represent Texas in the national
finals later this year. Some earned
trips to the National 4-H Club
Congress in Chicago, others re
ceived scholarships, medals or
watches.
Director John E. Hutchison of
the Texas Agricultural Extension
Service told the outstanding 4-H
members that “education is a life
time process.” He pointed out that
their achievements as state winners
are rungs in their ladders of per
sonal development.
WINNING TEAMS represented
the “cream of the crop” of Texas
1-H Club members, since all con
testants first won top awards in
their respective counties or dis
tricts prior to coming to the state
finals at A&M. Roundup theme
this year was “4-H: Young Citi
zens in Action.”
The young people represented
all portions of the state. Among
counties having the gratest number
of first, second and third place
awards were Comanche, Hidalgo,
Coleman, Ellis, Lubbock, Taylor,
Wheeler, Anderson and Panola.
Brazos County 4-H members
topped a second and two third
place awards. Karen Kindt of
Route 2, Bryan, placed second in
the foods and nutrition educational
activity. Her coach was Miss
Emily Ritter, county home demon
stration agent.
The Brazos County dairy judging
team finished third. Members
*ere David Harvell, Joey Skri-
■anek, Sammy Novosad and Dicky
Batten, all of Bryan. The team
scored 1,412 points. County Agri
cultural Agent Tom Sistrunk was
toach.
THIRD PLACE honors also went
to the Brazos County poultry judg-
'ti£ team, composed of Mike
Warns, who was high point indi-
Hdual; and Gary Vance, Jack
fisher and Sammy Catalina, all of
Bryan. County Agent Sistrunk
*as coach for the team which
scored 1,891 out of a possible 2,100
Points.
The A&M Chapter of the Ameri
can Association of University Pro
fessors (AAUP) announced the
election of three new officers for
1963-64 late last week.
Dr. Edwin B. Doran Jr., associate
professor of geography was named
president.
Dr. William J. Clark, assistant
professor of biology was elected
vice-president. The new secretary-
treasurer is Dr. Sewell H. Hop
kins, professor of biology.
The AAUP is the only organi
zation that represents all Ameri
can college teachers and research
ers, Hopkins pointed out. With a
membership of more than 50,000,
the Association is devoted to rais
ing the professional standards and
economic status of faculty mem
bers.
Hopkins said the A&M Chapter
has 100 members.
Doran came to A&M in 1960. He
completed undergraduate work and
received a Masters degree at LSU.
He received his Ph.D at the Uni
versity of California in 1953.
Clark joined the A&M faculty
in 1957. Hopkins first came here
in 1935.

By late Wednesday almost 3,100 students had registered

The taxpayer’s view of govern

“The three summer cruises of
12 weeks each are an integral part
of the curriculum and are made for
the purpose of allowing cadets to
study port facilities and foi’eign
commerce ,as well as to gain prac
tical experience in ship opera
tions,” Dodson said.
Next year the TMA cadets will
make a cruise to a different part
of the world.
Ports of call for the 1963 cruise
include Dublin, Hamburg, Antwerp,
Naples and Palma in the Balearic
Islands of the Mediterranean Sea.
THE EMPIRE State IV will be
shin tested and sailed up the
Hudson to Albany before the At
lantic crossing.
The maritime cadets will stand
watch and meet other responsibili
ties during the cruise.
The TMA cadets began classes
on the A&M campus last' Septem
ber. In a few months, the second
class will report to begin the four-
year program of study and cruises
which leads to a Bachelor of Sci
ence degree, a U. S. Naval Reserve
commission and opportunities in
the world of the sea and shore-
based facilities.
STUDENTS MAKING the cruise
this summer will resume studies in
September. They will use newly-
i-enovated facilities in a building at
old Fort Crockett in Galveston.
According to Dr. Paul R. Hen-
sarling, head of the Department
of Education and Psychology, four-
principal speakers will be heard
during the meeting:
Texas Attorney General Wag
goner Carr, who will speak on “The
Role of the Public Schools in
Teaching Americanism” at the
final general assembly;
NATT B. BURBANK, president
of the American Association of
School Administrators and superin

The Rev. A. T. Dyal, pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church of
Bay City, who will give the de-
votionals at all general assemblies.
HENSARLING said the theme
of the’ meeting is “Strengthening
Education Through Leadership.”
The program will consist of three
main phases:
1. The general assemblies which
are designed to give inspiration.
2. Group discussions to be held
after general assemblies and as
sociation meetings on Monday and
Tuesday.
3. The organization meetings at
which the business of the i-espective
associations will be carried out.
The group discussions, according
to Hensarling, will be the most
important part of the meeting. He
explained that these will give op
portunity for recognized authori
ties in the field of education to ex
change information and advice on
specific problems.
ALSO LISTED by Hensarling as
special features of the program
are:
A golf tournament to be held
Sunday on the A&M course; a

that he saw no reason why
this year’s count of coeds
would not be approximately
the same as last year.
Women have attended A&M
in the summer for many years.
Under a recent ruling by the Board
of Directors, a limited number may
enroll in long terms.
The graduate school and the
School of Veterinary Medicine have
been opened to any qualified
women applicants. The wives of
students and the wives and daugh
ters of faculty and staff members
will be admitted to undergraduate
school under the new ruling.
Heaton said that at this time
last year 2,478 students had en
rolled for the first summer term.
The Wednesday count was 3,071.
In 1949 A&M had 3,089 students
attending the first summer sesion.
A final, official count of enrol-
lees for this term cannot be made
until registration is completed
Thui-sday, Heaton stressed. He ad
ded that cards for the students will
have to be coded and fed through
machines early Friday.

Three Negroes
Enroll Quietly
For 1st Term
A&M took its first i-acial inte

three Negro men were quietly reg
istered for the first session of sum
mer school.
The move, which was in keeping
with a Board of Directors policy
established last year to “admit
qualified students regardless of
race.” Negroes were admitted to
the A&M System at Arlington
State College last fall under the
same ruling.
The three men who enrolled here
Monday were the first Negroes to
apply for admittance to A&M since
the Board decision.
Two of the men hold Masters
degrees from Prairie View A&M

through both summer terms, the
two men say they will study here
only during the first session.
The third man, LeRoy Stei’ling,
is an undergraduate. He is a resi
dent of Bryan and plans at present
to attend only during the first
