“I believe the turnout tomorrow

Our First Co-ed
Mrs. Lewis M. Haupt Jr., shown here grading her sixth
grade students’ papers, was surprised to learn that she
was the first to apply as a female graduate student at
A&M.
Woman Gains
For Graduate
Admission
Studies
By RONNIE FANN
Battalion News Editor
A Bryan school teacher has filed
her application for admission to
A&M’s graduate school in educa
tion, H. L. Heaton, college regis
trar, said Tuesday.
Mrs. Lewis M. Haupt Jr., a sixth
grade teacher in a Bryan elemen
tary school, may be the first to
break the 92-year old all-male
tradition. She is the wife of a
Class of ’27 electrical engineering
professor.
THE GRANDMOTHER of four
received her bachelors degree in
English and education from Har-
din-Simmons University in 1930,
and has taken graduate courses at
A&M during the summer sessions.
She is working toward her masters
degree in education.
Heaton said that although his
office had received nearly 15 casual
inquiries now, Mrs. Haupt is the
only female who has actually sub-
Baylor Prof,
Senator Attend
Meeting Here
Dr. James E. Wood Jr. of Baylor
University will be the principal
speaker at a discussion period
Thursday sponsored by the Campus
Religious Workers.
Topics scheduled for the session
at the Presbyterian Student Cen
ter are religion, legislature and
public education. The discussion
begins at 7:30 p.m.
A panel discussion will be held
in accordance with the topics, with
W. J. Graff, dean of instruction,
moderating. Other members of
the panel will be Senator A. R.
Schwartz of Galveston; A. O. Bo
wen, superintendent of the Bryan
Public Schools and Taylor Riedel,
superintendent of the College Sta
tion Public Schools.
Wood, who has done much re
search in the field of church and
state, is Professor of Religion at
Baylor.
The editor of “A Journal of
Church and States,” Wood holds
membership in the American As
sociation of University Professors,
the National Association of Bible
Instructors, the American Associa
tion of Professors of Missions, and
the National Advisory Council of
Protestants and Other American
United for Separation of Church
and State.
mitted an application. Applica
tions by women will be treated
the same as everyone’s, Heaton
said, and Mrs. Haupt' will receive
her instructions by mail as soon
as her request has been processed.
“I DIDN’T DREAM I would be
the first ope,” Mrs. Haupt told
The Battalion, “the only reason I
am applying now is to get all
my past work at A&M straight.”
She plans to enroll in the summer
terms only until she has enough
hours for a degree.
Under the new decision by the
board of directors, Mrs. Haupt will
be eligible for a degree-under the
old system she was not.
“Naturally I am in favor of
the co-education from a personal
point of view, and I feel that it
will mean a happy situation at
the college,” she commented.
MRS. HAUPT’S admission is ex
pected to meet with some protest
from some members of the student
body. Already some freshman
have shaved their heads under a
penalty of four hours in the bull
ring as a measure of protest.
Her subsequent admission to the
college will come after a struggle
beginning as far back as 1957 to
get women admitted to the regular
sessions.
Until Saturday’s board decision,
the nearest females got to the
gates of A&M was in 1960, when
three women, Margaret E. Allred,
Sarah C. Hutto and Mary Ann
Parker, took their case to the Su
preme Court of the United States.

them admission solely on the basis
of sex. They were refused ad
mission by Texas courts, and the
U. S. Supreme Court decided that
only the A&M board of directors
had the power to admit coeds.
At that time, the board I’efused
to admit the three although the
girls claimed they could not major
in their respective fields of study
in any other college in Texas. In
Saturday’s decision this same rea
son was said to be a major factor
in the board’s change of opinion.
Also taken into account by the
members of the governing body
were strong urgings by Sen. W. T.
(Bill) Moore and the results of a
student poll taken last fall, favor

and representatives, and rep
resentatives from the Apart
ment Council.
Students who are slated to
hold positions in student govern
ment and the Corps of Cadets next
year have also been invited to
attend the session.
THE MEETING will be directed
to “a clarification of the Board’s
position and the discussion of
questions with respect to the
Board’s decision on co-education
and other matters,” stated Sheldon
Best, president of the student body.
Best asked President Earl Rudder
to arrange the meeting’ with Evans
after the suggestion was made
Monday during the president’s
meeting with the student body.
Jeffery Harp, president of the
Civilian Student Council, told The
Battalion Tuesday night, “I am
disappointed that the student body
has not been asked to at least sit
in on this meeting inasmuch as
the request for Evans to discuss
this issue was made at the student
assembly Monday.”
“I FEEL that many students will
be likewise disappointed at not
being allowed to personally hear
the answers given by Evans,” Harp
concluded.
Indications are that Evans will
first answer a group of questions
which will be submitted to him
beforehand, and then the meeting
will be thrown open to questions
from the floor.
IN ESSA Y CONTEST
Architecture Fish
Wins $20 Award
Leopoldo Montalvo, freshman
architecture student from Mexico,
received a $20 award from Presi
dent Earl Rudder Tuesday for win
ning the Bryan-College Station
Pan American essay contest.
A similar award was given to a
Latin American student at Bryan’s
Allen Military Academy. The pre
sentations were made on the 11:30
morning program, “Town Talk,”
on KBTX television.
The prizes were contributed by
the local Pan American Round
Table and Memorial Student Center
Directorate, according to round
table director Mrs. Frank Gould.
MRS. GOULD said that the con
test was announced by individual
invitation to all Latin American
students at A&M and Allen Aca
demy. The foreign students were
asked to write on “What has meant
most to me during my stay in the
United States.”
“The object of the contest,” ex
plained Mrs. Gould, “was to help
us understand the Latin American
students better and to recognize
ways the round table, school, and
community can be more helpful to
the new boys as they come to the
new country.”
She added that in the end, “it
would help our countries under
stand each other better.”
“In the end, it would help our
countries understand each other
better. It is our small contribution
to Western Hemisphere peace.”
Mrs." Gould said that the idea
for the contest came from Mrs.
Mabel Clare Thomas, who spent
three years in Lima, Peru with her
husband after his retirement from
the A&M Department of Entomo
logy.
THE MSC Directorate and the
YMCA wei - e praised by Mrs. Gould
for their help with the contest.
Judging the essays were Mrs.
Gladys Martin, Mrs. Eugene Rush,
and Dr. Frank Gould, associate pro
fessor of range and forestry.

Space Director
For Grumman
Lectures Here
The director of space vehicle
development for Grumman Aircraft
in New York spoke Tuesday night
to the A&M student section of the
Institute of Aerospace Sciences in
the Chemistry Building.
Saul Ferdman discussed “The
Orbiting Astronomical Observatory
— the New Highway of Astro
nomy” before the group of about
50 students and faculty members.
Demonstrating a model of a
planned space project, the Orbiting
Astronomical Observatory, Ferd
man said within two years the
satellite will be launched into or
bit around the earth and will sys
tematically map the heavens for
the first time.
Ferdman said the O. A. O. pro
ject, if successful, will be the
“greatest advance in astronomy in
several hundred years.”
Ferdman’s talk was illustrated
with slides, and he presented a 30-
minute sound film in color describ
ing the operations necessary in
building the space vehicle.
The Grumman official began his
career in the aerospace industry
after graduating from New York
University with a B.S. degree in
aeronautical engineering in 1948.
He worked for two years at NACA,
Langley Research Center, after
which he returned to the university
to get his masters degree.
In other business, the society
elected officers for next year.
Texas Delegations Speak For,
Against Watershed Programs
WASHINGTON UP) — Texas
delegations spoke for and against
a Brazos River watershed project
near Bryan in Big Creek in Braz
os county Tuesday.
The Soil Conservation Service
said the building of 6 small dams
would cost the government $923,-
000 and local interests $422,000.
The report said 29 land owners
and about 6,000 acres would be
affected. The flood zone of Big
Creek would be cut from 2,800 to
270 acres.
Speaking for proponents, W. J.
Terrell of Navasota said the plans
call for 24 miles of channel im
provements which would protect
low croplands and improve their
pasture lands.
“We feel this. plan meets our
needs,” he said.
For the opposition, Mrs. Donald
Glover said she represented own
ers of 9,000 acres in the watershed
who contend the need for the proj
ect has been exaggerated.
Mrs. Glover said elimination of
two proposed small dams would
save $134,000.
The proposal was taken und,,er
consideration by the subcommit
tee headed by Rep. W. R. Poage,
D-Tex.
