Wednesday, July 1, 1987/The Battalion/Page 3 'with coupon State and Local dMSC adds international objects, i paintings to special collections By Jeannette Nicholson Reporter The Memorial Student Center, the home of special Aggie collections for many years, is now presenting two more additions to its family — a collection of international art objects by Leland ; and Jesse Jordan and a collection of paintings by the Texas Artisans titled “Color of Motion.” The MSC has played a large part in keeping Aggie traditions alive through its display of spe cial collections donated to Texas A&M by its pa trons. The MSC Student Lounge is the home of the i Texian Campaign Staffordshire China, circa 1850. The china commemorates the Texian cam paign led by Gen. Zachary Taylor against Mexico : from 1846 to 1847. The china is featured in the original six colors produced by Staffordshire Potteries in England I and was donated by Mr. and Mrs. H.C. Helden- I fels as a permanent addition. The corridor between the MSC cafeteria and ; the Student Lounge hosts a display of six centen- i nial wood carvings tracing A&M’s history from | 1876 to 1976. The carvings were commissioned | by the Association of Former Students to be done by Susan and Rodney Hill in 1974 and were car ved from 8-by-3 foot American black walnut pan- j els, each weighing about 200 pounds. Each panel is a permanent addition represent- i ing a different part of A&M ranging from agri- [ culture to veterinary medicine ana science. For gun enthusiasts, the MSC offers the Metzger-Sanders Gun Collection. This is a collec tion of antique firearms located in Room 342 commemorating significant historical U.S. events. The Jordan Institute of International Aware ness with its collection of international art ob jects, opened to the general public Monday, said i ane Bailey, adviser to the Institute. The objects ave been donated by Jesse Jordan in the mem ory of her husband, Leland Jordan, to help fos ter an interest in A&M students to work and visit overseas. Jordan also has given A&M a $1 million en dowment. The interest earned from the endow ment will help fund various programs by provid ing scholarships to students interested in overseas travel, Bailey said. Most of the art objects were gifts to the Jor dans from various dignitaries during the almost 30 years they spent overseas. The objects include S ifts from Queen Elizabeth II and the royal fam- y, the Shah of Iran, Indira Gandhi, a pope and a Japanese prime minister. Bailey said the collection even includes a ruby bracelet once belonging to Queen Victoria. Just as priceless are some works composed of jade, ti ger’s eye, ivory, crystal and gold-inlaid silver. Beginning this week, the Jordan Institute will be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 g .m. Information can be obtained from Stephen iles, adviser to the foundation’s student com mittee and the MSC Student Conference on Na tional Affairs at 845-5722.

Paramedic sentenced for murder, assault SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A sus- nded paramedic was sentenced to ife in prison Tuesday after he ad- itted slaying his teen-aged step- aughter, whose body may be bur- ed under tons of garbage. Ray Moberg, 40, was sentenced to nother life term and five 20-year onsecutive terms after pleading uilty to burglary and five charges of exual assault on children. Two of the sexual assault charges 1 involved Moberg’s other daughter, ! an 8-year-old. The life terms will run concurrently with the consecutive terms. Deborah Suzette Moberg, 18, dis appeared Jan. 9, and hundreds of family members, friends and neigh bors searched for her during the early spring. In a confession, Moberg said he had broken into his ex-wife’s home on Jan. 9, and when the girls entered a snort time later, he shot the 18- year-old twice with a .22-caliber pis tol. He said he handcuffed the younger girl, took her to a car, put her sister’s body in the trunk and drove around while trying to decide what to do with the body. He said af ter putting the body in a trash bin, he then went to a motel. The 8-year- old was released the next day and told authorities she had been sex ually molested. Deborah Moberg’s body is now believed to be in a private landfill, and authorities are trying to con vince landfill owners to allow them to search it, Bexar County District Attorney Fred Rodriguez said. Janie Moberg, the slain woman’s mother, said, “I always wanted to be able to find Debbie alive. But hear ing it today from Ray that he con fesses to murdering her, I guess I will never be able to give her that one last kiss.” In the plea bargain, prosecutors agreed to dismiss several other sex ual assault cases and not seek capital murder or aggravated kidnapping indictments against Moberg. Rodriguez said, “Sending Ray Moberg to prison with two life sen tences and five others totaling 100 years provides justice for the victims and spares the victims further pain and suffering.” Assistant District Attorney Tina Tussay said Moberg expressed some remorse about the slaying. “He really did not give us an ex planation as to why it happened,” she said. “Just that it did happen. What he did state in the confession was that unfortunately he had taken Debbie’s life through this ordeal, and if he could do something to change that, he would.” W v 11 I 9 1C Wednesday ~ T p- 1 B Rudder.

DEA agent gets lucky break, finds 415 pounds of cocaine EL PASO (AP) — A “once-in-100 years” break helped smash a major Colombian cocaine ring when a fed eral drug agent stumbled across 415 pounds of the drug in a house he was selling, officials said Tuesday. Five men, including two Colombi ans and a former Mexican police of ficer, were arrested after the cocaine was found in the home of the Drug Enforcement Administration agent, said Ernie Perez, agent in charge of the El Paso DEA office. DEA agent David M. Petz was making a last-minute sweep through the home he was selling when he found 415 pounds of cocaine the new owner had stashed in boxes in side a closet, a DEA affidavit said. After staking out the house for three days, five men were arrested Friday night. Officer calls 2 killed in crash safe pilots, not ‘hotdoggers’ Police Beat loiDJ tisno' The following were reported to the University Police Depart ment from June 23 through Monday: MISDEMEANOR THEFT: A student reported someone stole the right rear wheel of her 1983 silver Porsche. Someone removed 41 street signs from the A&M Research Park. INDECENT EXPOSURE: A non-student reported that she observed a male expose him self in the MSC Fountain area. AUSTIN (AP) — The pilot and co-pilot of an Army Reserve heli copter that crashed at Fort Hood, killing them and eight others, were so safety-conscious they were called “the two grandmas,” their com manding officer said. Disputing claims of witnesses who said the pilots were “hotdogging” was Col. Clifford Cantrell, com mander of the 353rd Engineer Group of Oklahoma City. “It’s hurt us a lot here because it’s almost inconceivable to us that these people would be guilty of any kind of aberrations in their operation of aircraft,” Cantrell told the Austin American-Statesman Monday. The newspaper earlier reported that three witnesses, all Texas Guardsmen, had characterized the helicopter’s flight as “hotdogging.” Pilot Robert E. Fisher, 42, and co pilot Bruce E. Lyons, 40, died June 22 when a UH-1 Huey helicopter crashed during the annual summer training exercise of the Texas Army National Guard’s 49th Armored Di vision and its Army Reserve support elements.
