Fallen Jet Engine
Found In Pasture
HOUSTON </P) — The two-
ton engine that fell Saturday
from an Eastern Airlines pass
enger jet was found Monday in a
pasture 40 miles southwest of here.
Federal Aviation Agency invest
igators said they found the engine
buried in a field between Damon
and Newgutf, near the Wharton-
Fort Bend County line.
The search centered there after
Clarence Rose, 41, a farmer who
lives outside Damon, said he saw
die engine fall from the plane.
THE DATE for the review of
recognition was tenitively set for
Nov. 25 after Eubank talked to
James P. Hannigan, Dean of Stu
dents.
Hannigan denied responsibility
for the failure of the two clubs
to obtain recognition and was in
strumental in obtaining the re
view for the clubs.
THE TWO CLUBS had been de
nied official recognition by the
Executive Committee in a letter
that stated that the committee
believed that off campus organiza
tions provided enough room for
political experimentation by stu
dents and the University regula
tions stated that A&M property
should not be the scene of any
partisan politics.
The club’s guest speaker was
George Bush, republican candidate
for Ralph Yarborough’s senate
seat.
Bush spoke on the failure of
Democrats to fill the Jeffersonian
image that they cast themselves
in.
“I am sure that they (The Uni
versity Executive Committee) have
good reasons for their actions, but
I hate to tsee Universities afraid
of free thought. I hope you win
your fight,” concluded Bush.

Ripon Beats A&M
In Last 40 Seconds
Huntsville Rodeo
Termed Success
HOUTON (A>> _ The prison
rodeo at Huntsville last month
was the most successful in
years, the State Board of Cor
rections said Monday.
“We cleared close to $30,000
more than we have in the last
three or four years,” H. H. Cof-
field of Rockdale, chairman of the
board, said.
Figures furnished by Dr. George
Beto, director of the prison system,
showed profits from the show rose
from $72,271 in 1962 to $117,651
this year.
The money goes into a health,
education and recreation fund for
the system’s 12,000 prisoners.

After nearly six hours of un
expected, nerve-racking practice
sessions and dress rehearsals, the
A&M “College Bowl” team Sun
day was defeated 155-150 by Ripon
College in the last 20 seconds of
their match on NBC’s “General
Electric College Bowl.”
According to Dr. Harry P.
Kroitor, associate professor of
English and coach of the Aggies,
the A&M team, composed of Cal
vin C. Simper, Lawrence Kelmin-
son, John A. Schmidt and Bobby L.
Limmer, showed an obvious super
iority over the Ripon team in all
of the practice sessions and dress
rehearsals.
In one of the dress rehearsals,
said Kroitor, the A&M team won
by more than 400 points. ,
“The people in the studio and
the audience were amazed and
gasping at the Texans’ brillance,”
said Kroitor.
“There is absolutely no doubt
in my mind that our boys were
considerably superior to the Ripon
team,” said Kroiter.
After arriving in New York City
by jet from Houston Friday night,
the Aggies “bedded down” at their
hotel, the Savoy Hilton. Saturday
after breakfast, the team took in
some sight-seeing before they met
Kroiter for dinner. After dinner,
Kroitor and the team attended
Edward Albee’s “Who’s Afraid of
Virginia Woolf?” at the Billy Rose
Theater. The play, which was the
winner of the New York Drama
Critics Award as Best Play of the
1962-63 season, was a shocker,
satirizing our inability to face
realities.
The drilling of the two teams be- 1
gan at approximately noon Sunday
and continued almost without in
terruption until showtime. The
live television show was compos
ed of two nine-minute periods in
which the clock never stopped.
The A&M team jumped off to
an early lead and was never top
ped until the final question was
asked. At that time, the Aggies
were leading 150-145. The last
question was worth 10 points and
spelled defeat for the Aggies.
For their appearance on the
show, A&M received a $500 schol
arship for the school.
Numerous telephone calls and
telegrams from all the United
States have been received congrat
ulating the team on their effort,
Kroitor said.

TO BE ELIGIBLE for listing
in Who’s Who, students must be
classified as a senior academically,
have an overall grade point ratio
of 1.5 or better, be active in cam
pus activities and show qualities
of leadership as indicated by posi
tions held in student organizations.
The A&M selections were made
by a nine-man committee consist
ing of faculty and staff members
and students.
Dean W. J. Graff, Dean Frank
Hubert, Col. Denzil Baker and
Bennie A. Zinn represented the
faculty and staff on the group.
STUDENTS AIDING in the
selections were Paul Dresser,
Corps Commander; Harlan Rob
erts, Student Senate President;
Howard Head, MSC Council Presi
dent; Richard Moore, Civilian Stu
dent President, and Jeff Harp,
Civilian Student vice president.
Dean of Students James P. Han
nigan said Monday, ‘I feel we have
a very fine group this year. The
selection committee worked very
hard to select this group. In fact,
this committee stayed up past
1 p.m. one night making the final
selection.”
STUDENTS NAMED to Who’s
Who will be honored in a special
national publication honoring out
standing students from colleges
and universities in all parts of the
United States.
“It is a tremendous job to decide
on just 37 students from as large
a student body as we have,” Han
nigan added.
Of all the qualifications, schol
astic achievement is perhaps the
most stressed.

Monotonous But Necessary Work
Allan Linton, B&U Department, is only one of many em
ployees working towards completion of the name changing
job on over 350 University vehicles. The process, in
volving the tying up of needed vehicles, is slow since
old paint has to be removed before application of the new

assure final completion of the task.
