At a lakeside marina, boats trickle
in as the sun slips behind the trees.
Fish tales echo across a calm lake as
fishermen exchange the day’s
events. Some have had a better aay
than others, but they’ll all tell you
that Lake Somerville usually means
good Fishing.
What they probably won’t men
tion, though, is that Lake Somerville
does more than provide recreation
to thousands of tourists and locals
annually. Some of them, in fact,
don’t know why the lake came into
existence.
“Flood control and water supply
are the primary reasons the Somer
ville project was ever undertaken,”
says Martin Gustafson, U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers reservoir man
ager. “The recreation aspect is
merely a biproduct.”
Back at the marina, an old man
stood on the corner of the dock with
a cane pole held patiently over the
surface of the water.
“I just come here to catch my sup
per,” he says. “Couldn’t care less
about flood control.”
The U.S. Army Corps of Engi
neers, Fort Worth District, maintains
21 other similar projects in Texas
that were responsible for about $216
million in Hood damage prevention
in 1986, and almost $2 billion since
their construction.
Corps of Engineers economists
determine the dollar value of flood
damage prevention by observing
high water flow on a given stream
and estimating the value of property
which would have been damaged
had the project not been in place.
“The planning, design, and im
plementation of a project is a com
plex process,” Gustafson says.
Generally, he says, the project is
initiated by local residents who per
ceive that a problem exists.
Through government channels
an initial study is funded which,
upon congressional authorization,
may lead to construction.
Somerville Dam was built by the
Corps of Engineers between 1962
and 1967. It provides flood protec
tion or assistance in reducing flood
damages for almost 900,000 acres of
land along the Brazos River and Ye
gua Creek, a principal tributary of
the Brazos.
Since its construction, it has pre
vented over $31 million in flood
damages, $717,500 in 1986 alone. It
also serves as a water supply for
Brenham.
“I had no idea that Somerville was
a flood control project,” Peter Siegel,
ajunior math major, says. “It’s some
thing you never really think about
when you’re out there on the lake.
I’m just glad it’s there.”

DALLAS (AP) — Dallas County
employees who call “976” numbers
at $2 each during working hours will
have to pay for the calls, say county
auditors who are tallying up the
damage to government phone bills.
In December, county employees
calling from more than 100 exten
sions made more than 300 calls to
the seven-digit numbers that con
nect them with a pre-recorded mes
sage on anything from soap operas
to Bible readings, officials say.
County Auditor Joe Jack Mills
said county workers will have to
come up with the cash to pay tor the
calls, in accordance with a policy is
sued in mid-November.
But Mills doesn’t expect to be paid
for all the calls.
“A lot of people were duped into
making the calls,” said Mills, explain
ing that pranksters in some offices
may have tricked unsuspecting co
workers by leaving phony messages
to call the 976 numbers.
The number dialed most often by
county employees is that of the
“Love Doctor,” who offers X-rated
advice over the phone, officials said.

taurants with scores of 95 or above generally have excellent opmi
and facilities. Jefferson says restaurants with scores in the 70s orb*!:
usually have serious violations in the health report.
Scores can be misleading, Jefferson says because restaurants

cions. He says the major violations can lye corrected during the imp
tion. Point deductions, or violations, in the rep<yrt range from onepM

Jefferson says the department might close a restaurant if: the

adequate refrigeration, there is a sewage backup in the buildingJ
restaurant has a complete lack of sanitization for the food equipm
The department insptects each restaurant every six months.Jtlh

Although Aggie Muster occurs all
over the world, many students grad
uate without knowing anything
about the tradition, a Muster com
mittee member told the crowd at
Sully’s Symposium Wednesday af
ternoon.
Committee member Thomas
Hanes, appearing as part of a cam
paign to increase student awareness
about Muster, said, “We want to get
the students involved now so
throughout their lives they will par
ticipate in and carry on this tradi
tion.”
Committee hnember Russell Pull
iam said there is a table in the MSC
hallway to inform students and an
swer any questions they may have
about Muster.
Aggie Muster was first held iri
1883 when former students got to-
Russell Pulliam
gether to relive their victories and
defeats both on the drill field and in
the classroom. Banquets and parties
were held during the commence
ment activities, Pulliam said.
An incident in 1903 made Muster
what it is today, he said.
Former Texas A&M president
Davis F. Houston scheduled classes
on what was traditionally a track and
field day held to commemorate San
Jacinto Day. The Corps of Cadets
stormed the president’s house in
sisting upon some observance of the
battle that won Texas its indepen
dence. It was agreed that April 21
would be a time to honor Aggies
who had died in the past year.
Aggie Muster achieved interna
tional recognition in 1942, when 25
Aggies under the command of Gen
eral George Moore, Class of ’08,
held Muster while under Japanese
Fire on Corrigedor Island in the
Philippines. Subsequently, each of
them was captured by the Japanese
or killed, Pulliam said.
Although Muster ceremonies
around the world are like reunions,
Pulliam said, the A&M ceremony is
solemn. A speech is given and then a
roll call is taken for all of the de
ceased Aggies who lived inf
County or who have beenreip
to be in the campus Muster.All
time a candle is lighted tosynfc
that they are still with us in?
The committee invites the fe
of the deceased to hold the ffl*
The speaker for thisyeariM
