Harvard Biologist To Lecture Friday Dr. Carroll M. Williams, a pro fessor of biology at Harvard Uni versity, will speak Friday night at 8 p.m. in the Biological Sciences Lecture Room on the topic, “Hor mones in the Development of In sects.” “Because of his ability to present his research in an interesting and exciting manner, Williams is in heavy demand as a lecturer, and has to reject many invitations to speak,” Graduate School Dean Wayne C. Hall said. Williams, in a series of simple experiments, demonstrated the role of the various glands of internal secretion in the metamorphosis of insects. He participated in the isolation of the hormones involv ed. During his basic studies of the physiology and biochemistry of insects, and of the development al process, he made many contri butions that have wide implications in many fields. The lecturer is spending a sab batical leave doing research after completing a three-year tour as chairman of the Department of Biology at Harvard. During his tenure as chairman, he continued bis research and teaching, though much of his energy was used in NASA Coordinator Schedules Address For Tau Beta Pi Dr. F. C.

(AP Wirephoto) Army Sophs Study Rudder’s Rangers Sophomore Army ROTC cadets discovered this week that military history wasn’t made entirely by strangers — one of the command ers they are studying is a man they see every day: President Earl Rudder. Rudder was commander of a Ranger force which lead the D- Day assault on France in 1944. This campaign is being studied in depth as a part of the history course which covers Allied opera tions in Europe during World War II. Then a lieutenant colonel, Rudder was assigned to the task of lead ing a composite Ranger battalion on an assault of the regged Nor mandy cliffs of Point-du-Hoe to destroy heavy Germany artillery firing on American invasion beach es. Gen. Omar Bradley, command ing the landings of the 1st Army said that “no American in my command has ever been wished a more difficult task than that which befell the 34-year-old com mander of this Ranger force . . .” Lead ashore by Rudder, the Rangers scaled the cliffs under heavy German firing. They des troyed the guns after two days of bitter fighting and high losses. Though wounded three times, the Aggie commander lead his batta lion throughout the assault and for his heroism was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. 1962 - 1963 TEXAS A&M COLLEGE DIRECTORY of Offices — Staff — Students Price *1.00 Now On SALE At The Student Publications Office Y M C A Bldg.
