Ross Volunteers
Mardi Gras Bound
The white-uniformed Ross Vol
unteer Company, honor unit of
A&M University, marches Feb. 11
for the fifteenth consecutive year
as honor guard to King Rex of the
Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
This will be the company’s first
appearance of the academic year,
Commander Charles H. Gregory,
a senior from Houston, said.
Income Tax
In forma tion
Is Available
“Your Federal Income Tax,” the
latest official information on Fed
eral taxes is now available at 40
cents a copy, Clarence E. Carlson,
administrative officer of Internal
Revenue at Bryan, announced to
day. They may be obtained from
the local Internal Revenue office,
or from the Superintendent of
Documents, U. S. Government
Printing Office, Washington, D. C.
20402.
The 144-page booklet covers in
detail the Federal income tax laws
as they apply to individuals. The
language is non-technical and con
tains many examples to illustrate
the application of tax laws to
actual situations.
The material is especially help
ful to taxpayers who have unusual
tax situations, or for those encoun
tering an item of income or de
duction for the first time. Check
lists of taxable and non-taxable
income, and of allowable and non
allowable deductions are included,
along with a detailed index which
helps pinpoint answers to tax
problems.
Also available for the business
man for 40 cents a copy is the
helpful booklet “Tax Guide for
Small Businesses” designed to
simplify for the proprietorship,
corporation and partnership prob
lems involving income, excise and
employment taxes.
These two booklets may be ob
tained from any IRS office or
from the Superintendent of Docu
ments, U. S. Government Printing
Office, Washington, D. C. 20402
The appearance also will be the
first for the Ross Volunteers since
the renaming of the Agricultural
and Mechanical College of Texas
to Texas A&M University.
Company strength of the Ross
Volunteers stood at 132 members
with the formal initiation last fall
of 99 outstanding juniors. They
were chosen because of their
character traits, academic and mil
itary standing. The officers, all
seniors, were elected to the Ross
Volunteers a year earlier. The
Volunteers are the oldest student
organization at A&M.
The honor unit in addition to
its participation in Mardi Gras
represents A&M at such distinc
tive functions as the inauguration
of the governor of Texas. The Ross
Volunteers also serve as honor
guard for distinguished campus
visitors.
The name of former Texas gov
ernor Lawrence Sullivan Ross who
later served as a distinguished
president of A&M in the 1890’s
is honored in the company’s name.
“Soldier, statesman and knight
ly gentleman” summarizes Ross’
life and provides high goals for
the outstanding cadets who are
company members.
Organized in 1887, the unit
originally was named in honor of
Col. T. M. Scott, who was business
manager of the college. Several
name changes were made in the
years before 1902 when the com
pany adopted permanently the
name of Ross Volunteer Company.
The unit’s basic purpose always
remained the same. This is to ex
emplify the spirit and inherent
principles and nature of A&M as
students for service in peace and
in war.
Current members of the unit
reflect Space Age interests. A&M
offers degrees in such subjects as
aerospace and nuclear engineering,
while campus facilities including
the Activation Analysis Laboratory
and the sophisticated Data Proces
sing Center are directly concerned
with the nation’s space efforts.
Old or new, the members of
the Ross Volunteer Company
proudly represent A&M.
Exploring The Use Of TV
A special collection of books has been assembled by Cush
ing Memorial Library for Texas A&M University faculty
members interested in educational television. Examining
some of the material is Dr. Douglas F. Parry. An area
meeting recently explored the varied uses of educational
TV.
Seismic Information Topic
At University Graduate Lecture
Seismic work to gather informa
tion about the vast expanses of
ocean bottom was Professor W.
Maurice Ewing’s topic Monday
night for a A&M University grad
uate lecture.
“To many of us he is the most
famous Texan in science,” Dr.
Charles F. Squire said in intro
ducing Dr. Ewing, who is director
of the Lament Geological Observa
tory of Columbia University. Dr.
Ewing was on the A&M campus
Monday and Tuesday to meet with
faculty and administration and
graduate students.
Dr. Ewing said research tech
nique refinements perfected while
his group and A&M Oceanograph
ers worked together in the Gulf
of Mexico about three years ago
allow a seismic tracing of the
ocean bottom and underlying rocks
while a research vessel steams
along at six to ten miles an hour.
He termed this “a revolutionary
development” comparable to the
use of X-rays for crystal structure
studies.

University Offers
Summer Workshop
A&M University again will offer
summer workshops for teachers,
supervisors and school administra
tors, Dr. Paul R. Hensarling of
the Department of Education and
Psychology has announced.
“The success of the three work
shops held in 1963 showed A&M
can render a real service to Texas
education through these brief, in
tensive workshops,” Dr. Hensar
ling said.
Planning for the 1964 workshops
followed consultation with the 90
participants in the earlier sessions.
Workshops provide opportunities
for intensive study of contemporary
problems in education and aca
demic credit may be earned.
Dr. Neville Bremer of the Ama
rillo schools will serve as visiting
professor and director of the work
shop for Elementary Teachers
planned June 29-July 10, Dr. Hen
sarling said. The two-week, full-
day workshop will carry graduate
credit.
Details of other workshops are
expected shortly.
“At least half of the time for
Dr. Bremer’s workshop will be
spent in the study of the current
topic among elementary teachers,
modern mathematics in those
grades,” Dr. Hensarling said. Other
details of the precise course of
study will be determined by the
participants.
Dr. Bremer is director of ele
mentary education for the Ama
rillo public schools and the author
of several books and other publi
cations on elementary education.
Dr. Byemer has taught as a
classroom teacher and at the col
lege level and also has held ad
ministrative assignments. He has
taught in the Skellytown and Ama
rillo public schools.
