(Batt Staff Photo) 12 Dorms Receive Fall Face-Lifting t New furnishings valued at al most a half-million dollars will be installed in 12 renovated dorm itories at Texas A&M University this fall. The $496,921.60 in furniture will go in east campus Dorms 1-12, which are currently being renovated. The dozen dorms and Duncan Dining Hall are newly air-conditioned, for students who begin registering Sept. 13-14. Seven of the buildings will soon be repainted as part of a renova tions program originally sched uled for the summer of 1968, noted Physical Plants Manager Howard Badgett. Wesley E. Donaldson, Purchas ing and Stores Department direc tor, said each room in the Dun can Dining Hall dorm area will be equipped with a new double deck bunk bed, two new mat tresses, two upholstered study chairs, two single pedestal study desks and a six-drawer chest of drawers to be shared by the room’s two occupants. “The desk is unlike anything we have at A&M,” Donaldson ex plained. “It has a laminated plas tic top with simulated wood grain.” He said furniture installation has been complicated by painting and air - conditioning contract work. New equipment will arrive and be installed after Oct. 1. Bids are being taken for four other items per room, Badgett said. A storage cabinet for additional shelving, new ceiling light fix ture, cork-covered tack boards and double book shelf space are to be added in each room. “Due to advance renovations, work to be done next year in the 12 dorms will include only instal lation of resilient flooring and telephone conduit,” Badgett ex plained. He said six new lounges—one to each pair of buildings—will be constructed and existing lounges in five dorms will be converted to rooms. Donaldson noted that some furniture being removed from the east dorms will be used in older dorms. Five hundred desks with book cases built in will be trans ferred to non-air conditioned dorms. He said some bunk beds will be retained for use elsewhere. The 1967 renovations and re furbishing will provide 22 air- conditioned and 21 redecorated dorms. Campus Awaits Heavy Traffic Campus Security officials at Texas A&M are making special arrangements to handle the heavy influx of campus traffic Sept. 14- 16, when approximately 12,500 students register for the fall semester and throngs of visitors pour in for the Aggie-SMU foot ball game. The 3:30 p.m. Sept. 16 game is the only major college contest in the state that weekend. Security Chief Ed Powell said several special traffic control measures will be in effect. He indicated that regular campus and College Station police forces will be assisted by 30 aux iliary police and a half dozen off- duty Bryan city police officers. Powell pointed out college regu lations require students to remove cars from FM 2154, Law, Guion, Coliseum and Wellborn parking lots by 10 a.m. on home football game days. Powell noted that vehicles moved north of Ross Street may be used to drive par ents or dates to the game. He said the Texas Transporta tion Institute and radio-equipped airborne observers will also help the Sept. 16 traffic flow. TTI is working out on-campus traffic flow charts. . “I expect football traffic to move faster than ever before,” Powell commented. “The over pass at FM 60 and 2154 will re lieve a congestion point and two routes to Bryan are provided in Finfeather Road and Old College. “It is my opinion that Jersey Street construction will be far enough along that it will bear considerable traffic,” he said. First In Seven Is Poet Ciardi WHAT’S AN AGGIE FAN TO DO? Due to the wide variety of bumper stickers backing the Aggies’ hopes for the upcoming football season, Cindy Conway of Bryan had to add an extra rear bumper to a small for eign car to get one of the latest stickers into place.

House of Representatives Subcommittee on Manned Space Flight and the ranking majority member of the overall Committee on Scence and Astronautics. He also is chairman of the Commit tee on Veterans Affairs and the Subcommittee on Legislative Oversight. “We feel it most appropriate to name this unique facility the Olin E. Teague Research Center as a tribute to this man who has done so much for his country, state, community and alma ma ter,” Heldenfels stated. The de cision to name the complex in honor of the congressman was approved at a recent meeting of the board. One wing of A&M’s new center is devoted to space research, with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration providing a $1 million grant to assist in its construction. NASA also is help ing finance several of the space- related projects being conducted there. A second wing houses the uni versity’s highly sophisticated computer facilities and the Insti tute of Statistics. A&M currently operates one of the most advanced data processing systems in the nation and later this year will incorporate an IBM 360/65, a powerful third-generation com puter.

While a student at A&M, Con gressman Teague was active in the Corps of Cadets. He was commissioned into the Army in 1932 and served as an infantry battalion commander in Europe during World War II.

Teague was discharged as a colonel in 1946. He was elected to the 79th Congress and has been renamed to each succeeding Con gress. He is married to the former Miss Freddie Dunman of Fort Worth.

Made- ley. “Because of occupation of many dormitories by the American In stitute of Biological Sciences con ference, renovations in others, and considerable furniture moving be tween areas during the period be tween terms,” he said, “summer students will not be able to move their belongings to their fall rooms at the end of summer school.” However, students living in dormitories 22 and ramps E, F, G, and H of Walton Hall or who will be in these areas in the fall may move their belongings into their fall rooms. “Such students will verify their room assignments at the Hous ing Office when they exchange keys,” Madeley said. “Students now living in their fall rooms in these areas may leave their be longings where they are, if they are positive that it is their as signment for fall.” All other students living in summer school dormitories must vacate their rooms of all belong ings and clear the dormitories by 6 p.m. Friday, August 25. “Those students who must move their things, but do not wish to carry them home,” he said, “may store them with the Agronomy Society in the basement of dorm three.” Madeley said that in order to protect student property, all dormitories, except Dorm 22 and those ramps in Walton, will be locked at 6 p.m. Aug. 25. He explained that students who wish to remain on campus during the break between semesters may make arrangements to live in their fall rooms in Dorm 22 or Walton. Rent for this period is $18 for Dorm 22 and $12 for Walton and may be paid at the Fiscal Office and must be checked by the Housing Office. “All other students requiring accommodations between terms should report to the Housing Of fice for a between-term assign ment in Walton,’ ’he said. “These arrangements must be made by 5 p.m. Aug. 25.” Banner, NBC and Readers Digest.
