and 2.41 so far in
June. The May total was 2.25 inches
above normal, said Fort Worth
meteorologist Tommy Trimble, but
far from the 1982 record of 18.66.
Trimble said the total is not un
usual but the continuous high
humidity, the rain and the high num
ber of clouds are.
With the drought of 1984 still
fresh in the minds of many Texans,
the rains are considered a precious
commodity.
“As far as the month of May is con
cerned, by and large (rains) have
been beneficial (for crops) except in a
few areas, particularly in the winter
garden area west of San Antonio,”
Braden said. “I wouldn’t go so far as
to say the moisture is enough to get us
through the summer, but it’s enough
to get us into the summer.”
The rains also have increased the
Edwards and Ogallala acquifer levels
and filled numerous reservoirs,
lakes, basins, creeks and rivers, offi
cials said.
Last week, the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers announced it would be re
leasing w ater from 18 of 23 operating
lakes, which cover about two-thirds
of the state.
Sally Werst, a corps spokeswoman,
said the lakes have reached flood
pool stage and waters must be re
leased dowmstream to prevent them
from spilling over.
M ax Woodfin, a Texas Water
Commission spokesman, said Falcon
Lake, located on the border with
Mexico in far South Texas, rose ab
out four to five feet.
But officials are wondering if the
rains may be a factor in a major fish
kill that started at Falcon Dam and
continued about three miles down
stream, Woodfin said.
John Williams, a spokesman for
the Lower Colorado River Authority,
said for the first time in four years the
Authority opened the flood gates at
Lake Buchanan, which has reached
its maximum elevation level.
Williams said the rains have given
the Authority and its customers the
benefit of additional capacity from
hydroelectric power plants.
Braden said West Texas benefitted
most from the rain. Farmers waiting
for a little more moisture before
planting can now go ahead, he said.
The rain also has helped Texas gras
ses and pastures for cattle grazing.
But Joe Pena, a Texas agricultural
extension agent in Uvalde, said about
1,500 acres of onions may rot in the
fields because rains have made the
soil too muddy for harvest.
Pena also said some cantaloupes
must be harvested because the rain
has speeded their growth and they
could burst before they’re picked.
But he said the rain was a “welcome
relief” for the corn, sorghum and
grasses in South Texas.
Braden said there will be some los
ses to the North Texas and South
Plains wheat crop because of wet
fields.
“It’s difficult to say if the overall is a
negative or a positive,” he said. “We
have been in a drought, so therefore
the rains were very welcome.”
