Lawrence Wilson Barfield, 40, was convicted Monday in the mutilation and murder of Veronica Stone, with whom he shared an apartment in subur ban Grapevine. Jurors took just over an hour Monday to return their guilty plea. The same jury on Tuesday quickly decided on the maximum punishment. Barfield also was fined $10,000. Barfield has been in the Tarrant County Jail for al most two years, since shortly after his arrest in the slaying. He will be transferred immediately to stall prison Barfield dismembered Ms. Stone's body, stowed her remains in a bedroom closet and then pennedi 200-page manuscript confessing to the murder. Ate mailing the manuscript and a gruesome photograpl: of his victim, he tried to commit suicide by shooting himself, but survived. Prosecutors in closing arguments Monday depict ed Barfield as a love-sick "beast" who killed Ms Stone, 21, because she refused to have sex with him, "With less respect than a hunter has for a felled deer, he (Barfield) poses her in a bathtub withabife on her chest. He chooses to make that pose as humili ating as possible," said Assistant District Attorney Gary Medlin. Building will provide more offices Continued from Page 2 anymore to the MSC," Busch said. The L-shape design came about as a result of planners want ing to visually mask the parking garage from the University Center area, he said. He expects the building to see a lot of traffic, in part because of an indoor connection between it and the parking garage. "Although the entire building won't have a great deal of traffic, we expect the lobby area and the Student Activities wing to have a lot of traffic," Busch said. The Student Activities Office f >resently occupies 4,000 square eet of office space on the second floor of the Pavilion. When Stu dent Activities moves into the new facility, this figure will jump to 20,000 square feet The new offices will contain conference rooms, more room for the Student Government, offices and cubicles for student organiza tions to work out of, classrooms in which to hold meetings, and a larger administrative area. Except for MSC committees, campus organizations will receive rich ing. The department will allot a total of 45 cubicles to student groups, said Dr. Carolyn Adair, Director of Student Activities. "I think Student Government will finally be able to separate some of their people who have had all of their committees work ing out of one room," Adair said. The Student Senate will hold meetings in the Governance Room which will provide seating for up to 100 people. KAMU, the student-run radio station, will have a three-room suite waiting as soon as the new facility opens. An office, a broad cast room, and a program room will help the station keep up with its 24-hour broadcast schedule. Plans for a new Student Activi ties Office first began several years ago, Adair said. Student Activities worked with the architects in the design of the new offices. Originally located in the MSC about a decade ago, the Student Activities Office moved into the Pavilion after it was converted from a rodeo arena. The depart ment has remained in the Pavilion for the past nine years. "We've done very well (in the Pavilion)," Adair said. " We've just reached the limit on what we can do for student organizations up here." Student Financial Aid will take over the second floor of the Pavil ion once SAE moves out. Tenants of the new office building may begin moving in sometime during the month of De cember, Busch said. However,he said he does not expect the build ing's opening to come before the middle of next semester. working space in the new build- "We started a long, long time ago with a list of priorities of things that were needed in the new complex," said Adair. "It (the list) got changed slightly, but I think for the most part our area is just about what we had planned for it to be." Adair expects to begin moving into the new offices in the weeks following Christmas. Her depart ment will open soon thereafter. "As soon as we move, we're going to open. We do not have any closed days," she said. "So, we will probably be working as we move. It just depends. Wner they say we're ready, we'll go." Scientist receives $250,000 award Continued from Page 2 reers of those already in the field," he added. Richardson, an associate pro fessor of geology and oceanogra phy, said she will receive the NSF award in $50,000 annual install ments over the next five years to support her research focusing on the dynamics of particles in the ocean. "This award will enable me to participate in programs I would not have been able to participant in without this support," she said. "It will allow me to gather a global data set on particle distribution in conjunction with the World Ocean Circulation Experiment." Richardson was the first fe male doctoral graduate student in the marine geology and geo physics section of the MIT-Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute joint program in oceanography in 1980. She completed post-doctoral study at Columbia University and held a faculty position at City Uni versity of New York. Richardson's major teaching role is directing the introductory physical geology classes, a core curriculum course where she has personally taught up to seven per cent of the undergraduates at A&M. "Although she is heavily in volved in her research, she still finds time to be a dedicated teach er," Friedman said. Richardson, at A&M since 1985, said she enjoys both aspects of her position at A&M - doing re search and teaching. "I'm enthused about what I do -1 love to teach," Richardson said "I like to spark an interest in the earth in my students." Richardson was recognized in 1990 by the Association of Former Students with a college-level teaching excellence award. Richardson is the mother of three daughters. She and her hus band, Dr. Wilford Gardner, a pro fessor in the Department of Oceanography at A&M, have pub lished numerous research articles together.
