human services.
Ekola was the first of several
keynote speakers to appear oh the
program, which ends at noon Fri
day.
The minister urged that pastors
and their congregations realize
that the agricultural revolution is
more important than space con
quest. They should try to look at
agriculture from the farmer’s
standpoint for a change instead of
the consumer’s.

DAIRYMAN MAKES APPEAL
University Urged Wednesday
To Train Farm Directors
A&M University was urged
Wednesday to develop a short
course to help train boards of di
rectors which have been elected to
farm co-operatives.
The appeal came from R. G.
Lytle, general manager of United
Dairymen of Arizona and the main
speaker at the 33rd annual South
Texas Producers Association meet
ing.
The estimated 300 dairymen at
tending the meeting heard Lytle
describe boards of directors as
major “decision centers.”
But too often, newly elected
board members know little about
detailed functions or administra
tive procedures of co-operatives, he
said. They need to be schooled in
decision-making, co-op structure
and organizations limitations.

Possibility Of Space Flight
Discussed By NASA Engineer
By GLENN KIEL
Special Writer
A manned space flight to Mars
may be possible within the next
10 years; however, the next 20
years would be a conservative an
swer, said Zack H. Byrns, ad
vanced projects engineer from the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration.
Byrns spoke to approximately
40 faculty and students on “Man’s
Flight to Mars” at a meeting of
the student chapter of the Ameri
can Institute of Aeronautics and
Astronautics Tuesday night.
A TYPICAL round trip space
flight to Mars would take any
where from 400 to 450 days in a
spacecraft weighing from one mil
lion to four and one half million
pounds, said Byrns. Byrns added
one reason for such heavy space
craft is that the launching pad for
the return trip to earth will have
to be taken to Mars.
Since it is impossible to send
such heavy craft from earth at the
present time, the spacecraft will be
assembled in the earth’s orbit.
Byrns described Mars surface
as desert, dusty and smooth ex
cept for polar ice caps. Byrns stat
ed that there may be vegetation on
the surface of Mars because of
color variations during the year.
The number of personnel sent on
a space flight to Mars will depend
on the design and size of space
craft, said Byrns.
THE TRIP TO MARS would
take 120 days, 40 days would be
spent on the surface of Mars gath
ering data and 260 days would be
involved to return to earth, said
Byrns.
When asked if women will par
ticipate in the space flight, Byrns
said, “A political question.”
Byrns discussed comparisons of
physical data of earth and Mars,
landing on Mars, earth entries, ve
hicle shapes, orbitals, velocity re
quirements, space radiation, me
teorites and other factors pertain
ing to the space flight.
The lecture by Byrns ended in
a question and answer session.
Byrns received his B.S. degree
in mechanical engineering from
A&M in 1955. He joined NASA in
1962.
ADS To Conduct
Marketing Survey
The A&M University Chapter of
Alpha Delta Sigma, national ad
vertising fraternity, and the Of
fice of Student Publications are
conducting a marketing survey that
will show how much is spent by
A&M students during the school
year.
The purpose of the survey is to
show the merchants of the Bryan-
College Station area the size of
the market represented by the stu
dents at A&M.
Surveys forms have been passed
out to one-third of the students
living on university-owned proper
ty, and student cooperation will be
appreciated, said Ted Jablonski,
president of ADS.
the University of Oregon.
The speaker also claimed that
the “muscles” of a co-op are com
posed of money and people.
He added the organization’s fi
nancial potence stems from ade
quate reserves for opportunity,
adequate operating capital for ef
fective programming and adequate
dues fbr programming. Personnel
potence comes from hiring the
right man for the job, paying him
adequately and making sure his
managerial prerogatives are clear
ly understood.
The South Texas Producers As
sociation, with headquarters in
Houston, is one of the most suc
cessful co-ops of its type in the
nation. It has about 1,500 dairy
men members operating in a 57-
county area known as the Houston
Milkshed.
STPA’S PURPOSE is to pro

Tessies Welcome
Cadets To Campus
By MIKE REYNOLDS and WADE DuBOSE
Battalion Special Writers
A Southwest Conference Football Game with Texas
Christian University, the first Corps Trip of the year, the
presentation of the Aggie Sweetheart, and a yell practice
and bonfire with the Tessies of Texas Woman’s University
are just a few of the highlights that pack the coming week
end. v
A warm Tessie welcome to the Fort Worth-Denton area
for the' Aggies on the Corps Trip Friday night signals the
beginning of the three days’ festivities, announced Harlan
Roberts, president of the A&M student body.
The A&M students will be welcomed to the TWU campus
with a reception to be held in the Student Union Building
at 8 p.m. A dance will follow from 9:30 p.m. until 12:30 a.m.
Immediately afterward, Lowry Woods will be the scene of
a yell practice and bonfire at which the Aggies will teach
the War Hymn, Spirit and yells to their dates. The Aggie
Sweetheart, the contest finalists and Mr. Congeniality will
also be introduced at that time.
A holiday has been declared on the TWU campus,
Saturday, and the girls are very anxious to make the Aggies
feel at home, concluded Roberts.
No Silver Taps Wanted
Students are reminded, however, to leave in plenty of
time if they wish to attend these activities. Safe driving
and speed limits should be observed, for strict enforcement
of traffic on the almost construction-free route to Fort
Worth will be maintained by the Department of Public
Safety.
Texas Highway Patrolman, Sergeant Paul Allen, high
way supervisor for the Bryan area, said that because most
of the student body will be on the road to Fort Worth, the
highway patrol 'will maintain strict enforcement of road laws
and that all available mobile radar units on the route will
be in action.
Two miles of construction at Hillsboro and two miles
of construction at Waco are the only notable detour areas
on the straight route to Fort Worth via Highway 6 and
Interstate 35, said Milton Pack, permit clerk of the local
State Highway Department office.
The department is pleased that no Aggies have been
seriously hurt or killed in the Bryan area this year and the
department will do all in its power to maintain this record,
added Allen.
Corps Parades Saturday
The Corps of Cadets will assemble on East Weatherford
Street between Jones and Elm Streets at 9:30 a.m. Saturday
for their parade through downtown Fort Worth. The Corps
will march west on Weatherford to Houston Street, south
on Houston to 10th Street, one block east on 10th to Main.
They will then proceed north on Main to 1st Street, then
east on 1st to the 500 block where the units will be dismissed.
The reviewing stand will be in front of the Hotel Texas
at 8th and Main Streets. The Corps will march in the fol
lowing order: Corps Staff, the Combined Bands, 2nd
Brigade, 3rd Brigade,' 1st Brigade, 2nd Wing, and 1st Wing.
Aggies Meet Sweetheart
The half-time ceremonies at Amon Carter Field, adjacent
to the TCU campus, are to be highlighted by the presentation
to the student body of Miss Nanette Gabriel, the Aggie
Sweetheart chosen on the A&M campus during the past week
end. As the Aggie Band forms her name, Richard Moore,
president of the Civilian Student Council will present her
with a bouquet and Paul Dresser, Corps Commander, will
kiss her.
Students should be in the stands by 1:30 Saturday after
noon in anticipation of the pre-game warmup and the kick
off against the Horned Frogs of TCU at 2 p.m.
Kingston Trio Due Monday
For Town Hall Appearance
The Kingston Trio, appearing at
G. Rollie White Coliseum Monday
at 8 p.m., has had six “gold
records” since they started singing
together in 1961.
The trio consists of Nick Reyn
olds, Bob Shane, and John Steward,
who took Dave Guard’s place in
1961 when Guard decided to solo.
Reynolds was graduated from
Menlo College, Menlo, California,
in 1957 with a degree in business
administration. It was at Menlo
that he met Shane.
SHANE WAS BORN in Hilo,
Hawaii, where he sank to his own
accompaniment in his leisure time
and occasionally played at parties.
After graduating from Menlo
College, Shane returned to Hawaii
to work for Sears-Roebuck. His
reputation as a perormer spread,
however, and he returned to the
mainland where he joined Reynolds
in the group that became the
Kingston Trio.
ALTHOUGH JOHN STEWARD
has been singing with the Kingston
Trio only two years, he has been
connected with them since 1958
when he was singing on the same
program as a group of less familiar
folk singers. Stewart was un
satisfied with the rock ’n’ roll sing
ing he had been doing. The Trio
recognized his talent and were so
inqpressed that they encouraged his
interest in folk singing.
Steward has taken a high inter
est in what he considers a lack of
awareness in American youth. He
is at the head of an organization
known as the “Quiet Fight” which
is designed to awaken a feeling of
national pride through folk songs.
Tickets to the local show are
$2.50 for non-students and $1.50
for students.
CS United Chest Extended
In Effort To Meet Goal
_ nt
COLLEGE STATION — College
Station’s United Chest drive has
been extended through Friday and
campaign tempo intensified to
raise $18,000 for 15 community
agencies.
Drive chairman Chris H. Grone-
man said that about $13,000 of the
goal had been collected Wednes
day. The extra day of solicita
tion was added to put the drive
“over the top”, Groneman said.
“We cannot fail to support these
15 deserving agencies,” Groneman
challenged. “We have always met
their needs and must do it again
this year.”
Campaign workers were urged
to follow up contacts who had not
contributed and suggest they give
post-dated checks.
Groneman asked that collections
be given to drive treasurer Pieter
Groot by 2 p.m. Friday for tabula
tion at a board meeting that after
noon.
