R. Barton, dis tinguished professor of chem istry at Texas A&M, says that even though his purpose in life is research, he lives life to its fullest outside of work as well. “I have a strong feeling of liv ing,” he said. “At 76, statistics say I’m supposed to be dead... but I’m very much alive.” Judy Barton, his wife, said al though her husband works hard and is a driven man, he never gets enough. “He has a zest for everything life has to offer him,” she said. Barton will receive the Priestly Medal, the highest hon or awarded by the American Chemical Society, in April of next year. He said chemistry is funda mental in life. “Everything revolves around chemistry,” Barton said. “With out it, we wouldn’t even be here. That does not mean that other things are not interesting. You can enjoy other things, too, as long as you don’t waste your time doing them.” Karen Farnsworth, Barton’s secretary for over three years, said he never wastes time or slows down. “Everyone stands clear of Dr. Barton when he is going to the elevator because he runs—he does not ever walk,” she said. “If you are standing between him and an open elevator door, look out, you are in his way.” Richard Yonder, a graduate student and research assistant to Barton, said Barton is in a hurry to get wherever he goes, even if it is just down the hall. “He once stopped me in the hallway to tell me I walk too slow and I that I needed to pick up my pace,” he said. Barton, who received the No bel Prize in chemistry in 1969, said he is always able to keep up such a fast pace because he is so regimented in his daily routine. He starts his day at three in the morning by reading chemistry journals, eating two oranges and drinking an entire pot of tea. He goes to work at around seven and leaves for lunch at home around 11 a.m. At the end of the work day, he goes home, rides an exercise bike and swims 15 laps in the pool. He rarely eats dinner, unless he takes out- of-town guests to dinner. “I don’t need to eat dinner,” Barton said. “I think we all could lose some weight. We all eat too much.” Mrs. Barton said her hus band has habits he is used to when he travels. “I bring home the Wall By C Th M any de” tic!

R. Barton, distinguished professor of chemistry receive the Priestly Medal, the highest honor in chemistry, inApi Street Journal every day,” Mrs. Barton said. “But since he mostly reads chemistry jour nals when he’s home, he saves the Wall Street Journals in a bag that he takes with him when he travels. When he comes home, the bag is empty.” Barton said although many people ponder the meaning of life, he has already found it. “The meaning of my life is to express myself in the best® can and know that I didn’t® i^get an educ my time,” he said. “Thati'l^g includes I’ve done is important to! mankind and to God.” Barton, a native of Engli holds three degrees from University of London served in military intelligi in World War II.

Williams said PTTS does not enjoy issuing tickets, but it is one of the necessary evils of the parking system. “It is our job to pro tect the privileges of our students and facul ty members who have paid to nark on cam pus,” Williams said. “And those who break the rules will have to pay the price.” Pets Continued from Page 1 He said plans are being made to expand the program in the fall and use it for ju nior veterinary students for their laboratory work, which would otherwise be conduct ed on animals that the Uni versity would buy and have to destroy. “That way, we won’t have to purchase animals, which is such a sensitive is sue because afterwards the animals have to be put to sleep,” he said. “I think the students appreciate that they are doing some good and not just performing surgery on an animal that will have to be puttosli “Also, there is an more likely chanceoi animals being add] since they have i spayed or neutered.” August said wori with the animal shelte lows students an nity to practice theirs cal skills, allows the ter to have this sn performed at a lov' increases the likelii that the animals® adopted and helps* pet overpopulation. “It is a win-win sit. for everyone,” he Bice said the projt; been an interesting opment, and thatl A&M vet studentsl fallen in love with hi mals and have cornel to the shelter to t them, she said.
