THE 14 MEN unaccounted for
were lost when a life raft cap
sized Tuesday in seas that ranged
up to 40 feet high. 1 other
man aboard the raft managed to
clamber back aboard the Ambas
sador to await rescue.
The Norwegian freighter Fruen
took 9 men from the Ambassador
shortly after dawn and the Coast
Guard cutter Coos bay served the
other 12.
THE COOS BAY, after taking
the last man aboard, released oth
er vessels from the operation.
The cutter remained at the scene
to search for the missing crewmen.
The cutter said the 443-foot Am
bassador, her engines dead and
cargo shifted, was listing at a
50-degree angle to the left. Winds
ranged up to 65 miles an hour.
THE AMBASSADOR, a 7,308-
ton vessel, had been en route from
Philadelphia to England when she
was stricken by the storm Tuesday
about 1,000 miles east of' New
York. Her water-flooded engine
stopped, leaving her helpless be
fore the waves.
The Italian lirjer Vulcania
joined in the rescue effort but
received agreement from the Coast
Guard to leave as sunset because
the rough weather was giving
trouble to 500 passengers.
The first ship on the scene was
the Italian liner Leonardo da Vinci
which tried unsuccessfully to res
cue the crew. Capt. Oscar Ribari,
master of the Da Vinci, said the
weather was the worst in his 31
years as a seaman.

Bank Is Robbed
As Crowd Gawks
HOUSTON (A?)—Houston’s larg
est bank was robbed of $7,000
Wednesday by a man who disap
peared quickly on a street jam
med by thousands watching a stock
show parade.
Armed with a pearl handled
pistol, the man carried seven bun
dles of $20 bills as he disappeared
in part of the parade crowd police
estimated at more than 400,000.
The banking lobby of the First
City National Bank — with de
posits of about $800 million —
was virtually empty when the
young man wearing dark glasses
and a dark trench coat approached
Thomas W. Custer, 24, a teller.
“Give me some money in 10s
and 20s,” the man was quoted as
saying. |
“I thought at first it was a
joke and I laughed, but he pulled a
gun,” Custer said.
“I tried to attract the atten
tion of others but the tellers near
me were talking and most of the
others were watching the parade,”
Custer said. “Nobody paid any
attention to me.”
and they shot a tremendous 75
per cent against the Baylor Bears.
Slated for the opening jump for
the Cadets are the men who car
ried them through their last two
games; Bennie Lenox and Paul
Timmins at the guards, Bill Robi
nette and Bill Gasway at forwards
and John Beasley at center.
COACH GLEN ROSE will proba
bly give the nod to John Talking-
ton, Jim Magness, Warren Vogel,
Jim Jay and Ricky Sugg.
Although the Porkers are noted
for their accurate field goaling,
hitting somewhere in the .600, the
Maroons from Aggieland are not
to be counted far behind. A&M
is currently firing in buckets at
.463.
WITH THE PLAY on their own
ground, Arkansas will be out to
avenge a 72-64 loss to the Aggies
in College Station. The visitors
held an 11-point lead with 10
minutes left before the Cadets
finally put on the pressure to
pull out a win.
Coach Shelby Metcalf, Aggie
cage mentor, figures Arkansas to
be tough.
“THEY HAVE some outstanding
shooters, and they have been all
season,” he said.
The Aggies may used more than

tests will be given Feb. 22 at

The test is designed for stu

projects which begin after gra

American citizens. Married cou

There is no passing score on

employed through most of the
year. Metcalf figures to use the
man-to-man when going gets
rough, like they did against Baylor
and Rice in their last two tilts.
“WE’LL GO INTO the man-to
man when we get in a tight. When
we get ahead we use the multiple
defense. Zone defenses aren’t very
good if you’re behind,” Metcalf
commented.
Speaking on the outcome of the
Baylor contest Tuesday night, the
coach said:
“The results were real good.
Anytime we win they are good.
It was Baylor’s finest game of
the season, too. Of course, since
we’re Aggies and on top, it’s tough
all the time.”
The team leaves Easterwood Air
port at 1 p. m. Friday. Let’s
give them a big sendoff.
Originally, plans had called for
the center of the phone system
to be located in the south wing
of the Academic Building because
this area was found to be the
center of the wire plans for the
campus and because of the need
of a large air-conditioned space
to house the complex phone equip
ment.
A STUDY by phone company
engineers revealed recently that
the center could be located on the
basement of the proposed library
addition for approximately the
same price as in the Academic
Building if the loss of classroom
space necessary to house the equip
ment was taken into account.
Munroe, revealed that a recent
poll of all civilian dorms and the
annex by the Dorm Presidents
Council drew a response of 1357
from 1820 people contacted and
that 1093 of these were in favor
of putting in the phones at a cost
of $2.50 a person a month.
It was also revealed by Munroe
that the plan had been informally
presented to President Earl Rud
der for consideration and that he
had given his approval to the
plan.
“IF WE GET the building com
mittee’s okay on this, we will be
able to begin pursuit of actual
cost negotiations with the selected
company, Southwestern States
Telephone,” continued Munroe.
“Once we have a difinite price
set on this thing I believe that we
will be able to present it to the
Board of Directors as a whole for
their approval by next month’s
meeting,” said Munroe.
“The present timetable calls for
completion of the phone installa
tion on the campus my 1966.

35,000 Openings
For Students Set
There will be approximately a
10 per cent increase in summer
jobs through the United States for
students and teachers in 1964 over
last year, according to Mrs. Myn-
ena Leith, the Editor of the “Sum
mer Employment Directory.”
“The greatest increase is to be
found in summer camps, summer
theatres and resorts in the New
England and North-Central states.
A limited number of jobs are
available at the New York World’s
Fair.
The 1964 “Summer Employment
Directory” lists 35,000 summer jobs
all over the country. It lists along
with the job the name and address
of the employers, the salary, and
a sample letter of application.
Students who wish to obtain a
copy of the directory may ask for
it at college bookstores or order
by mail. The address is National
Directory Service, Box 32065, Dept.
C., Cincinnati, Ohio, 45232. The
special college student price is
$3. Mark “rush” for first-class
mailing.
Such a background, he said, will
improve their level of instruction
in existing courses and encourage
new courses in the field.
“A participant who satisfac
torily completes the institute pro
gram may receive six semester
hours of graduate credit if he has
been admitted to the Graduate Col
lege and is properly registered,”
Randall added.
The institute is under sponsor
ship of the Atomic Energy Com
mission and the National Science
Foundation. Teachers accepted re
ceive a stipend and dependency and
travel allowances.
Randall said the session last for
six weeks, from June 1 to July
10.
“The theory and techniques of
important applications are pre
sented,” Randall pointed out. “Con
siderable laboratory practice is
provided to demonstrate the prin
ciples involved.”

“The Rotary Foundation Fellow

said. He serves as local repre

The fellowships are tenable at

Squadron 9 To Follow
Roundballers To Ozarks
An eag-er band of Aggies point their sights to the Ozarks
of Arkansas as they prepare to follow the varsity round
ballers on a Central Texas Co. bus which departs from
Aggieland at 2 a.m. Saturday.
Planned by seniors Hank Haliasz and Lee Grant, 35
members of Squadron 9 will be there to cheer the team
to another SWC victory, edging closer to that well-deserved
throne room.
Financed partly by outfit contributions, the rest of the
money was raised through the contributions of several
Bryan-College Station merchants.
Coach Metcalf was a vital link in making the trip a
reality as he assisted the boys in their endeavors. The
Cadets will wear Class A uniforms and the mess hall will
provide them with food.
