Models of the Alamo created by a team of graduate students will use digital imaging data to show different
points in the mission’s history. They also will reveal how environmental factors have damaged the building.
Remembering the Alamos history
High-tech models to reveal landmarks past, sustain its future
COLLEGE STATION - A group of
graduate students is creating digital
models of the Alamo in an attempt to
preserve the Texas historic landmark
for future generations.
Texas A&M University architecture
professor Robert Warden is leading the
effort to create high-tech models of the
historic mission, along with students
from Texas A&M-Kingsville, the Uni-
versity of Texas at Austin and the Uni-
versity of Texas at San Antonio, school
officials said this week.
The team intends to use digital im-
aging data to capture different points in
the Alamo’s history. For example, 2-D
and 3-D models will be created to deter-
mine how the Alamo existed in 1836
during Texas’ battle for independence,
in 1885 when San Antonio became the
site’s custodian and in 1961 based on de-
tailed drawings done by a Historic
American Building Survey. The digital
models also will give insight into how to
prevent weather and other environ-
mental factors from continuing to dete-
riorate the landmark.
Carolina Marique, a Texas A&M
graduate architecture student, has
made two trips to digitally scan portions
of the Alamo. She described the process
as a hunt through history.
“We’re able to detect very fine layers
of history,” Marique said. ‘We’re getting
into really fine detailing to try and
graph this maybe missing history.”
The Alamo’s conservator, Pam Ross-
er, said she’s grateful for the project,
which is funded by the Ewing Halsell
Foundation and administered by the
Texas General Land Office.
“Once this is complete, it will create
lots of information that can be used for
historical purposes, but also for mainte-
nance purposes,” Rosser said. We can
compare everything now with older
photos and compare how the building
has aged over time and what we need to
do to prolong the longevity of the build-
ing.”

STATE COMPTROLLER RACE
Money claims
spark sniping
Advisers to likely
candidates squabble
about fundraising

AUSTIN — Rep. Harvey Hil-
derbran is drawing criticism
from a potential rival in the
GOP primary to succeed Comp-
troller Susan Combs for boasts
about campaign fundraising
HARVEY
HILDERBRAN
prowess.
A recent
money maneu-
ver allowed Hil-
derbran, R-
Kerrville, to
suggest he had
raised more
than he actually
did in the latest
fundraising period. On June 29,
Hilderbran all but depleted his
officeholder account, rolling
more than $278,000 into Tex-
ans for Harvey Hilderbran, a
committee he formed two years
ago to explore a statewide race.
On Monday, the deadline for
filing semiannual campaign fi-
nance reports, Hilderbran
wrote on Twitter that his newer
committee was “showing a
strong report” with “receipts” of
$394,000. Hilderbran, though,
raised only $116,000 from new
contributors.
An adviser to Sen. Glenn He-
gar, R-Katy, accused Hilderbran
of exaggerating.
“How can people trust Har-
vey Hilderbran to give an accu-
rate revenue estimate if he can’t
give an accurate report of his
campaign finances?” said Hegar
consultant
■ Todd M. Smith.
Hilderbran
consultant
1 Matt Macko-
Hrj wiak respond-
* ed: “How can
GLENN Texas voters
HEGAR trust a candi-
date for comptroller who hires
a consultant who doesn’t un-
derstand basic accounting
terms?”
Mackowiak said Hilderbran
didn’t intend to mislead any-
one. He merely combined his
political funds.
“The cash on hand figure is
the one that matters,” Macko-
wiak said. He was referring to
the balance of just more than $1
million in Hilderbran’s state
campaign account.
Smith, the Hegar adviser,
said the semantics amounted to
little more than a fudge. Hegar
has $1.8 million for his cam-
paign and raised more money
in the first half of the year —
$221,000 — than all of his po-
tential Republican rivals for
comptroller combined, Smith
argued.
Smith said that includes Hil-
derbran; former gubernatorial
candidate Debra Medina of
Wharton, who raised nearly
$56,000; former Rep. Raul
Torres of Corpus Christi, who
took in $2,350; and recently
elected Railroad Commissioner
Christi Craddick. Craddick re-
ceived $2,025 in the period,
though she has $411,000 in the
bank.
