All students not signed up for
room reservations by April 28 will
compete against students not
presently enrolled beginning May
1 according to Allen M. Madeley,
housing manager.
Preference will be given to
Iraduate, Foreign, and veterinary
ledicine students in dorm 22,

of dormitory 20.
“Seniors or juniors wishing to
hove into corner rooms must pre
sent a room change from the
housemaster of the dorm before
reserving the room,” Madeley
said.

ers program. He consulted with
vehicle design seniors on proposal
preparation.
Professor Charles Rodenberger
utilizes numerous industrial rep
resentatives as consultants and
judges in the course.
“We try to assimilate the stu
dent’s academic training and
bring it to bear on design prob
lems related to current aerospace
industry problems,” Rodenberger
said.
The Halliburton Professor of
Engineering said A&M aerospace
engineering majors will make
personal contact with 10 to 15
professional engineers in their
four years academic work.
Rodenberger assisted in de
veloping a Visiting Engineers
Program in cooperation with the
Engineering Graphics Depart
ment. Freshmen in graphics and
descriptive geometry delve into
the profession’s practical side
with design problems, solutions
and oral, graphic or written
presentation.
“These programs tie the stu
dent into the real life of the en
gineer,” the professor stated.
Sullins, staff member of the
chief structures engineer, is an
A&M graduate. He received his
bachelor of civil engineering at
Aggieland in 1943. Sullins studied
for his masters in mechanical
engineering at Southern Meth
odist.
The engineer is assigned to the
basic subsystems module study at
GD/Convair. Earlier, he was
responsible for support and fol
low-up on several advanced de
sign studies.
In 20 years of aircraft and
space vehicle structures analysis
and development, Sullins was
leadman, structures group engi
neer, and in charges of structures
research and analytical methods
at the Fort Worth Division.
Burgess To Give
Talk At Houston
Dr. Leonard R. Burgess, asso
ciate professor in Texas A&M’s
School of Business Administra
tion, will give an address Friday
at Texas Southern University in
Houston.
Burgess will discuss “Fringe
Benefits: Their Role in a Dy
namic Economy” during the an
nual meeting of the Association
of Social Science Teachers.
Ohio Administrator Outlines Foreign Affairs
An administrator from Denison
University of Ohio outlined a
three-point program to better un
derstanding of foreign affairs in
a YMCA sponsored Apollo Club
lecture here Thursday.
David Gibbons, executive secre
tary of the Denison YMCA, said
college students should study in
ternational situations, seek em
pathy with foreign observers,
and familiarize themselves with
“change agent” methods in order
to do something about the world
situation.
“Only a small minority of A-
mericans are really aware of
world affairs,” he told the stu
dents. “In general, the public is
not only uneducated, but unedu-
cable.”
As evidence of the problem,
Gibbons cited a recent study of
graduates of leading Eastern uni
versities, 25 years after their
graduation. He said that aside
from members of the foreign
service, fewer than one per cent
of the graduates had read even
one book on international rela
tions in those 25 years.
“Aside from periods of world
war, the only times the American
public became genuinely concern
ed over world affairs were during
the 1962 missile crisis and in
1957, when Sputnik I was launch
ed,” he added. “The question be
fore World War II was not what
we should do about the world
situation, but whether we should
do anything at all.”
Gibbons said part of the prob
lem arises from news coverage.
“Headlines are basically slo
gans, meant to sell papers and not
to inform the public,” he said.
“Unfortunately, this is all many
people get in the way of news.
“Another factor is managed
news. There are many cases in
which important news is with
held until the proper time for re
lease, and we can’t always depend
on ‘news leaks’ to give a better
perspective,” Gibbons went on.
One outgrowth of this lack of
proper education in international
situations, he asserted, is a gen
eral overestimation of the power
of ideology in politics.
“When Russia sent tanks into
Hungary, the act was called ‘Com
munist aggression,’ ” he remarked.
‘When U. S. troops entered the
Dominican Republic, the Com
munists screamed ‘capitalist im
perialism.’ How relevant by
ideology, then, to such actions ?
Countries are prompted to act
not by slogans, but by the mo
tive of furthering their own in-
Public Schools
Educational Film
Continues Series
Public school student control
and discipline in relation to the
law will be brought out in the
third of a series of educational
films Thursday in the Education
and Psychology Department at
Texas A&M.
“Legal Control and Discipline
of Public School Pupils” will be
screened at 3 p.m. in Room 402
of the Academic Building, an
nounced George Franklin of the
department’s Educational Media
Laboratory.
The film, a discussion by
Robert R. Hamilton, dean emer
itus of the University of Wyom
ing, includes cases involving
pupil conduct after school, stu
dent marriages and authority of
school boards in relation to court
decisions.
“The film includes national
court issues that will generally
apply anywhere,” Franklin dis
closed.
The free public showing should
be of special interest to faculty
and students in A&M teacher edu
cation departments, notes Educa
tion and Psychology Head Dr.
Paul Hensarling.

terests.”
Gibbons urged study of for
eign affairs through projects
such as A&M’s Student Confer
ence on National Affairs and the
Denison “field trip” program in
which students visit the United
Nations headquarters, government
branches in Washington, D.C., and
sites of “foreign cultures” such
as Puerto Rico, after researching
the important issues of each sit
uation and preparing questions.
As the second step toward bet
ter reaction to world problems.
Gibbons stressed the importance
of “empathizing” with people of
other countries.
“We all know what Americans
think about America,” he explain
ed, “but how do others view us?
By getting to see their cultures
from the inside, through pro
grams such as the peace corps
and the Experiment in Interna
tional Living, we can gain a whole
new perspective on world affairs.”
Gibbon said A&M has a great
opportunity for such education in
that some 700 foreign students
live on the campus, but noted that
“if you’re like every other school
with that opportunity, you miss
out on it by allowing the inter
national students to become ghet
toized — set apart from the re
mainder of the students.”
He distinguished between act
ually living with foreigners in
their own lands and merely travel
ing through the countries.
“Travel isn’t necessarily broad
ening,” he explained, “and in
many cases it serves only to re
confirm prejudices.”
Finally, Gibbon said, college
students need to be aware of
“change agents” — the pressure
groups who “specialize in getting
things done,” through letter-writ
ing campaigns and other exam
ples of “pressure politics.”
