I THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, February 18, 1960 High School Senior Interested in A&M 'a ■' m 4 Frank Hines, 17, of Luling in Caldwell county is a young man with a ponderous and far-reaching problem which often confronts high school students at this time of year. Frank will be graduated this spring and he is wondering which college or university to attend. It’s a question he is not taking lightly. He already has visited the campuses of several schools, the most recent one being A&M. Frank spent several days here at the invitation of Reagan Brown, rural sociologist with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, and George Ohlendorf, 21, of Lock hart, a senior majoring in rural sociology. All three have major factors in common. Frank and George both are native sons of Caldwell county and Brown was county agricultural agent there about four years ago. Frank and George were in 4-H Club work under Brown. Brown said A&M is always on the lookout for top boys in agri culture and they often can be found in 4-H clubs and FFA chapters. Frank and George, he said, are ex cellent examples of how 4-H and FFA activities can instill respon sibility and ambition into youths and prepare them for college. Hines started his 4-H and FFA activities with a nondescript, or phan calf and then raised a Sears pig. He has produced prize win ning watermelons and last year at the Houston Fat Stock Show he entered the second place capons. In addition to valuable experi ence, Frank also salted away a sizable lump of cash in the bank, a fund that will go a long ways in putting him through college. Ohlendorf was Caldwell county’s Gold Star 4-H Club boy in 1953. In his first year at A&M he was awarded the Anderson, Clayton Scholarship, Farm Bureau Scholar ship and Opportunity Award Schol arship. He is editor of a student maga zine, “The Agriculturist”; on the Who’s Who list at A&M, member of the Ross Volunteers, president of the Rural Sociology Club, is a Battle Group Commander in the Cadet Corps, is a Distinguished Military Student and has been a Distinguished Student scholasti cally for three semesters. Hines was a busy visitor while at A&M. Among the many pro fessors and officials he met were Pres. Earl Rudder; Dr. G. M. Wat kins, dean of the school of agri culture ; Dr. Tyrus Timm, head of the department of agricultural eco nomics and sociology, and J. B. Hervey, executive secretary of the Association of Former Students. SB Outstanding in 4-H and FFA Activities Frank Hines, left, of Luling, outstanding in 4-H club work and FFA activities, visits friends on the A&M campus. He is shown here with Reagan Brown, center rural sociologist with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service and George Ohlendorf, right, of Lockhart, a senior majoring in rural sociology. Frank and George were in 4-H club work under Brown, former county agricultural agent of Caldwell coun ty. Hines is considering A&M for his college education be cause he believes it offers outstanding educational oppor tunities in agriculture. Hines will graduate from Luling high school this semester. ‘Chessman’s Hopes Depends On Change In Supreme Court SAN FRANCISCO 0f>)—Con- | demned Caryl Chessman’s last V'-ilmp 0 , perilous ly thin after nearly 12--''years of tenacious legal battling, suspends today from an effort to switch one vote. That is the vote of at least one member of the California Supreme Court majority. Wednesday the court—after a series of rapid-fire developments—decided 4-3 against recommending clemency for the jeath row convict-author. Chessman is slated to die in the jreen-painted gas chamber at San Quentin at 10 a.m. Friday. He was convicted in 1946 of kidnaping with bodily harm, robbery and sex ual abuse in Los Angeles. California Gov. Edmund G. Brown, at sundown Wednesday, noted he cannot grant clemency unless the Supreme Court recom mends. The law puts this restric tion on granting mercy to men convicted previously of felony. Brown said any further action on his part depended on what hap pened in Chessman’s move today for reconsideration of the 4-3 vote. The convict’s attorney, George T. Davis, said his petition for re consideration would be accompan ied by a request for a hearing on a complete brief supporting the action. Davis said Wednesday night, af ter the U. S. Supreme Court, the California Supreme Court and the governor acted or commented on the case, that he didn’t have a chance to be heard on the 11th hour clemency appeal. In Sacramento, Governor Brown issued a statement saying he was constitutionally bound, to abide by the court’s recommendation re garding clemency. As to a re prieve—or postponement—of Fri day’s execution, Brown said he would not anticipate the court’s decision on the motion for recon sideration. Thus, 24 hours before the crucial time, Chessman’s fate still was in doubt. ^Jhe Olympia TYPEWRITERS Guaranteed As Long As You Are At A&M OTIS MCDONALD’S BRYAN BUSINESS MACHINES At a San Quentin new confer ence Wednesday the 38-year-old, hawk-faced Chessman expressed belief his 12-year court struggle “is all over.” T}: Only One Car Can Be Lowest Priced!
