land of College Station as Aggie
Sweetheart for 1965-66.
Cheri, a 19-year-old sopho
more at TWU, won the honor
over nine other finalists who par
ticipated in an action-packed
weekend that included A&M’s
first home victory in two years.
The new sweetheart, now
pinned to 9,000 Aggies, will be
presented officially to the A&M
student body during halftime
ceremonies of the A&M-TCU
game in Fort Worth Saturday.
“I love them all,” the blue

Ur Force officials in Waco have
innounced.
Base commander Col. Charles
B. Lingamfelter announced the
administrative shakeup over the
weekend in Waco.
The facility, to be abandoned
by the Air Force after July, 1966,
was transferred to A&M last
spring for the purpose of creating
James Connally Technical Insti
tute, the state’s first high level
technical vocational training cen
ter.
The navigator training pro
gram currently administered from
Connally will be completed by
April 20, 1966. After that date

the base would have began close
out operations in preparation for
the transfer to A&M.
Under the new setup the Tacti
cal Air Command will take over
the base shortly after January 1,
1966, and will keep it in opera
tion from the time the navigator
training program is completed
until the facility is delivered to
A&M.
Rr. Roy Dugger, A&M vice
president and director of the In
stitute, said that he expects the
same friendly relationship be
tween the Tactical Air Command
regarding the starting of the new
technical center.
“And the change from one
major air command to the other
will not interfere with the pros
pect of developing a public jun
ior college alongside or in con
nection with Connally Tech,”
Dugger said.
The Air Force command reor
ganization is expected to prove
beneficial to A&M in that the
Technical Institute will not have
to absorb the initial burden of
maintaining the entire facility at
the start outset.
First courses of instruction at
the Institute will begin in the
early spring of 1966 and by next
September 15 to 18 technical
courses will be offered.
Air Force personnel did not
comment on whether the shake-
up would affect plans for 12th
Air Force headquarters.
