ER ne (Mi le Salad, Sauce, 99c Student Trys To Stay Cool Working Near Waterfall NE Slum -B JE \ ) A Texas A&M graduate stu dent in wildlife science is doing summer research near the state’s tallest waterfall, but he finds it hard to keep cool. Harry M. Ohlendorf of Lock hart is collecting plants and ani mals in a lush valley 70 miles north of Presidio, which often has the rueful distinction of being the hottest place in the nation. ‘Tve logged temperatures up to 109 degrees,” Ohlendorf reports. “But it doesn’t seem as hot there as in College Station because of the difference in humidity.” The waterfall, 185 feet high at the head of a canyon along Ca pote Creek, spills considerably less water downstream than Niagara Falls. The creek itself is about a yard wide. “Trees along the creek provide a suitable habitat for a great variety of animals,” Ohlendorf noted. “Pve collected about 150 plants and 200 animals since June.” Birds account for most of the 26-year-old student’s catches. One of his rarest catches, however, is a Western Mastiff Bat. Oddly enough, he has notched only two rattlesnakes for the summer. NEW SIGNS GO UP ■ Pictured above is one of the new signs being placed outside several of the main buildings on campus. Each sign lists the offices housed in the building at which they are placed. Comptroller Presents Library Of Works To A&M Department The complete professional li brary on school finance and busi ness management of Frank D. Austin has been presented by the Centenary College comptroller to Texas A&M. Presentation of the private col lection of documents, letters, pamphlets, hard and paperback books and a two-volume set of “Business Manager Procedure” was to the Education and Psy chology Department, headed by Dr. Paul Hensarling. Austin, 63, was business man ager of Port Arthur schools when Hensarling taught, coached and served as elementary principal and assistant superintendent there. “I know Paul and A&M will use and appreciate the material,” the Shreveport school official said in making the presentation. Hensarling said the collection of 23 years will be shelved in the department’s professional library. A research project on the history of school business management is planned with the Austin collec tion as the primary source, he added. “Frank pioneered upgrading of school business officials certifi cation,” the department head went on.

I was lucky to get him without getting sprayed.” “Biggest challenge of the re search is to get to all parts of the canyon often enough to find everything that is in it,” he con tinued. “It’s rugged country. Goats can’t go through some of it.” Home for the summer to Ohlen dorf is a goat herder’s shack. Ohlendorf made it slightly more livable by screening windows with hardware cloth and nailing the roof down so it wouldn’t blow away. The canyon itself is about one and one-half miles long and three- quarters of a mile wide. “Most people who come by to see the waterfall don’t expect to see anybody living in the val ley,” Ohlendorf explained. “The place is about three miles away from a ranch.” Ohlendorf, who aspires to teach biology at the university level, toils up to 18 hours a day cover ing the canyon, moving traps, set ting up nets to nab birds and bats, and collecting plants. Visitors to the canyon are few and far between. Ohlendorf’s wife, Colette, spent a week. Four cats and the family dog, Volga, stayed 10 days. The heat, long working hours and eating out of cans have left Ohlendorf 28 pounds lighter. Nat urally, he anxious to get home to enjoy his wife’s cooking. In the meantime, he’s living it up by shaving and showering only when he makes weekly for ays into town for groceries and laundry. A big outing for Ohlendorf is drive over to a neighboring ranch to visit and watch television. He’s looking forward to trying a na tive delicacy next week—straw berry cactus, which reportedly tastes surprisingly like straw berries. Clipper Returns With Aggie Crew GALVESTON — The Texas Clipper, Texas A&M’s “floating classroom,” and its salty crew of 155 students return here Mon day, completing an 11,400-mile South American cruise. Scores of relatives and friends will be waiting at the dock to welcome home the sea-faring stu dents and hear tales of visits to foreign ports, equator-crossing initiation ceremonies and a rescue at sea. For more than two months, the students have been operating the 15,000-ton converted oceanliner under the general supervision of Texas Maritime Academy instruc tors. Approximately half the stu dents are recent high school grad uates and college freshmen en rolled in Texas A&M’s unique “Summer School at Sea” pro gram. These students have been taking basic English, history or mathematics courses for which they receive academic credit. The “Summer School at Sea” program is jointly sponsored by the university’s College of Lib eral Arts and the Texas Maritime Academy, a division of the Texas A&M system. Remainder of the students are TMA cadets participating in their annual summer cruise, part of their special four-year college course leading to a B.S. degree in marine engineering or marine transportation. Destination for this year’s cruise was Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where the students spent six days ashore. They also visited Port of Spain, Trinidad; Recife, Brazil, and Willemstad, Curacao. This year’s cruise included a rescue-at-sea operation. While steaming for Rio after the Trini dad visit, the Clipper received an emergency message to divert course, rendezvous with the Greek freighter, Albino, and give medi cal aid to its captain who had cut his hand.

Industries, hospitals, police stations, fire stations, churches . . . yes, churches! Oh, you may drive past one at three in the morning and find the building dark, but the Church is not asleep! For the Church sets the moral tone of our society and with out the concern that the Church injects into our community there would be no hospitals, nor homes for children and the aged, nor even police and fire stations. It was only after people learned to care about each other that they began to provide these services, and His Church has always cared: "As I have loved you, love one another." Every minute of every day and night, compassionate hands ore reaching out to someone in need because the Church is awake to that need. The Church is made up of people. When you become o part of a church, you have contributed to the continuity of its work which has sustained and refreshed humanity through the centuries. Also, you are helping to perpetuate and strengthen your own faith. \rnr- ,v>.
