HOUSTON (AP) — A new pro
duction company has completed
four exercise videos that feature a
different twist — people who are
athletic but aren’t professional ath
letes with picture-perfect bodies.
The videos follow the program of
a fitness professional and use back
drops meant to be eye-catching even
after several viewings, Steven Jones,
who produced the videos for his 21st
Century MediaCorp Inc., said.
Jones and Chris Silkwood, a lec
turer and fitness consultant, con
cluded some exercise tapes feature
performers who exercise all the time
and have sculpted bodies. That isn’t
always the best idea, they say.
Performers used in the tape range
from a business owner who likes to
exercise to a former Olympic athlete
— people who are athletic but not
professional athletes.
Jones wants to distribute the tapes
to video retailers, sporting goods
stores and health clubs.
The tapes were produced in
Houston and the performers were
shot against a blue set, allowing dif
ferent backdrops to be inserted into
the final print.
The 52-minute full body aerobics
tape has a background of space and
sea, the 24-minute stretch tape has
an aquarium full of fish in the back,
the 36-minute couples tape is backed
up by great paintings and the 42-
minute tape for people 50 and over
features pictures of far away places.
Jones said he also has been ex
ploring possibilities for tapes for
children on academic subjects and
games, more sports-oriented tapes
and a medical series.

The three-dimensional cutouts in
the Langford Architecture Center
aren’t only works of art for Environ
mental Design 104 students, but also
are personal statements about each
artist.
Dr. Hadley Smith, visiting profes
sor in the College of Architecture,
assigned her students a project that
would show obvious, recognizable
features about the artist and hidden
qualities of the artist that aren’t ob
vious to strangers who see them.
“I devised this project as a way of
helping design students sense them
selves, because they are the sources
of their design,” Smith says. “It gives
the student a chance to explore his
inner self.”
This project can help the students
in all areas of environmental design,
because every work of art possesses
some of the artist’s personality,
Smith says. Therefore, any chance
the artists have to find out about and
explore themselves helps in all of
their work, she says.
“It also reminds us to see others as
more than just cookie-cutter stam-
pouts,” Smith says. “We are all di
verse with many levels of complexity
and talents.”
Smith wants the students to show
the feelings and energy within them
selves. This interpretation can be
hard, she says.
“The students have to give an abs
tract meaning a visual form at a very
personal level,” she says.
One of the projects is a cutout of a
girl sitting with her arms up and
wings extending from her arms.
Alane Ebner, a sophomore environ
mental design major from Houston,
chose this because she often sits in
the position her project portrays.
She wanted to show thatsht
an outgoing personality, butstif
not know how, she says.
“That night I had a dreamai
was flying,” Ebner says. “I hadit
noticed before, but I have often!
dreams where I could fly.
“The project made me fd
qualities about myself that I tool
f ramed. For example, howouf
am, my curious nature and;
gullible I am.”
Smith says this project gavt
students a chance to celebrated!
selves, and they explored thepit|
well.
“This is a basic course, and
students must learn how to feel
see and tell us those things,
says. “The process is the mostinf
tant part of the project and tit
where they grow the most.”

Enacting proration rules in state
threatens to split gas producers
MIDLAND (AP) — Enacting statewide proration
rules similar to those used for crude oil production in
the state for more than 50 years threatens to split the
gas producer community down the middle.
A Texas Independent Producers & Royalty Owners
Association task force is backing the statewide proration
idea but has not yet formally approached the Texas
Railroad Commission with a proposal. When it does,
which could come as early as next month, the debate
among gas industry players could heat up in a hurry.
Proponents of the pro ration idea compare today’s
gas market with the oil market of the ’30s when a few
large independents controlled not only a huge portion
of domestic production but also access to the pipelines
to move that production into the marketplace.
Proration was devised as the best means of equitably
distributing market demand among all producers —
major and independent.
Similarly, in today’s gas market, by means of market
ing and transportation subsidiaries and other arrange
ments, certain producers have advantages in access to
markets by virtue of nominating procedures.
Supporters of establishing a statewide market de
mand factor for gas, such as the TIPRO, say that aggre
gating demand and spreading it throughout all
priority wells the state would minimize those problfl
One gas watcher who isn’t convinced that prort
will solve more problems than it creates is Joyce Stui
regulatory analyst for the Clayton W. Williams Jr!
Studlar says that taking the capability of wells to(
duce out of the proration equation will penalize t 1
deliverability and will allocate too much to deeper*
unable to produce up to their depth bracket.
Other concerns Studlar has about statewide gas|
ration are that it would:
• Put intrastate gas in more direct competition*
interstate gas;
• Do nothing to promote exploration and
opment of shallower (above 8,000 ft.) gas fields;
• Not provide for carrying forward underpr*
tion from one month to the next; and,
• Would not raise, and could possibly hurt, de*
for Texas gas, by driving out special marketing!
grams and pushing up the price of gas in the state
“Given the current market situation, the curreni
month balancing rules have the flexibility to cons
both demand for gas and the ability of wells to |
duce,” she added.
