Earl Rudder, president of Tex as A&M in College Station, was a lieutenant colonel when he led a Ranger battalion up the 100- foot cliffs at Point du Hoe on June 6, 1944. “Many of the men who fought so desperately that day in France were Culver men,” Rudder added, “and we shall forever be in their debt.” The Army Reserve Major Gen eral told Culver cadets the first step toward greatness is con tinuation of education. “Your academic record will re main long after the echoes in the stadium have faded and long after the last dance,” Rudder re minded. The mark of a successful man is .development of personal con victions, he suggested. “I note with grave concern the moral decay of some college cam puses, the slovenly dress and bearded faces of beatniks who oppose decency and property authority,” Rudder said. “If this is what is needed to be popular on campus, I hope you will chose to be unpopular.” The president urged graduates to achieve success even though it would be easier to yield to pleasures. “Every one of you has the potential which is traditionally found among Culver graduates,” he commended. But successful men must be willing to do things they don’t want to do. They stretch themselves.” El Paso School Cops Top Award El Paso’s Thomas Jefferson High School is the sweepstakes award winner in high school news writing competition sponsored by Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalistic society. An engraved plaque has been awarded the school for the most prize-winning articles during the 1965-66 monthly contests. The El Paso school took honors in four of five categories. Irene Paez won first and second in general newswriting. Irma Rod riquez and Mike Holguin captured editorial writing and sportswrit- ing awards, respectively. Runnerup for the sweeptakes award was Weslaco High School with three prizes, including first and second place honors by Stephen Henry in general news writing. Glenn Dromgoole, past SDC president, announced the winners. A&M Grad Helps With Moon Probe Successful touchdown of the United States’ Surveyor space craft on the moon marked spe cial achievement for Texas A&M graduates. The camera-carrying moonship was built by the California In stitute of Technology’s Jet Pro pulsion Labs. Deputy director of the facility is Air Force Maj. Gen. Alvin R. Luedecke, A&M graduate of 1932. Nation-wide television coverage of the event was sponsored by the Gulf Oil Corp. Board chairman of Gulf is Ernest D. Brockett, class of 1934. Surveyor is transmitting to earth photographs of the moon’s surface near its landing site in the crater-pitted “Ocean of Storms.” Luedecke has an enviable 25- year military career. His posi tion at the JPL is preceded by deputy and assistant chief of staff posts in the Army Air Corps India-Burma and China theaters during World War II, executive secretary of the Mili tary Liaison Committee to the Atomic Energy Commission and commander of Joint Task Force Seven, in charge of nuclear test Can’t Study?

Class Of ’66 Gives $1,000 As Gift Texas A&M’s Class of ’66 has raised $1,000 for a six-foot sculp tured figure for the library. Class Treasurer Louis Sabay- rac of Houston presented the gift proposal to A&M President Earl Rudder on behalf of his class. Noted Hungarian sculptur Heri Bert Bartscht, head of the De partment of Art at the Universi ty of Dallas, has been asked to produce the figure. “The gift committee has sug gested a young man in study, thought or inspiration,” Sabayrac explained. “A clay model will be approved by a class committee before the final work begins,” he noted. Class representatives have con tacted architects for the $3.8 mil lion expansion of Cushing Library to insure their gift would be ap propriate. Exact location of the statue will be determined by architects and library officials, the senior representative noted. Uightfoot Attending Maintenance School Jim Lightfoot, weather station manager of the Department of Meteorology at Texas A&M, is attending an equipment mainte nance school at Westboro, Mass. The Alden Co. sponsored school is studying facsimile recorders. A&M’s fully-equipped weather station on the third floor of Goodwin Hall includes a 19-inch recorder, which produces sur faces maps of North America giving 127 items of information. Station instruments are mount ed on a 20 by 20 foot platform on Bizzell West, near the depart ment’s radar horns. Services rendered by the station include five-day weather prognosis.

(Continued from page 2) Editor, The Battalion Our association held an exhibi tion at the Memorial Student Center last week. The name was “Living in Modern India.” It at tracted wide attention and from general comments it could be con sidered a success. Mrs. Neela K. Rao and Mrs. Damyanthi P. Reddi, with the help of Mrs. Smerdon, Mrs. Mc Guire, Mrs. Griffins and the offi cers of the association did a very good job in putting up the dis play. The association takes this op portunity to thank all these peo ple as well as Mr. Boggan and Miss Moore for the photographs and the paintings. I would also like to thank the faculty and staff of the Departments of Agricul tural Information and Journal ism, who acted in an advisory ca pacity and without whose effort a display of such elegance would not have been possible.

Editor, The Battalion I just received a clipping that tells of the arrest of the Austia people who were distributing anti-Viet Nam war literature on campus. My congratulations to the campus police. There are a large number of Aggies serving their country in Viet Nam and I am sure then will be more in the years to come, I, myself, have been in Southeast Asia for two and one half years, Many Aggies have given their lives so that an oppressed people might enjoy the same freedoms that we as Americans enjoy. I am sickened to hear that then are those who would oppose onr fighting to defend these freedoms, The time for disagreement has passed. Our country is whole heartedly committed in Viet Nam and we must unite and support the policies of our government. If those who oppose the war in Viet Nam could only know and under stand the people and see the situ ation as it is here, it is just pos sible that they might see things in a different light. I am certain that these anti war beatniks can consider them selves fortunate that they were apprehended by the campus police and not by A&M students. Any American who creeps in the night, under the cover of dark ness, to distribute what I con sider to be subversive literature, makes a mockery of the very freedo-ms that we are fighting to preserve.
