The 19-year-old student suffered damaged spleen, a punctured mg, broken ribs and other in- iries. DeAtley’s fall occurred about p.m. Monday. He underwent xgery for internal injuries later lat evening. The attending physician said leAtley’s condition was slightly nproved, although he remained i the critical list. Morris A. Maddox of Campus ecurity said it was believed that ie pre-dental student from Karnes ity was sitting on his bed near ie window leaning- against the wen when the accident occurred. Observers noted that DeAtley’s 11 was partially broken by a ash. They added that he was mscious immediately after the ill and complained of chest pains liile awaiting- an ambulance.

Captain Bennett C. Dodson, head f Maritime Academy cadets at l&M, said the lectures will be on mclear engineering. The talks ’ill be open to sophomore and Hnior students. A Todd Shipyard spokesman said lie engineers will not be instruc- tftt':"'."' j ors, but will serve as lecturers to HE BEST, fta cadets. The new home which will house Jr* maritime students is one of ie main buildings of the old Fort Irockett. It will eventually house 150 cadets but next year will be wipied by the 23 cadets now Strolled. Dodson said the building will tontain dormitory rooms, class tooms and a cafeteria capable of fading over 150 people. The dormitory rooms will be styled like modern motel rooms aid each will be shared by two tadets. I CED AT {VICE SHOP. 'LUS big ip SERVICE i JR. MGR. Shortly before noon Tuesday, DtAtley regained consciousness and asked for his parents. Mr. and Mrs. B. P. DeAtley, the hoy’s parents, arrived in Bryan shortly before midnight Monday from Karnes City where the father is an oil field worker. DeAtley also has two brothers, ag-ed 15 and 10. 172 Freshmen Are Expected At Adjunct More than 170 freshmen are ex pected Sunday at Junction as the A&M Adjunct opens for another summer session of two six-weeks terms. The program for freshmen has a 50 per cent enrollment increase this year. Construction of new facilities made the boost possible. One hundred and seventy-two freshmen have been cleared for admission to the first six-week program at the Adjunct, Director W. D. Kutach said before closing his office here Tuesday in prepara tion for the trip to Junction. Almost 50 advanced students in civil engineering and geology also will use the Adjunct facilities. They will do field work as part of their academic training. The first six-week term will end July 12 and the second term, for which a few openings remain, be gins July 15. Regular college courses includ ing several open only to special students are planned for the fresh men. The Adjunct program, begun in 1951 to bridge the gap between high school and college, offers in dividual instruction in a summer camp atmosphere. The program includes an intensive intramural sports program. Its facilities are located on the banks of the Llano River. Kutach said the freshmen will pay their fees and receive cabin assignments Sunday. Monday, the students will take mental and physical tests and receive home work assignments due Tuesday as classes begin. Advanced students include 36 enrolled in civil engineering and 12 in geology. Kutach said 17 faculty and staff members will be at the Adjunct for the first six weeks. It’s Over!

AS PART OF PEACE PROGRAM Four Aggies Plan Work In Europe, Four A&M students will partici pate in Peace Corps-type activities abroad this summer. Two will live in Europe and two in Africa. The Aggies will act as part of a program based on the theory that significant advances can be made toward world peace at the individual level. The plan calls for introducing* people of one country to individuals of another through the basic. social structure of the family. ONE MEMBER of the quartet, lanky basketball star Lee Walker, will swap two and a half months of life in Three Rivers for an equal amount of time with a family in Yugoslavia. Walker, at present, doesn’t know anything about his Yug-oslav “par ents”—not even their names. He will get this information during orientation in New York. Under provisions of the program -—called “Experiment in Interna tional Living”—Walker will live as another member of the family. He will work when the family works and eat and sleep at the scheduled time. While the 6-7 Texan is in Yugo slavia, another Aggie will be living under similar conditions in nearby Poland. He is Wallace A. Deen of Alexandria, La., a pre-veterinary medicine student. THE OTHER two will be living Statistics Institute Adds Fourth Prof Dr. R. J. Freund, associate di rector of the A&M Graduate In stitute of Statistics, announced early this w*eek the appointment of Dr. R. R. Hocking as associate pro fessor effective Sept. 1. Hocking teaches at Michigan College of Mining and Technology and serves as assistant to the com puter laboratory director.

EXPANDING RESEARCH ac tivities in Texas intensify the need for trained statisticians. Universi ties, industry and federal agencies such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration employ statisticians, which are in short supply. Scheduled to assume the direc torship of the Institute effective July 1 is Dr. H. O. Hartley, an in- ternationally-k n o w n statistician. He came to this country fi*om Great Britain 10 years ago and has been an Iowa State University professor. Hocking completed his doctoral studies in mathematics and statis tics at Iowa State in 1962. He completed undergraduate studies in electrical engineering at Michigan Tech and in 1957 re ceived a. Master of Science degree in mathematics from the Univer sity of Michigan. HOCKING WAS with Boeing Aircraft in 1957-58. He was con cerned primarily with analog and digital computer simulation of electronic aircraft control systems and missile reentry problems. Hocking lists membership in Tau Beta Pi and Eta Kappa Nu, | honorary engineering fraternities, j He received an Iowa State Univer- | sity Alumni Fellowship in 1960 j and won the G.E. Snedecor Award in 1962. He and Dr. Hartley are coau thors of an article appearing in the June issue of “Management Science.” The article is entitled “Convex Programming by Tan gential Approximation.” Hocking is the fourth faculty member named to the Institute of Statistics. Summer Africa in Africa, under the Operation Crossroads African project, another private non-profit organization. They are James Ray of Conroe, an English major who will go to Uganda in British East Africa, and Paul Bleau of Lynn, Mass., a sopho more animal science major headed for Northern Rhodesia. Bleau and Ray will have slightly different living conditions than Wallace and Deen. They will be working at the person-to-person level, but not necessarily living with a family. They are assured that their jobs will involve physical labor. WALKER AND DEEN will be placed with families who have sons about their own ages. During the first part of their stay, they will be guests of these families. Much of the planning was done by the A&M’s Travel Club, Con gressman Olin E. Teague of Col lege Station, and others. Three of the world travelers were given partial scholarships by the private organizations. Student costs range from $850 to $950 with out grant, and the organizations chip in an equal amount. “Unfortunately,” one of the Aggies remarked with a sly grin, “all of us will be required to stop over in Paris for a while.” New Program To Be Offered In Electronics The A&M Engineering* Extension Service is establishing an Institute of Electronic offering a two-year course to train electronics technicians, H. D. Bearden, Extension Service director, has announced. The program is designed to develop technicians for the many phases of the rapidly expanding electronics industry. Bearden said the school will provide training which will qualify persons for immediate employment after pro gram completion. L. K. Jonas, co-ordinator of the new program, said lack of all types of technicians, especially electronics technicians, is seriously affecting industry and en gineering. He said the two-year pre paratory course will be con ducted at the A&M Research and Development Annex, for merly Bryan Air Force Base and acquired from the federal govern ment last year. Jonas said the institute is de signed to give high school gradu ates a firm foundation in electronic theory, including instruction in the type of related science and mathe matics that an electronics tech nician must know. THE PROGRAM will provide training “in skills required by automation and improved tech nology today—the technical know how beyond routine operations and repair work,” he said. The schedule includes four terms, each six months long, with short vacations. Classes will start in September and March of each year. “When the survey was com pleted, the Engineering Extension Service didn’t have facilities for establishing a technician school,” he said. “However, with acquisition of the dormitories, classrooms and laboratories at the Research and Development Annex, we are ready to take applications from persons wishing to enroll in the first class in September.” Bryan Couple Dies In Arkansas Crash LESLIE, Ark. (7P>—A pickup truck driven by Pete Sherlock, 58, of Bryan, Tex., broke loose from a house trailer and plunged down a 75-foot embankment Wednesday night, killing the driver and his wife. Sheriff Beal Sutterfield said the 32-foot trailer overturned in the highway. The brakes over heated on the descent of a moun tain road and failed, he said. The Sherlocks were reportedly on their way to visit Mrs. Sher lock’s daughter, Mrs. Buck House, in Arlington, Tenn. NSF Offers Two Programs For Faculty Two fellowship programs of special interest to A&M faculty members have been announced by the National Science Foundation, Dean of the Graduate School Wayne C. Hall said Tuesday. The Science Faculty Fellowships Program involves approximately 400 fellowships. The program is aimed at improving college sci ence, mathematics and engineering teaching. Applications must be re ceived not later than Oct. 7. Approximately 100 Senior Post doctoral Fellowships in Science will be available. Individuals planning to increase their competence in their specialized fields of science or desiring to broaden their compe tence in related fields of science are invited to apply. Both programs provide stipends of a salary-matching type. Among the requirements for the Science Faculty Fellowships are that the person hold a bachelor’s degree, be able to demonstrate ability and special aptitude for science teaching and advanced training, have three or more academic years’ full-time experi ence in teaching science, mathe matics or engineering, and an in tention to continue teaching. Applicants for the Senior Post doctoral Fellowships need to have (relative to age), experience and opportunities, recognized status as a scientist, have held a doctoral degree in one of the basic fields of science, mathematics or engi neering for a period of at least five years, and propose to work at the postdoctoral academic level during his fellowship tenure. i South Pacific’ Auditions Will Begin Tonight In MSC Auditions for A&M’s “shirt sleeve opera” presenta tion of “South Pacific” will be held beginning Thursday in the Memorial Student Center, music coordinator Bob Boone, announced. Open auditions for singers, actors and dancers will be held at 7:30 p. m., Thursday, Friday, Monday and Tuesday. The tryouts will be held in the social room of the MSC all nights, except Monday. Then the candidates will meet in rooms 2C and 2D of the MSC. College Station Girl Receives r Grant To Study In Germany A Texas Tech graduating sen ior from College Station, Karolyn Kirby, will receive a Fulbright grant to study in Germany. Miss Kirby, a chemistry major at Tech, will have a full grant Fulbright-Hays act of 1961, are administered by the Institute of International Education as part of the educational exchange program of the Department of State.

She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Kir by of College Station. She plans to leave for Germany in September in time for the be ginning of the fall semester there. She will do graduate work in phy sical chemistry. The grants, available under the ied abroad under the program, which are now covered by the 1961 act. Miss Kirby has maintained a 3.93 grade average out of a possi ble 4.0 throughout her four years of college. In accepting the Ful bright grant, Miss Kirby will be turning down several other awards she has received for graduate study. Students Asked To Retain Room Keys For Fall Exchange The Housing Office has advised students who now hold room keys and who plan to live in dormitones next fall to hold the keys and ex change them for new ones in Sep tember. The new $20 room deposit paid by entering students which carry over to succeeding years as long as they are enrolled in school in cludes a key deposit, explained Housing Manager H. L. Boyer. In a memorandum issued last week the Housing office also re minded students who are now in school and who plan to attend summer school that they must be moved to their new rooms by 6 p.m. Saturday. All dorms except those to be used during the summer sessions will be closed and locked at the Saturday deadline. Students who must change rooms but who wish to leave campus be fore the last day of the semester may make arrangements with the present occupants of their n e w rooms about storage of possessions until they return. Military students are also re minded that they are required to clear with their dormitory Tactical Officer before checking out of their old rooms. Students have been urged to dis card paper and trash as soon as possible.
