PEOPLE IN THE NEWS

Designer’s brother
fights brain cancer
NEW YORK (AP) — Designer
Tommy Hilfiger is preoccupied with
something more important than
fashion these days. His brother, Bil
ly, is trying to beat brain cancer.
“My last MRI looked great, and I
feel good,” Billy Hilfiger said in Sun
day’s editions of the New York Dai
ly News. “I have great friends, a
great family, and they tell me I have
a positive attitude.”
Hilfiger had brain surgery in De
cember, shortly after his cancer
was diagnosed. He underwent
chemotherapy every four weeks for
three months and radiation every
day during May and June.
The tight Hilfiger clan “really
pulled together in a powerful way,”
Tommy Hilfiger said. “We were pray
ing, hoping and thinking positively,
that is probably as important as
anything else.”
Billy Hilfiger, 42, plays in two rock
bands and runs a small urban land
scaping company.
“When I go to jobs, I meet jani
tors and other building employees
wearing Tommy jerseys, and they
say to me: 'You’re Tommy’s broth
er? Why are you doing this?' They
can’t believe I like working."

The pond offers current Chancellor Barry
Thompson and his wife one of the best views in
the area from a rear patio used for entertaining
and relaxing.
Entertainment is one of the chief purposes of
the house. While it is the residence of the chan
cellor’s family, much of the floor space of the
building itself is used as a place of reception for
visiting guests of the University and of the chan
cellor himself.
With a somewhat secluded location and the
separate kitchen located at the rear, the house is
able to accommodate large groups without the
inconvenience of being interrupted by the bus
tle of food services or by the potential noise of
the rest of campus.
The current home, known at the time of its
construction as “the $1 million house,” is a vast
change from the original chancellor’s house,
used from 1939 through the early 1980s by var
ious members of the University staff. That home
was built for $14,602.90 in 1939 dollars.
The previous home, a brick-veneered Colonial
Cape Cod, was designed by Frederick Giesecke,
Class of 1886. Giesecke is also known for design
ing such landmarks as the Academic Building,
Sbisa, Milner Hall, Bolton Hall, the Systems Build
ing, the Cushing Library, the Chemistry Building
and the old Veterinary Sciences Building.
The original home was built to meet the
needs of Mrs. Gibb Gilchrist, the wife of the
Dean of Engineering at the time of construction.
She stated that she needed a home of 3,300
square feet.
Throughout the years that it served as an of
ficial University residence, the old chancellor’s
residence was home to various deans, chan
cellors and presidents of the University. The
last residents of the home were the Kolduses,
who began living there in 1976, according to
University records.
Considering the previous and current lifespans
of administrators’ homes on campus, it would
seem that the ‘new’ chancellor’s house will be a
landmark and example of A&M’s variety of archi
tectural designs for many years to come.
Continued from Page 3
The builder, R.B. Butler, constructed the
building at cost and sacrificed profit to help
Texas A&M out of a financial jam. Even the
bricks were believed to have been recycled from
a demolished science hall.
“Earl Rudder used to say this house is the
best bargain Texas ever built,” Bowen said.
“The architect was an Aggie, the concrete was
furnished by an Aggie, the concrete and plumb
ing were donated by Aggies and the doors and
windows were donated by Aggies. Back in
1965, it only cost about $60,000. Who knows
what it’s worth now?”
In 1981, the house’s value was assessed at
over $260,000.
The house is a contemporary Georgian colo
nial design, with some “modern” elements
from the 1960s added. The entry way is domi
nated by an impressive white-marble floor and
an unobstructed view of the window wall at the
back of the house.
To the left of the entryway is the formal liv
ing room, which, at 600 square feet, is the
largest single room in the house. One of the
house’s three fireplaces rests along the south
wall, with a piano rescued from the 1963 fire
taking up one corner of the room.
To the right of the entry way is a formal din
ing room. This room is often used for private
parties. In the center is a 10-place mahogany
table, above which hangs a Waterford crystal
chandelier.
Sterling silver place settings donated by Bud
dy Benz are on display against the wall and are
used for formal events. The wallpaper is a flo
ral design from 1965 and has never been re
placed.
Just ahead of the entry is the sunroom. The
west wall of this room is a bank of windows to
let in the afternoon sun.
Against one wall lies a bookcase stocked
with releases from the Texas A&M Press.
Against another are two display cases full of
handpainted Wedgewood plates, each bearing
the image of a historic building on campus.
The south end of the first floor leads into a
guest bedroom and a 300-square-foot study. To
Hanging above the stairway inthepre;
home is a large crystal chandelier.
