A&M Budget Gets
$8.5 Million Hike
Special to The Battalion
AUSTIN — The compromise
appropriations bill agreed upon
earlier this week by the House-
Senate Conference Committee will
increase Texas A&M’s operating
budget by nearly $8.5 million over
the last biennium.
However, the $27,656,507 bud
geted in the bill was nearly $2.5
million less than had been re
quested.
Floor debate was expected to
begin on the bulky measure Wed
nesday.
The bill allotted the univer
sity $13,517,900 for fiscal 1966
and $14,138,607 for fiscal 1967.
Rogers’ Coed
Bill Delayed
By Committee
The Texas A&M limited c)o-
education bill was delayed another
week Monday when Rep. Bill
Parsely of Lubbock refused to re
port the bill and it was rereferred
to the House Education Committee.
The bill was immediately re
ferred to a friendly subcommittee
heaved by Rep. John Traeger of
Seguin, and all three subcommittee
members indicated they would ap
prove the measure and present it
favorably to the full committee
Monday night.
The bill was the House version
of Senator Andy Rogers’ SB 290
limiting the unrestricted admission
of female students at A&M. That
bill has already secured Senate
committee approval and is waiting
further action in the House.
The House version is sponsored
by Rep. E. M. Edwards of Plat-
tonville.
Rogers had charged Parsley last
Week with deliberately delaying
action on the bill in order to bar
gain for a slice of a $3 million
Water research grant awarded to
Texas A&M by the federal gov
ernment.
An administrative aide to Rogers
fold The Battalion Tuesday that
although the bill had been delayed,
there was still a good chance of
it being approved by the legisla
ture.
The spokesman also said Rogers
Was interested in appearing on
campus to explain and speak in
favor of his bill. She added that
be was in the process of seeking
permission from university offi
cials to speak.
Included in the budget hike
was a salary increase for Presi
dent Earl Rudder to $21,000, thus
equalling the salary of the chan
cellor of the University of Texas.
Faculty salary monies will a-
mount to $6,782,611 in 1966 and
$7,121,277 in 1967 — a $2.2 mil
lion increase over present funds.
Cushing Memorial Library will
receive $652,858 for each of the
next two years, amounting to an
annual boost of $280,963.
Funds provided for organized
research more than doubled —
from $200,000 in 1965 to $434,-
357 in 1966 and $452,477 in 1967.
An all-fund appropriation of
$1.1 million is also included in the
bill.
Other System Offices receiv
ing considerable budget increases
include the Extension Service,
$18,355,306; the Engineering Ex
periment Station, $5,408,565; En
gineering Extension Service, $1,-
419,882; Texas Maritime Aca
demy, $703,376; Texas Forest
Service, $3,358,012; Tarleton
State College, $2,944,700, and
Prairie View A&M, $6,999,280.

By GERALD GARCIA
Managing Editor
Dr. Bell I. Wiley, noted Civil
War historian, claimed Tuesday
night that the war “eliminated
one of the greatest evils this na
tion has ever known—slavery.”
Wiley expressed this view at
the final 1965 University Lecture
during his talk on “The Memor
able War.”
The distinguished historian
from Emory University told a
capacity crowd in the Chemistry
Lecture Room that the people of
the nation should not “celebrate
the war, but should commemo
rate its heroes.”
“Why should we remember the
war?” Wiley questioned the au
dience.
The major reasons brought
forth by Wiley were:
1. It was our war—fought for
Americans, by Americans, in bat
tlefields on American soil and
for American issues.
2. Because of the heroes that

FEMALE NEEDS RIDE HOME
A female charmer named Pen
ny needs a rid& home to Denison
with an Aggie Some future week
end.
But the level-headed girl won’t
be interested in her chauffeur in
the least. Penny is a toy terrier.
Jack T. Kent, an associate pro
fessor of mathematics, found
Penny in a roadside park be
tween Schulenburg and Halletts-
ville a few days back. The tiny
dog had the name of the vet who
had vaccinated her for rabies on
her tag, and Kent contacted the
doctor, who identified the dog’s
owners.
They are Mr. and Mrs. C. C.
Wright, an elderly Denison cou
ple.
The Wrights want Penny back
but can’t pick her up and can’t
afford to have her sent to them.
Any person who could take the
dog to Denison should contact
Kent at 846-8821, 846-6835 or
846-5644.
The World at a Glance

MOSCOW—An unmanned Soviet space capsule
will try to alight gently on the moon Wednesday in
the most advanced experiment toward landing men
there, an official Soviet announcement indicated.
The Lunik 5—a 3,250-pound spacecraft launched
last Sunday — will try the landing at least six
months ahead of an American attempt to set down
a functioning device on the moon.
Previous Soviet and American shots at the
moon have either crashed into it, stopping the flow
of radioed information, or missed it. A soft landing
could provide a continued flow of surface data vital
for sending men to the moon safely.

MOSCOW—The Soviet government Tuesday ex
pelled an American diplomat on charges of whip
ping up racial discontent among African students
with gifts of food and liquor.
“I deny the charges,” said the diplomat, Norris
D. Garnett. The U.S. Embassy backed him.
Garnett, 33, a Negro cultural attache, was ex
pected to leave within a week.
The expulsion followed public complaints of
African students that they had suffered racial dis
crimination in the Soviet Union.

PORT MORESBY, New Guinea — Cultists
spread the word in the primitive village of Galun
recently that a giant egg would show up in the sky
and hatch American goods and dollars on the people.
Hundreds of villagers waited in vain.

WASHINGTON—President Johnson said Tues
day night that “we would rather men would quarrel
with our action to insure peace than curse us
through all eternity for inaction which might lose
us both our peace and freedom.”
This slap at critics of administration policies
in Viet Nam and the Dominican Republic was de
livered to an applauding audience of about 1,500 at
the National Association of Home Builders Conven
tion.
“Let no one anywhere,” Johnson said, “enter
tain either the needless fear or the futile hope that
this nation will ever falter in meeting all its re
sponsibilities.

AUSTIN—Senators advanced Tuesday bills
adding two senior colleges to the state system de
spite a warning the schools will be merely “super-
duper junior colleges.”
The Senate voted 17-12 to pass on the second
of three required readings Sen. A. M. Aikin’s bill
creating Texarkana State College and 18-12 to ap
prove tentatively Sen. Pete Snelson’s bill to create
Permian State College in Odessa.
Both bills call for making the schools the 23rd

new College Coordinating Board approves the pro

PORTLAND—Southern Pacific Railroad work
ers digging out a dredging machine that had been
stuck near Portland in South Texas uncovered most
of the remains of a skeleton Tuesday.
Peace Justice J. D. Outlaw and Dr. Lelan Long
of Portland said it is very possible the skelton
was that of a victim of a 1919 hurricane that killed
several thousand persons in the South Texas coastal
area.
Long said the skeleton apparently was that of
a man 60 to 70 years old.
the war produced—Robert E.
Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Na
than B. Forrest, Abe Lincoln,
Ulysses S. Grant and William T.
Sherman.
3. It was a transitional war—
troops charged in masses and of
ficers would lead the charge.
4. Last of the old wars and
first of the new wars—railroads,
photographs, telegraphs, iron
clad warfare, machine guns and
submarines were first used.
5. It was a big ivar—many
men were lost. In one battle a
company with 382 men had only
two men alive after a one-day
battle. More Americans were
killed in the Civil War than all
the other wars Americans have
been engaged in.
6. It was a testing time for
Americans—they were either go
ing to fight together for the
democratic way or fall divided.
7. It had good things come out
of it—then end of a dark era
with slavery defeated, and it
showed the world that democracy
was a new way to live.
“The greatest American was
born during the war,” Wiley
claimed.
“He was Abe Lincoln—the
statesman of the war, the peo
ple’s president and the symbol
of America.”
“More books have been writ
ten about Lincoln than any other
man in history, except for Jesus
Christ,” Wiley noted.
The historian said that Lee
was a great man for the South.
He was a good leader and got
the respect of his men by not
cursing and being very religious.
“Sometimes I wish Lee would
have at least said “damn” so I
could feel closer to him,” Wiley
jokingly commented.
“This nation will never see
secession again because we
(Americans) are proud of our
past and are hopeful for the fu
ture,” he concluded.
Thearl To Serve
As Food Director
Harold R. Thearl has been named
Acting Director of Food Services
at Texas A&M, Clark Munroe, di
rector of personnel, has announced.
He will succeed Frank F.
Nugent, who has submitted his
resignation effective June 1.
Thearl came to Texas A&M last
August after serving as director
of food services at the Mexia
State School. He was responsible
for feeding more than 2,400 per
sons there.
“He has been selected because of
the exceedingly fine job he has
done in the management of Sbisa
Dining Hall,” Cherry said of
Thearl’s appointment.
Thearl is a native of Hope, Ark.
He spent more than 22 years in
the Army food services before re
tiring as a sergeant first class.
The last five years were spent as a
food and pastry instructor at the
Army Quartermaster School, Fort
Lee, Va.
WAR ELIMINATED GREATEST EVIL
Dr. Beil I. Wiley, authority on the Civil War, presented the
final 1965 University Lecture Thursday night on “The
Memorable War.” Wiley said that the war eliminated a
great evil—slavery. The war also proved to the world
that democracy was a new way of life.
$3,500 Program Begun/
For MFC Improvements
With the issuing of barracks
bags last week, the Military
Property Custodian, F. T. Mathis,
has launched a $3,500 program
to improve the facilities and
services of the Military Property
warehouse.
The remodeling of the facili
ties will be more of a shifting
around of the present physical
plant and changing the opera
tional procedure of the ware
house.
Actual physical changes will
be installation of two permanent
9 x 10 dressing rooms, one for
Army and one for Air Force, and
20 portable racks to hang blouses
and AG'-44 jackets in a pressed
condition.
W. E. Donaldson, director of
purchases and stores, said that
there are no plans at this time to
expand or change the location of
the warehouse.
The issuing of barracks bags
to cadets will now become a per-
m a n e n t procedure, Donaldson
added. This will allow the cadet
to store his uniforms at the end
of the spring semester at a desig
nated place near his dorm area.
The locations this year are Mil
ner Hall and Dorm 12. This will
permit the cadet to draw his uni
forms almost as soon as he re
turns the next fall.
Mathis said that the upper
classmen will have their uni
forms stored at another location,
making it unnecessary for them
to report to the warehouse in the
fall. This will greatly reduce the
long lines that have been so
prevalent in the past.
Other changes planned to cut
down on the long lines will be
the shortening of the front coun
ters, placing the alteration at
tendants next to the dressing
rooms and bringing the new stu
dents in the front door and out
the back.
Also in the fall all pre-regis-
tered Air Force freshmen will
draw their uniforms at door 13
and Army freshmen at door 14,
at the rear of the warehouse.
These doors will not be used as
exits by those drawing uniforms.
Addresses Needed
Graduating seniors who wish to
receive their ’65 Aggieland should
leave their mailing address at
the Student Publications Office
in the basement of the YMCA
before May 21.
