Citizen “You will teach me?’’, ques tioned Raymundo Valadez, a Tex as A&M dining hall employe. “Yes, I’ll be happy to teach you,” smiled Dr. Kate Adele Hill, chairman of the Texas Literacy Council. The conversation was in 85th District Court in Bryan, moments after Valadez had been sworn in as a naturalized citizen of the United States. The Monterrey, Mexico, native had been studying toward that goal for almost two years. District Judge John M. Barron remarked that American citizen ship is among the greatest gifts which can be given a person. “You have as many civil rights as President Johnson or Presi dent Lincoln before him,” Barron emphasized. “American citizen ship is not properly appreciated in this country.” The 49-year-old Valadez moved to Texas when he was three, in 1918, and had resided in the United States since. He and his wife, Arcadia, have lived in Bry an since 1945, moving from Waco. They have eight children, five boys and three girls. Mrs. Vala dez was born at Bastrop. Valadez has studied under Dr. Hill since December, 1964, with emphasis on English and Ameri can Government. He passed a rigid test which might befuddle native-born Americans. “Raymundo has really worked at becoming an American,” Dr. Hill said. “He goes to work ' 7, ‘' ~~ OPEN YOUR ACCOUNT NOW! Paid Quarterly on INSURED SAVINGS AT FIRST FEDERAL ! SAVINGS and LOAN ASSOCIATION 2913 Texas Ave. about 5 a.m. each day. This gives him time to spend an hour or so studying’ with me in the afternoons.” At Judge Barron’s request, Dr. Hill spoke briefly during the ceremony. “I want to pay tribute to Ag gies who helped Raymundo achieve his goal: Judge Barron (’35), Brooks Gofer (’43), W. D. Burley (’41), Hollis Duke (’54), V. G. Young (’34), J. B. Cloudt (’42) and R. J. Clark,” Dr. Hill commented. Cloudt participated in cere monies as attorney for the U. S. Justice Department. Clark wrote an article in The Battalion, A&M’s student newspaper, which called Dr. Hill’s attention to Ray- mundo’s desire to become a U. S. citizen. Asked why he wanted to be come a citizen, Valadez said: “I have lived here all my life and do not know life in the old country. A person should be a citizen of the country in which he lives.” “I own a nice home and lot in Bryan,” he continued, “and have paid social security all my life. When I die, I want my wife and family to get full benefit of all I own, with no questions asked,” Valadez emphasized. ^ PARDNER YotTII Always Win The Showdown When You Get Your Duds Done At CAMPUS CLEANERS CRITERIA FOR A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS AT TEXAS A&M A reputation built on 25 years of friendship A service - not just a business A knowledge of Aggie needs and wants Courteous and responsible employees and An Aggie at the helm THIS AND MUCH MORE IS YOURS AT LOUPOT'S “Ask any Aggie” Frogman Now Plunges Into Books A Navy Frogman who leaped into the Atlantic to assist Edward White, James McDivitt and Gem ini 4 out of the brine prefers plunging into books at Texas A&M. Lt. Martin Every, of the first space walk Gemini flight, just finished his first semester of geo logical oceanography. The 26-year-old still bites the oxygen mouthpiece occasionally. He was an instructor in A&M’s SCUBA diving course last spring, and may teach again next fall. “He was the best man we had,” commented co-instructor Don Walsh, world-record deep ocean diver. “Marty is our most ex perienced diver, with the most time in the water.” Every had been doing Navy undersea work five years when he was released from active duty in January. He’s up to his nose in studies now, and feels he may yet need water-wings to keep from going under. “It’s been a long while since I cracked a book,” Every remarked. “Settling into academic life is a lot of work.” He graduated from Notre Dame with a degree in bio chemistry in 1961. He’s having to take eight undergraduate geol ogy courses. If he covers ground as fast as during his pre-service and Navy days, Every will catch up quickly. The New York born, Indiana- reared diver lived in Scotland four years and the Bahamas two, where he first dipped into SCUBA diving 7% years ago. The Navy capitalized on it, sending him to Fort Benning, Puerto Rico, Key West, Little Creek Amphibian Base, Va., and Santo Domingo for training that earned him parachutist’s gold wings and experience in under water reconnaissance, demoli tions, submarine tube ejection and all types diving gear. He was commander of Duty Team 21 that fastened a flotation collar to GT-4 and rode the waves until ship pickup. After cradling the spacecraft in the inflatable rubber gasket, the team con versed with the astronauts. “They were as excited as a couple of kids,” said Every who described the recovery on nation al TV. “McDivitt wanted to jump from the capsule to the col lar in trampoline fashion.” Every said the pre-splashdown wait was the toughest part of the assignment. “I lost 11 pounds in a wet suit waiting in the helicopter,” the slender swimmer noted. “Over-confidence is the experi enced diver’s chief problem,” the oceanography student said. “Div ing forgives one mistake, but not a combination.” A&M’s SCUBA class teaches basics. It’s brevity is a source of concern to him. “These people have no knowl edge of a true marine environ ment and how to get along with a man o’ war or sea urchin,” Every explained. He isn’t likely to lose touch with a face mask and oxygen bottles. His wife Bonnie Jo, speed therapist at A&M Consolidated, is an amateur diver and likes tie underwater scene. mrsday, J Dr. Ray Receives Federal Study Grant Dr. Sammy M.
