Conference to highlight
art of Spanish Civil War
By Olivier Uyttebrouck
Staff Writer
On April 26, 1936, about 200 days
into the Spanish Civil War, Hitler’s
“Luftwaffe” used an experimental
form of warfare called the blitzkrieg
to destroy the town of Guernica, the
spiritual center of the Basque people
of northeastern Spain.
The horror of that first large-scale
fire-bombing 50 years ago is recalled
in Pablo Picasso’s painting, “Guerni
ca.”
The Spanish Civil War and the
vast body of art and literature it
inspired are the subjects of a confer
ence to be held at the College Station
Hilton Thursday through Saturday.
The conference is sponsored by
the Society for Exile Studies and the
Texas A&M Department of Modern
Languages.
This conference is something of a
break with tradition for The Society
for Exile Studies, which has spon
sored 10 such conferences.
In the past, the conferences have
dealt mainly with German writers
and artists who fled their homes
during Hitler’s rise to power, Texas
A&M language professor Wulf
Koepke says.
But since this year marks the 50th
anniversary of the bombing of Guer
nica — the event that introduced the
world to the problem of refugees
fleeing the onslaught of modern air
and artillery warfare — a conference
on the Spanish Civil War seemed ap
propriate, Koepke says.
The conference, entitled “The
Literature of the Spanish Civil War,”
will draw speakers from 35 universi
ties and six nations.
Twelve sessions, featuring three
to five speakers each, will focus on
specific topics such as propaganda,
film, photography and nistorical
topics, Koepke says.
One of tne highlights of the con
ference is a rare French film, "L’Esp-
oir,” based on an Andre Malraux
novel about a pilot with the Republi
can forces that opposed Francois Na
tionalist army, Koepke says.
Several papers dealing with Mal
raux are scheduled to be presented
prior to the Friday night snowing of
the film.
Registration costs $30 and will
take place from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Wednesday at the College Station
Hilton.

A&M’s Dairy Cattle Center provides
research, teaching, extension service
By Leigh Ann Rogers
Reporter
The cows on the Texas A&M campus don’t
think Brenham is heaven. They couldn’t get any
more tender loving care there than they get at
the A&M Dairy Cattle Center.
The dairy center, located northwest of campus
on F&B Road, encompasses 450 acres, 200 of
which are used as improved pasture and hay
land.
Dr,. Carl E. Coppock, director of the dairy, says
the old dairy was based in buildings — one for
feeding and one for breeding. Thus, F&B Road
got its name.
Coppock says the center provides research,
teaching and extension activities. The center also
produces milk for the A&M Creamery and for
the American Milk Producers Institute.
The dairy's milking herd consists of 125 to 135
registered Holsteins — larger cows that produce
a greater milk volume with a lower protein and
fat percentage; 60 to 70 registered Jerseys which
produce a lower milk volume with a higher per
centage of fat and protein; and an equal number
of heifers.
The heifers are bred to calve primarily in Au
gust because milk and milk products, wnich are
processed and distributed on campus, have the
neaviest demand in the fall.
Robin Weeks, a senior animal science major,
has worked at the dairy for two years. Weeks says
that, depending on the season, 13 to 17 students
work at the dairy center.
She says the students do everything to keep
the farm running.
Coppock says A&M’s program is small, with
only 25 dairy science majors, But the program is a
quality one compared to larger dairy schools.
He says the center follows a rigorous daily
schedule, The cattle are milked twice a day, once
at 12:30 p.m. and again at 1 a.m.
Jeff Craig, a junior animal science major, J
the cows are washed and checked for dis
twice before they are milked directly into a it)j
bulk tank.
Craig says all the cows at the center are r.|
dally inseminated.
“T his saves on upkeep of bulls and makesisj
quality cow, because you can choose the sire,':
says.
Coppock says the milk is taken from then
and cooled twice, once on a plate coolett
again when it reaches the bulk tank,
Weeks said the hulk tank holds 10,000;
and is emptied about every two dayi,
Coppock says the system is cleaned in [J
with interior sanitizers and rinse cyclei.
"It is important to clean the equipmenu:
keep everytning perfect," Coppock wyi."Wtij

Women seeking political offices
in record numbers statewide
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Women
are seeking major offices in record
numbers, paving inroads from the
courthouse to Congress that tradi
tionally have remained male-domi
nated territory.
Next month’s statewide ballot fea
tures only one woman from a major
party as Treasurer Ann Richards, a
Democrat, seeks re-election. How
ever, three Texans are among the 64
women battling for spots in the U.S.
House.
The Libertarian party, after peti
tioning for places on the Nov. 4 bal
lot, has fielded three women for
statewide posts, including guberna
torial hopeful Theresa Doyle, a San
Antonio housewife.
Although some experts point to
the historic candidacy in -1984 of
Geraldine Ferraro, they said the un
successful vice presidential candi
date is not the only reason behind
the surge of women candidates.
“Women have matured in the po
litical process,” said Jeannine Gre
nier, a spokeswoman for the Wash
ington-based National Women’s
Political Caucus and editor of Wom
en’s Political Times.
Judith Zaffirini, former vice
chairwoman of the Texas Demo
cratic Party, is running against for
mer state Rep. Bennie Bock of New
Braunfels for a state Senate seat.
“Women have always been in
volved in politics as workers,” Zaffi
rini, a Laredo businesswoman, told
the San Antonio Light. “Now,
they’re taking that natural step to
candidates.”
Cyndi Taylor Krier, Texas’ only
female state senator, said there are
some advantages to being a woman
in government.
“Sometimes it’s an advantage to
stick out,” said Krier, only the sixth
women to serve in the Texas Senate.
In Bexar County, major political
parties have nominated a record
number of women to locally elected
offices this year.
“You have women running for
(Bexar County) Commissioners
Court where no woman has served,"
Krier said. "You have women run
ning for both district court and
county court. I don’t know any of
these candidates who I say aren’t
credible candidates.”
Zaffirini and other female candi
dates said their gender has not be
come a campaign issue, but some
said it could be a disadvantage.
Susan Reed, a Republican hopeful
for the 144th state district judgeship,
said that there may be a perception
that a woman would be more lenient
with defendants.
To counter that
perception,
lit years’ e:
Reed
encce as a state prosecutor.
Her opponent, county court-at-
law judge Jay Miller, also is counting
on his experience to get him elected.
“I don’t see (Reed's gender) as ei
ther an advantage or disadvantage,”
Miller said.
