Heye stressed the fact that al though A&M has a proud heritage, a minority in years past have man aged to disgrace the school by act ing like animals, both on and off campus. He said the four words, Soldier - Statesman - Knightly Gen tleman, were written to describe Sully, but that even today they should be applicable to all Aggies. Another point Heye stressed in talking to the freshmen was em phasizing of manners at Tessie- land this weekend, both to one’s date and to the people with whom a person mixes. Pie said man ners should be watched where- ever the Aggies go. ted on the basis of ability as in dicated by refei'ence reports, aca demic records and other evidence of achievement. The program is now in its sec ond year of operation. Appli cants may apply to study at one of 152 designated colleges and uni versities, including A&M, which are authorized to confer doctoral degrees in at least one of the sci ences. Applications from the 16 A&M students will be forwarded to the National Science Foundation, where they will be evaluated for the NSF by a panel of scientists chosen by the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council. At A&M, Dean Page said he will appoint a committee to screen the applicants down to the 16 stu dents most likely to stand com petition at the national level. Vespers Services Set Tuesday Night Vesper services will be hold Tuesday night in the Interfaith Chapel at 7:05 under the direction of 2nd Wing Chaplain Bob Comp ton, Bill Shenkir, president of the YMCA Cabinet, said recently.

ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civiliza tion can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should at tend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children’s sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily. Day Sunday Monday Tuesday Book Chaplet Verses Proverbs 15 10 'Deuteronomy 19 9-10 Psalms 67 1-2 Psalms 119 5-6 I Timothy 1 8-9 Hebrews M 22-23 Mark 1 16-18 CROSSROADS Here’s what happens when four super-highways meet—a far cry from that simple “plus mark” we used to call an intersection! Life is becoming more complex, isn’t it? No longer is it simply a matter of finding the right road. Today you can’t even get on the right road until you find the right approach. And you had better be mighty sure of the direction you want to go, or you’ll find your self speeding away from your destination on a turn pike that permits no U-turn. As life has become more complex, the value of a deep and abiding religious conviction has become more evident. Against a background of confusion and un certainty the confident assurance of Christian faith is sharply silhouetted. And the millions who have turned to the Church for truth and guidance have made a thrilling discovery. The Way of Christ is still just as clear, direct, and inspiring as it was to those who heard it first by the Galilean road. Copyright 1959, Keister Adv. Service, Strasburg, Va.
