Aggie Encounters
Hectic Summer
Aggie Paul Bleau doesn’t be
long to the Jet Set.
Not yet.
The adventurous senior agricul
tural education major took the
scenic route to his home in Lynn,
Mass., this summer. Down to his
last $2 when vacation time ar
rived, he became more or less a
Knight of the Road.
“I decided to visit an old friend
at Michigan State before heading
home,” Bleau recalls. “In Mis
souri, I met another guy working
his way across country. He helped
me get a job shoveling chicken
manure for $10 a day.
“We worked as long as we
could stand the odor—two days,”
Bleau grimaced in recollection.
“Then we coaxed his wreck of a
car into Michigan. It got about
100 miles to a tank of gas and we
pushed it half the time.”
FINDING HIS MSU friend in
financial straits, Bleau parted
with a new suit and most of his
cash before hitting the road
again. He chose to visit Canada
via the thumb, but received a free
bus ticket back to Detroit when
immigration officials at Windsor,
Ontario, informed him that hitch
hiking is unlawful there.
Michigan shares Canada’ss sen
timents on hitch-hiking, so Bleau
checked in with Traveler’s Aid for
advice. Soon he was a $10 a day
employe in a labor pool.
“I painted Army jeeps, hung
fenders in a Ford assembly plant,
operated a sheet metal cutting
machine and worked two days as
a porter at a hotel,” Bleau ex
plained.
“With one helper, I ran 100
tons of steel through a 12-foot
shearing rhachine in a day,” he
groad. “Yo« wouldn’t believe the
aches and pains I had the next
day.
“LUCKILY, I found a decent
hotel for $10.50 a week in thf
worst part of Detroit,” Bleau
reminisced. “I met some interest
ing people there. Most of them
were alcoholics who for one rea
son or another wound up on skid
row.
“All the men knew I was a
stranger to their life, so they

went out of their way to help me,”
he continued. “They knew the
cheapest and best places to eat.
And they knew where the best
jobs were.
“Food was high and I had to
eat a lot to keep pace with the
work loads,” Bleau added. “As a
result, I saved about $1 a day.
Finally, in a great effort to get
on my way, I worked a double
shift and made enough money to
take me within eight miles of
home. Then I hitch-hiked that
final leg.”

YMCA Presents
Life was more beautiful for
Bleau the next week. He joined a
friend aboard a 40-foot yacht be
fore signing on as a machine re
pairman in an engineering firm.
THE SANDY-HAIRED student
prospered working on lathes and
milling machines.
‘God Is Dead’Talk
“I bought a good set of tools,”
he said. “From now on, they will
be with me everywhere I go.
There’s always work for a man
who can use tools.”
Bleau plans to take several
shop courses in agriculture this
year, delaying his graduation.
Eventually, he hopes to teach vo
cational subjects in agriculture
and trade schools overseas.
The 25-year old self-styled
Texan visited India and Pakistan
last summer as an experimenter
in international living. In 1964, he
worked in a community develop
ment program in Zambia, Africa.
Back to the present, Bleau
offers advice to hitchhikers.
“I tell them that they also
should learn the freight train
schedules for the areas they plan
to travel.”
Bleau swore off hitchhiking for
his return trip to Aggieland.
Ho took a jet.
Dr. Grady Hardin, professor
at the Perkins School of Theology
of Southern Methodist University,
will speak on the “God is Dead”
theology at 6:30 p.m. Monday in

The lecture will be delivered
after a coldcut supper for the reg
ular YMCA meeting.
Hardin, a native of South Caro
lina, received his undergraduate
degree from Duke University.
After taking ministerial training
at Duke Divinity School, he
served in the Western North Car
olina Conference of the Methodist
Church from 1937 to 1947.
He transferred to the Texas
Conference in 1947 and served
two years as associate preacher
of the First Methodist Church in
Houston.
Hardin moved to his present
post in 1957.
He has contributed articles,
sermons, and book reviews to
religious magazines and journals,
and is co-author of “The Celebra
tion of the Gospel.”
The speaker received an hon
orary doctor of divinity degree
from Southwestern University in
1962.
Participants from over the
state will establish maintenance
requirements, project A&M re
search information and available
resources and hold discussion
groups with those having similar
vegetation control problems.
The program is jointly spon
sored by the Texas Agricultural
Experiment Station and Texas
Transportation Institute.
John Mobley, Kilgore contract
ing service owner, will give the
keynote address. TABS person

maintenance they insist on,” Mc
Cully added. Roundtable discus

tists describing vegetation control
herbicides are scheduled in the
Memorial Student Center.
Pre-registration will be held to
