Tears Of Joy Follow Nuptial Mass
Raul Jimenez reaches for a hankerchief to dry the tears

Cuban Girl, Aggie
Married Saturday
By TOM HOLBEIN
Battalion Managing Editor
A wedding in St. Mary’s Chapel
Saturday morning united an A. &
M. student from Cuba and his
homeland sweetheart after they
had been separated for 14 months.
Raul Jimenez, senior meteoro
logy major from Caribarien on,
Cuba’s northern coast, and Car
men Rosa Prieto had dreamed of
being together once again since
September of 1960, when Jimenez
planned to return to Cuba for the
Christmas holidays.
He was unable to do so.
Last summer, the couple de
vised plans for Carmen to come
to the United States.
But since there was no longer
an American embassy in Cuba, a
visa had to be obtained through
sources in this country.
That was the start of many
months of waiting and hoping, of
discouragement and dispair . . .
and finally, success.
“I’ll tell you. it took a lot of
patience on both our parts. I even
tried to marry her by proxy, but
complications through foreign em-
basies in Havana prevented this,
“said Jimenez.
Last September, Miss Prieto
wrote to her uncle in New York
seeking assistance in acquiring a
visa. After seven weeks of effort,
the uncle succeeded in securing the
papers.
However, during this time a new
law was passed in Cuba making
the procedure for leaving the
country more complicated.
This caused another prolonged
delay in Miss Prieto’s journey to
her intended’s side.
An unexpected telegram Nov. 23
informed the girl that she could
leave Cuba within 48 hours.
Jimenez said a month and a
half is the usual waiting time for
air passage out of his country.
By Nov. 25 she was in Miami,
and in for six days of customs and
immigration procedures. A week
ago last Saturday they met.

Surprised Winner
Claudia Boren registers the usual surprise at being an
nounced “Mrs. Texas A&M” of 1961. She is congratulated
by another unidentified candidate. The winner was picked
at the annual dance sponsored by the Aggie Wives Council.
Weather Towers Keep
A&M Professor Busy
Dr. William H. Clayton, associ
ate professor in the Department of
Oceanography and Meteorology, is
working on two Dallas tower pro
jects which will provide research
data for objective weather fore
casting. He also is doing research
work on an improved meterological
simulator.
One of the projects is sponsored
by the U. S. Army Signal Re
search and Development Labora
tory, Fort Monmouth, N. J., and
the other by the Geophysical Re
search Directorate of the Air Force
at Cambridge, Mas.
The projects, sponsored by the
Air Force and U. S. Army, are
concerned with the measurement
of meteorological parameters from
11 observation stations at Cedar
Hill, near Dallas.
One of these towers is a 1450
foot TV tower on which measure
ments of temperature and wind
are made at several levels. This
station is operated by the Uni
versity of Texas.
Of the remaining towers, two
are approximately 120 feet tall
and have instruments spaced at
different altitudes to measure
pressure, wind velocity and direc
tion, temperature and soil tempera
ture at 7 levels. Also being mea
sured are incoming, reflected and
net radiation.
Weather prediction, which is the
ultimate goal of any meteorological
study, has until recent times been
largely subjective. The meteorolog
ical parameters—wind, pressure,
temperature, humidity and cloud
cover, for the area in which the
forecast is applicable—have been
measured and applied to the solu
tion procedure. As a result, the
accuracy of a given forecaster
tends to improve as the forecast
er’s familiarity with the meteoro
logical history of the area increas
es.
With the advent of high-speed
electronic computers, more and
objective techniques, that is, de
finition of the physical system
based on solution of the equations
that describe the system.

So says the owner of the Wash

at baseball (“it's cooked”).
Basketball (“the public doesn’t

And, in this week’s Post, he
tells why football is tops.
