Student Insurance
Response Is Light
Assistants Needed
For Physics Labs
The Department of Physics has
announced a need for assistants
in physics laboratories.
Those students who have com
pleted Physics 218, 219 and 220
and who are interested should
contact the department in Room
237, Physics Building as soon
as possible.
Participation in the student accident insurance plan has
been disappointingly slow according to the latest report from
the Fiscal Office.
So far this year only 950 students have taken advantage
"of the low-x-ate policy offered here.
Allan Peterson, chairman of the
Student Senate’s welfare commit
tee said 1,538 Aggies purchased
the insurance last year.
Peterson emphasized the need for
such a student policy by citing
two examples of students who were
not covered by insurance and were
injured last year. Medical ex
penses to these students were tre
mendous, but could have been signi
ficantly reduced had these students
been covered by the student policy.
THE PREMIUM is $8.50 for
12-month coverage, and covers up
to $1,000 for each injury during
the one-year period.
Dr. Charles R. Lyons, director
of the University Hospital, said
Monday that to date 45 persons
had filed claims totaling more
than $6,000. Lyons added that be
cause an injured student has up
to 12 months to file a claim, there
may be more than this.
A students may claim for in
juries received off campus and out
of Brazos County. However, the
claim must be verified and cleared
through the University Hospital,
said Lyons.
IF THE INJURY is received
within the area of Brazos County
the injured person should be
brought to the University Hospital
for treatment.
In a case where the injured per
son may need ti'eatment beyond
the capabilities of the University
Hospital he will be referred or sent
to a University Hospital recom
mended facility. The insurance will
cover this additional expense up to
the stipulated $1,000.
A&M acts only as distributor
for the Student Accident Insurance
Plan offered by National Home
Life Insurance Co. of St. Louis,
Mo. The firm serves as under
writer for Higham, Neilson, Whit-
ridge and Reid Inc. of Chicago.
THE POLICY WILL cover a
student in case of injury regard
less of whatever other personal
policies he has.
Students may sign up for the
insurance plan in the payroll and
insurance department in the base
ment of the Richard Coke Build
ing.
Knebel To Aid
j In Conference
On Rural Youth
Dr. Earl Knebel, head of the
Department of Agricultural Educa
tion, will participate in the Na-
■ tional Conference on Problems of
1 Rural Youth in a Changing Envir-
K onment Sunday throug-h Wednes-
k day at Oklahoma State University.
The meeting, sponsored by the
S National Committee for Chilch'en
and Youth, is a follow-up of the
1960 White House Conference on
Children and Youth.
Knebel said the session will be
organized as a working group of
350 national, state and local pro
fessional and lay leaders in fields
related to rural youth. Each con
ference delegate will participate
in a special work group of 25 per
sons.
The professor is assigned to the
group, “New Dimensions of Voca
tional Education for Rural Youth,”
“Purpose of the conference,”
| Knebel said, “is to develop recom-
^ mendations for improvement of
K existing programs and develop-
■ ment of new programs and ap-
P proaches to help connect the under
development, underutilization and
waste of human resources which
have deprived the nation of talents
and abilities of thousands of rural
youth.”

SENATE STUDIES SWEETHEART SELECTION
Method revised for this year.
CENTURY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION
Student Aid,
Offices Now
Employment
Consolidated
A&M students may now visit
the Development and Placement
Office in the YMCA Building to
learn all details of employment,
loan funds, scholarships and other
forms of student aid.
This is the most noticable aspect
of several changes to consolidate
student aid activities on the cam
pus. The realignment of functions
will permit the Development Of
fice to concentrate its efforts on
seeking funds for the university’s
program of excellence.
“This realignment is in keeping
with recommendations contained in
the report of the Century Coun
cil and the guidance of the Board
of Directors in the Blueprint for
Progress,” Dorsey McCrory, the
development officer, said.
Bugle Rank Humps It
The band bugle rank demonstrates now its done at the
season’s first yell practice last night in Kyle Field. Yell
leaders prepared the 12th Man for A&M’s tilt with LSU
Saturday night in Baton Rouge.
Cattle Raisers
Told To Keep
High Quality
Dr. Robert Branson, of the De
partment of Agricultural Econom
ics and Sociology, Friday urged di
rectors of the Texas and South
western Cattle Raisers Association
today to standardize their product
at a high quality and low waste
level, or someone else would at
their expense.
Branson was one of many A&M
speakers at the first day of the
TSCRA director’s two-day meet
ing. Speaker topics covered range
management, economics, beef pro
duction and disease control.
BRANSON SAID that as food
costs have risen because of higher
production and marketing expens
es, the housewife has become more
ci’itical of the beef she buys if it
fails to meet her needs.
“Economics tells us in this situ
ation that if the producers cannot
provide the uniform, high quality
product desired, other foods will be
bought instead, or a middle-man
enters who will do the standardiza
tion job at a cost that lowers final
returns to beef producers,” he said.
The economist pointed out that
beef in a perenial favorite with
American families, but it does not
mean that they will “buy beef
at any price under any conditions.”
“CHAIN FOOD store meat buy
ers and merchandizers whom we
have interviewed have repeatedly
told us that beef must be lean, ten
der, flavorable, and have the pro
per color appearance and a mini
mum of wastes,” Branson em
phasized. “It must be of a highly
consistent quality.”
Other speakers were Ed Uvacek,
Agricultural Extension Service
livestock marketing - specialist; John
Riggs, professor of animal husban
dry; and Dr. Don Huss, assistant
professor of range management.
“THE DEVELOPMENT Office
now can devote all of its attention
to planning and carrying forward
expanded fund-raising programs to
benefit A&M in the years to cpme,”
McCrory said.
He emphasized the office will
continue to work “hand in glove”
with the Association of Former
Students. This maintains the pat
tern set by E. E. McQuillen, who
retired recently as Development
Fund executive.
Robert M. Logan has been as
signed the responsibility of admin
istering the various forms of stu
dent aid and has his office in the
Placement Office.
STUDENT ASSISTANCE forxn-
erly involved several offices on the
campus, a fact noted by the Cen
tury Council.
The Association of Former Stu
dents annually loaned approximate
ly $150,000 in 1,500 separate loans.
These funds now will be admin
istered through the student aid pro
g-ram headed by Logan.
“With the creation of this new
office, we believe there will be an
improved service to the students
as well as parents, and at the same
time the changes make for a more
efficient system for the univer
sity,” J. B. Hervey of the Associ
ation of Former Students said.
LOGAN EXPRESSED confid-
Horse Race Betting
Nears Approval
Press Club Told
The referendum vote last fall
on whether to legalized pari-mutuel
betting in Texas was so close it
indicated that it is inevitable that
racing will develop in the state,
Bob Gray, president of the Texas
Racing Association, told member
of the Brazos Valley Press Club
Thursday night.
Gray, also editor of The Texas
Horseman Magazine, said racing -
is the largest outdoor sport in the
United States and would be “a real
shot in the arm to Texas as far
as revenue is concerned.” Twenty-
six states with racing received
$289 Million in tax income from
racing last year, he said.
While racing in the state would
be a big drawing card for tourists,
it would also help the agricultural
industry in the state, Gray said.
“We have a potential for a breed
ing industry on the par with Ken
tucky,” he said “And just think
of the feed that would be needed
for those horses.”
Gray said the TRA, which was
organized at the King Ranch in
January of this year, is working
to carry its case to the 1965 State
Legislature when it convenses.
“We have been encouraged by our
six months of work,” he said.
ence the realignment will lead “to
serving more people more effici
ently and more effectively.”
He stressed that certain facets
of the program still to be complet
ed will relieve various offices of
aspects of student assistance pro
grams.
The student aid program involves
National Defense Education Act
loans, the Opportunity Awards and
Scholarships program, graduate
fellowships provided by private
grants, various loan funds includ
ing those of the Association of
Former Students, as well as on
campus jobs for students.
Information about the National
Defense Education Act loans avail
able for the spring semester should
be ready about Dec. 1, Logan said.
NSF Director
Calls Attention
To Deadlines
University faculty and students
interested in National Science
Foundation Fellowship programs
for 1964 should remember applica
tion deadlines this fall or early
winter, C. M. Loyd, campus co
ordinator of NSF programs, said
Thursday.
Oct. 7 is the dealine for the sen
ior postdoctoral and science fa
culty programs.
THESE APPLICANTS must
have a doctoral degree and five
years or more experience. Science
faculty fellowships will be award
ed to selected faculty members with
three years experience in teaching
science, Vnathematics or engineer
ing at the collegiate level. Both
programs provide funds to match
salaries.
A Nov. 1 deadline is set for the
cooperative graduate program open
to students who must be admitted
to graduate status prior to begin
ning tenure.
Dec. 6 is the deadline to apply
either for the summer graduate
teaching assistants program or the
postdoctoral program.
“The teaching assistants pro
gram for summer studies can be
used for language studies,” Loyd
said.
THE SUMMER PROGRAM is
open to teaching assistants, or
part-time instructors, with one aca
demic year-of service.
The final program is for stu
dents admitted to graduate status
before beginning tenure. It has a
Jan. 3 deadline for application. The
stipend of $1,800 to $2,000 is less
than that for the cooperative grad
uate program.
Application forms and informa
tion may be obtained from Loyd’s
office in Room 105 of the YMCA

Hears Rudder
At Austin Meet
Major General Earl Rudder,
Commanding General of the 90th
Infantry Division, was guest speak
er in Austin Monday at the Sept
ember meeting of the Texas Capi
tal Area Chapter of the Associa
tion of the United States Army.
Rudder’s address was highlighted
by his stand on the necessity and
responsibility of college and univer
sities to produce a whole man, not
just a brilliant mind. 'He went on
to point out that the greatest single
tool which colleges and univer
sities had to work is the Reserve
Officers Training Program.
In closing - , Rudder stated that
ROTC has traditionally furnished
the United States Army with a large
percentage of its junior officers,
and for this country of ours to
continue to be a strong bulwark
among the free nations of the
world, our schools must continue
to instill in the youth of the nation
that old fashioned gumption, or
whatever you may wish to call it,
that our forefathers had.
