Rudder Eighteen years ago, shortly after the World War II D-Day invasion of Normandy, a corporal was har boring a colonel during a lull in the fighting. “Lou,” said the officer to the corporal, “do you think you’ll go into the barber trade when you get back to the states?” “Well,” said the corporal to the colonel, “right now, I’m wondering if I’ll ever get back.” “Don’t worry. You will,” the officer said calmly. It turned out that the colonel was right. But the corporal had reason to be apprehensive. He, the colonel and other members of the Second Ranger Battalion had just survived one of the deadliest encounters of the entire war—the Pointe du Hoc mission of the Nor mandy invasion. And there was plenty of tough combat ahead. Last week, that corporal visited his former colonel on the A&M campus. He was Louis Lisko of Brackenridge, Penn., owner and operator of a barber shop. His colonel was Earl Rudder, now a SERVING BRYAN and COLLEGE STATION x SAM HOUSTON ZEPHYR Lv. N. Zulch 10:08 a.m. Ar. Dallas . . 12:47 p.m. Lv. N. Zulch Ar.

Lisko came here for a two-day visit after an invitation by Rudder when they attended the bi-annual Ranger reunion last year at Balti more, Md. Despite the president’s busy schedule, he managed to find time to reminisce with his visitor about those first harrowing days of the invasion of France. Lisko was Col. Rudder’s radio corporal and signal lamp operator in what Gen. Cmar Bradley de scribed as the most difficult mis sion of the Normandy campaign. Pointe du Hoc was a fortified cliff overlooking the beach and topped by a battery of big German guns. It was the job of the Rang ers to hit the beach before the main invasion force, scale the cliff and knock out the guns threatening the invasion ships. Col. Rudder’s landing craft was the first to land. The mission was successful, but after two and a half, days of fighting, only 90 of the 225 Rangers in the assault were able to walk away. Although the colonel ivas among the wounded, Lisko said he refused to quit lead ership of his men. “Many of the Rangers on the Pointe owe their lives to Col. Rudder because of his calmness and inspiration during those days of hard fighting,” Lisko said. Accompanying Lisko on his trip to Texas were his wife, Ruth, and two sons, Gary, 14, and David, 12. They spent five days at Galvdston before coming to College Station. promptly as the same matures the entire assessment shall be collectible together with reasonable attorney fees and cost of collection, if incurred. VI The improvements in each unit constitute an entirely separate district and independent unit, and the proposed assessment for the improvement in each unit are in no wise affected by any fact or circumstance in connection with any other unit all to the same extent and as fully as if entirely separate proceedings had separate hearings, and separate notices thereof ordered. VII The City Secretary of the City of College Station is directed to give notice to the owners of property abutting upon the said portions of streets named to be improved an'd to all others interested, of the time, place and purpose of such hearings and of all matters and things by causing a substantially correct copy of this ordinance to be pub lished at least three times in a newspaper published in and of general circulation in the City of College Station, Texas, the first of which publication shall be made at least ten days before the date of such hearing, and by such publication all owners of property abutting upon said portions of said streets and avenues, whether such owners be named herein or not and whether the property be correctly described herein or not, as well as to all others in any wise interested therein or to be affected thereby; shall be and are duly notified and no error or mistake in the name of any property owner, in the description of any property or in the amount of any proposed assessment shall in anywise affect or invalidate such notice or any assessment levied pursuant thereto, and the real and true owners of such abutting property shall be and are by such notice duly and fully notified. The City Secretary is further directed, but not required to give further notice of such hearing by causing a substantial copy of such published notice to be mailed to each owner of property abutting upon such portions of said streets and avenues, but all such notices by mail shall be only cumulative of such notice by advertisement and publication, and said notice by advertisement and publication shall in all cases be sufficient and binding whether or not any other kind or character of notice be given.

Geisweidt brings to five Aggies who have volunteered for Peace Corps or similar work—three Peace Corps, one friends service and one International Voluntary Services, Intc. Although Geisweidt was not an agricultural major, he was hired as an agricultural technician be cause of being reared on a Texas ranch and having had six years experience as a Texas 4-H Club boy. Two other Texas 4-H Club boys, Marion H. Ford of Paris and Jerry W. Dupy of Goram are on the rural development team to Santo Do mingo. Hiring of these farm and ranch boys with agricultural club experience points out the great need of trained experienced agri cultural workers in the Peace Corps.
