SIX NEGROES INCLUDED
Second Session Enrollment
Past ’62 Total By Tuesday
Second summer session enroll
ment showed an 18 per cent in
crease over last year, Registrar
H. L Heaton announced Tuesday.
Through Tuesday afternoon reg
istration totaled 2,856 or 387 over
the 2,470 enrollment after regis
tration for the session ended in
1962. The total last year after
two days of registration was 2,405.
Six Negroes including two coeds
will attend A&M during the ses
sion. Four are from Bryan and
two from College Station.
A&M was quietly integrated dur
ing the first summer session with
three Negroes attending the six-
week term. The men, who came
as special students, were the first
of their race to apply for admission
since the Board of Director resolv
ed to end segregation throughout
Increased Funds
OK’d For Faculty
A&M’s operating budget for next
year will total $24,186,000 which
includes an increase of 19 per cent
in funds for teachers' salaries.
Approved by A&M’s Board of Di
rectors Saturday, the 1963-64 bud
get calls for $4,620,000 in salaries,
compared with $3,891,000 in 1962-
63. Additional salaries represent
ed almost all of the increase in the
school’s new budget.
President Earl Rudder said the
additional funds would be used to
add 41 teachers and provide raises
in pay for exceptional faculty mem
bers.
Hauwert Found
Insane; Will
Not Be Tried
Geradus F. Hauwert, the man ac
cused of kidnapping and robbing
A&M Registrar H. L. Heaton June
12, was declared insane by a mix
ed jury in Bryan Wednesday.
Judge John M. Barron, who pre
sided over the pre-trial sanity hear-
said he would sign an order
Wednesday or Thursday commit
ting Hauwert to a state hospital
for the criminally insane.
He added that the Houston man
foay be released from the mental
institution if a jury there finds
him sane at a later date. Hau-
^ert will not be tried for the alleg
ed kidnaping- of Heaton.
The hearing began at 9 a.m.
Tuesday, after being postponed a
*eek. Findings were read shortly
before noon Wednesday in the 85th
Judicial District Court.
The sanity hearing was called
fo determine if Hauwert was sane
June 12 when he allegedly kidnaped
Heaton at gunpoint and forced hirii
k withdraw $250 from College Sta
tion State Bank. The men then
drove out Texas Highway 21 in
Heaton’s car.
The A&M official managed to
escape unharmed at Lincoln, three
hours after he had encountered
Hauwert in a campus parking lot.
Reports said Hauwert, a former
toechanical engineering student
here, sat impassively throughout
the hearing but showed relief when
the decision was read. A psychia
trist testified that the man was
insane at the time of the criminal
t»et,
“Higher salaries for the best
teachers attract good faculty mem
bers and retain those now on our
staff,” the President asserted. “A
good faculty - is the key to aca
demic excellence. By paying com
petitive salaries, we hope to keep
Texas’ brainpower at home.”
A&M’s Blueprint for Progress,
passed by the Board last year to
chart the school’s future until
1976, called for a strengthened
faculty as a major factor to achi
eve excellence.
Total budget approved for the
university and the related serv
ices it operates was $42,277,000, a
13 per cent jump over 1962-63.
The new budget shows $205,000
for operation of the Maritime Aca
demy, the same as for last year;
$7,727,000 for the Texas Agricul
tural Experiment Station, a 7.5
increase; $6,866,000 for the Agri
cultural Extension Service, an in
crease of 1.8 per cent; $424,000 for
the Rodent and Pest Control Serv

ANNUAL 15-DAY DUTY
9412th Squadron
Trains At Airport
Officers and airmen from 12
Central Texas cities steamed into
College Station Sunday morning
to begin two weeks of active duty
tx*aining with the 9412th Air Force
Reserve Recovery Squadron.
The unit, training at Easterwood
Airport, is one of 200 prepared to
man civilian airfields during na
tional emergency. Easterwood is
designated an area for pre-strike
airplane dispersal and may also be
used as an emei’gency recovery
area for technical aircraft return
ing from missions.
THE 60-MAN squadron trains
one weekend each month in addi
tion to this annual 15-day tour.
Members of the reserve unit, all
former servicemen, come from
Huntsville, West, Centerville, Waco,
Cameron, Navasota, Brenham,
Mart, San Antonio, Temple, Belton,
Hearne, Port Worth, Rockdale,
Hempstead, Houston, Caldwell as
well as Bryan-College Station.
During the active duty tour, the
9412th will exercise its emergency
teams trained in fire fighting,
crash rescue, decontamination, air
craft maintenance, medical treat
ment, communications and civil en
gineering. Several practice recov
eries of “crippled” aircraft will be
staged during the training.
Organized in 1961, the 9412th
is commanded by Maj. Ralph E.
Miller, a veteran of 22 yeai’s of ac
tive and reserve service. Major
Miller, farm manager for the De
partment of Agronomy, teraied the
active duty tour “realistic and valu
able training.”
“BY THE END of our tour, we
expect the 9412th to be fully cap
able of performing its mission in
any type of emergency,” the maj
or said. “ We have a full schedule
of individual and team training
which will serve as refresher cours
es for experienced personnel and
initial training for new members
I of the unit.”
The week-long course will pro
vide conference-type instruction re
lating to each participant’s working
area. Follow-up assistance and
evaluation will be given once the
individuals return to their jobs.
Instructor will be Vergil Clark,
supervisory training instructor
with the Engineering Extension
Service.
Enrollment will be limited to 15
persons from such areas as grounds
maintenance, buildings and utili
ties, Memorial Student Center and
dining halls.
The staff supervisors will be
shown examples of economy. They,
in turn, will be asked to submit
suggestions and develop plans for
monetary savings in their respec
tive jobs.
“Many oi’ganizations save enough
each year to justify existence of
the training program,”. Clark said.
“In addition to savings, the pro
gram creates a desire to help save
and gives new approaches to the
job to be done.” The follow-up pro
gram includes long range plans to
develop and upgrade supervision in
all divisions, Clark added.
gates “Reporters today are
more important and their
work is more demanding,”
and that “The day when you
can become a good reporter with
out an education is past.”
While they are at the workshop,
the high school newspapermen will
publish a mimeographed and let
ter-press newspaper, and a 64-page
yearbook, with color photography.
Between speeches and lab ses
sions, the students are lectured in
the fundamentals of newspaper
work, on both advanced and be-
gining levels.
HIGHLIGHT OF the workshop
was last night’s election of Darlene
Harris of Pasadena as “Miss
Workshop”. She was chosen from
moi’e than forty entries.
Friday Robert W. Akers is sched
uled to address the assembly at
their final session, at which time
awards in six categories of news
paper work will be awarded.
More than 30 persons from col
leges, high schools and industry
make up the workshop staff, which
includes four representatives from
Taylor Publishing Company.
The publishing company is sup
plying materials and printing the
yearbook for the workshop.
Of the 338 delegates, 171 are at
tending yearbook instruction ses
sions, while 135 students are being
drilled in the newspaper class and
32 are in photography classes.
HEADING THE newspaper pub
lication staffs are Miss Ernestine
Farr, Arlington, with the “Work-
shopper” and Mrs. Lela Edwards,
Bryan, with the “Sweatshopper.”
Mrs. Betty Stanley of Lubbock
sponsors “Summei'time”, the work
shop annual, and Doyle Keeling
is in charge of photography.
The four out-of-state delegations
were sent with funds from press
clubs and their high schools. Pres
ident Earl Rudder, in welcoming
the journalists, expressed the hope
that next year the workshop would
be extended throughout the nation.
