vation regulations for the fall se

A&MHospital
To Distribute
Sabin Vaccine
Aggies attending the 1962
ROTC summer camp at Fort Sill,
Okla., brought back three first
places and six second places in
their overall company ratings.
The summer camp program in
volved approximately 1,400 Army
ROTC cadets fro m five states.
Some 220 Texas Aggies of the
Class of ’63 attended.
“As has usually been the case,
A&M cadets excelled, and with
the announcement of final camp
I’atings, many Aggies stood at the
top — first or second — in their
respective companies,” Lt. Col.
Thomas A. Hotchkiss, associate
professor of military science and
tactics, said.
These outstanding cadets, list
ed by their home addresses, are
as follows:
Bellaire — Roger M. John, first
place in his company, 4613 Olean
der.
El Paso — William R. Andrews,
Jr., second place in his company,
8069 Carpenter Road; Sterling P.
Bassett, second place, 5071 Mea
dowlark; William E. King, II, sec
ond place, 8101 Catalph; Fred E.
Luhm, second place, 905 Ash Lane.
Hondo — John H. Meyer, Jr.,
first place in his company, 1212
29th.
Houston — Lawrence W. Chris
tian, first place in his company,
6735 Fairway; James E. Nelson,
second place, 1737 Gardenia.
New Braunfels — Ray A. Kap-
pel, second place in his company,
775 Roosevelt.
Thei’e were 10 companies with
approximately 140 cadets in each
unit.
The six weeks of vigorous mili
tary ti'aining at Fort Sill ended
earlier this month. Practical ap
plication was emphasized in all
areas of training with all cadets
having opportunity, in command
positions, to demonstrate their
leadership abilities.
The College Hospital will have
Type I Sabin oral polio vaccine
available for students, college
personnel, their families and
other area residents from 9 a.m.
until 3 p.m. Friday at the hos
pital.
Dr. C. R. Lyons, Director of
Student IJealth Services, said
students will not have to have
permission from their parents
to take the vaccine, since some
type of polio vaccine will be
required for all students in the
coming school year.
Lyons said either the Salk or
Sabin vaccine would fill the re
quirement, but he pointed out
that to be safe, both should be
taken. A 25-cent contribution is
asked, but is not required.
He also said Types II and III

The club maintains a table with
radiogram blanks and instx-uctions
for filling these blanks out in the
connecting causeway just outside
the bowling alley. Also, a box for
the completed forms is located
there.
Checked Often
The box is checked periodically
for messages by club members.
Messages are sorted according to
their destination and urgency, and
are sent through the various ama
teur radio traffic netwox-ks.
“Suppose an Aggie decided at
the last minute to go home for a
weekend, and wished to notify his
gii'l, but didn’t want to pay for a
long distance phone call,” said
Stewart. “If he lived in Dallas,
for instance, his message would
be transmitted through the North
Texas Tx-affic Network to a Dal
las ham, who would relay the mes
sage to the girl by telephone.”
“If he lived in California, bis
message would be sent through
one of the national traffic net
wox-ks,” he continued.
Stewax't explained that these
networks ax-e the result of various
