We hope that with the cooperation of Texas A&M and other friends over the world that we can build a progressive nation.” Driss returned to Washington after two days on the A&M cam pus. He joined the students in celebrating the tenth anniversary of the independence of Tunisia. “Tunisia has entrusted its bright, young minds to us,” A&M President Earl Rudder said Sat urday at a luncheon honoring Driss. “This is one of the great est compliments which your peo ple can pay a university.” Rudder predicted A&M gradu ates will return to Tunisia and “become leaders of your nation.” “We want you, Mr. Ambassa dor, and other leaders of Tunisia to tell us how we can help your people,” he continued. Driss met Friday with Dr. Jack Gray, director of International Programs through which Chott Maria Agricultural College has been established in Tunisia by A&M educators. “The Tunisian students have been inspired by the Ambassa dor’s visit,” Gray observed. Driss talked with A&M’s 49 Tunisian students at a reception Friday night. Saturday morning the ambas sador toured the university’s nu clear reactor with Robert L. Mel- cher, A&M’s foreign student ad visor, as his host. The Presi dent’s luncheon was held at noon with key officials in the programs for the Tunisians joining Driss and Rudder. Dr. and Mrs. Randall Stelly honored the ambassador at a tea in their College Station home Saturday afternoon. Dr. Stelly, associate professor of agricul tural economics and sociology, is a student advisor. The Tunisian Students Club climaxed Driss’ visit with the second annual Tunisian Inde pendence Banquet Saturday night in the St. Mary’s Student Center.
