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.

Typical Collegian Problems
Multiplied For Melcher
How do you help a fellow who
doesn’t know what a bank ac
count is and speaks only a smat
tering of Engdish ?
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

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.”

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.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL.
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor
n earth for the building of charac-
sr and good citizenship. 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.
