Sound Off—-
Editor,
The Battalion:
I recently picked up a Battalion
and had the misfortune to read
a letter in Sound Off written by
Mrs. Gertrude Adam.
I find it hard to believe that
one can be at A&M for nine years
and still not know something
about the accomplishments of the
Corps of Cadets.
I do not always agree with the
leaders of the Corps of Cadets,
or with the decisions made by the
Department of Military Science,
but I do respect the Corps for
what it stands for—for what it
has done—and for what it is
doing now.
For those who believe A&M is
not a military university and that
the Corps is useless, I ask you to
consider the following.
A&M enrolls the largest Corps
of Cadets of any military college
or university in the United
States, and is the nation’s largest
single source of trained officer
reserves for the Army and Air
Force.
The Corps supplied more of
ficers in WW II than any other
institution, including West Point
and Annapolis.
Six former students of A&M
have won the nation’s highest
military honor, the Congressional
Medal of Honor.
Over 30 former students of the
college have reached the rank of
general.
In May, 1917, a month before
graduation, the senior class of
A&M volunteered in a body to
fight “a war to end wars.”
In 1946 General Eisenhower de
clared: “I feel onjy a lasting
admiration for the Texas A&M
Corps of Cadets. This admiration
extends to the individual as well
as to the institution that produced
them.”
There are endless accomplish
ments that could be told of the
Corps. But the Corps does not
live only on its past. Even today
it is making a record to be proud
of. This summer at the U. S.
Army summer camp at Fort Sill,
Okla., 2,000 cadets from many
schools, including 200 from A&M,
received six weeks of training.
At the end of the camp, over two-
thirds of the Aggies were rated
in the top one- third of the camp.
Ten out of 20 of the cadets rated
first in their companies were Ag
gies. Also the number one cadet
at camp was an Aggie.
In closing I would like to quote
a man that I am sure even Mrs.
Adam has heard of, General
Douglas MacArthur: “Texas
A&M is writing its own military
history in the blood of its grad
uates. No name stands out more
brilliantly than the heroic de
fenders of Corregidor, General
George F. Moore. Whenever I
see a Texas man in my command,
I have a feeling of confidence.
Gene Payne ’64
Editor,
The Battalion:
Attention Board of Directors of
Texas A&M:
Gentlemen, I have a plan that
I feel will end all of this bitter
ness between some of the Aggie-
exes and the Board.
Under the present plan con
cerning coeds at A&M, it appears
to me that A&M will lose a great
deal of support, the wives on
campus have refused to attend
as students, and in general, the
situation is one heck of a mess.
Some of the wives on campus
have told me that they will not
attend A&M as students of A&M,
but they will attend if they are
officially members of “Mary
Smith College.”
So, this is my plan. If A&M
must have coeds, why not make
them students of “Mary Smith
College” and please everyone
concerned. The Board should be
satisfied, the women should be
pleased, and the exes will be
pleased as long as the newspapers
carry headlines stating that A&M
will still be an all-male college.
And the expense for the paper
work to make the women students
of “Mary Smith College” will
more than be paid by the losses
that A&M will suffer if the
present plans are carried through.
What do you think of the idea?
I am personally against women
at A&M at all, but this will be
better than your present plan.

Fred R. Brison, professor of
horticulture, has received the Dis
tinguished Technical Contribution
Award from the Texas Pecan Grow
ers Association.
The inscription on the award pla

ed pecan authority who has been a
stabilizing influence on the Texas
pecan industry. He also was recog
nized for his propagation, storage
and harvesting research, and for
his teaching.
Brison is past president and past
secretary-treasurer of the Texas
Pecan Growers Association and
past president of the Federated
Pecan Growers Association of the
U. S. He was winner of the L.M.
Ware Distinguished Teaching A-
ward in 1962 and the Gold Pecan
Award in 1958 which was presented

istrators.

Presidio Was Hoi

It was hot at Presidio even
during the Ice Ages, an A&M bio
logy professor says.
Dr. Lawrence S. Dillon’s inter
est in temperatures during the
Ice Ages stems from basic ques
tions raised during other research.
One of his special fields of inter
est is zoogeography, the study of
the distribution of plants and
animals.
The results of his latest study
were presented Tuesday to the
Ecological Society of America in
a technical paper intitled “Clinal
Changes in World Temperature
Patterns.” The Society is meet
ing as part of the annual meeting
of the American Institute of Bio
logical Sciences now underway on
the University of Massachusetts
campus.
“THIS PAPER is a continuation
of an earlier paper,” Dillon said
before leaving the campus. The
earlier paper was published in
“Science,” a publication of the
American Association for the Ad
vancement of Science.
