Duncan Worker
Wants Citizenship
By R. J. CLARK
Special Writer
“I would do anything to become
a citizen of the United States, and
only hope I can someday meet the
qualifications,” said Raymundo
Valadez, employee of Duncan Mess
Hall. Valadez told of his odd
situation, as he pushed stacks of
dishes and trays through the dish
washer at Duncan.
Born in Monterrey, Mexico, 1915,
he moved with his family to Texas
in 1918, at the age of 3. He has
lived in the United States since
then—46 years—but he is still not
a citizen of this country.
In compliance with federal law,
he has registered as an alien each
year in Washington, but has never
successfully completed application
for naturalization.
Valadez, 49, has, in the last few
months, become very concerned
about the matter of becoming a
citizen. When asked why all the
concern, since he has lived in this
country all his life without being
an official member, Valadez gave
the following reasons:
you're

“I have lived in the U. S. all
my life and do not know life in
the old country. A person should
be a citizen of the country in
which he lives.”
Secondly, “I own a lot and a
nice home in Bryan and have paid
social security all my life. I am
getting old and could pass away at
any time. If I were to die, I want
my wife and boys to get full benefit
of all I own, with no questions
asked.”
By law the United States re
quires an alien seeking citizenship,
among other things, to be able to
understand, read, write and speak
English. Also the alien is re
quired to have a basic knowledge of
our system of govemment. There
are certain exceptions to the above
requirements but they are not ap
plicable to Valadez since he is
not old enough for the exemptions,
which are based on an age limit.
He speaks English, can sign his
name and write a few other simple
words. He can read only the most
elementary words of the language.
And, his understanding of Ameri
can government is very limited.
In 1963, Valadez, assisted by his
father-in-law, filled out naturali
zation papers. But, feeling his
inability to comply with the stated
requirements, he never returned
the application.

Polygraph School
Keeps Only Best
Polygraph or “lie-detector” tests
are no better scientifically than
the trained examiner who conducts
the tests.
The opinion belongs to Ira Scott,
supervisor of the Polygraph School.
Believed to be the only university-
based school of its type, the Poly
graph School is a part of the Police
Training School under direction of
the Engineering Extension Serv
ice.
Scott also favors state and na
tional legislation in the near future
for licensing polygraph examiners.
He said such legislation is needed
to protect the public.
“So many people these days are
buying themselves a polygraph ma
chine and setting themselves up as
examiners without proper train
ing,” Scott explained, adding, “An
untrained or unethical operator can
ruin a man's character and his life
with an improper reading.”
The sixth session of the A&M
Polygraph School is underway at
the Research Annex. To date, since
the school was started in 1963,
about 45 men have received certifi
cates of completion of six weeks
of extensive training. After the
school is completed and graduates
go into the profession of a poly
graph examiner, they make 150 ex
aminations and send reports to
A&M. Their tests are checked, and
if all is in order, the examiner re
ceives an additional certificate of
proficiency.
A student undergoes a great deal
of testing before he is accepted
for the school. He must first pass
a series of tests administered by
the A&M Testing Service. And he
must have the intelligence quotient
of a college freshman.
The next step is an oral inter
view with Scott. Then comes a lie
detector test by an experienced
polygraph examiner.
“At least one third of all appli
cants are not accepted for one rea
son or another,” Scott revealed.
“It’s not fair to the man to accept
him if he can’t do the work,” he
added.
Once accepted and enrolled, stu
dents live in dormitories at the an
nex during the school. They re
ceive 18 hours of instruction in
physiology under Dr. R. H. Davis
and Dr. Don Clark of the School
of Veterinary Medicine. An anato
my course, 18 hours, is next, taught
by Dr. John Milliff of the School
of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Wal
ter Varvel and Dr. Albert Casey of
the Department of Education and
Psychology, teach 22 hours of psy
chology, usually in the last two
weeks of the school.

The new summer uniforms will
not be worn this semester, accord
ing to Maj. Wiley W. Bell of the
Commandant’s Office.
The uniforms can be picked up
now, however. Cadets must know
the size of both their trousers and
shirt before arriving at the Mili
tary Property custodian’s office.
Major Bell also disclosed that
since the new shirts will not be
worn with the winter pinks, more
khaki shirts may be issued. He
declined to say how many or when
the shirts will be issued, but said
that the problem was under study.

The Christmas spirit and the Ag
gie spirit go hand in hand when it
comes to the TB Christmas Seal
Campaign according to Mrs. D. W.
Williams, chairman of the 1964
Seal drive.
“The A&M students always sup
port the Christmas Seal Campaign
in such a fine way, Mrs. Williams
said, I am convinced that the Ag
gie spirit and their spirit of giving
are one.”
One donor brought in his piggy
bank filled with small coins, a total
of $7.79, and said, “I know of no
better place to put this money than
on the TB Christmas Seal Cam
paign.” Others have sent in five,
ten and fifteen-dollar donations.
The drive to raise funds for com
bating tuberculosis in Brazos Coun
ty not only brings many large and
small contributions from the A&M
students but also many letters
which reveal the real Christmas
spirit, the chairman said.

many. He spoke in the Biological
Sciences Lecture Room.
Dr. Aschoff following especially
fruitful studies of the daily rhy
thms of animals recently initiated
research concerning such rhythms
in man.
Much of this work may have par
ticular value for determining pos

travel on man.
Dr. Aschoff has published sev
