Arts Committee Announces Former sttideni
Meeting For Film Series
Hugh Philp Dies
Darrell Campbell, chairman of
the Contemporary Arts Commit
tee announced a meeting of the
committee to be held at 7:30 p.m.
on Monday in the Birch Room of
the MSC.
Campbell said that all interest
ed persons are invited to attend
the meeting and should go by the
Student Programs Office to give
their r.s.v.p.
“The committee is especially
interested in recruiting persons
who have seen or participated in
film series at other universities,
museums, or art centers,” Camp
bell said.

“It was hard to do at first!
In discussing the program
Campbell said that the purpose
of the meeting is to select fine
international and classical films
for a Film Series to be shown
for the fall and spring semesters
of next year.
“A&M is one of the few uni
versities without a Film Series,”
remarked Campbell. “A&M stu
dents are now seeing many mov
ies courtesy of local theaters and
t.v., but the challenge of the Con
temporary Arts Committee is to
present fine international and
classical films ordinarily not
shown in these other settings.”
After The Degree Comes:
‘A-l? Sorry, No Jobs Open’
Nowlin Leaves
For Navy Post
The University degree with all the “honors and privi-
leg'es” it affords cannot, unfortunately, solve all problems.
At least, recent male graduates are having their share
of troubles as they join the throngs of the United States
working force.
To many, there appear to be only two solutions — join
the armed forces branch of their choice or wait, twiddling
their thumbs till their local Selective Service boards come
calling.
For while Uncle Sam wants the bright young men,
few prospective employers are willing to “risk” a man who
doesn’t have his military obligations behind him.
Many, therefore, find themselves between that prover
bial rock and a hard place.
Though the necessity of a strong military system is
unchallenged, it is indeed a regrettable fact that these new
University graduates are left in such a state of limbo.
Though the position of the prospective employer is cer
tainly understandable (i.e. he doesn’t have time to waste re
training men every three months; he wants permanent help
now), it can be pretty disheartening for the new graduate
to find that his diploma — the so called key to golden op
portunity — doesn’t fit the lock for immediate and necessary
employment. —The Summer Texan
Dr. Worth Nowlin, assistant
professor of oceanography at
Texas A&M, will join the ocean
ographic branch of the Office of
Naval Research on a year’s leave
of absence, effective Sept. 1.
Oceanography Head Dr. Rich
ard A. Geyer said Nowlin will
be involved in reviewing oceano
graphic research programs
throughout the country.
“Dr. Nowlin will also continue
his own research in physical
oceanography,” Geyer added.
The A&M professor will op
erate from the Washington, D. C.,
ONR office under Fennen Jen
nings, branch programs director,
and visit Scripps, Woods Hole,
Lament Geological Observatory,
Miami, University of Washington
and Oregon State oceanography
institutions.

B-CS Jaycees Wage War
On VD In Brazos County
By BERT DUERER
Battalion Special Writer
Action is being taken by the
Bryan-College Station Jaycees to
combat the alarming growth of
venereal disease in Brazos Coun
ty.
After learning of the problem
from the Brazos County Health
Department in January, the Jay
cees took immediate action to
initiate a public information pro
gram on the dangers, causes and
prevention of VD.
Led by project chairman Jim
Raatz, the Jaycees scheduled
meetings with Parent-Teacher
Associations, the Bryan and Col
lege Station school boards, the
Ministerial Society, educators
and other interested community
organizations, to determine a
plan of action.
“Our biggest need is a pro
gram of awareness in the
schools, churches, medical serv
ices, and news media,” Raatz
said. “This cannot be a single
effort. It must be continuous to
accomplish its purpose. Preven
tion is our primary hope for de
feating the long range problem.”
The Jaycee program began by
focusing on VD among teenagers.
The committee works with and
supplements the recently reor
ganized Health Education Pro
gram of the Bryan Public
Schools. The program begins by
alerting fifth and sixth grade
students to the physical changes
of puberty. Beginning in the sev
enth grade students are present
ed with facts of personal hy
giene, health and communicable
diseases.
Raatz predicts future coeduca
tional classroom study to pre
pare teenagers for the problems
of marriage and family life, and
feels that preparing for the next
generation is the “most impor
tant single step in the eradica
tion of veneral diseases.”
Frank Brewer, president of B-
CS Jaycees, and Raatz appeared
on a local television program in
April for their first contact with
the general public with the proj
ect.
“Provoking parental interest
and support is our biggest prob
lem,” said Raatz. “Parents need
to set examples, press for meet
ings of the PTZ on the VD prob
lem, and most important, explain
it to their children.”
10,000 printed by the Jaycees
presenting the problem in the lo
cal community.
Distribution of the pamphlets
is made by local groups and the
Jaycees. Some were placed on
automobile windshields in major
shopping centers. Others were
mailed to those who wrote or
called to request them.
Raatz reports that after six
months of the Jaycee project
there has been an increase in the
number of people reporting to
medical authorities for check-ups
and treatments.
The Jaycees have allocated
$200 for the VD project, and
spent about $75 of this in the
first six months. Most of the $75
was spent on cardboard ash trays
printed with information about
VD, and the telephone number of
the County Health Unit. These
are being distributed through the
County Health Department to lo
cal cafeterias, pool rooms, and
lounges. Their presence is “be
ginning to show results,” Raatz
said.
In 1966, Brazos County had
more than 650 cases of VD re
ported, and county health serv
ices spent more than $10,000 for
treatment of VD. It is estimated
that this is only 20 percent of the
total number of cases.
Raatz said that the progress
since the start of the project has
been “slow but far from disap
pointing,” and he sees a signifi
cant future decrease in the
amount of our tax money spent
on drugs to fight VD.
At The Grove
A large part of the Jaycee
project is the printing and dis
tribution of pamphlets which
alert the public to the problem,
and provide facts about the caus
es and treatment.
More than 15,000 pamphlets
have been distributed so far—
5,000 furnished by the State
Health Department, and another
