Chemical engineering students will be
able to explore computer automation
techniques next semester with the help of
a $90,000 grant from Texas Instruments.
Texas A&M was one of eight univer
sities selected to receive grants from
Texas Instruments worth more than
$600,000, senior chemical engineering
lecturer Dr. Dan Taylor said.
Grants will come in the form of indus
trial automation software, hardware and
“This way, students not only learn
how to do distillation, but they also learn
how to operate a computer, using it to
control the distillation column the way
they’ll do in the real world,” he said.

training.
“We hope to have the computer sys
tem installed by th Hr;t of the year,”
Taylor said. “We have three sections al
ready planned to accommodate about 50
seniors, who will get a chance to learn
real-world techniques.”
The grant is part of a $100,000 cost-
share program, of which A&M pays
$10,000.
Some of the experiments students
study include the operation of a distilla
tion column that purifies methanol and
water and an evaporator that separates
drinking water from sea water.
Texas In ruments will provide the de
sign softw; e system, the programmable
logic coni >ller equipment and the train
ing needea to use the system.
The high-tech corporation will train
several members of the chemical-engi
neering department for two weeks in
Tennessee. Those members will train the
rest of the department.
The system from Texas Instruments is
a distributive control computer, which
will enable engineers to automate control
of the distillation column.
Previously, students controlled the
system by opening the distillation valve
by hand.
“For years we operated this equipment
by hand,” Taylor said. “The way to go is
with the computer, so all of the equip
ment is operated by the computer.”
Jodie Ray, Texas Instruments’ senior
vice president of industrial automation,
said the system will allow students to en
ter the engineering field with more appli
cable experience.
A&M’s selection for the grant resulted
from Taylor’s inquiries about the sys
tem.
“I just called them up and started
asking questions about the system,” he
said. “They then saw the existing depart
ment and liked the way the laboratory
was run and they offered to put us in the
program.”
Other universities receiving grants are
Case Western Reserve University, Pur
due University, the University of Minne
sota, the University of Tennessee, the
University of Washington, the Univer
sity of Wisconsin, Virginia Polytechnic
Institute and Virginia State University.
Former lawmen
allege scheme
in inmate’s trial
HEMPHILL (AP) — A lawsuit filed
by two former Sabine County lawmen
who were acquitted of civil rights viola
tions in the death of a black jail inmate
accuses two attorneys and two trial wit
nesses of scheming to concoct a case
against the deputies.
The malicious-prosecution lawsuit,
filed by former sheriff’s deputies James
“Bo” Hyden and William Horton, seeks
$2 million in actual damages and $1 mil
lion punitive damages for each man.
Named in the lawsuit filed late last
month are attorneys Morris Dees and J.
Richard Cohen of the Montgomery,
Ala.-based Southern Poverty Law Cen
ter. Both are accused of embarking on a
scheme to prosecute Hyden and Horton
for the purpose of gathering a larger for
tune by destroying (the men’s) lives and
reputation.
The lawsuit stems from the Dec. 27
death of Loyal Gamer Jr., a truck driver
from Florien, La. The suit also alleges
that Lloyd Armstrong and Angus Boze
man, both former Sabine County Jail in
mates who testified at Hyden’s and Hor
ton’s trial last summer, joined in the
alleged scheme.
The law center will represent Garner’s
family in a federal civil lawsuit sched
uled to go to trial next April, Dees said,
who denied the accusations in the dep
uties’ action.
“It’s a frivolous suit,” Dees said
Wednesday. “It’s the craziest suit I’ve
ever seen.”
Hyden, Horton and Thomas Ladner,
former Hemphill police chief, were ac
quitted of civil rights violations charges
last July in connection with Gamer’s
death.
During the trial in Hemphill, Ladner,
41, admitted to striking Gamer, who had
been jailed Christmas night on suspicion
of drunken driving, on the head with a
slapstick.
An autopsy had showed that Gamer
died of three severe blows to the head
from a smooth, flat object.
Testimony at the trial indicated that
Hyden, 35, was with Ladner when Gar
ner was arrested and was struck on the
head and that Horton was aware of Gar
ner’s injuries but he, like the other two,
did not seek medical care until the next
morning.
Hyden’s and Horton’s suit said,
“(Dees and Cohen) wrested control from
the lawfully elected district attorney of
Sabine County and appointed their own
agent and servant, John Hannah, to not
only prosecute the Sabine County crimi
nal action but to use his position to pub
licly destroy the plaintiffs.”
Hannah is a former U.S. attorney from
Tyler who was appointed special pros
ecutor for the trial.
Dees said the law center had nothing
to do with the criminal prosecution. It
was Gamer’s family who wanted Han
nah, and his appointment was approved
by the presiding judge, he said.
Gamer died in a hospital in Smith
County.
Computer virus
hits UH, poses
no major threat
HOUSTON (AP) — A computer virus
that infected software used by University
of Houston business students has eaten
up some data, but officials said it poses
no real danger.
The university’s “bug” appears to be
a version of the so-called “Brain” com
puter vims, which was traced to a com
puter store in Lahore, Pakistan.
Michael Walters, director of research
and instructional computing services at
the university’s main campus, said the
vims is more a nusiance than a threat. He
added that he could not accurately esti
mate the resulting damage.
“It probably hasn’t cost us much ex
cept a few days of people-time to clean
up these disks, but it probably cost the
students a good bit of frustration,” Wal
ter said.
Some students have reported losing
data, but he said he knows of no one who
has lost an entire term paper or other
large quantity of work. Reports of the vi
ms still came in from students late Tues
day.
The vims first announced itself at the
university early last week on the screen
of one of the 150 IBM type personal
computers the business department keeps
for students and faculty to use, Walters
said. The vims has not spread to larger
computers at the school, he said.
A computer vims is a string of coded
commands hidden in useful software. It
replicates itself into other programs used
on the same computer or on computers to
which it is connected. Because the af
fected university computers were iso
lated from each other and the outside
world, the vims’ spread was limited,
Walters said.
A vims can do damage by clogging
the computer with commands so that its
operation becomes sluggish, as hap
pened with a vims that affected U.S. De
partment of Defense computers last
week, or by erasing data.
Walters said the vims at UH flashed
this message to students who tried to use
the infected programs: “Welcome to the
dungeon. Copyright 1968 Brain & Am-
jads, PVT, LTD. Virus shoe record
V9.0. Dedicated to the dynamic memory
of millions of vims who are no longer
with us today — Thank Goodness. BE
WARE OF THE VIRUS. This program
is catching. Program follows after these
messeges (sic).”
Walters said the UH version of the vi
ms says nothing about any vaccine, and
the V9.0 in its message suggests that this
may be a modified version.
