Employees recognized for superior service
□ The 1995 Outstanding
Employee awards were
given to two A&M
System employees,
Lynda Ferguson and
Don Hamilton.
By Heather Pace
The Battalion
Lynda Ferguson and Don
Hamilton were recognized by
the Texas A&M University Sys
tem Administrative and Gener
al Offices for providing superb
service to the University.
Ferguson and Hamilton,
winners of the 1995 Outstand
ing Employees were selected by
an anonymous committee that
judged job performance, skills,
improvement of the system and
recognition by employees.
Lynda Ferguson is the staff
assistant for the A&M System
Human Resources Department.
She is responsible for all finan
cial aspects of the system em
ployee insurance plan and han
dles the computers and the book
keeping for the department.
Dale Mason, an executive
secretary for the department,
has worked closely with Fergu
son for many years and said he
has seen the dedication that
Ferguson puts into her work.
“She wears many hats,” Ma
son said. “She does a whole lot
beyond her duties as depart
ment bookkeeper. She has tak
en on a role of computer trou
bleshooter because of her own
initiative.”
Known for being meticulous
and careful, Ferguson devised a
series of spreadsheets that
amazed auditors because her
records were so accurate.
Mason described Ferguson
as “very humble and surprised
when she receives praise. It
doesn’t matter how busy she is,
she jumps up and helps you ... .
“Most people aren’t aware of
the effort she puts in, but she
doesn’t like to call attention to
herself,” Mason said.
Ferguson said she was proud
to receive the award.
“I was pleased people would
think enough of me to nominate
me for this award,” she said.
Hamilton is an electrical
construction supervisor in A&M
System’s Facilities Planning
and Construction Office.
Max Hinojosa, the director of
the Physical Plant at Texas
A&M at Galveston, described
Hamilton as a “godsend.”
Hinojosa said he could not

Opal leaves path of destruction
□ Fifteen counties in
Florida qualified for federal
aid in the wake of the
hurricane, which inflicted
$1.8 billion in damage.
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla.
(AP) — Under blue skies, the dam
age wrought by Hurricane Opal be
came clear Thursday: hundreds of
houses smashed into splintered
boards, condominiums flattened,
hotel walls caved in and boats
tossed ashore along 120 miles of
eroded beach.
“This is what I call utter de
struction,” an astonished A1 Don
aldson said as the homeowner
looked over Santa Rosa Beach,
west of Panama City.
Opal, which hit land late
Wednesday with gusts up to 144
mph, killed at least 11 people and
caused an estimated $1.8 billion in
damage to insured property along
the Florida Panhandle. That made
it the second-costliest storm in
state history after Hurricane An
drew, which inflicted $17 billion in
damage in 1992.
Fifteen Panhandle counties were
approved for federal emergency aid.
Opal lost its punch as it blew
through Alabama but still knocked
out power to 2 million in Florida,
Georgia, Alabama and the Caroli-
nas. Many homes also had no wa
ter or phone service.
Nearly 3,000 police and National
Guardsmen were posted in Florida to
prevent looting.
Segregation

quality, racial preference
and income.
“The program is set up
where I can maximize every
factor to generate extreme
segregation, then I can turn
it all off to see what hap
pens,” Fossett said.
The goal of Fossett’s work
is to understand the causes
of residential segregation.
“I think it’s going to
change the conventional wis
dom a little bit,” he said.
Fossett stressed the im
portance of further research
in residential segregation for
practical use.
“I think some really serious
work needs to be done, and
hasn’t been done yet, to
