A&M Sponsors Horse Course
CADETS SWAP OLD FOR NEW
Corps students have until Tuesday to turn in khaki uniforms and old style military blouses
to the Military Property Custodian. Cadets will be issued a new blouse, set of pinks, one
each long and short sleeve 1193 polyester shirts, and a pair of 1193 trousers.
The Seventh Annual Horse
Short Course, sponsored by Texas
A&M University, will be held
November 10-12 at Texas A&M,
announced B. F. Yates, Extension
animal husbandman and coordin
ator of the course.
The program is designed to be
of interest to all horse owners.
A polo game will highlight the
program on November 12, Yates
said.
The short course will be cen
tered at the Ramada Inn in Col
lege Station and visits and demon
strations will be held at the
Animal Science and Veterinary
Medicine facilities at Texas A&M.
The program on November 11
will consist of lectures on equine
nutrition, genetics and health and
panel discussions on the problems
involved in hauling horses, recre
ational opportunities with horses
and marketing problems. There
will also be demonstrations and
discussions on the activities of
various groups and breed associ
ations in Texas.
Expected demonstrations are
to be on basic horsemanships,
cutting horses, early handling
and training of race horses, and
types of polo equipment. Also
demonstrations on Paint Horse
pleasure class, Palomino horse
pairs class and Shetland ponies

Forestry Official Discusses
Parks Department Problems
Take a beautiful lake setting
and add fishermen, bird watchers,
students of nature, swimmers and
water skiers, and what do you
usually get? Trouble!
Walter S. Hopkins, chief of the
U. S. Forest Service’s Forest
Recreation Research in Washing
ton, D. C., said here Tuesday
afternoon that the trouble stems
from standardized recreation
areas and campgrounds and the
tendency to lump people into one
category.
The forestry official was one of
the main speakers during the two-
week Recreation Management In
stitute (Sept. 24-Oct. 6) at Texas
A&M University. A&M’s Recre
ation and Parks Department is
conducting the meetings.
The notion that most people
behave similarly in recreation
areas has led to standard facili
ties, standard campgrounds with
standard spacings and standard
designs—“and this may not be the
way to do it,” Hopkins said.
Campers, he explained, tend to
segregate themselves into activity
groups, such at fishing, nature
study, swimming or water skiing.
Requirements of one group sel
dom jibe with the others, and the
situation can create hard feelings
toward the area administrator.
Nature people want wide spac
ing and transquility, water skiers
like lots of company and bustle.
What happens ? The skiers com
plain about launching facilities,
and the swimmers, fishermen and
the nature study group squawk
about the noise, danger and con
fusion caused by the motor boats.
“And the poor forest land man
ager who has provided a standard
campground to sery* all these
groups is still looking for a
friend,” Hopkins said. “Seldom
are campgrounds specifically
planned for the activities to which
they are host.”
Designing recreation areas to
meet specialized needs should help
reduce the conflicts. Carrying out
such an arrangement won’t be
easy, but “some serious thought
and study in this area should pay
big dividends,” the speaker said.
Institute Director Kenneth
Butts of the A&M Recreation and
Parks Department said the pur
pose of the meetings is to give
recreation managers and tech
nical specialists an updating of
recreation knowledge, concepts
and skills.
He said the conference is the
first of its kind in the United
States and involves eight federal
agencies and personnel from local
and state park departments.
A demand is developing in the
fledgling nuclear power industry
for less specialized personnel to
handle operational and manageri
al functions, notes Dr. Robert
Cochran, head of Texas A&M’s
Nuclear Engineering Department.
A&M is helping meet this de
mand by offering an undergradu
ate program in nuclear engineer
ing, the first in Texas and sur
rounding states and one of only
a few in the entire nation.
The undergraduate program,
now beginning its second year,
already has attracted 42 students,
including 17 freshmen.
Pointing out that Texas A&M
initiated graduate programs in
nuclear engineering in 1959, Dr.
Cochran says the need up until
now has been for highly special
ized personnel for research and
development.
NOW, HOWEVER, as the in
dustry matures and branches out
into commercial aspects, there are
definite requirements for many
persons who are less specialized
but still highly trained.
Needs of the industry already
have reached the point, Cochran
notes, that some firms have es
tablished their own nuclear train
ing programs, varying in length
from nine to 12 months, and are
converting mechanical and elec
trical engineers.
Industry needs include men
who can install, operate and
maintain the nuclear reactors
which are being developed by
the researchers, emphasizes the
former Oak Ridge nuclear Phys
icist and group leader. He pre
dicts there also will be an in
creased demand in the industry
AN OPEN LETTER!
Hello Aggies-
Welcome back home Aggies! We have missed you.
Well another school year is beginning and it is our hope you
do well in all of your endeavors and that you accomplish all of
your undertakings.
When you find time for recreation we hope you will visit us
and renew old acquaintances. You know we are open 7 days a
week ‘til midnight and you’ll always find some of your friends
here.
We’ve added a brand new 5x10 Carom table to our center
and this now gives us 2 - 5x10 pocket tables, 2 - 5x10 snooker
tables, 2 - 414x9 ft. pocket tables, 14 - 4x8 pocket tables, 9 of
the latest pin ball machines, Toosball table (the new sensation
form coast to coast and a new bumper table. We also have a
new supply of jointed cue Sticks from $9.95 to $95.00.
Let’s all join forces and pull a little harder and help put
the Aggies back to NUMBER ONE in 1967. It can be done!

P.S. “The girls are still playing here!”
for sales engineers and persons
engaged in administrative activ
ities.
A PERSON with a B.S. degree
in nuclear engineering can fill
these positions, Dr. Cochran con
tends.
While no special prerequisites
are required for undergraduate
students, they must meet the
general academic standards set
by the College of Engineering.
Most of the students have a solid
background in mathematics and
science.
“We require a minimum 17
hours in nuclear engineering, al
lowing 12 elective hours for a
major,” Dr. Cochran notes. “Many
students take problems courses
as electives. Others lean toward
business, psychology, mathemat
ics and physics.”
The nuclear power industry is
an exciting engineering field of
the future, he concludes.
