Center, said current markers
around campus are mostly state
historical markers or commemo
rative plaques with no distinc
tive logo.
The committee wants markers
with an easily identifiable design
representing Texas A&M, but the
designers have been left a free
hand, he said.
Halter said the new plaques
will be detailed, telling the story
of a building or event rather than
simply giving a name and date.
He said the committee plans to
dedicate one or two plaques each
year, on football weekends. Par
ents' Weekend, reunions or simi
lar events.
Competitors are asked to design
a logo and specify the size of their
marker and the materials used.
The recommended size is no larger
than 27 inches by 42 inches.
The only specification is that
the marker be durable enough to
be mounted outdoors on a build
ing or post. Henderson said the
marker should appear dignified
and "first-class."
Dr. Richard L. Floyd, associate
vice president for finance and ad
ministration, said specifying both
the marker's look and how it
should be built will be a challenge.
"We want one that is distinc
tive and befitting of the events
and buildings that we want to rec
ognize," he said.

tion to A&M.
"We want something unique to
the heritage of Texas A&M Uni
versity," he said.
Henderson said the markers
can educate campus visitors as
well as members of the A&M
community.
"There's no question we're see
ing more and more visitors here,
and when the Bush library opens,
I think the number of visitors will
be just amazing," he said.
The Sanders Center has seen as
many as 3,000 visitors on home
football game days, he said.
A State of Texas historical
marker will be dedicated on cam

marker will identify the location of
the train depot that gave the town

will be placed by Albritton Tower
