Semi-Finalists Named
For A&M Sweetheart;
27 Tessies Competing
Twenty-seven girls from
Texas Woman’s University
were selected Tuesday as
semi-finalists in the 1964-65
Aggie Sweetheart competi
tion.
Frank Muller, president of the
Student Senate, said the prelimi
nary selections were made with
the help of Nanette Gabriel and
Jane Sullins, both of TWU.
The 27 girls were chosen by
Muller, Garry Tisdale, Hale Burr,
Neil Keltner and Bill Camp. Selec
tions were based on photographs.
Muller said there were 50 appli
cations for this years competition.
Muller Likes LBJ’s Plan
President Wants White House Fellows
A&M Student Body President
Frank M. Muller Jr., thinks
highly of President Johnson’s
plans for a new program called
the White House Fellows.
Muller and more than 200 other
student leaders from across A-
merica were guests of the first
family at a buffet and recep
tion Saturday and heard the plans
announced.
The object is to give carefully
chosen young people first hand,
high-level experience with the
workings of the federal govern
ment.
“I think the plan is a wonderful
idea,” Muller said.
President Johnson was quoted
by White House correspondents
as saying “The Fellows will be
younger men and women — 23
to 35 — chosen from business,
law, journalism, the universities,
architecture or other occupa
tions.”
Muller said it was inferred the
program for 15 persons to serve
two years would be started early
next summer.
Muller and the others attend
ing the White House reception
and buffet also heard three Cabi
net members outline their duties,
problems and goals. The three
were Secretary of Defense Ro
bert S. McNamara, Secretary of
State Dean Rusk and Secretary
of Labor Willaird Writz.
“The speeches were very real
istic, very forceful and there was
no political emphasis on anything
that was said,” Muller reported.
Muller wore a winter uniform
and his senior boots for the White
House visit and was quickly spot
ted as an Aggie as he passed
through the receiving line com
posed of the Johnsons and their
daughter, Lynda Bird.
“As I was introduced to him,
he sent greetings to Chancellor
M. T. Harrington and President
Earl Rudder,” Muller said.
The student leader plans to re
port informally on his trip this
week and to relay the greetings
to Harrington and Rudder. He
also will report to Dean of Stu
dents J. P. Hannigan.
The Student Senate will hear
a report on the White House
visit at their next regular meet
ing Oct. 15.
Muller’s report also will in
clude mention of the buffet sup
per and entertanment at which
Lynda Bird Johnson was hostess.
“Of course, the food was won
derful,” he said.
Entertainment was provided by
the Chad Mitchell Trio, Bob New-
hart and Stan Goetz. At 9 p.m.
Lynda Bird thanked the students
for coming, Muller recalled.
Muller and the student leaders
fully realized they were at the
White House as they went out
onto the front balcony before
leaving. They had entered by the
back and been in rooms not
shown on the customary White
House tours.
Muller said a five man commit
tee will fly to Denton Saturday
to interview the semi-finalists and
select 15 finalists The finalists
will be notified Sunday, Muller
said.
The committee consists of Bob
Boone, faculty advisor; Garry Tis
dale, senior class; Paul Oliver,
Civilian Student Council; Julian
Smith, junior class, and Barney
Fudge, sophomore class.
The 15 finalists will appear on
campus the weekend of Oct. 16.
Muller said the sweetheart selec
tion comittee will meet each con
testant. Each finalist will have
dinner in Duncan Dining Hall, at
tend the Town Hall presentation
of the Clebanoff Strings and at
tend Midnight Yell Practice.
Each finalist will be introduced
to the student body at the yell
practice.
To be eligible for the selection,
the coed had to be a sophomore or
higher classification and have at
least a 1.5 grade point ratio.

LBJ, Lady Bird Team Up
In Swing Through South
By The Associated Press
President Johnson teamed up in
politics with Lady Bird Johnson
Tuesday night and, blazing away
at Republican Barry Goldwater,
declared in tobacco country that
“the way to raise farm income is
not to launch a farm depression.”
Getting into the farm issue for
the first time in the campaign,
Johnson hooted at what he said
are “those who have called for
—and I quote—‘prompt and final
termination of the farm subsidy
program’.”
Goldwater has urged gradual
government withdrawal from agri
culture so that, as he puts it, farm
ers could operate in freedom. The
words Johnson quoted are from
Goldwater’s 1960 book, “Conscience
of a Conservative.”
But Johnson said that ending
the farm subsidy program would
cut farm income in half, from $12
to $6 billion, and send one out of
five American farmers into bank
ruptcy.
On a trip whose purpose he said
definitely is politics, he predicted
in remarks prepared for a rally at
Reynolds Coliseum that Tuesday,
Nov. 3, is “going to be a great
Democratic day in America.”
The stepped-up drive for a
mighty election victory—-a drive
that will carry him in the next
week into more than a dozen states

Visit To Chile Inspires
Another Trip For Tisdale
Fresh from a summer trip to
Chile, A&M senior Garry Tisdale
of Tyler is already planning an
other trip to a foreign country
next summer.
As a participant in the Exper
iment in International Living, the
international law and relations
major spent the summer as a
guest of Senor Orlando Ramirez,
a teacher in a girls high school at
Talca, about 250 miles south of
Santiago.
“The trip not only gave me a
chance to travel, it provided an
opportunity to learn a culture
other than our own,” said Tis
dale. “I found that people are
really the same everywhere. It’s
a tremendous feeling to know
that you have friends 7,000 miles
away and that you plan to see
them again someday.”
Garry started his journey by
hitch-hiking to Miami, Fla., from
Tyler in five days. He cele
brated his flight to South Amer
ica with a birthday party aboard
the plane.
“Some of the kids bought a
birthday cake during a stop in
Panama, and we had a big party,”
he recalled.
“Another celebration came July
4. Our ‘parents’ planned a sur
prise party for us because they
knew we were homesick,” he
said.
“All the students in the area
participating in the Experiment
in International Living were
there,” he said. “We sang our
National Anthem about a dozen
times, then we sang theirs. The
party lasted until about 4 a.m.
the next day,” Tisdale continued.
Garry would board a train al
most every morning for a ride
of about 200 miles to see the
country After seeing the sights,
he would hitchike back home.
Locally, he toured a large candy
factory and a wine factory.
“Rep. Olin Teague arranged a
visit with Ambassador Charles
W. Cole for me,” Tisdale said.
“I also met President Alessandri
on my own. He lives in an apart
ment near the palace, and walks
to work. I just walked up and
introduced myself. Later I took
a tour of the president’s palace
and had lunch and coffee in the
Congress. Their congress was
debating Chile’s break with Cuba
while I was there.”
electoral votes he needs to win.
From now on the people and
the country are going to be seeing
a lot of their campaigning Presi
dent. He intends to report to them
on what he calls the administra
tion’s proud record and try to sell
it to Democrats and Republicans
alike.
Johnson is heading into the
busiest phase of the campaign,
with the election just four weeks
away, still hammering hard on the
themes that the nation is prosper
ous, responsibility and restraint
in the White Houst are vital, and
peace is the great goal.
Sen. Barry Goldwater stumped
suburban Philadelphia Tuesday,
charging that minority groups
with high-priced lobbyists “run
this country” under the Democrats.
And he declared at a suburban
shopping center rally that too
many newsmen belive Americans
have accepted centralized govern
ment.
Goldwater and Rep. William E.
Miller will discuss nine campaign
issues during 30 nationwide tele
casts beginning Thursday, the Re
publican National Committee an
nounced Tuesday.
