Merit award given
to former leader
of Corps of Cadets
By Dawn Butz
Staff Writer
The Legion of Merit Award for
30 years of service to the armed
forces was presented Monday to for
mer Corps Commandant Col. Don
ald L. Burton.
As Brig. Gen. Myrna Williamson
presented Burton with the award,
she told him it wasn’t often that she
had the chance to present such a dis
tinguished award to a student.
Burton retired from his position
as Corps commandant and head of
the Department of Military Science
in August and is working on his doc
torate in industrial engineering.
“I expect that anytime you need to
come back, Don, and get some coun
seling, we would be be happy to have
you partake of all these officers’
counseling on your grade-point av
erage . . . and maybe assign you a big
brother to help you through,” Wil
liamson said, adding that she ex
pected Burton to lead the honor
rolls.
Burton said that he wasn’t sure if
he would take advantage of the of
fer, but that he would definitely
check the quiz file.
The Legion of Merit Award was
presented to Burton for service that
included the following positions:
• U.S. Army 17th Field Artillery
Brigade commander,
• Chief of staff of the U.S.
Army’s 3rd Infantry Division,
YS
Col. Donald L. Burton
• Professor of military science at
A&M.
Burton said he sees things from
an entirely different perspective
than he did in his former job, and as
sured the general and the crowd that
from his new perspective he can see
that the Army program is in excel
lent shape.
“The appearance, the attitude,
and the general mental well-being of
the cadets in the Corps is excellent,”
he said.
While at A&M, Burton was instru
mental in the addition of women to
all phases of the Corps of Cadets,
and was a major promoter of the
first coed dorm on campus.
Dallas woman trying to halt
nuclear plant construction
DALLAS (AP) — Finding a place
to sit in Juanita Ellis’ living room
takes a lot of luck.
Her house, and her life, are con
sumed by a 12-year fight with build
ers of the Comanche Peak nuclear
power plant. The facility is under
construction near Glen Rose, about
80 miles south of Dallas.
Ellis, a 50-year-old former book
keeper, has almost single-handedly
slowed construction of tne plant.
“Frankly, Juanita is the opposition
to the plant,” said Billie Game of the
Government Accountability Group,
a Washington-based watchdog that
has helpect Ellis.
“Her single-minded perserver-
ance, which I’m sure the opponents
sometimes call obsession, has not let
anything significant fall through the
cracks.”
Her house is a pack rat’s dream. It
is full of documents on the nuclear
industry. She gave up on using her
couch, carting it off and replacing it
with tall metal shelves stuffed with
records.
Ellis is president of Citizens Asso
ciation for Sound Energy. Her
weapons include a desktop copying
machine and computer, more than
$100,000 in contributions and help
from about 100 whistle-blowing for
mer plant workers.
The plant is 94 percent complete,
and its price tag is $5.46 billion and
climbing. It faces at least two more
years of licensing battles before it
can open.
Ellis said she has often been at the
breaking point, but she keeps going
because “it’s just about impossible to
stop in midstream."
Tony Roisman, a lawyer who has
joined the Comanche Peak case, said
Ellis has a “natural instinct" for
working within the legal system dur
ing licensing hearings.
That ability shocked officials of
Texas Utilities Electric Co., principal
owner of the plant. Four years ago,
those officials mocked Ellis for her
lack of engineering knowledge.
Today, some of them have been
removed from their jobs because of
construction flaws brought to light
by Ellis.

Big Tex says his last ‘How-dee folks!’ of 1986
DALLAS (AP) — It’s all over but the cleaning
up. On its 100th birthday, the State Fair of Texas
ended a month-long run.
“It cost too much,” said Randy Duvall of Dal
las.
“I liked the fun house,” said Tandinika Smith,
7, of Fort Worth.
“And the little Ferris wheel,” added her
mother, Patricia Smith.
“I’m sad, but I’ll be glad to be going home,”
said game operator Jo McMullan.
All were leaving the fair Sunday night as Big
Tex bellowed his last “How-dee folks!”
He’ll get a vacation until next October, when
the fair returns to a 17-day schedule.
“Going into it with 31 days, we were not sure
what to expect,” fair spokeswoman Nancy Wiley
said, “but things have gone exceedingly well.”
Closing attendance Figures were up, and crime
was down, she said.
