BREITLING 1884 News English professor dies BY AMANDA SMITH The Battalion Stanley Louis Archer spent 35 years of his life sharing the works of great literary artists with his stu dents. His death was mourned by friends, family and fellow faculty members at memorial services yes terday. Archer died Friday of multiple myeloma, a malignant tumor of the bone marrow, complicated by pneumonia. He took modified re tirement in the fall, but was unable to return as planned for the spring semester. Paul Parrish, an English profes sor of 17th century literature, be gan working at Texas A&M in 1974, worked with Archer and will al ways remember his integrity. “What many of us will remem ber and appreciate in Stanley Archer is his sense of integrity,” Parrish said. “He was candid and one knew very much where he stood on issues. He was very straightforward.” Archer graduated from A&M in 1959 and returned in 1962, after earning his master’s degree at the University of Mississippi in 1961. Archer received his Ph.D. from the University of Mississippi in 1965, while teaching as an instructor at Texas A&M. Parrish said Archer’s feelings for A&M did not change, from his be ginning as a student to the end of his teaching career. “The University (Archer) retired from was very different from the University today,” Parrish said. “The University has undergone enormous changes. There was no waivering in his loyalty. He was our senior faculty member and re tained a sense of allegiance to [Texas A&M].” In 1970, Archer was tenured as a full professor. Archer instructed graduates and undergraduates in courses including rhetoric, public speaking and classes discussing the works of Milton and Shakespeare. His publications include critiques and reviews of prominent writers and poets, short stories and series. During his teaching career at A&M, Archer was involved in the Conference of College Teachers of English, the Modern Language As sociation, the National Council of Teachers of English and Phi Kappa Phi. Archer received the Faculty Dis tinguished Achievement Award for Teaching in 1974 and the Teaching Award of Merit for the Texas A&M chapter of Gamma Sigma Delta in 1969. Record companies ter technology to stop pin ]ie Bat tali- 5 NEW YORK (AP) — In a major move to protect the music industry from online bootleggers, Five lead ing record companies are teaming up with IBM to test technology that lets people quickly record CD-qual- ity albums off the Internet. Computer users can already get illegal, pirated material over the In ternet. The test announced Monday is aimed at thwarting the bootleg gers by offering better-quality sound and a wider selection of mu sic. “This trial offers an extraordi nary window on the future of the music business,” said Roger Faxon, senior vice president of business de velopment at EMI, whose music catalog includes the Rolling Stones, Frank Sinatra and the Spice Girls. Beginning in the spring, IBM's new technology will be tested over six months by about 1,000 people in San Diego. BMG Entertainment, EMI Recorded Music, Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group will create an online music store with more than 2,000 albums for sale.

A student panel will include: Laurie Nickel, student body president; Brandon Neff, head yell leader; Adrian Leday, Pan-Hellenic president; James LaMarr, a senior construction science major; and Suzanne Tate, Panhellenic president. The “Aggie Luv Lines,” based on the MTV talk show which features hosts Dr. Drew Pinsky and Adam Corolla leading a panel of guests, while participants ask sexual questions. Griffith said everyone is encouraged to par ticipate in the event and all questions are wel come. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions personally or through note cards to protect their identities. "It is a unique and fun experience,” Griffith said. “We never quite know what kinds of ques tions we will get. People do not ask the kinds of questions like on MTV. ” Nickel said she is nervous about responding to questions. “It’ll be fun, but I’m afraid of what people will ask me,” Nickel said. “I’m a private per son.” Neff, who was a panelist last year, said peo ple ask the panel about their opinions on cer tain situations or issues.
