Briefs From Around The Campus
Rudder Warns Culver Grads Against Moral Decay
Culver, Ind. — “Gallant men
died 22 years ago to perpetuate
this free country we love,” a
veteran of the Normandy invasion
reminded Culver Military Acad
emy graduates on the D-Day an
niversary.
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.”

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.

class of 1934.

earth photographs of the moon’s
surface near its landing site in
the crater-pitted “Ocean of

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.

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.
