Businessman tells students to retain values
Brenham
By Eloise Flint
The Battalion
Drayton McLane, Jr., owner of the Houston As
tros, said students should uphold and enforce val
ues such as honesty, integrity and Christian princi
ples when they make the transition from college
to the work force.
McLane’s speech was part of a series of speak
ers and events taking place during Resurrection
Week.
McLane said when his family purchased the
Houston Astros in 1992, they set forth the goal of
maintaining those values.
“Life is competitive, difficult and tough at
times, ” McLane said. “Life is tough for the best of
us, and values are what see us dirough the tough
times.”
McLane said one reason his family purchased
the Astros was his realization that the Lord blessed
them far beyond what they deserved.
“This might be an unusual way to make a con
tribution, but nothing uplifts people like a sport
ing event,” McLane said. “Baseball players are
paid based on statistics, but I
tell them they are in the en
tertainment business because
if we don’t have 35,000 to
40,000 people at each game
then we can t pay them."
McLane is chairman of
McLane Company, the
world’s largest distributor of
food products and general
merchandise to convenience
stores.
McLane joined his father in
the business with the agree-
McLane
ment to work under a few conditions.
“I had to start on the night crew and work with
them which taught me how to deal with other
people,” McLane said. “He did it to teach me that
I didn’t know as much as I thought.”
McLane said students should start at the begin
ning when they start a new career.
vVith education and experience you can easily
earn the respect of others and zoom your way
up,” McLane said. “It taught me the value of
working with people and recognizing the impor
tance of what they do and the need to make them
feel important.”
McLane said students sometimes segment their
lives into scholastics, personal affairs and religious
behefs.
“You think life is busy now while you’re in
school, but when you get an occupation life is
overwhelming and you’ll find Christian faidi to be
very important,” McLane said.
Steven Murray, president of Christian Business
Fellowship, said McLane was chosen to speak be
cause he upholds the principles that the group
stands for.
“We bring in people to talk about die role of
Christianity in the workplace,” Murray said.
“Sometimes people feel you have to check in your
Christianity at the door, and we don’t beheve in
that.”
Dr. Stephen McDaniel, advisor of Resurrection
Week, saia he is pleased widi student participation
in the celebration.
“The main focus is to call people’s attention to
what Easter is really all about, ’ McDaniel said.

to reopen its salt dome near Bren
ham and to expand the facility’s
capacity.
On April 7, 1992, an uncon
trolled release of natural gas liq
uids from the storage cavern re
sulted in a series of explosions that
killed three people, injured 2 1 and
caused $9 million worth of dam
ages. The explosions could be felt
1 2 0 miles away.
An investigation into the explo
sion said the cavern was too full
and that safety equipment de
signed to prevent natural gas liq
uids from escaping didn’t work,
according to Brian Schaible, a
spokesman for the Railroad Com
mission.
A cloud of gas developed,
which was ignited from an un
known source, he said.
“We do not believe
were in violation
our permit.”
- Rick A’i
Seminole spokesmi
the
At the time of the explosicl
cavern contained 338,995tJ
rels of natural gas liquids. In 19j|
when Seminole’s application)|
approved by the commission,:*
company stated the cavern’s ca:J
ity would be 150,000.
"We do not believe we were I
violation of our permit,” Neah; |
Seminole has applied for pel
mission to expand the storage;
cility capacity up to one mill:;
barrels. Seminole has stated i
it doesn’t intend to store inti
cavern more than 300,000bj
rels at a time.
