of a large bronze plaque to the

The presentation took place

President Rudder and Mrs. E.
P. Humbert of Bryan, the profes

tation was John S. Rogers of Col
lege Station, president of the
TCSP.
“We are here to honor a per

his devotion to his chosen profes

fare of man. The benefits of his
work will serve many future gen

He described Humbert as an
outstanding educator and scien

“Perhaps ranking highest among
his many activities, other than
serving his family and A&M, was
serving the seed industry of Tex

the seed trade for almost 40 years,
first as a member of the original
State Seed and Plant Board, and
secondly as secretary-treasurer of
the Texas Certified Seed Producers
Inc.”

sity.

Congress Adds $88 Million
To Kennedy Space Program
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Spurred by the
Soviet man-in-orbit feat, the House
Space Committee Wednesday added
$88.7 million to the Kennedy ad
ministration’s 1962 space program.
Chairman Overton Brooks, D.-
La., said there is more to come.
At the same time, the House
Armed Services committee added
$337 million to an administration
defense measure for continued pro
duction of B-58 medium and B-52
heavy jet bombers.
Armed Services jCommittee
Chairman Carl Vinson, D.-Ga., said
“the time has not come yet” when
principal reliance can be placed on
the intercontinental ballistic mis
sile.
Vinson’s committee accepted the
administration decision to cut back
funds for the B-70 intercontinental
bomber, however, in approving a
$12.37-billion defense authorization
bill.
The Space Committee’s tenta
tive approval of an $88.7-million
increase in funds for the National
Aeronautics and Space Adminis
tration covered three major pro
jects
Apollo, which aims at a three-
man space laboratory orbiting the
earth and then the moon; Rover,
a radical new nuclear rocket en
gine;
Solid-fuel space boosters, which
many committee members think
offer a hope of getting ahead of
the Soviet Union in space.

Freshman Snag;
“Ladies’ Man” Title
OK, Hollywood, hang on to your
pants; there’s an Aggie in the
running for the title of national
“Ladies’ Man.” Larry Muehlstein,
freshman from Avoca, collected a
staggering total of 800 votes, to
win the right to be known as the
campus “Ladies’ Man,” and be en
tered in the national phase of the
coptest.
The 18-year-old agriculture edu
cation major in Company C-l won
the contest being sponsored by
The Battalion in conjunction with
Jerry Lewis’ latest effort, “Ladies’
Man.” The national prize is a date
with one of the flick’s 32 beautiful
starlets and an all expense paid
trip to Hollywood.
The prize for winning the
campus title won’t be announced
in this relatively Victorian news
paper, but, Muehlstein will be able
to enjoy his award the year round.
Over 1,700 votes were cast in
the contest. As a side thought, this
total is larger than the number of
ballots cast in either of the last
several campus-wide Student Sen
ate and class officer elections.
That shows where most Aggie’s
thoughts dwell.
Muehlstein’s favorite endorse
ment-getting tactic was to stand
in the post office in the Memorial
Student Center and asking for
votes as students checked their
mail boxes.
“Most people were more than
glad to sign my list,” he said.
“Only four persons refused to sign
for no reason at all.
