Several departments on the Texas
A&M University campus will relo
cate until renovations and construc
tion of other buildings are complete.
While Bolton Hall is being refur
bished, all departments will be
cleared from that building.
Political science is housed tempo
rarily 'on the second floor of the
Blocker Building. Anthropology will
move to two separate buildings in
what Glenn Dowling, director of the
office of planning and institutional
analysis, described as a “domino ac
tivity.”
Anthropology research labs will
be housed in the Engineering Build
ing and the faculty will be in the Bell
Building, formerly the USDA Build
ing, Dowling said.
Eventually, the faculty will move
into the Engineering Building when
the Computer Science-Aerospace
Building is completed.
in the summer, but the faculty won’t
move until 1990 or 1991,” Fuschak
said.
Dowling said Goodwin Hall will be
demolished in the fall, but it has not
yet been decided what will go on that
building site.
“We want to take a look at that
land and consider the long-range
plans,” Dowling said.
“We won’t just drop a building in
there to replace Goodwin,” he said.
“We’re looking at it to see what
would be right for the future.”
The Biochemistry and Biophysics
Building is slated to be completed in
May 1989. Those departments will
relocate to the west side of campus
from the Herman Heep Building.
Janice Fuschak, administrative
secretary in the anthropology de
partment, estimated that the new
date for moving would fall sometime
around 1990.
“The research labs will be moving
“These are tentative dates,” Dowl
ing said, “because construction can
be ahead or behind.
“The acquisition of furniture also
can delay the moving process.”
Other departments moving to
new sites include psychology into the
Physics Building and petroleum en
gineering into the Highway Re
search Center. Also in the planning
stages are new dormitories located
south of the commons and additions
to the Memorial Student Center,
Dowling said.

Testimony begins
in brutality inquest
TYLER (AP) — Testimony began
Tuesday at an inquest into the death
of a black truck driver who witnesses
say was beaten by police after his ar
rest and left overnight in a jail cell
without medical attention.
The 34-year-old Louisiana man
suffered severe brain hemorrhaging
after he apparently was struck in the
head at least twice, a pathologist tes
tified.
Dr. V.V. Gonzalez was the first
witness at the hearing into the death
of Loyal Garner Jr., who was ar
rested Christmas Day in the East
Texas town of Hemphill and died
two days later.
Garner’s death prompted allega

and to decide if additional charges
should be filed.
“All I want to do is get at the
truth,” Beaird, who is presiding over
the inquest, said Monday.
Gonzalez testified that Garner
suffered no skull injuries but said he
found several internal contusions,
some penetrating to the deepest part
of Garner’s brain, during an autopsy
he conducted the day after he died.

He said Garner had to have been

weapon used by police, are “compat

Garner’s widow, Corrine, has filed
a suit against the town of Hemphill,
seeking unspecified damages for
what she termed a “brutal, racially
motivated killing.”

With an old Dodge van, a tape re
corder and a 35mm camera, Diane
Koos Gentry began her 23,000-mile
trek across the United States to meet
the 10 women who fill the pages of
her book, “Enduring Women,”
which was printed by the Texas
A&M University Press.
Gentry began her search in the
mid-1970s for different women who
represented success without a busi
ness suit and a personal computer.
“When the women’s movement
was still all very new, all of the media
was talking about the success stories
of the women in the corporate
world,” Gentry said. “Rural women
were kind of just dropped out. No
body was writing about them anymo-
Gentry took this opportunity to
write, photograph and share the
lives of 10 remarkable women whose
occupations range from a shrimper
to a midwife.
“I had the types of women in
mind, but I didn’t know them,” Gen
try said. “I had to go find them.”
Finding the right women for the
book took a lot of time and help, she
said.
“I called friends all over the coun
try, I read a lot and I called special
ized magazines,” Gentry said. “For
instance, I called coal-mining com
panies to get the right female coal
miner for my book.”
A former Texas A&M journalism
professor, Dr. David R. Bowers, also
helped with the search.
“I met David Bowers at a meeting
and I said T cannot find a shrim
per,’ ” Gentry explained. “He said
his wife had a friend who owned a
propeller shop and he called me
later and gave me my shrimper’s
