and some oak accents. The ju-
venile curriculum section and
vertical file room will be located
at one end and the periodical
section at the other. A central-
ized microfilm reading room
equipped with copiers and ad-
justed lighting is featured here
along with two general purpose
meeting rooms and six smaller
rooms with the capacity to hold
up to five studying students The
outside walls come equipped with
single and double study desks
which have task lighting iden-
tical to the one presently lo-
cated outside Perrier's office. A
coin-operated typing room that
may some day offer word proces-
sors is also available on the
third floor.
The fourth floor will probably
be coined as the room with a
view. The library's colossal size
and key positioning gives those
who look west a spectacular view
of the city. "I think it is the
prettiest view of Fort Worth I've
seen," boasts Fcrrier. “It's quite
unique." Lounge furniture will
be near the windows for stu
dents and library guests to relax
and enjoy their surroundings
The classified material will be
shelved on the top floor along
with more student study desks
and ten small faculty research
rooms. The oak flooring will be

signed to house those items that
the library currently owns and
hopes to buy that are unique
and special particularly in Tex-
ana, Fort Worth and things deal-
ing specifically with Texas Wes-
leyan," Fcrrier pointed out. This
room will be separated by dou-

will have two xerox rooms and
public restrooms. There will be
two staircases and two elevators
to service the three floors of
the library.
Combined with improving the
facilities at TWC, the West Li-
brary will also generate more
jobs on campus. Currently the
library can operate with a staff
as little as two. "Obviously I
will have different staff needs
with a building three times the
size of the library right now,"
Ferrier explained. He has re-
quested two and a half more
permanent positions be added to
the current staff. He has also
requested an expansion in the
number of'student workers.
With its double-paned win-
dows, thick insulation, and walls
made from the highest quality
materials, by and large the li-
brary is “the best built building
on campus. The superior work-
manship is apparent throughout
the building,” Ferrier stated.
“Buildings of this nature do not
come cheap.’’

Lasorda gives hand
with Ramball auction
by Michael Kwas
One local scribe declared that
a baseball banquet could not bo
a baseball banquet without the
presence of one Tommy Lisorda
Nothing happened to dismay this
theory as the manager of the
Los Angeles Dodgers entertained
a receptive audience at the
Worthington for TWC’s second
annual Baseball Banquet and
Auction
The proceeds from the banquet
will help to support the fledgling
TWC baseball program. An esti-
mated $30,000 was raised at the
benefit The festivities got under
way with a silent auction Several
items of sports memorabilia
were displayed for the silent
auction and the live auction
which took place later in the
evening. Among these items were
autographed baseballs with sign-
atures of the likes of Willie
Mays. Sandy Koufax, Joe DiMag
gio, Ted Williams and other hall
of famers. Two particularly covet-
ed items were jerseys of slugger
Mike Schmidt and Cowboy Roger
Staubach.
The dinner followed the dis-
play of memorabilia. Besides the
main speaker, Lasorda, several
former and current Texas Ran-
gers were on hand, as well as
other big-league greats Doyle
Alexander, Ray Burris and fu-
ture Hall-of-Famer Don Sutton,
Scott Murray, Sports Director of
KXAS-TV Ch. 5 was the master
of ceremonies. Sutton was show-
ered with accolades before he
came to the podium to give a
heartfelt speech. And then it was
time for the main event as the
man who supposedly bleeds
Dodger blue rose to speak.
He began by telling a few one-
liners and spoke about the hor-
rendous play of second baseman
Steve Sax and the spacey out-
fielder Ken Landreux. "I asked
Kenny at this restaurant what
soup they had. lie said. 'Of the
day'.’’ Lasorda went on to talk
on a more serious note of the
importance of education and
helping young men out like the
ones on the TWl' squad He spoke
about the love of this country
and against drug abuse. "The
most important thing you can
say when someone offers you a
drug is No thanks, I love my
life loo much'." Lasorda's speech
was followed by a standing ova-
tion.
The sports memorabilia auc-
tioned followed with Lasorda and
Ranger manager Bobby Valentine
battling it out as they auctioned
their 30"x40" autographed pic-
tures. Lasorda chided that if
Valtntinc got more for his pic-
ture than Lasorda did, Lasorda
would be upset. Both managers
threw in teasers to add to their
pictures for prizes. Lasorda of-
fered four tickets to the Dodgers
opening day game plus a visit to
the Dodger dugout during the
game. Valentine's main offer was
dinner with him and two Rangers
at one of his exclusive restau-
rants. The struggle ended in a
tie as both auctioned their pic-
ture “packages" for $1800 a
piece.

to the student. These essays will
be entered into a competition
and will be judged by several
different professors from other
schools, with McMurty picking
the best from among the final-
.ists.
April 7, one day before this
year’s Americana Festival, Mc-
Murtry is scheduled to give a
[lecture on his writings. The
Americana Festival’s theme this
year is Texas in the fifties,
which, appropriately enough, is
one of McMurtry’s favorite topics.
