Mankins became the “doctor”

Plans to move the University
Archives from Cushing Memor
ial Library to Room 103 of the
Academic Building have been an
nounced by archivist Ernest Lang
ford. He said the move should
be made next week.
The University Archives lated

lew library building which will
provide “excellent space” for the
rollection, Langford said.
some deer. He said his wife was
in severe pain, so I took a look
and found she was ready to give
birth. Her sister was supposed to
come to help, but she didn’t ar
rive, so I delivered the baby.
After that the word got around
that I was a doctor as well as a
batman,” Mankins continued.
Mankins had previous experi
ence as a hospital laboratory tech
nician in California, but had little
knowledge of obstetrics.
The language problem gave
Mankins little trouble since he
speaks Spanish, the accepted
language in Honduras. Finding
suitable transportation proved to
be a major problem since roads
were almost non-existant.
With the help of his 15-year old
son, Dick, Mankins collected spec
imens of agoutis, grison, prehen
sile-tailed porcupines, gophers,
o’possums, margay, squirrel, ant-
eaters and a specimen new to the
A&M collection, a 7-banded arma
dillo.
“We obtained what is probably
the largest collection of one spec
ies of agoutis (rabbit-like ani
mals) from Roatan,” Mankins re
ported.
The researchers were bitten and
scrathced by bats and margay,
but didn’t bother to take shots,
he said. “A dab of iodine here
and there and we were ready to
continue,” Mankins commented.
The Mankins learned to live off
the land. Agoutis were the main
meat dish and mangoes, bananas,
zapotes, and squash were plenti
ful. Sugar and coffee shortages
were apparent, they felt.
Heavy rains caused them to
spend a lot of time digging the
station wagon out of mudholes.
Storms blew their camps down
Mankins, who hopes to make
his home in Central America
someday, earned a Master of Arts
degree in biology at Chico State
College in California and a Bach
elor of Science degree in wildlife
technology at the University of
Montana.

AN AGOUTIS? SO’S YER OLD MAN!
Jerry Hankis, who recently became A&M’s “great white
doctor" in Honduras, holds a pet Agoutis for his son Dick
to inspect. Mankis collected the specimen while doing re
search for his Ph.D. degree in the Central American
jungles.

The Texas Clipper with 120 of the Halifax area were among

board is sailing the North At-
antic and due in Copenhagen,
enmark July 22. The ship was
in Halifax, Nova Scotia, last
weekend as the first port of call
or the training cruise which ends
t Galveston Aug. 22.
“All hands are looking forward
;o the next port of call — Copen-
Ihagen. Arrangements are being
jrAFF prepared by the United States
iTTED Embassy for the entertainment of *
the Texas cadets,” Capt. Bennett
Dodson said. Superintendent
f the maritime academy, he com-
ands the Texas Clipper.
Plans call for the TMA cadets
nd 40 others aboard the ship
o visit Denmark, Edinburgh and
Southhampton in the British Isles
and Bermuda before returning to
homeport.
The Texas Clipper sailed from
Galveston to Halifax, a distance
of 2400 miles, in a little less than
seven days, Capt. Dodson report-

highlights of the visit to Nova

Some 30 TMA cadets also were
honored with invitations to the
annual black-tie dance of the
Royal Canadian Navy.
Captain Dodson said the Texas
Clipper averaged 14.25 knots on
the Galveston Halifax run with
the throttle “kept down in order
to break in all bearings and other
machinery which had recently
been overhauled.”
Early volumes of the “Texas
Almanac,” Texas A&M publica
tions and other materials pertain
ing to the Lone Star State are
among the types of publications
needed to boost Cushing Memorial
Library’s growing collection of
Texana materials.
A milestone in the program be
gun early in 1964 will be marked
once the Texas A&M library is
in its new building. Included in
the building plans are “special
accomodations” for a Texas Col
lection.
An “exhaustive collection” of
materials pertaining to Texas
A&M and “a good, general col
lection” of other Texana are
broad objectives, Miss Clara Mc-
Francis said. She heads the cata
log department of Cushing Mem
orial Library.
“A count of holdings in the
Texas Collection shows 328 vol
umes,” Miss McFrancis said.
More than 900 other volumes of
Texana are elsewhere on the
library shelves.
Rare items including a number
from the Asbury Collection are
included in the Texas Collection.
S. E. (Doc) Asbury willed his col
lection to the Texas A&M Library.
Asbury came to the Texas Agri
cultural Experiment Station in
1904 and retired 40 years later.
His interests included music, poe
try, drama and Texas history.
The Asbury Collection has help
ed fill gaps created by the loss
of virtually the entire library
when Old Main burned in 1912.
The extremely limited library
resources available in earlier
years also were cited by Miss
McFrancis.
Duplicate copies of newly-pub
lished Texana now are acquired
with one copy reserved for the
Texas Collection.
“The goal is to make our cur
rent additions exhaustive,” Miss
McFrancis said.

The limit of graduate students
this September in the School of
Business Administration has
been reached, Dr. John E. Pear
son announced. He said no more
students will be accepted unless
vacancies develop.
The quota of 70 graduate stu
dents was announced early this
year. Students seek the Mas
ter of Business Administration
degree.
Texas A&M thus became pos
sibly the first university in Tex
as to establish a limit upon grad
uate enrollment in business. The
quota was described as neces
sary “to assure a quality grad
uate program with the resources
available.Hopes are to in
crease the quota in the future,
Pearson said.
Among the 70 students are 26
who already started studies. The
44 new students were chosen
from more than 115 applicants
with additional applications still
arriving. In the School of Busi
ness there also are some 20 spe
cial students preparing to meet
quirements.
The 70 students accepted are
“predominantly” Texan, Dr. R.
M. Stevenson, graduate advisor,
said.
“And about a third of the
students are honor graduates,”
he pointed out.
The realigned Master of Busi
ness Administration program
provides for study in four pro
fessional fields. These are or
ganization and administration,
statistics, computer science and
accounting.
About 40 percent of the grad
uate students plan to concentrate
in the computer science field. An
equal number chose organiza^-
tion and administration. The
others wil study either account
ing or statistics as ther profes
sional field.
The undergraduate majors of
the students are varied. Among
the majors represented; in ad
dition to business administration
are agriculture, economics, engi
neering, the humanities and
music.
