Senior Officers Clarify
Exes’ Association Questions
Seniors’ questions about Form
er Students Association magnetic
tape questionnaires were clarified
Thursday in a meeting of the sen
ior class officers.
According to senior class presi
dent Charles L. Blaschke, seniors
who do not yet know where they
will be living and working after
graduation should leave these ques
tions blank and return the ques
tionnaires to the Former Students
office.
In order to be listed correctly in
the Former Students Directory,
senior should notify the association
about their address, type of job
and place of employment as soon
as possible.
Seniors who will not know the
answers to these questions before
they leave A&M should send the
information to the association with
their first contribution.
Contributors may specify that
their donations be channeled to a
particular department or area of
need.
Money not earmarked for a spec
ial purpose will go into a general
fund.
The Former Students Associa
tion says that the size of contri
butions is not important. Main
purpose of the donation is to
get seniors identified with the as
sociation.
from both big blocs, the party
racked up a vote that could give
it the balance of power in the
campaigning already shaping up
for the presidency.

WASHINGTON — Another draft
— Goldwater move was launched
Monday and Sen. Berry Goldwater
said he is giving up trying to stop
efforts to get him into the presi

to such projects.
Goldwater, commenting on the
formation of a national commit
tee to draft him as the 1964 Re
publican presidential candidate,
repeated that he is “running only
in Arizona” for re-election to the
Senate.
“I’m not taking any position on
this darft movement,” he told a
reporter.
“It’s their time and their mon
ey. But they are going to have
to get along without any help
from me.”
ON FEB. 23, Phil Adams and
Doug Spellman of 4-A Puryear said
someone had entered their room.
Floyd Waller and Herbert Kothman
of 8-C Puryear also reported a
theft that weekend. Waller said
that the fifst-floor room was en

The following Saturday night,
March 2, thieves entered the room

items.
SINCE THE BEGINNING of the

radios, four electric razors, six
slide rules, seven textbooks and
two phonographs have been stolen
from the two dormitories. Other
articles, such as watches, clocks
and drawing kits, have also been
taken in the robberies.
“The reason we didn’t get under

. Group Agrees
To $390,000
For Academy
By RONNIE BOOKMAN
BaUalion Managing- Editor
AUSTIN—The Senate finance committee Monday threw
a life buoy to the Texas Maritime Academy, reporting out for
debate a bill including $390,000 for the TMA’s Galveston cam
pus.
The House has already passed its appropriations bill,
which does not provide for the young academy, now in its first
year of operation.
The Senate committee, chaired by Aggie-ex George Mof
fett of Chillicothe, asked for $456 million in general revenue
funds compared to the House bill which calls for only $437
million in general revenue funds.
THE SENATE bill could be debated on the floor some
time this week after being-L, r.;,TTr; t;, ~
placed on the calendar. ™
Hikers To Meet
In Walton Tonight
If the upper house fails to
trim the appropriations bill to
correspond to the House’s leg
islation, the two bills will go to
a conference committee composed
of five members of the House ap
propriations committee and five
members of the Senate finance
committee.
The maritime academy’s slice of
state funds could be deleted either
on the floor of the Senate, or in
the conference committee.
THE CONFERENCE committee
could also cut the appropriation
for the TMA in the process of
equalizing the two bills, which
must then be passed in its final
form by each of the houses.
Rep. David Haines of College
Station, a member of the House ap-
propiiations panel, told The Batta
lion Monday night that he would
not be appointed to the conference
group.
He said that there will probably
not be an Aggie-ex serving on
the conference committee from the
House.
Sen. Moffett, however, stands a
good chance of being appointed to
the committee. Speaker of the
House Byron Tunnell will appoint
the House members and Lt. Gov.
Preston Smith will appoint the
senators.
THE $390,000 awarded to the
TMA by the finance committee is
$9,000 less than the school asked
for. The figure includes federal
help and assistance, which means
that the state will he spending
slig-htly less than $100,000 per year
for 1964 and 1965.
Capt. Bennett M. Dobson, su
perintendent of the academy, had
predicted that the senate would
put the school back on a firm fin
ancial standing after being axed
by the House.
Those interested in taking a
50-mile hike April 20 have been
requested to meet in the Walton
Hall lounge Tuesday at 10 p.m.,
according to Bob Hood, coordi
nator of the hike.
The hike, scheduled for the
Saturday after the spring vaca
tion and the day before Aggie
Muster, is in accordance with
President Kennedy’s challenge
of several weeks ago.
To be included in the discus
sion is the provision of transpor
tation for those who cannot
make the full 50-mile distance.

of Pennsylvania.

WILLIAM H. RABEL
jor in the Division of Business Ad
ministration.
“WE ARE especially proud of
Rabel, as he is the first A&M stu
dent chosen as a Huebner Fellow,”
Dr. R. M. Stevenson, acting head
of the Division pf Business Ad
ministration, said.
Rabel’s interest in insurance
comes naturally. His father is an
insurance adjuster.
He now holds the American Gen
eral Life Insurance Award, Steven
son said. While a high school stu
dent at Harlingen, Rabel was chos
en as Rotarian Student of the
Year.
HE HAS WON distinguished
student honors for the last four
semesters, serves as a cadet first
g| lieutenant in the band and is vice
if president of the Insurance Society.
The Huebner Fellowships were
named in honor of the man con
sidered to be the father of insur
ance education. Funds are provid
ed by the S.S. Huebner Founda-
gj tion for Insurance Education and
the fellowship program is admin
istered by the University of Penn
sylvania.
The fellows are chosen not only
on the basis of academic record,
but in part upon the results of
personal interviews, Stevenson
said.
YR Club Hails
Sen. Schwartz
In Rules Fight
The Young Republicans Club has
elected officers and passed a reso
lution supporting 1 Sen. A. R.
Schwartz of Galveston in his fight
for open hearings in the Senate
on nominations made by the gov
ernor.
The resolution stated:
“Whereas, Sen. A. R. Schwartz,
of Galveston, is waging a fight in
the Texas State Senate to have
open hearings held on nominations
made by the governor which must
be approved by the Senate.
And, whereas, Sen. Schwartz is
encountering- undue opposition in
this effort by senators who would
rather deliberate in secret so as
not to be accountable to their con
stituents for their actions.
Be it hereby resolved that the
Texas A&M Young Republicans
Club goes on record in support of
Sen. Schwartz in hope that the
negative action taken by the Sen
ate thus far is not the final word
on open hearings of that body.”
Sen. Schwartz was also recog
nized and commended for his sup
port of appropriations for the
Texas Maritime Academy. A reso
lution was proposed to state that
commendation and to be voted on
at the next meeting of the club.
Elected to offices for next year
were Robert Eubank, chairman;
Don Rhodes, vice chairman; Mike
Hooper, secretary; and David Ter
ry, treasurer.
