Time took its toll on the once magnifi cent piece of architecture. Carved wooden shelves were slathered with latex paint. The great stair case leading to the second floor was jackhammered in the name of efficiency. And who knows what happened to the rest. Murals faded with age with no record of what pictures they held. Faces on interior columns that once watched over the heads bent over books now look with a sense of desperation. Their chipped faces and missing noses are only a hint of the faded memory of the Cush ing library. These faces are seeing more life than they have since the Sterling C. Evans library opened in 1968. The A&M Board of Regents gave Dyal and his crew $4 million to bring the memorial library and the memory of a unique man back to life. “How better can we remember this man than to ensure that the monument that was built would be furnished?” he said. In September 1930, the Cush ing library opened to an eagerly- awaited public. And like the memory of Cush ing the man, the building’s grandeur slowly faded overt! and alterations. Dyal wants to bring backfct brary’s former glory. The library has enough linit cial support to keep the struck? standing, but they are fundraisi to take the next step. “It’s one thing to have the be ing healed,” he said. “It’sso# thing else to have furniture.’ Cushing the Entit) Dyal sees the projectas: resurrection of things inexh cably tied together. The building cannot nw much without the man, and ing may not mean as much out the building. “To me, it’s all one whole,’ said. “Cushing the man, 0 the building and Cushing the lection are all one entity.” hursday • Ap ontinued f Ferguson s; g matched v rst major cot Payne said Thursday Blue Valentine, a blues rock band, is playing at Fitzwilly's.
