THE 1i'HITE HOCSE ~+'ns rt ih c~rox I send warmest greetings to the students, faculty and alumni and friends of Texas A&M University as you mark its one hundredth anniversary of service to quality education in our country. A dedication to academic excellence and individual self-fulfillment has made Texas A&M an important force in the progress and development of Texas and the entire Southwest. Americans everywhere can take pride in this one hundredth birthday. Our science and agriculture are richer because of the quality of your research. Some of our finest military officers have come from your campus. Your athletic pro- grams, both collegiate and intra-mural, have earned the University a national reputation that can bring satisfaction to all who are associated with it. I welcome this opportunity to salute a century of such splendid accomplishment and enduring contribution to our national vitality and well-being. My very best wishes go out to those who guide the future course of this great American institution and continue to build on its fine reputation in the years ahead. /~r~ ~' 4 KYLE FIELD TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY Seating Capacity: 49,860 Ambulances are located at both the southeast corner and north end of the stadium.

From being the gleam in a ticket manager's eye to being torn in half by a mean old gateman is only nine to 11 months. But if you only knew what I went through! And you will know, because I'm going to tell you. The first two steps are deciding what I'm going to look like and how many of me are going to be ordered. Wally Groff, A&M's Assistant Athletic Director for Busi- ness Affairs, chooses the picture I will carry throughout my life. While that picture is being designed, Ticket Manager Euleta Miller places A&M's order with Wel- don, Williams and Lick of Fort Smith, Ark., the top ticket printer in the world. This year- for six home games - 295,764 of me were printed. While I am in the process of being born at the printers, a great deal of preparation is being made by the ticket office for my arrival. The major announce- ment is published in the March issue of The Texas Aggie, A&M's magazine for the Association of Former Students. This issue of the magazine goes out to 65,000 people. At the same time, ticket application forms are prepared for A&M faculty and staff members. More than 10,000 forms are distributed to deans and department directors while another 20,000 reprints of the application in The Texas Aggie are sent to parents of A&M students from Texas and surrounding states. In all, 100,000 applications are sent out. The applications are planned to reach the public from Mar. 15-25, and ticket orders start coming in im- mediately. This is the part that really makes me feel good. It's great to be wanted! It's also great to know the ticket office goes to such great lengths to see that all the orders are carefully handled. Each order is checked to make sure that the amount of the check and the name matches the number of tickets ordered by a person. Each order is stamped with the date received and assigned a code number as to priority. (PRIORITY -that is a very im- portant word. More on that later.) Within one or two days of receiving the order, the ticket office mails a card confirming the order. The tickeir office must be very meticulous about keeping track of me even before I'm born. Money re- ceived must balance with the number of tickets sold for each game must be kept up to date. The Aggie Club receives a block of tickets depend- ing on its membership, processes its own orders, and reports regularly to the ticket office. Now, about those priorities. Priority is the most important factor determining where your seat is located in Kyle Field. The first priority (and the best seats) go to option holders. These are the persons who paid for the expansion of Kyle Field in 1967. In return for their con- tribution, they received first choice of seats fora 10- year period which ends this season. A&M's Board of Regents has approved a plan which will make these option seats available through the Aggie Club next season with current option holders getting first choice. The second priority is held by A&M faculty and season ticket buyers. The order of choice within this group is determined on a seniority basis which began in 1973 and went back to 1971. In other words, faculty- staff members who bought season tickets in 1971 and every year since then receive better tickets than those who began buying season books in 1972. The third priority is season ticket buyers who do not fit in either of the first two priorities OR (and that's a big OR) who are not members of the Aggie Club. The number of tickets sold within each priority de- termines the boundary of that section. The location of seats within a priority section is determined by a draw- ing. For instance, if 5,000 season tickets are sold in Priority One, then a section of 5,000 seats is set aside. Priority Two seats would begin at the edge of the Prior- ity One section. Once the June 1 deadline passes, all the tickets in a priority are placed in a group and a drawing is made to determine seat locations within that priority section. All orders received in the priority period before June 1 have an equal chance at the best seats in that priority section. The Aggie Club must be considered separately. Some option holders and some faculty-staff members get their tickets through the Aggie Club allotment. The Aggie Club (which should not be confused with the Association of Former Students) has its own priority system which is determined by the amount of tax- deductible dollars contributed by a member. (A letter to the Aggie Club asking for more information will get a quick response.) The priorities I have just detailed are only valid for ticket orders received by June 1. Season ticket books in which a person's seat is the same for every game are not available after that date. Tickets for each game may still be purchased, but the seat location could dif- fer from game to game. Orders received after June 1 are filled only after all priority orders. On June 1, Mrs. Miller tabulates all the tickets sold in each priority so she knows how many tickets are available to the general public. At the same time, con- tact is being made with all of A&M opponents to deter- mine how many tickets they need if the game is at A&M or to see how many tickets A&M can have if the game is on the road. Oops, I almost forgot a most important happening - my arrival. I usually make my appearance during the latter part of May. When I arrive, all 295,764 of me are counted and checked to make sure that my numbers are correct. That's quite a task. But that's just the be- ginning. By the time I reach you in the mail, I have been individually counted at least three more times. The ticket office starts filling orders June 15. All the envelopes are prepared in advance. My number is written on the application so that there is record of every ticket mailed out. If you arrive at the game and find you have left your tickets at home (naughty, naughty), you can go to the ticket office, and Mrs. Miller can tell exactly which tickets you had and issue you seat passes for those seats. Once all the orders are filled (which usually takes until the middle of August) each envelope is checked three times before mailing -once for home game tick- ets, once for road tickets, and once for complete to- tals. There is bound to be a mistake or two when you are dealing with 12,000 envelopes and more than 100,000 tickets, but you can see how the ticket office tries very hard to mail the correct tickets. i1EST A4NV D SIDE ~~ TEXAS A & M 101 - ~~~_ F ~ VA.

That day marks a significant milestone in my life. I am now on the second leg of my journey. First from the printer to the ticket office; then from the ticket office to your mailbox; finally from your house to the game. But my story is far from over. While one big batch of tickets are taken care of, there are two more groups remaining. One consists of the tickets which will be sold through the mail and over the counter after June 1. Over-the-counter sales usually begin August 1. The second very important group is student tick- ets. The Athletic Department and Student Senate confer and decide on the number of tickets and method of distribution. For 1976, 22,809 student tickets are available for each game. That's a pretty high percent- age from a student body of 27,000. Season coupon books are sold to students, and the coupons are re- deemed for tickets during the week before a game on a seniority basis with seniors and graduate students get- ting first crack followed by juniors, sophomores and freshmen. Then comes the game and the end of me .. . rrrriiiippp. If there are any tickets left at the end of the sea- son, they must be counted by three different individuals and reported. The ticket office must account to the uni- versity and state auditor for every ticket printed. The tickets are then stored by the auditors for a minimum of five years. If the team is successful and goes to a bowl game, the ticket office must send out order forms all over again and process the tickets. Finally, with the season over, a final report must be made, opponents tickets returned, and preparation started for next year. And if I'm lucky, half of me ends up as a souvenir in a scrapbook. 7 Before or After the Game .. . ~~ OIES~ Bryan-College Station's finest Supper Club Serving Steaks • Seafood • Prime Rib Live Maine Lobster 1401 FM 2818 (West Loop) Behind K Mart In the Doux Chene Apts.

GOODSON Vice Chairman, Dallas ALFRED I. DAVIES Dallas TEXAS A&M It has the largest agricultural enrollment in the na- tion, but it has more students studying engineering than agriculture and more studying in other fields than in agriculture and engineering combined. Such is the academic mix in the centennial year of Texas A&M University, the state's first public institution of higher learning. The geographic mix has become even more diver- sified over the past century. When Texas A&M opened its doors Oct. 4, 1876, it drew six students, primarily from Central Texas. It now attracts students from every county in the state, every state in the nation and more than 79 foreign countries. It has been the fastest-growing university in the na- tion during the '70s, having increased its enrollment by almost 11,000 since the fall of 1970. It had its largest gain in history last year when registration jumped 3,784, for a total of 25,247 students. Enrollment is expected to exceed 27,000 this fall. Even with the large enrollment increases, Texas A&M continues to enhance its academic standing. Col- lege Entrance Examination Boards statistics, for exam- ple, show that entering freshmen at Texas A&M last year scored an average of 1031 on the Scholastic Ap- titude Test, 146 points higher than the national norm. More than twice as many of its entering freshmen percentage-wise (40 percent) placed in the top tenth of their high school graduating class. With 148 National Merit Scholars enrolled, it ranks first among public in- stitutions in the Southwest and among the top 25 na- tionally. Texas A&M offers undergraduate degrees in 89 dif- ferent fields and 203 degree options on the graduate level. These degrees are offered through the Colleges of Engineering, Agriculture, Liberal Arts, Business Ad- ministration, Education, Science, Architecture and En- vironmental Design, Geosciences, Marine Sciences and Maritime Resources and Veterinary Medicine. The university also offers its undergraduate stu- dents an opportunity to earn a commission in any of the five branches of military service and continues to pro- vide more reserve officers than any other college or university in the nation. Additionally, Texas A&M is among the national leaders in research. It invested $39.3 million last year in studies ranging from pollution control to highway safety and energy conservation. Research activities this year are running about $6 million ahead of last year's record pace. To accommodate its expanded enrollment and di- versifiedprograms, the university has made major addi- tions to its 5,200-acre main campus, now valued at more than $300 million. New facilities opened within the past four years total more than $80 million and include a 15-story oceanography-meteorology building, eight- story office-classroom building, 11-story continuing education tower and auditorium complex, a major addi- tion to the student center, a large engineering complex, chemistry annex, a dormitory complex serving 2,000 students, educational television facility, student health center and an athletic dormitory and training facility. More facilities are on the way, including new architec- tureand science buildings and the first two structures for a whole new agricultural complex to be known as the West Campus. Texas A&M was founded as a land-grant college with a mandate to help develop the nation's agricultural and related resources. It now also carries sea-grant designation with similar responsibilities to provide lead- ership in making the most effective use of the nation's marine resources. It is one of only five universities in the nation with such dual designation. While constantly changing to meet the needs of its students, state and nation through teaching, research and public service, Texas A&M continues to maintain its proud heritage and unique traditions. 1876 10 ~, ~ ;~ :,~ v :gym ,._ `~i~ili~tF~ r ,, e ~, r wU 1976 11 DR. JACK K. WILLIAMS President, Texas A&M University Although he's only been through four seasons as ahead coach on the collegiate level, Emory Bellard, the multi-talented coach of the Texas Aggies, has made an indelible mark on the national football scene. During those four seasons, he completely turned Texas A&M's football program around and now the Aggies are a recognized national power. Last year, The Sporting News, a highly respected publication out of St. Louis, named him National Col- lege Coach of the Year. The Aggies last year became only the third team in the school's history to win as many as 10 games. They won a share of the South- west Conference crown and were ranked as high as No. 2 in the nation. The Aggies' football progress under Bellard has been a continual thing. His first club in 1972 had a 3-8 record. Then came a 5-6 year, followed by 8-3 and 10-2. The first thing Bellard did when he became athletic director and head football coach at A&M in December of 1971 was to assemble a staff of highly competent and competitive assistant coaches. Then, Bellard and his aides started a yearly ritual of recruiting outstanding high school and junior college prospects. Those who knew his background are not the least bit surprised that Bellard has had great success with his program at Aggieland. They predicted it from the outset, pointing to his track record that was among the best in the land. AORY BELLARD Prior to coming to A&M, Bellard had spent five years as an assistant at the University of Texas and it was there, in the summer of 1968, that he drew up Wishbone formation. But, he had already established himself as one of the all-time great coaches in the state's ultra-tough high school program. During a 15-year stretch at three high schools - class B Ingleside, 3A Breckenridge and 4A San Angelo Central - he posted an unbelievable record of 139 wins, 34 losses and 3 ties. He won 11 district titles, two regionals in class B, two outright state titles and a share of a third. The last state title was at San Angelo in 1966, the same year that he served as president of the Texas High School Coaches Association. A native of Luling, Tex., Bellard was graduated from Aransas Pass High School and then earned a bachelor's degree in physical education at Southwest Texas State in San Marcos in 1949. He was an assistant coach at Alice, Tex., High School for three years prior to launching his 15-year career as a high school head coach. Bellard and his wife, the former Mary Kay Watkins, have three children: Emory Jr., 25; Debra Lynn, 24 and Bob, 15. 12 m,~ r .. ~+ ~ 13 MELVIN ROBERTSON Assistant Head Coach & Defensive Coordinator Melvin Robertson joined the Texas A&M staff in January, 1972, as Defensive Coordinator. He was given the additional title of Assistant Head Coach in January, 1975. Robertson was born May 25, 1930, in Floydada, Texas, and was graduated from Floydada High School in 1946. He played football and ran track for West Texas State Univer- sity in Canyon, Texas, and received a bachelor's degree in 1950. His first coaching job was an assistant at Stanton High School in 1951. He compiled a 16-4 record as head coach at Stanton in 1953-54. He was an assistant coach at Sweet- water from 1955-60, Amarillo High 1961-62, and Odessa High 1962-64 before joining the University of Houston staff in 1965. He was assistant head coach and defen- sive coordinator at Houston when he left in 1972 to come to A&M. Robertson is married to the former Jimmie Ashley of Stan- ton.They have three children: daughter Vicky, 23, son Greg, 21, and daughter Lori, 5. TOM WILSON Offensive Coordinator & Quarterback Coach Tom Wilson joined the Texas A&M staff in January, 1975, as offensive coordinator and quarterback coach. Born Feb. 24, 1944, in Ennis, Texas, Wilson was graduated from Corsicana High School in 1962. He was an all-Southwest Conference quarterback at Texas Tech and set several school and conference records. He received a bachelor's degree in education from Tech in 1966. Wilson's entire coaching experience prior to coming to A&M was at Texas Tech where he coached the quarterbacks from 1966 to 1974. He was involved in seven bowl games: as a player in the 1964 Sun Bowl, 1965 Gator Bowl and 1966 Hula Bowl, and as a coach in the 1970 Sun Bowl, 1972 Sun Bowl, 1973 Gator Bowl and 1974 Peach Bowl. His eighth bowl came with the Aggies last December in the Liberty Bowl. Wilson and his wife Daun havetwo children, son Mark, 12, and daughter Julie, 8. DAN LaGRASTA Offensive Line Coach Dan LaGrasta joined the Texas A&M staff in January, 1972, as offensive line coach. Born June 22, 1929, in Pittston, Pennsylvania, LaGrasta was graduated from Binghamton North High School in Bing- hamton, New York, in 1947. After high school he served four years in the Navy as a torpedoman in the submarine service. He entered North Texas State University in Denton and played defensive end, offensive guard and linebacker while earning a bachelor's degree in 1955. He received his mas- ter's degree in 1957. LaGrasta started his coaching career as an assistant to Emory Bellard in 1955 at Breckenridge. He accompanied Bellard to San Angelo Central where he was an assistant for seven years.

Zv~ar~ s ~a~re N If what you're seeking is high-emotion drama spiced with thrill-a-minute action, most likely you'll find it this afternoon at storied old Kyle Field. That's because the principals in today's South- west Conference football contest are the home- standing Texas Aggies and the visiting Texas Tech Red Raiders. Their series, though not really along-standing one, has been packed with scintillating plays and car- diac finishes. Both have tasted the bitter agony of de- featand the soaring ecstasy of victory -but often they haven't known which until the final seconds of play. Fans who have followed this series closely are truly stout-hearted. Heart attacks in the stands have been numerous at Aggie-Tech battles. In 1962, here at Kyle Field, Tech broke a score- less dual with a field goal in the closing seconds. But then Dan Mcllhany took the ensuing kickoff in the en- dzone and, as the clock ran out, he sprinted 100 yards for a touchdown and a 7-3 Aggie victory. Then, in 1965 at Lubbock, Tech made up a for- ward pass-lateral play in the huddle and it clicked for a last-gasp 20-16 victory for the Raiders. Current Aggie offensive coordinator Tom Wilson was the Tech quar- terback that night. Two years later, also in Lubbock, the Aggies turned the tables when quarterback Edd Hargett sprinted 15 yards into the endzone as time expired and that gave A&M a pulsating 28-24 victory. For the most part that's the way this series has gone. Today's meeting will be the 35th between the two schools. A&M has won 19 times, Tech 14 times and there has been one tie. It all started back in 1927 with the Aggies taking that opener, 47-6. Today, Coach Steve Sloan brings in a Red Raider club that boasts the only unbeaten record among Southwest Conference teams for 1976. Tech beat Col- orado, 24-7 and New Mexico, 20-16. It had open dates sandwiched around the New Mexico game. A&M has an overall 3-1 record but it is 0-1 in the all-important SWC standings. The Aggies whipped Virginia Tech, 19-0 and Kansas State, 34-14, before losing a SWC game to Houston, 21-10. Last week the Aggies closed out non-conference play with a 14-7 victory at Illinois. Last year in Lubbock, the Aggies captured a 38-9 decision but Sloan's first Tech edition gained 320 yards, the most any team compiled against A&M dur- ing the 1975 campaign. Tech returns eight starters from that offensive unit and has shored up its defense for the '76 campaign. A&M's Emory Bellard stands at 2-2 in four games against Tech. His clubs lost the first two, 17-14 and 28-16 but then won the last two, 27-7 and 38-9. Some fine quarterbacking talent will be on the field today. Tech has two excellent field generals in Tommy Duniven and Rodney Allison while the Aggies have three quality leaders in David Shipman, David Walker and Keith Baker. Duniven and Shipman likely will be the starters. The Raiders have outstanding runners in Larry Isaac, Jimmy Williams, Billy Taylor and Godfrey Turner. A&M can counter with George Woodard, Curtis Dickey, Adger Armstrong, Darrell Smith and David Brothers. Linebacker Robert Jackson, tackles Edgar Fields and Jimmy Dean anchor A&M's potent defense and they get ample support from ends Tank Marshall and Eugene Sanders, linebackers Kevin Monk, Jesse Hunnicutt and Grady Wilkerson and secondary starters William Thompson, Mike Williams, Lester Hayes and Reggie Williams. Tech's defense boasts such standouts as tackles Bill Bothwell and Curtis Reed, linebackers Thomas Howard, Gary McCright and Mike Mock and ends Harold Buell and Richard Arledge. This is one of three Southwest Conference games on today's schedule. Elsewhere, SMU is at Baylor and Rice is at TCU. Then, in non-conference contests, Houston hosts West Texas State and Texas meets Oklahoma at Dallas. Arkansas has an open date. This is the first of three straight home games for the Aggies. Next week Baylor comes to Kyle Field, followed by the Rice Owls. Both of those games have 1:30 p.m. kickoffs. Next Home Game Baylor, 1:30 p.m., Oct. 16 41 1976 TEXAS A&M FOOTBALL ROSTER No. Name Pos.

The entire starting lineup is gone -three by expiration of eligibility and two by conference suspension. The only returnees are 6-7 senior Steve Jones, 6-8 sophomore Wally Swanson and 6-5 sophomore Joey Robinson. Jones averaged 6.2 points per game while Swanson chipped in 6.4 and Robinson 3.5. Metcalf will have a difficult task replacing two- time SWC Player of the Year Sonny Parker, All-SWC Barry Davis and steady co-captain Ray Roberts. Outstanding freshmen Karl Godine and Jarvis Williams were declared ineligible by the Southwest Conference late in the season and will miss the 1976-77 season. For the Aggies to be competitive in the coming season, a great deal of help must come from five freshmen and two junior college transfers. The freshmen are 6-4 John Schlicher from Fort Worth Paschal, 6-4 Steve Sylestine from Clear Lake, Sonny Hammond, 6-5 from Miami, Fla., 5-10 Dave Goff from Illinois and 6-10 Doug Pederson from Minnesota. The junior college transfers are 6-6 Willie Foreman from Hill Junior College, and 6-4~/z Keith Carter from Garden City (Kans.) J.C. With so little experience and such few players, the 1976-77 season will be the biggest challenge yet for Metcalf and assistants Norman Reuther and Bob Gobin. ;..~".. k BOB GOBIN Assistant Coach JOHN THORNTON Grad.

Viewers regularly attempt to describe the Texas Aggie Band, which just keeps coming back "making the best better." Without frills, flags or fanfare, the 300-strong military organization provides apulse-quickening drill that has earned applause of rival SWC bandmen, envy of other directors and "the epitome of military marching style" from a Delaware director. The Aggie Band moves onto the field playing "The Aggie War Hymn" and closes each drill with its trademark block "T", to the famous fight song. Maneuvers in between are the result of five one to two-hour practices a week. Aggie Sandmen finish classroom and lab work first. They wear the lyre on their Corps of Cadets uniform with- out scholarships, music majors or auditions. Their only membership requirement is previous marching and playing experience. Maj. Joe T. Haney is in his fourth year as Aggie bandmaster, with performances at 28 of the last 34 A&M games ir~luding the Liberty Bowl. Associate director Capt. Joe McMullen assists with drills, prac- tice, music arranging and writing, and travel arrangements. More help comes from the band's military organization, altered this year due to its size. Aregiment-level unit for 1976-77 at bandmen's behest, the Aggie Band is composed of battalion-like Artillery and Infantry Bands of two batteries and companies each. Working with Aggie Band Commander Robert Spitler, petroleum engineering major of Eden, in 1976-77 are four additional cadet leaders. They are Terry Tooley of Vernon, Charlie Briggs of Bryan, Kyle Braswell of Angleton, Chris Roach of Shamrock, Robert Gottlich of Dunwoody, Ga., and Otto Hanneman of Dallas. On the field direction is supplied by Bill Schwennsen, head drum major of Fort Worth; Jim Ramsey, Artillery Band drum major of Mexia, and Bryan Cummings, Infantry Band drum major of Houston. The Aggie Band marches in rows 12 men wide and files 25 men deep, with the senior-booted front rank carrying military-type bugles. The band also performs at basketball games, leads Corps reviews and parades and takes part in special campus events. Because it performs primarily outdoors, the Aggie Band employs heavy brass and percussion instrumentation. Typical makeup in- cludes 30 bass horns, 90 trumpets, 65 trombones, 28 percussion instruments, 20 baritones, 15 French horns and 60 woodwinds. Spring activities also feature a 75-member Aggie Concert Band and 17-member Aggie Stage Band, drawn from marching band membership by audition. Musical offerings of the two groups are broader. They perform at concerts, dances and dinners. Aggie Band stereo albums, at campus gift stores, show off the robust sound. The latest, "Live From Kyle Field," features band music and crowd sounds from home games.

In sports, teamwork may result in a championship. In the petroleum industry, teamwork can result in completion of a highly productive well or discovery of an entire oilfield. We in Dresser Industries are proud of football and the role it plays in shaping young lives, and we're equally proud to be a part of a dynamic industry having an awareness of the demands and rewards of teamwork. Almost daily, our staff and field operations personnel are called upon to assist our custom- ers in finding a solution to critical problems through our re- search, engineering and technical service expertise. We know the meaning of teamwork in sports, in business, and in the achievement of civic and national goals.

A great future was predicted for that college. In ceremonies dedicating the two buildings designed to take care of 600 students, the Governor of Texas said " ... In time, these halls will become classic and the strong men of Texas will [meet] here." The Governor was right. That college today is Texas A&M University, a major center of learning in both the state and the nation. But the beginning was lean. On October 4, 1876, only six students showed up for the first day of classes. By the end of that first year, however, enrollment in Texas' first public institution of higher learning had reached one hundred and by the turn of the century, four hundred and fifty young men were Texas Aggies. Today, more people than that are looking for a parking place on campus at any given time. During the next fifty or sixty years, the college made solid progress as an all-male institution, em- phasizing engineering, agricultural, scientific, and mili- tary training for its students. All of these areas brought special recognition to the college, but it was military training which first brought Texas A&M into the national limelight. Over sixty thousand men and women have received basic military training here. During World War II, more men from Texas A&M served their country than from any other insititution, including the service academies. In the early stages of that conflict, General Douglas MacArthur wrote these words: " ...Texas A&M is writing its own military history in the blood of its graduates." After the war years, Texas A&M was challenged by change. New demands were made as technology and society pressed forward. How did Texas A&M meet that challenge? For an answer, let's look at Texas A&M University today. Enrollment has more than doubled -almost tri- pled -over the past few years. There are more than 25,000 students enrolled with interests and back- grounds as diverse as the students' hometowns, states, and countries. This preponderance of growth has ushered in a new era for Texas A&M, an era of state and national leadership. For the past four years, Texas A&M has been the fastest growing senior college or university in the nation. It is number one in agricultural enrollment, and twentieth in the nation in graduate science and engineering. The University is, in fact, a leader by al- most any measuring scale you choose: quality of stu- dents, measured by SAT scores and enrollment of na- tional merit scholars; research activities; financial sup- port from corporations and other private sources; ath- letics; and, most important, the quality of faculty and academic programs. ¢° ...and then 65 Getting around now.. . Undergraduate students at Texas A&M have op- portunities to study in any of about ninety different fields. Graduate students have an even wider selection of programs to choose from. These programs fall under the umbrellas of 11 different academic colleges. The newest program is the Medical Education Program, accepting students for the first time in the spring of 1977. The academic programs are sustained by some 1,500 faculty members participating-in innovative re- search and instruction. At Texas A&M research is an extension of the teaching program in every college. It provides a basis for the theory taught in the classroom. Through research activities, the content of education is kept current and challenging, each generation adding to the learning it receives. Texas A&M ranks among the top 25 on the National Science Foundation's list of universities with the largest research and development expenditures. As the University stretched to accommodate its phenomenal growth, a new campus skyline emerged. Some 20 major buildings and numerous other installa- tions have been added to the 5,200-acre campus over the past few years. Among these is the University Cen- ter- acomplex formed of the Rudder Tower, the The- ater Arts building, the Memorial Student Center, the Board of Regents Annex, and the Forsyth Alumni Cen- ter. Other recent additions include Zachry Engineering Center, Harrington Education Center, the Oceanog- raphy and Meteorology Building, a $2 million Student Health Center, and five new dormitories. Still in the works are extensive campus landscaping, an eight- story classroom building, a new building for the College of Architecture and Environmental Design, and the new agricultural facilities located on the west campus. There's a feeling of success here, the feeling that comes with being a winner. Couple that feeling with an indefinable, contagious camaraderie and love for Texas A&M and something emerges, something called the Aggie Spirit - a force that unites the people of Texas A&M. It's the Twelfth Man ... Aggies who are always ready to help. It's Silver Taps, as students gather to honor a fallen comrade. It's Muster, as Ag- gies all over the world pause to remember. It's the Bonfire. It's the thousands of students, faculty, and 66 Above, Oceanography and Meteorology Building Above right, Old Main, 1898-1900 Right, A. 8. Beutel Health Center supporters -past and present -who have woven the colorful fabric of Texas A&M University. One hundred years ago, the people of .Texas placed a heavy responsibility on their first college. As Texas A&M enters its second 100 years, the responsi- bility still is keenly felt. Texas A&M University continues to meet its challenges -and to challenge. 67 Convocation unveiling the Centennial wood carvings, academic seminars and a concert.

Centennial Commemorations The history, heritage, and spirit of Texas A&M University have been captured magnificently by sev- eral works of art created as commemorations of the University's 100th anniversary. The first of two sculptures was unveiled on cam- pus on February 2, as part of Proclamation Day cere- monies. The bronze Centennial Sculpture is a creation of Houston artist G. Pat Foley, and was made possible through the efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Donald S. Morris '51 and Mr. Foley. The sculpture is dedicated to young men and women and their knowledge -the true foun- dation of the future. The Association of Former Students commis- sioned International Silver Company to create the au- thentic solid pewter Texas A&M Centennial Plate. De- signed by artist Jim Raatz, the plate features the Academic Building along with the statue of Lawrence Sullivan Ross. Around the border are symbolic repre- sentations of Texas A&M's academic colleges and the military science program. The beautiful wood carvings by Sue and Rodney Hill were begun in September, 1974, and unveiled last Monday. The six panels, on display in the MSC Stu- dent Lounge, tell the story of Texas A&M, although according to the artists, "A lot is left out because Texas A&M has done a lot." Buck Schiwetz' Aggieland: A Portfolio of Eight Scenes from Texas A&M University captures the spirit of Texas A&M on canvas.

Also sponsored by the Association and published by the University Press is the two-volume history of Texas A&M. The Centennial History of Texas A&M University, 1876-1976 tells the full story of Texas A&M's founding and growth. A Pictorial History of Texas A&M University, 1876-1976, is its perfect com- panion. In 460 photographs Texas A&M's first century is dramatically illustrated. The second sculpture placed on campus was given by the Centennial Class of 1976. The bronze eagle, an adaptation of the University's Centennial emblem, also is a creation of artist G. Pat Foley. The sculpture bears the inscription, "Dedicated to a century of excellence."

Ninety-four President's Endowed Scholars at- tend Texas A&M this Centennial year. Twenty- two of the 33 freshmen scholars are first recipi- ents of newly endowed scholarships, showing the continued generous support the program re- ceives from alumni and friends of the University. The first permanent scholarship program at the University, President's Endowed Scholars was begun in 1968 by the Association of Former Students under the leadership of Royce E. Wisenbaker '39. Currently 110 scholarships are committed to funding. No other university is known to have a scholarship program providing such substantial financial support and personal Today, the Office of University Development and the Association of Former Students co- hosted the second annual pre-game brunch to honor all President's Scholars and donors of the endowed scholarships. 69 interest in the recipient.

Don't bet on it. For instance, rule 9-2A1, which went into effect in 1975 but may have escaped your attention. It says, put into simpler-than-the-rule-book lan- guage, "use of gestures or acts that provoke ill will is anon-contact, 15- yard penalty foul." Naughty language is included among acts covered by the rule, which was aimed at stopping the "intimidation" or "showing up" of another player or official. In other words, things like a receiver who's just beaten a defender on a pass taunting the latter by flaunting the ball in front of his face or popping off. Most fans probably went the entire 1975 season without seeing such a call. Cliff Speegle, Southwest Confer- ence executive secretary who be- came chairman of the NCAA rules committee Sept. 1, 1975 when John Waldorf of the Big Eight retired, said it was called a couple of times in his league. No Mob Scenes Another recent change which sometimes confuses fans who aren't up on their rules was outlawing of the "idiot drill." Speegle said the idiot drill "is where the whole team assembles in the end zone on a touchdown or runs out on the field when a guy inter- cepts apass and beat him to death. "The coaches used to go down in the end zone when a kid scored a touchdown but they started assess- ing a 15-yard penalty so the coaches decided maybe it was a little better to stay in the bench area." Speegle pointed out, "There's an- other rule a lot of people have a problem with, the 12-men-on-the- field rule. If a youngster is attempt- ing to get off the field, it's five yards. But if he is part of the play, then it's 15." Judgment calls are a thorn in rulesmakers' sides, of course, not to mention those of players, coaches- and the officials themselves. The No. 1 matter of judgment, and contro- versy, is, has been and always will be pass interference. Speaking of judgment calls, a goodly percentage of fans (and probably coaches and players) holds the opinion, "You could call holding on every play." Not because of such criticism, of course, but starting this season offensive blockers will get a little "relief." Speegle said, in untechnical terms, the blocker may allow his hands stray away from his body during con- tact. There are restrictions: The arms can't be more than half extended and the palms can't be facing the oppo- nent. The Ump Ain't Blind Incidentally, 'tain't so any official can call holding on any play. The main area of holding, across the in- terior line, is the responsibility of the umpire. Other officials aren't looking for holding, they're scanning specifically assigned areas in the flow of the play. In 1976, there's one new rule Speegle termed "real vital. That is the youngster who tackles a runner deliberately with the top of his head gets a 15-yard penalty. We're trying to get that youngster to get his head up. We're trying to protect him from injury." Although many fans know what's going on when officials start blowing their whistles and signalling penal- ties, few know about the striped- shirters' pre-game duties. They don't just get out of the car and walk on- field for the kickoff. An Ounce of Prevention Speegle said, "The referee, umpire or one other official go into the team dressing room approximately an hour before the game and check for illegal equipment. "And they check for any specific instructions-unusual plays, etc., that the coach would like to reveal. Also, they go over game procedures-flip, kickoff, etc.-with the head coach." Most major conferences have an observer at each game. One of his main duties is meeting with officials beforehand. "In the Southwest Con- ference," Speegle said, "It's in our regulations that we have at least 11/z hours of uninterrupted game-action discussion. We start with the flip of the coin, who brings the captains out, how they're introduced, the whole procedure of the game. "We go over every situation we can anticipate-type of formations, types of plays, unusual situations. No, you never get everything. But, basically, if you get all the routine plays, the others will take care of themselves." 76 The Gentleman's Quarter Town & Country Shopping Center PHILIP TREMONT '69 PAUL TIMMINS '65 3705 E. 29th St. CHRIS WHITE '75 LARRY ENGLISH '74 BRYAN, TEXAS RANDY MALAZZO '78 846-1706 ALUMINUM WINDOWS ~ BATH ACCESSORIES and BUILDERS HARDWARE ~-''~ READY HUNG DOORS ~'~~ FRIGIDAIRE BUILT-INS PATIO DOORS Q1lal2ti~ ~r' S6~Yti~CB STOVE HOODS HANDYMAN PHONE 846.7782 COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS 77840 3800 TEXAS AVE. 50.
