That school offers a diversity of degrees comparable to many of the greatest universities in the United States, including several degrees that aren’t offered any where else in Texas,” he added. Barron said A&M was geared to 1900 standards and for that rea son would continue to lose money, top faculty members and students. “After the football season there is nothing to do but study,” he said, “and it takes more than study to keep a great school great. “Letting women into A&M would not only help the school scholastically, morally and finan cially, but would help to make greater the greatest school in the world,” Barron said. As to the status of the Corps of Cadets if women were admitted, Barron said he had talked to “the top ROTC man in the Pentagon,” and “he wondered why A&M had n’t gone coeducational before.” Barron said he predicted the Class of ’62 would take Aggie co eds to the Ring Dance that year. “I think it would be safe to esti mate there will be from 1,000 to 1,500 women going to school at A&M within,” he added, added.

Dixon can strip a fiye- foot rattlesnake of its venom with out blinking an eye. His lectures on the characteristics and habits of poisonous snakes, climaxed by hourly milking of huge rattlers, were the main features of a De partment of Wildlife Management exhibit recently. However, you probably wouldn’t guess that he is also working on a less illustrious project that is far more important, the detection of the carriers of the costly and sometimes deadly disease ornitho sis. Commonly called parrot fev er, the sickness hits domestic tur key flocks throughout the state, and even infects people working in poultry dressing plants. Hunting Disease Working as a biologist for the Department of Microbiology in the School of Veterinary Medicine, Dixon is attempting to discover what wildlife is carrying the dis ease to the turkeys, and what can be done about it. The first phase of Dixon’s work is to collect blood and tissue samp les from various wild birds and animals and determine if they are carriers of the disease. Most of his collecting work is concentrated along the Texas Gulf Cdast, and during the bird nesting season he makes numerous trips to small is lands in the Gulf of Mexico. The second phase of his research involves collecting live specimens, innoculating them with the dis ease organism and then checking to see if or how long they will be active carriers. Flying Home!
