New Directory
Completion Set
By Early Fall
Material is being gathered by
the Association of Former Stu
dents for the 1962 Directory of
Former Students, published every
1 five years, and financed by contri
butions to the A&M Development
Fund.
The directory includes the grad
uate’s name, class, degree, major,
occupation, business and home ad-
dress’and number of children. This
year’s directory will also include
the present classes and the faculty
and staff of the college.
Information for the directory is
obtained through questionnaires
sent to all graduates of A&M. In
order to receive a copy, the for
mer student must have made a
contribution to the Development
Fund during the current school
year.
Hervey said that any 1962 grad
uate sending a contribution would
receive a copy of the new direc
tory. The remaining copies will
he distributed to future graduates
as long as the supply lasts, free
of charge.
Fire Hits
Dormitory
In Austin
AUSTIN UP) — A fire broke out
in a University of Texas men’s
dormitory Tuesday with no ap
parent injuries to the 63 residents.
The fire started about 4 p.m.
in the porter’s closet in the second
story of the old building. Firemen
nad the fire under control in an
'our. Most of the second story
'as destroyed.
The dormitory was situated on
tilt is known as the Ljttle Cam-
i and adjoins the university in-
^cholastic league buildings.
WASHINGTON UP)—The United
States expressed fear yesterday
that a new military dictatorship
has taken over in the Dominican
Republic. It weighed withdraw
ing U.S. recognition and substan
tial economic aid.
But U.S. officials said there are
no plans to send the American
fleet to Dominican waters as was
done late last year. Nor is action
by the Organization of American
States proposed at present, be
cause the new Dominican group
does not pose a threat to the hemi
sphere, they said.
The exceptionally sharp and
speedy Washington reaction
against Tuesday night’s Santo Do
mingo government overturn re
flected U.S. unhappiness at the
setback to laborious efforts to pro
mote democracy in the long-des
potic Caribbean country.
American officials hoped to
forestall a permanent takeover by
Gen. Pedro Rodriguez Echavarria,
the Dominican defense chief whom
U.S. authorities see as the strong
man behind the power switch.
And they wanted to disassociate
the United States from any dic
tatorship, aspecially with the hem
isphere foreign ministers’ meeting
on Communist-aligned Cuba com
ing up next week. They feel
Uncle Sam has had enough of be
ing linked, in Latin minds, with
the late dictator Rafael L. Tru
jillo, who ruled the Dominican Re
public for three decades.
Spearheading the U.S. effort
was a State Department announce
ment condemning the new Domin
ican ruling group as “apparently
a predominantly military junta.”
Lubbock, Texas UP) — “Every
year it gets harder to get into
college,” said 16-year-old James
Ward, “and I thought the soon
er I could get in the better.”
So the youth doubled up on
his high school' studies in Tacoma,
Wash, finished his junior and sen
ior work in a single year and came
to enroll at Texas Technological
College.
Both family precedent and per
sonnel experience qualified him for
the leap to higher education.
He’s the son of Dr. James F.
Ward Sr., a Tacoma opthamolo-
gist who—after nearly 30 years—
remains the youngest student ever
to take a master’s degree from
the state school here. The elder
Ward received the degree in 1932
when he was just 19.
James Jr. actually was graduat
ed from high school two years
ahead of schedule. He also covered
two years’ work while a fifth
grader.
Aside from the competition a-
among students seeking admission
to college, young Ward thinks
it’s a good idea to get there early
because you then have “time to
experiment and find out where
your true interest lies.”
He had two reasons for com
ing to Lubbock—because his fa
ther attended Texas Tech and be
cause a grandmother, Mrs. J. E.
Ward, makes her home here.
The younger than average col
lege freshman figures careful use
of study time and close concentra
tion, coupled with sports and re
creation, have contributed most to
his achievements.
Last year, while taking seven
so-called “solids” in high school
and at the same time working
on three college correspondence
courses for high school credit, he
found it helpful to work out a
system.
This meant utilizing not only
long periods to study but the
short intervals in between classes
and other activities. And then, he
said, you need “ to put your
whole mind on it.”
Young Ward likewise works hard
at swimming and likes to play
tennis.
