RAMADA INN Bryan - College Station 846-8811 Dream Comes True For A&M ‘Fish’ USDA HONORS VETERINARIAN Dr. Fred D. Maurer, left, associate dean of the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine, receives a certificate from the U. S. Department of Agriculture in recognition of “Out standing Contributions to the Training of Veterinarians in the Diagnosis of Foreign Animal Diseases.” Dr. John L. Wilbur of Austin, veterinarian in charge of animal disease eradication and animal inspection and quarantine for the USDA in Texas, makes the presentation. Maurer has studied animal disease in foreign countries and now heads A&M’s Institute of Tropical Veterinary Medicine. A Bucket-Seat Brigade Car-loving freshmen will ap preciate a light-hearted education plan outlined by a Texas A&M official. “Drive-in schooling may be the answer for these youngsters,” jokes Auston O. Kerley (cq), A&M’s Counseling and Testing Center director. “A massive drive-in campus would be ideal for the four-on- the-floor set,” he suggested. Pro fessors could make assignments via radio: ‘Car 47, answer ques tion number 5.’ ” “For lunch, students could order from the snack bar or wheel down to Aunt Susie’s Drive-In,” Kerley went on. “Dormitories could be replaced with motels,” he chortled. “And football stadiums could be dug deeper to accommodate multiple tiers for drive-in seating.” “These students might be called the bucket-seat brigade,” Kerley remarked. A dream of many years is com ing true for freshmen at Texas A&M. Freshmen entering A&M this fall will have only to pick up room keys to be bonafide stu dents. President Earl Rudder suggest ed a streamlined counseling, test ing and registration program sure to bring genuine smiles to faces of 2,500 entering freshmeh. Upperclassmen reap dividends from the freshmen’s good for tune. Their registration prob lems are lightened. Seventeen two-day summer conferences will host approximately 150 students each. Placement tests, orienta tion, measurements for Army or Air Force ROTC uniforms, dorm itory assignments, conferences with deans and department heads, and registration for classes are facets of conference. During the confabs, students may pay registration fees or make arrangements for lated pay ment. Books may be purchased or reserved. All conferences are directed by A&M’s Counseling and Testing Center. Placement tests indicate aptitude, achievement and per sonal interest. At the same time entering freshmen are taking tests, their parents receive informal orienta tion about the university. Questions are fired in gattling gun rapidity by parents: “What time are early classes?” “Who’s going to get the boys up as their mothers have for years ?” “What does GPR (grade point ratio) mean?” “When my 17-year-old son be comes 18, does he have to make special arrangements to register with his draft board?” “How many class cuts are freshmen allowed? “Does a freshman need a car?” “Do boys in the Corps have to wear their uniforms off cam pus?” The questions are seemingly endless. Counseling and Testing Center Director Auston Kerley usually comes up with a suitable answer. If he is stymied, he re fers the query to a dean. Mr. and Mrs. James R. Crowe of San Augustine termed the orientation and early registration “wonderful”. Their 18-year-old son, James, was a graduation present for them when Crowe was graduated from A&M in 1948. James plans to study electrical engineering. Wilbur Swanson, whose son Delbur (cq) will pursue an agri cultural economics major this fall, said the orientation far exceeds his in 1934. “They dumped us off the train like rats out of a sack,” he re called. “I was here four nights before I found out which dorm I was to live in.” The El Campo farmer-rancher’s remarks were echoed by Mrs. Swanson. “These boys get around,” she noted. “They know where they are and what’s going on.” Byron Douglas Myer, only child of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Meyer of Houston, will study chemical engineering. “We’re real pleased that the boys get a chance to get a feel of the campus,” Mrs. Meyer com mented. “Douglas is thrilled to be an Aggie. His uncle, a 1949 graduate, has brainwashed him. And my husband is an honorary member of the Houston A&M Club.” Roy Masterson of Dallas, a manufacturer’s representative who travels six states, pointed son Ronald toward pre-medical study at Aggieland. Dr. C. H. Ransdell, assistant dean of engineering, sums up the university’s attitude about A&M: “The best thing we have here is that boy.” THE BATTALION Thursday, June 16, 1966 College Station, Texas Page 7 HAPPY ‘FISH’ Reag-an George, center, who will be a freshman this fall at Texas A&M, reviews orientation materials with his par ents, Mr. and Mrs. A. A. George, 5251 Poinciana Houston. The Houston Waltrip High School graduate will pursue pre-medical studies at Aggieland. Reagan completed early registration this week. He needs only to pick up a room key to be a full-fledged Aggie.
