Tech Arts students ‘bogged down’
by Lee Nabors
Angry students, mud-covered cars, hammering,
drilling and mass confusion is the picture at the
Technical Arts campus while everyone awaits the com-
pletion of the new Tech Arts building.
It seems Tech Arts students get unhappy and their
cars get even muddier as they pull up through the hole
in the fence, across the rockbed and over the mud pud-
dles (when it rains) to park, wondering if their cars
will be “outta sight” when they return after class.
The problem facing the Tech Arts students is losing
their parking lot to the new building construction site.
They don’t know where to safely park their cars before
the new parking area to finished.
Eugene Carpenter, chief of police, said the problem
is bad but is “just something we’ll have to live with,”
until the construction is completed.
Carpenter says students may continue parking in the
old trailer park and they may park in any of the com-
muter parking lots, including the stadium lots (all day)
and the gym parking zone (after 2 p.m.).
Carpenter added cars parked in any of these areas
will not be ticketed during construction, although there
have been some tickets issued for cars with no permits
and for those parking in the faculty-staff lot.
Carpenter also said that Lamar police realize the
problem and are trying to be lenient with Tech Arts
students.
The new Tech Arts parking lot on East Lavaca is un-
der construction now but cannot be completed until the
Tech Arts building is finished.
The new building which contains classrooms as well
as offices for administration and faculty, will replace
the old Technical Arts building.
Pat Weaver, assistant director of campus planning,
says the new Tech Arts building is a “beaut! ”
But beautiful or not the parking situation remains.
Tech Arts students are still unhappy and their cars still
muddy as they carefully drive through the hole in the
fence, into the trailer park, between the rockbed and
the mudholes and park their cars.
Each student has high hopes of finding his car, or
some resemblance of it, when he returns.

LeMaistre keynote speaker
for Tuesday dedication
Dr. Charles A. LeMaistre, chancellor
of the University of Texas system, will
deliver the dedicatory address at
ceremonies for the new Mamie Mc-
Faddin Ward Health Sciences Building
on Tuesday, Oct. 19.
The two-story, $2 million facility,
housing Lamar’s newest of eight un-
dergraduate colleges, is located in the
800 block of East Lavaca.
Groundbreaking for the building,
named in honor of Beaumont’s Mamie
McFaddin Ward was held in July of
1975. Mrs. Ward has been a longtime
benefactor of Lamar, especially in the
area of health sciences.
The Oct. 19 program will begin at 2
p.m., and will be followed by an open
house from 2:45 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Dr. LeMaistre is a medical educator
with experience in teaching, research,
public service and administration. In
his present position with the University
of Texas at Austin, he served as the
chief executive and administrative of-
ficer for the nation’s fifth largest
multicampus system, now serving
87,500 students.
He first became affiliated with the
UT System in 1959 as a professor of
medicine at the UT Dallas South-
western Medical School.
In 1965, he conducted a study of the
health manpower potential of the UT
system that became the basic plan for
the development in the 1970’s. Prior to
becoming chancellor on Jan. 1, 1971, he
also served as vice chancellor for
health affairs, deputy chancellor and
chancellor-elect.
Apart from his official duties with the
UT system, Dr. LeMaistre has served
on a number of committees and com-
missions. He was a member of the
Surgeon General’s advisory committee
that determined cigarette smoking to
be a health hazard.
He also served on the Carnegie Com-
mission on Non-Traditional Study and
has been a member of the President’s
Commission on White House Fellows.
More recently he served on the joint
task force which developed the report
for continuing competence for phar-
macists.
Dr. LeMaistre earned a B.A. in 1944
from the University of Alabama, in his
native state, and his Doctor of Medicine
degree in 1947 from Cornell University
Medical College.
He is a former faculty member of the
Cornell University Medical College,
where he began his academic career as
an instructor and assistant professor of
medicine. Before coming to Texas, he
was professor and chairman of the
department of preventive medicine and
community health at the Emory
University School of Medicine.
Dr. LeMaistre has written numerous
scientific papers related to preventive
medicine, infectious diseases and
epidemiology and contributed to
several medical and scientific books.

Seniors interested in interviewing
A new Liberal Arts College honors
program will be implemented at the
university for Fall 1977 and will offer
three honors courses at the sophomore
level in history, government and
English.
Dr. John W. Storey, associate
professor of history, is the program’s
director.
Possible honors students will be
selected from a list of the top 100 scores
of the 1976 S.A.T. tests. Candidates
must have maintained a 3.5 G.P.A. for
two semesters. Dr. Storey hopes to con-
firm at least 50 students for next fall’s
program.
Dr. Storey describes the Liberal Arts
honors program as “an accelerated
program to provide opportunity for in-
tellectual stimulation for qualified
students as well as an opportunity for
teachers to develop their skills.
“An honors program is beneficial to a
university,” Dr. Storey said. “It af-
fords an opportunity to tap good, local
students who might go away to other
schools and it gives substance to tne
phrase ‘academic excellence’.”
Dr. Storey believes the honors
program offers an alternative to typical
classrooms. Honors classes provide
detailed study of a course and promote
stronger relationships between stu-
dents and teachers.
About eight years ago the university-
wide honors program collapsed during
changes of administration.
There was no director .for the
program and dissension developed bet-
ween departments because of dif-
ferences in philosophies.
As head of the commission, Dr.
Storey polled the Liberal Arts faculty
and found that a majority wished to
participate in an honors program. A
student poll was also favorable to the
idea.
Dr. Storey will be assisted by a com-
mission. They are responsible to the
Liberal Arts Council who are respon-
sible to the dean.
The new program will be contained
within the Liberal Arts College, but Dr.
Storey “hopes that ultimately it will
become university*wide.” Within four
years he would like to see a complete
four-year honors program in Liberal
Arts.
