By KIM RECIO
UP contributing writer
The Lamar University dance com-
pany has been chosen to perform in
the student-choreography concert
scheduled for Nov. 14, 15 and 16, in
the University Theater.
Rebecca Hill, assistant professor
of health, physical education and
dance, released the names of the
students.
They are Nancy Barnes,
Kingwood sophomore; Sandy
Cessac, Port Arthur sophomore;
Tamara Day, Port Arthur junior;
Pam Dean, Houston sophomore;
Darin Drake, Belgium junior; and
Latene Friddle, Vidor freshman
Others are Steven Foux, Beau-
mont freshman, Kim Fox, Hamshire
sophomore; Lori Guilbeaux, Groves
sophomore; Tammy Hearn, Beau-
mont sophomore; Denise Hollomon,
Beaumont sophomore; and' Lori
Holmes, San Antonio freshman.
More are Terrell Jones, Orange
senior; Kim Lanclos, Port Arthur
sophomore; Melissa Landry, Beau-
mont freshman; Jeanette Leger,
Vidor sophomore; Benton Luedecke,
Houston freshman; and Stephanie
Maldonado, Nederland freshman.
Others are Barbara Marks,
Nederland junior; Wanda Melendez,
Puerto Rico freshman; Byron Net-
tles, Beaumont freshman; Toni
Palmer, Houston freshman; and
Jennifer Rhone, Port Neches senior.
More are Debbie Ryhard,
Lumberton freshman; Sheri Stark,
Nederland freshman; Vicky
Stevens, Houston graduate student;
Dana Sonnier, Nederland junior;
Diane Tipton, Fannette sophomore;
Amy Toomim, Beaumont junior;
and Teri Wallace, Vidor freshman.
This dance concert will be the first
concert entirely choreographed by
dance majors. The student
choreographers are: Cessac, Leger,
Marks, Sonnier, Toomim, Brenda
Griner, Port Neches junior; Eva
Herndon, Beaumont sophomore;
Shana Ivey, Orange junior; Keely
Jardell, Nederland junior; and Julie

The concert pieces consist of jazz,
ballet, modern and tap. The
choreographers chose their own
dancers out of the largest group ever
to audition for the concert.
“I think the girls have been out
recruiting for these audition,” Har-
riet Lihs, instructor of health,
physical education and dance, said.
“This is the first time we’ve ac-
tually offered a choreography
class,” Jamie Kindi, instructor of
health, physical education and
dance, said.
Choreography, composition and
improvisation are the dance classes
that have prepared the students to
present their pieces.
Students are taught to develop an
idea for a piece by studying design,
elements of space and rhythm, she
said.
Admission will be free to Lamar
faculty, students and staff with ID.
Prices for students K-12 and senior
citizens are $2 and general admis-
sion is $3.
Texas awarded robot contract
AUSTIN (AP)-The U.S. Depart-
ment of Energy has awarded the
University of Texas a $4.2 million
contract to help design a robot that
would repair nuclear reactors and
remove terrorist bombs.
“Even if no new reactors are built,
existing ones will have an increasing
need for this technology, and it will
be needed for fusion reactors as
well,” said Delbert Tesar, a UT
mechanical engineering professor
who is directing the research pro-
ject.
Some UT engineers working on the
project want the robot to be human
in appearance, similar in some
respects to Hollywood movie robots.
But Tesar said he expects the robot
will more closely resemble a
machine tool.
The robot will be “highly dex-

terous” and rigged to be operated by
humans, much like a pilot uses a
joystick to fly an airplane, Tesar
said.
A major use for the robot system
would be repair of steam-generator
tubes in nuclear reactors, he said.
“The tubes leak and either have to
be rewelded or, at least, cleaned
periodically,” he said. “We’ve
analyzed this extensively and found
that the robot system could save the
industry about a $300 million a year
in 1980 dollars.”
Tesar said the robot system could
be used for the highly dangerous
work of “decommissioning,” or
dismantling, nuclear power plants
that have been permanently shut
down. The robot also could be used
to remove terrorist bombs, or to
clean up debris after an earthquake
or a coal mine disaster, he said.
UT should have the first
mechanical elements of the robot
operating within a year and a
demonstration-type system ready
within five years, Tesar said. But
the initial federal grant will be only
a drop in the bucket compared to the
eventual cost of design and construc-
tion, he said.
U.S. Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, D-Texas,
said the award was “a significant
step forward for the university in the
U.S. scientific community.”
The universities of Florida, Ten-
nessee and Michigan also are par-
ticipating in the robotics research
program as the U.S. steps up its
pace in a renewed effort to catch up
with other countries in development
of the crucial Space Age tool.
Dinner helps
LU alumni
socialize
before game
By DARREN ROLLINSON
UP contributing writer
A pre-game dinner held at the
Montagne Center Saturday gave
alumni members a chance to eat,
drink and socilaize.
The buffet, sponsored by the
Lamar Alumni Association honoring
its members and their families,
preceded the homecoming game.
Bob McLain, operations manager
of the Montagne Center, said, “I
think it’s the perfect opportunity for
alumni members to get together and
enjoy themselves before such a big
game.”
Tickets for the meal were $6 per
person. “The food served this year
was in very good quality and was
well worth the price,” he said.
Kim Crouch, Lumberton junior
and alumni staff member for the
past two years, said, “Last year’s
dinner was held at the Mary and
John Gray Library, but this year be-
ing held in the Montagne Center of-
fers a more appropriate atmosphere
and guests can overlook the players
practicing before the game.”
“There’s a feeling of excitment
this year that wasn’t present last
year and the guests really seem to
be having a good time,” said alumni
staff member James Lincoln
Richardson II.
“Alumni members feel that a pre-
game buffet and good homecoming
game are a perfect combination,”
Richardson said.
