Reporter
Johnson Elementary School stu
dents in Bryan will learn some of
their lessons in an unconventional
setting — an outdoor gazebo-like
classroom — thanks to the donated
time and skill of the Texas A&M As
sociation of General Contractors.
Joy Dyer, who became school
principal in 1984, said she wanted to
utilize existing bleachers on the
grounds.
“The former principal obtained a
grant and wooden bleachers were
built that seat about 100 people so
students could have class outside,”
Dyer said. “But they were built in the
sun.”
A parent and member of Brazos
Beautiful put Dyer in touch with
Robert Segner Jr., associate profes
sor of building construction at A&M
and faculty adviser for AGC. Segner
assigned the design phase of the
classroom to construction science
students, who competed to come up
with the best design. The group be
gan preliminary planning in August.
“About 25 students became pro
fessional contractors and were given
authority to make decisions concern
ing the project,” Segner said. “They
have maintained an excellent work
ing relationship with the client and
had minimal help from faculty
members.”
Project supervisor Doug Erck, a
senior construction science major,
said the pine-wood structure will
cover 1,700 square feet and the ceil
ing will be 18 feet at its highest point.
It is a multi-angled, house-framed
structure without walls.
If the weather stays nice, con
struction will be Finished before the
May 11 dedication ceremony, Erck
said.
“Everything worked without a
hitch,” he said. “Our crew started
April 4, and the job has gone
smoother than I thought it would.”
Dyer said the outdoor classnu
will l>e useful in many ways. Aa
the building is completed, the
around it will be landscaped vl
Texas plants and wildflowers.
“We will Ik? able to have regm
classes as well as science experiirti
and studies of different type#
plants and flowers,” she said, hi
kindergarten classes do a unN
pets and farm animals, and mu
they'll be able to bring their ptiB
school. The outdoor environntms
excellent for learning.”
Construction of the classic
Dver said, has involved manypto
pie. “We’ve gained a good raapoi
with A&M,” she said “Our pip
along with the students and thet®
munity, have gained from this.'
The Johnson Elementary Parent-
Teacher Organization collected
more than $4,100 in donations to
pay for supplies, and AGC provided
free skill and labor. Segner said the
project would have cost between
$ 10,000 and $15,000 if PTO mem
bers had hired a private contractor.
Reni Trotter’s kindergarten das
also agrees, hut it sees \he new das
room more as fun than as aiotte
learning environment. With
get s pointing toward the cotstra
tion site, the class ove'wheininf
agreed that the outcbor aril
would be its choice for lighetlear

‘Cuckoo’s Nesf actor
gets heart transplant
after serious illness
HOUSTON (AP) — Will Samp
son, the six-foot seven-inch actor
who starred in the movie version of
“One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,”
remained in critical condition
Thursday following a heart-lung
transplant, a spokesman at Method
ist Hospital said.
Sampson, 53, has been a patient at
the hospital for several weeks and on
the transplant list since April 6, she
said.
Sampson, who lives in Los An
geles, transferred to Methodist Hos
pital last month in order to wait for a
transplant, Dr. E. Clinton Lawrence,
Sampson’s physician said.
“He is critically ill and on life sup
port systems which is normal and
usual following such a transplant,”
spokesman Brenda Blake said.
Blake said the First 72 hours after
the surgery, which normally is a crit
ical period for transplant patients,
would be especially'so for Sampson
because of his age and poor physical
condition.
The overall long-term survival
rate of those undergoing the heart-
lung surgery is about 50 percent, he
said.
Since arriving in Houston, Samp
son has received visits from friends
and from family in Oklahoma, his
doctor said.
She said he had lost more than
100 pounds in recent months be
cause of schleroderma, a chronic de
generative condition often charac
terized by swelling of the skin. In the
actor’s case, the ailment affected his
heart and lungs, Blake said.
The actor received the donor or
gans from an Austin man who suf
fered a stroke Wednesday, Blake
said.
The eight-hour operation starting
about midnight was performed at
the Methodist Hospital-Baylor Col
lege of Medicine Multi-Organ
Transplant Center by a team of four
doctors, Blake said.
In “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s
Nest,” Sampson, a member of the
Creek Indian tribe, played an in
mate of a prison mental hospital.
Jack Nicholson starred in the Film.

Scientists prepare tests for drug
to protect soldiers from nerve go
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Military
researchers are preparing to test a
drug they hope will protect soldiers
from deadly nerve gas, officials said.
Scientists at Brooks Air Force
Base’s School of Aerospace Medicine
have set up a special laboratory to
monitor advanced testing of the
drug, called prydostigmine bromide.
Researchers are attempting to see
if the drug has side effects that
would hinder the ability of person
nel to accomplish complex tasks un
der stress.
The drug, which protects the
nerve endings from the gas, is con
sidered safe if taken in correct doses.
It would help troops function if they
wear protective suits, officials said.
“Think of it as protection,” said
Sam Schiflett, research psychologist
in charge of the lab. “You take it as
an antibody.
“We are trying to give Field com
manders operational guidelines and
assurances that ... 50 percent of
their troops will not be debilitated
because they took the drug.”
For the test, scientists have set up
a room, complete with computers
and radar screens, designed to simu
late the inside of an AW AC aircraft.
Those aircraft are used as an air
borne command post, monitoring
air traffic and battle progress.
By early next year, volunteers
from Tinker Air Force Base in Okla
homa, where AWACs are based, will
come to San Antonio for experi
ments.
The volunteers will be given the
drug and asked to perform stressful
tasks that would be demaded f
them in combat.
Clinical studies on animls, cot
ducted elsewhere around thtnatiot
already have determined M t!
drug will help protect troop, oft
cials said.
The drug has been on the aarH
for about 20 years and is usd pi
marily as a post-operative nedd
tion to stimulate digestion.
Schiflett said that taken into 1
doses the drug could have siri'i
side effects.
“We have some loss of central#,
vous system brain protection,
said.
Researchers at Brooks alrf'
have demonstrated during testily
pilots can use the drug without
verse effects.
