Author to speak on American West
By Sharon Maberry
Reporter
Pulitzer Prize-winning author
William Goetzmann will be at
Texas A&M Wednesday and
Thursday to give two lectures
dealing with the American West.
“Dr. Goetzmann is very know-
ledgable about the development
of the American West,” said Dr.
Paul Parrish, associate dean of
the College of Liberal Arts. “He is
one of the country’s best known
scholars in this area.”
Goetzmann, a professor at the
University of Texas since 1964,
will speak Wednesday at 8 p.m.
in 601 Rudder on “Western Art
as Intellectual History.” This lec
ture and slide presentation will
focus on the paradoxes of con
quest as reflected in Western art.
On Thursday at 8 p.m. in 601
Rudder he will speak on the topic
“Americans, Exploration, and the
Culture of Science,” which will
deal with the development of sci
ence and technology within the
context of American experience.
Goetzmann will focus on the
relationship between the devel
opment of the American West
and of science as a culture, Par
rish said.
Goetzmann won a Pulitzer
Prize for his book, “Exploration
and Empire: The Role of the Ex
plorer and Scientist in the Win
ning of the American West, 1800-
1900.”
Parrish said, “His best known
activity is probably the work he
did on the PBS series, ‘The West
of the Imagination,’ which ap
peared about a year ago. He was
the creator and chief script writer
of that project.”
Goetzmann received his Ph.D.
and bachelor’s degree in Ameri
can Studies at Yale University,
Parrish said. He also received a
Fulbright Lectureship at Cam
bridge University in England,
where he taught from 1967 to
1968.
Housing fair aids off-campus students
The Texas A&M Off-Campus
Center and Off-Campus Aggies
will sponsor the fourth annual
Housing Fair on Wednesday
from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. in the
Rudder Exhibit Hall.
“The Housing Fair is an op
portunity for property owners,
managers, community agencies
and other housing services to pre
sent information on off-campus
living options to students, faculty
and staff of Texas A&M Univer
sity,” said Erika Gonzalez-Lima,
graduate assistant from the Off-
Campus Center.
Nancy Thompson from the
Off-Campus Center said the
Housing Fair will provide stu
dents with a place to go to obtain
needed information.
“By consolidating many
sources of information like this,
we really help people who don’t
own cars or can’t get transporta
tion to look for apartments in the
area,” she said.
About 40 apartment com
plexes will be represented at the
fair along with furniture rental
companies, the Bryan and Col
lege Station utility companies, the
Office of Students’ Attorney,
A&M Bus Operations and Uni
versity Food Services.
This year’s theme is ‘Avoid the
Mad Dash,’ Gonzalez-Lima said.
Amnesty International head to speak
By Cindy Milton
Reporter
The director of the southern
region of Amnesty International
will come to Texas A&M Tuesday
to talk about torture and political
imprisonment.
“Man’s Inhumanity to Man:
The Issue of Human Rights” will
feature Steve Herrick of Amnesty
International, USA. Herrick will
discuss unjust imprisonment and
torture of people throughout the
world as a result of certain politi
cal and religious beliefs or ethnic-
ity.
The program will be held
Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Rudder
Theater. A video called “Stop
ping Torture” also will be shown.
“The video will include testi
monies from former prisoners
from Chile, South Korea, South
Africa and the Soviet Union who
have first-hand experience of tor
ture,” Herrick said in a Battalion
phone interview.
“The focus of the program,”
he said, “is on how students and
faculty having political freedom
can and must speak out for those
who cannot.”
Amnesty International, a 1977
Nobel Peace Prize winner, is a
worldwide organization that sup
ports human rights, ensures that
all political prisoners are given
fair trials and works to stop tor
ture and execution in all cases.
MSC Great Issues, the sponsor
of the program, is a University
educational planning committee
run by students that presents pro
grams during the year on various
topics of interest.
Tenured UT professor
dismissed to cut costs
ARLINGTON (AP) — The dimis
sal of a tenured professor who
taught guitar classes at the Univer
sity of Texas-Arlington has caused
discord among the faculty and stu
dents because such a termination is
so rare.
Associate Professor Charles Post-
lewate was dismissed after teaching
at UTA for 10 years in what univer
sity officials said was a cost-costing
move.
Students and faculty members be
gan circulating petitions last week
supporting the classical guitarist.
“I just think that I should have
been given due process,” Postlewate
said of the elimination of his tenured
position late last year. “I haven’t
been.”
University regents award tenure
for outstanding work and as a guar
antee of academic freedom from po
litical pressure. Harry Beaudry, an
English professor and president of
the campus chapter of the American
Association of University Professors,
said the dismissal of a tenured pro
fessor is “rare, very rare.”
But Gary Ebenserger, chairman
of the music department, said Post-
lewate’s academic guitar program at
tracted too few students — six guitar
degree graduates in the last five
years.
‘Tt has nothing to do with Charles
whatsoever. It’s a fringe area, it’s a
luxury. I don’t think we can afford
to continue it,” Ebenserger said.
Postlewate’s case has drawn the at
tention of national professors’ asso
ciation members, who have written
UTA administrators concerning “a
violation of Postlewate’s rights under
principles of academic tenure,”
according to association spokesman
B. Robert Kressler.
Postlewate and his colleagues said
that administrators should have re
tained him to teach several basic mu
sic courses, rather than hire part-
time instructors as planned.
Students and faculty say they will
help fight Postlewate’s dismissal.

Attorneys offer deal
in officer’s hearing
FORT WORTH (AP) — Attorneys
offered to withdraw some allega
tions against a police officer accused
of fixing tickets in exchange for le
niency by the police chief, a pub
lished report says.
The offer was made in connection
with an administrative hearing that
resumes Monday in the firing of the
police officer accused of fixing tick
ets.
Sources told the Fort Worth Star-
Telegram in Sunday’s edition that
Police Chief Thomas Windham was
asked to reduce officer Steve Weav
er’s punishment to a suspension and
the hearing — and airing of the alle
gations — would never occur.
Windham, in an interview late last
week, confirmed an offer was re
ceived from Weaver’s attorney, Rob
ert Hasty.
“Bob Hasty voiced a threat . . .
that he was going to bring out some
very damaging testimony,” Wind
ham said. “At no time will I be black
mailed or extorted . . . They know
they have a loser. The testimony so
far has totally been supportive of the
necessity of firing people like Steve
Weaver.”
Investigators accused Weaver of
fixing three traffic tickets he issued
to a plumber who did work at Weav
er’s house.
At last week’s hearing appealing
Weaver’s firing, Officer Maurice
Buchholz testified that assistant city
attorney Juan Blanco Jr.’s instruc
tion at the police academy included
lessons on how to fix traffic tickets
for friends, relatives and others.
Blanco had denied the allegations.
Buchholz and two other officers
had testified that Fort Worth police
routinely fixed traffic tickets for ac
quaintances.
