JERUSALEM—Adolf Eichmann
to portrayed Tuesday as a brutal
man with life and death powers
over Jews in Nazi-occupied Eu
rope who became bitterly frus
trated if a single one slipped
through his fingers.
Asst. Israeli Prosecutor Gavriel
lach, in a relentless attack on
Eiehmann’s claim that he only
obeyed orders, introduced docu
ment after document showing that
the former Gestapo lieutenant
colonel wielded influence far be-
Jond his rank.
Israel charges that Eichmann,
fhief of the Gestapo’s Jewish Af
fairs Section, was the man who
carried out Nazi Germany’s cam-
laign to exterminate European
lewry.
The evidence introduced by
lach showed Eichmann even at
tempted to interfere with a hotel
in the neutral enclave of Lichten-
ttein in. Switzerland where he
leard that “Jews were served
cod and could get a cup of cof
ee.”
“Eichmann’s department was
(llways on guard,” Bach declared.
In what he called a typical docu-
inent, Bach submitted a cable
from Eichmann sent to Paris Ge-
rtapo headquarters after he heard
tf attempts in Switzerland to ar
range passage abroad for a South
Imerican Jew named Gollub.

asking what should be done with
a Jew named Weiss who had in
vented a light bulb which could
be used in blackouts.
‘Weiss already has registered
details of his invention with the

FOR CIVILIANS
Room Reservation
Deadline Disclosed
Civilian students have until June
3 to reserve rooms in civilian dor
mitories for the fall semester, it
was announced yesterday by Hous
ing Manager Harry L. Boyer.
Boyer outlined the following pro
cedure for current students who
wish to reserve rooms for the fall
semester:
(1) Contact the housemaster of
the dormitory concerned by June
3 and be assigned to his fall roster.
(2) Send in room reservation
cards and a $6 dollar deposit to
the Fiscal Office by July 31. After
that date assignments will be made
to summer students and those who
have sent in reservations.
“Students making reservations
as above,” Boyer said, “will have
room priority over students dur
ing the summer, provided their
room reservations are in by July
31.”
Students who go to summer
school must use the same pro
cedure as students who do not go
to summer school in order to in
sure obtaining desired rooms in the
fall, Boyer added.
“.Students, who do not exercise
the above option must send in their
room reservation with the $6 de
posit as usual and may request
the dormitory of their choice on
the reservation card at that time,”
Boyer said.
But consideration for priority on
choice rooms will be given |tudent
government representatives and
other students actively engaged in
dormitory affairs, Boyer said.
Dormitories that will be used
for civilian students during the
fall semester are Puryear, Mitchell,
Milner, Legett, Ramps 1 through
6 of Law Hall, Ramps A through E

Snyder High School dominated
the Texas Industrial Arts Fair for
the second consecutive year here
Saturday, winning top honors in
five of fourteen divisions in the
Industrial Arts Project competi
tion. Snyder strengthened its posi
tion with a large share of the first,
second and third place ribbons
awarded to winners in 60 sub-di
visions of the program.
A strong showing was made by
Houston area schools as Spring
Branch, Lamar and Jones high
schools won a total of five division
awards. Other division awards
went to Victoria, Odessa and Ball
(Galveston) high schools.
David Odum of Odessa was
awarded a trophy for the outstand
ing project of the fair, a 14-foot
outboard motor boat. A plaque for
the best creative design went to
Knox Kennedy, Milby High of
Houston, for his model home entry.
John Mandel, a junior high
school student at La Marque, re
ceived a plaque for the most in
genious project, an electronic
game.
More than 500 students repre

Texas Industrial Arts Association.
The fair closed Saturday night
with an awards banquet. The
principal speaker was Dean Fred
J. Benson of the School of Engi
neering. Benson told the assembly
that craftsmanship of the caliber
exhibited at the fair is in the
Amei'ican tradition of skilled ma
nipulation of the tools and ma
terials of industry. He challenged
the students to set high goals for

Vinson To Discuss
‘Fountain Of Youth’
Dr. David B. Vinson will deliver
a graduate lecture tomorrow at
8 p.m. in the Biological Sciences
Lecture Room.
The speaker is director of the
Texas Academy for the Advance
ment of Life Sciences, in Houston.
His subject will be “Fountain of
Youth—Fact or Fiction?”
Medical science’s comparatively
recent increased concern with the
problems of growing old has pro
duced some hopeful reports, Dr.
Wayne C. Hall, Dean of the Grad
uate School, said today in an
nouncing the lecture.
“Although Russian scientists
appear to be the most optimistic
regarding chances for prolonging
life and cushioning old age, Amer
ican scientists are mare pessimistic
about finding a medical ‘Foun
tain of Youth.’ Most scientists
do agree that aging is not neces
sarily something that is inevit
able—that certain changes are as
sociated with deficiency diseases
or metabolic abnormalities and
that there is hope for unlocking
at the cellular level the reasons
for aging. Regardless of the
cause of aging it is an accepted
fact that more persons are living
longer and this poses a social-
economic problem, not only at
present but a problem that will
become more acute with time.”
Vinson has had a distinguished
career in many aspects of aging
in living systems. He received
his AB degree from UCLA in 1941
and his PhD from the University
of London in 1952 in the fields of
psycho-biology, neuropsychology
and psychology. Vinson has had
experience as a clinical psychol
ogist for the Air Force, Glasier-
Rissler Clinic and William Beau
mont General Hospital at El Paso,
and Baylor University College of
Medicine. He has served as a
research psychologist at the Uni
versity of Texas Medical Branch,
Galveston; the Institute of Psychi
atry, University of London, and
Southwestern Respiratory Center
at Houston, as well as a consultant
to many private and Federal hos
pitals and clinics. At present he
is Director of Texas Academy for
the Advancement of Life Sciences.
He served as a delegate to the
White House Conference on Ag
ing, the International Conference
of Gerontology and is a member
of the Governor’s Advisory Com
mittee on Aging. He is a membe-
of many professional and learned
societies including the American
and British Psychological Associa
tions, the Gerontologic Society
and the American Academy of
Psychotherapists, and has pub
lished extensively neuropsychol
ogy, clinical psychology and psy
chological decline.

Bob Hunt, Jr., widely known in the state for his Cham
ber of Commerce and citizenship activities, has been named
director of Century Study at A&M.
The System Board of Directors authorized on April 22
the organization of a long range planning study, called the
“Century Study.” to determine goals to guide the college
through the next 15 years of its first century of service to
Texas, the nation and the world.
Out of the study will also emerge methods for the attain
ment of goals recommended for the institution by a lay citi
zen Century Council committee and the college faculty and
staff Committe on Aspirations.
The plan is aimed at devel- 4
oning to the fullest, in line
with needs of the state, dur
ing the period between this,
its 85th year, and its 100th
anniversary 'in 1976. About two
years will be devoted to making
the long range plans.
Hunt said the Board of Directors
will appoint a lay citizen council of
100 members to be known as the
Century Council. Members will not
be officially connected with the
college but will represent a cross
section of Texas interests.
“The task before the council will
be that of surveying the college
and its components and seeking
to discover that service roles the
institution should prepare to play
in assisting citizens of the state
meet various challenges confront
ing them over the next 15 years,”
Hunt said.
He said nominations for mem
bership on the Century Council
may be made from now until July
1. They should be submitted to
the Board of Directors in care of
the Director of Century Study at
A&M College.
The Century Council will begin
its study in a series of meetings to
get underway after Sept. 1 of this
year. A written report of the
council’s findings and recommenda
tions will be presented June 1,
1962, to the College Board of Di
rectors.
Functioning concurrently with
the Century Council will be the col
lege facuty and staff Committee
On Aspirations to guide the con
tinuing improvement of the
school’s services to Texas. This in
ternal effort will be administered
by a committee appointed by Presi
dent Earl Rudder.
