Thursday, September 1, 1966 College Station, Texas Page 7 A&M Grid Success The biggest problem facing Texas A&M’s football picture this year is the lack of experience. Even though A&M will have 24 returning lettermen, there will be 53 sophomores listed on the 85-man rooster. Because of this, A&M will have a definite sopho- morish tint this fall. As many as seven or eight soph omores could start on A&M’s de fensive unit and a track sprint man, with no experience at A&M, could end up as the Aggie safety. Sophomores who are top candi dates for starting berths this fall are, far left bottom, Harvey Ash- cenbeck, defensive tackle; Joe Wood, far left, rover; Tommy Maxwell, center, offensive end; and Curley Hallman, left, defen sive back. Because of the sophomorish tint, the A&M football picture could be fatal, especially early in the season. The Church..For a Fuller Life..For You.. CALENDAR OF CHURCH SERVICES ST.

That’s one of a wide spec trum of problems faced by For eign Student Advisor Robert L. Melcher at Texas A&M. He as sists more than 500 students from 55 countries with academic prog ress, housing, social life, finance and religion. The firm but considerate tacks he takes with students from Afg hanistan to Viet Nam were de veloped from eight years at the job, and a military background including counselor work at A&M. Melcher’s responsibilities are expected to increase next month, with enrollment of 600 interna tional students from 60 countries. The intense, energic German speaking advisor developed A&M’s foreign student program from 175 in 1958 and credits campus-wide cooperation for growth he terms ‘phenomenal.” “A&M has very attractive pro grams that appeal to men all over the world,” Melcher said. “Qua lity, variety and attendant costs are key factors. Through agri cultural research in vegetable farming in the valley to wheat growing in Northwest Texas, goat ranching in West Texas to tim ber in the east, a boy can enter an area of agricultural interest to any country in the world. “We are limited in service to these students only by ingenuity and imagination,” he vows. “Our program is as good in practice as any in the U. S.,” the retired colonel added. “It’s, good because all elements of the uni versity cooperate to make it an operating program, not one of lip service.” Quality is evidenced by lettei’s Melcher gets. “I’m sending my brother to A&M,” one departed foreign stu dent wrote. “I know he’ll be well taken care of.” ‘We take a firm attitude toward these students,” the advisor re marked. Consideration of cul tural and economic differences is given. A light study load may ’ vJtfKM&Tjfc JjaMB > ‘ I *;|||| ROBERT L. MELCHER be required the first semester, but marks competitive with U. S. stu dents are expected, he added. The 1932 A&M graduate, who added a masters in agricultural economics in 1936, became in terested in youth work while in the 88th Infantry Division in World War II. A civil service job with the Bureau of Agricultural Econo mics in the U. S. Department of Agriculture was his, but Melcher came to A&M as a counselor. He had charge of 1,800 freshmen as assistant commandant at the an nex for three years, coordinated counselors on the main campus three more and became the for eign student advisor in 1958, drawing on experience from con ducting the Fourth Army Mili tary Intelligence School at Fort Sam Houston. The LaGrange native couldn’t speak English when he enrolled in the first grade. Trips to symphony and thea tre performances, museums, ro deos, rice farms, Houston Fat Stock Show and industrial tours are arranged by Melcher, who works closely with the Former Students Association, A&M moth er clubs, Institute of Internation al Education in Houston, and A&M’s People-to-People organiza tion. “Most international students need help of one sort or another when they arrive,” he said. “It’s a fulfilling job.” m. so ^ I MT Ifikr ^ 1. ^hinerai *_JTo BRYAN, TEXAS 502 West 26th St. PHONE TA 2-1572 Campus and Circle Theatres College Station College Station’s Own Banking Service University National Bank NORTH GATE Sure Sign of Flavor m %m --’"■"a The wind is like the power of God. It is invisible — you can neither see nor touch it. And yet it will carry a sailboat skimming across the waves with all the beauty and grace and freedom of a seagull. But whereas the wind may die and leave you drift ing aimlessly and helplessly with the tide, the strength of God remains eternally steadfast. It is through the Church that man is given under standing of this Power. For by worshipping God he can acquire the spiritual insight which gives fuel to his soul and purpose for his pursuits.

It is a store house of spiritual values. Without i strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can. survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regu larly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children’s sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regu larly and read your Bible daily.
