On Area Between
Law, Puryear Hall
Work is progressing to remove
the sunken garden area between
Law and Puryear Halls across from
the YMCA.
$7,100 was set aside for land
scaping and installing a sprink
ler system which will replace the
sunken garden area which was con
structed when the dormitories were
first built.
David R. Thornton, superinten
dent of the ground maintenance
department said the area will be
filled and developed with a new
turf area with an underground
sprinkler system installed.
Thornton said plans call for the
installation of the sprinkling sys
tem and turf to be completed by
Sept. 1. He said they hoped the
area would show signs of growth
by the time students arrived in
the middle of September.
He added that maintenance trou
ble would be cured and the stu
dents would have a safer place in
which to exercise.

describes the study as an at-

to force the production
of useful and novel compounds
from the mould.” The mould is a
source of medically useful com
pounds.
Taber joined the A&M faculty
last September. The microbiologist
is the author of more than 40
publications.
Baldauf was awarded a $12,000
grant for continued study of the
morphology or form and structure
of the skull of a family of frogs
known as Leptodactylidae. When
he received a $17,600, three-year
grant in 1961 he described detailed
research into the cranial morph
ology of frogs as “virtually un
touched."
A couple of months ago, six
A&M University students volun
teered to spend their summer
months overseas as participants of
two international exchange pro
grams.
What has happened since then ?
Here’s what Frank Bemgen of
Chillicothe, now in Egypt, writes:
“Our plane landed in Cairo about
10 p.m. — but a day late.”
“Had a little trouble explaining
to (Egyptian) custom officials
where we got six Egyptian pounds.
After an hour, they allowed us
to keep the money and continue on
our way."
“I think I got a fairly good pic
ture of Mrs, Nasser. She and a
group of delegates to the Arab con
ference were not more than 15 feet
from us.”
Berngen is one of many Amer
ican students participating in
“Operation Crossroads Africa," an
international exchange program
designed “to promote peace
through a better understanding of
various peoples of the world."
Berngen’s job is teaching peo
ple who don’t speak English to
swim. Three Ameerican girls in
his group conduct recreational
games for 310 children, and Bern
gen often helps out.
Bob Barsh, a wildlife manage
ment major from Brady, is spend
ing the summer in Turkey.

He writes (before Turkey’s re
cent attack on Greece):
“The Turks are famous for their
hospitality, and our first night in
Istanbul verified this fact. A ra
ther well-to-do Turkish gentleman
gave us a party on the European
side of Bosphorus.”
“Our table was located right at
the edge of that famous stream,
linking the Black Sea with the Sea
of Marnara. We tried Turkish
folk dances, which are loads of
fun but rather silly-looking when
the participants included awkward
Americans,” Barsh continues.
“Turks are very concerned about
maintaining their identity,” the
Aggie writes. “The same Turk
who may be hurt if you don’t like
his Turkish coffee will listen for
hours to Italian and American
music.”
From England, Terry Oddson of
Dallas reports: “This is one of
the most inspiring parts of the
world It is not at all difficult to
imagine how men like Wordsworth
found the necessary inspiration to
create their works.”
Garry Tisdale of Tyler is living
with a family in Talca, Chile. His
“foster father” is a high school
teacher of English, and his “broth
er” is a student at the University
of Chile.
Bob Wimbish of Milford also
refers to “my family” in Italy.

Harrington Invited
To White House
For Luncheon
Chancellor M. T. Harrington of
the A&M University System has
been invited to have luncheon at
the White House Thursday with
President Johnson.
He is one of a group of chief
officers of leading State Univer
sities throughout the U.S. who
have been asked to meet with the
President to discuss the needs of
higher education as these needs
involve the development of the
states and various regions.
The President’s telegram to Dr.
Harrington, apropos of these needs,
read: “I am deeply interested in
these studies and (wish) to fur
ther them in any way I can.”
Outdoor Lights
To Illuminate
Campus Scenes
John Watson of Dallas, whose
specialty is creating artificial
moonlight, has been given ap
proval to light outdoor scenes on
the A&M University campus.
Watson, one of the nation’s top
landscape illuminators, will pro
vide outdoor lighting for the All
Faiths Chapel and the water foun
tain triangle across from the
chapel at Houston and Jones street.
Installation of the lighting for
the A&M project is underway, and
Watson feels the work will be com
pleted by Sept. 1.
Chapel area lighting is a gift
of R. Wofford Cain of Dallas, one
of A&M’s most distinguish
alumni who is chairman of the
Board of Southern Union Gas Com
pany and Aztec Oil Company.
A 1943 graduate , of A&M, Wat
son has illuminated more than 500
gardens during the past five years,
ranging in size from 10 by 15 feet
to 17 acres.
Among his illumination projects
is one in Saskatchewan, Canada,
that is expected to continue for 100
years.
East and north views of the
chapel will be lighted to simulate
a moonlight scene, David R. Thorn
ton, superintendent of Grounds
Maintenance Department, explain
ed.
Concealed lights also will high
light the water fountain and tri
angle in front of the chapel, Thorn
ton added. Lighting for this area
will be given by Mr. and Mrs.
Watson.
Watson’s work has taken him to
East and West coasts and north
to Canada, although most of his
clients are from the Southwest.
Time magazine called the Aggie
“the busiest practitioner of a fast
growing trade," and “Reader's Di
gest” referred to him as “today’s
most far-ranging practitioner.”

the Klu Klux Klan, and Richard J. Hanna, 21, an admitted
member of the American Nazi Party, pose for a picture
following their arrests in Cincinnati. Brandenburg was
