Professor lives life to fullest
Thursday • Ai
By Angela St. John Parker
The Battalion
Sir Derek H. 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.

“You po-p
Sir Derek H. 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

than a few tickets to
convince students that
riding the bus is the
way to go.”
Isenhart said the bus
services have seen a
trend suggesting more
juniors and seniors ride
the buses than freshmen
and sophomores.
“Freshmen and
sophomores are getting
used to the Universi
ty,” he said, “and by
the time they reach
their junior year they
are knowledgeable
about what they can
and can’t get away
with on campus.
“One piece of knowl
edge students usually
acquire is you can run,
but you can’t hide from
the PTTS.”
Rachael Campbell, a
senior petroleum engi
neering major, said im
proving the bus system
will be a positive incen
tive for students.
“As a freshman, if I
was running late for
class, I wouldn’t ride
the shuttle buses for
fear I’d be late,” Camp
bell said.
“After that first
three-digit check to the
PTTS, I learned quick
ly it didn’t pay to ille
gally park.
“The money I’ve
spent on parking tick
ets would certainly
help me now with grad
uation approaching,”
she said.
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.”

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.”
