Rudder Predicts
Housing Shortage
Texas A&M President Earl
Rudder says community backing
such as the university has experi
enced in the last 10 years will
assist in A&M’s future growth.
He tied together Bryan, College
Station and A&M through hous
ing, community improvement and
other areas in discussing “Texas
A&M in 1976” at a Brazos County
A&M Club meeting Monday.
“One of the great heeds for
A&M’s continued growth is hous
ing,” the A&M president said.
“We couldn’t take care of 20 more
graduate students now.”
Rudder forecast a 20,000-stu
dent enrollment in 1976 and hous
ing as the chief problem.
“Until 1960, A&M’s capital ex
penditures was $60 million. To
day, it’s $100 million and an
additional $25 million is in build
ing at present. In the next few
years, the expenditure figure will
increase $25 to $40 million for
housing and laboratories,” he
added.
Rudder said the present need is
new apartment units.
Geyer Attends
Paris Meeting
He cited dormitory construc
tion and renovation, the Board
of Directors’ views toward at
tracting top scholars, the type of
student presently enrolled, grad
uate student research funding
and continued industrial support
“if colleges and universities make
the educational dollar buy more.”
“It’s going to be difficult for
our communities to assimilate
20,000 students,” Rudder stated.
“It can be done with a wide
awake, entreprenuring, growing
attitude the cities have had in the
last 10 years. To get good faculty
members for our students it will
take good churches, good schools
and good roads.”
“The legislature will support
us, I believe, if we do a good job,”
Rudder went on.
The club recognized Mrs. Hoy
A. Richards for College Station
and campus work as the A&M
Development Fund drive chair
man of 1967. Club president Ed
Cooper presented a citation
awarded by the Association of
Former Students.
Club board member Bob Roepke
introduced four A&M students
from Brazos County on club
scholarships — Willie Milberger,
George Williams and Dennis Ca
hill, all of Bryan and David Alex
ander of Wellborn.
Dr. Richai'd A. Geyer, head of
the Oceanography Department,
recently attended a meeting of
the Intergovernmental Oceano
graphic Commission at Unesco in
Paris.
This fifth meeting of the IOC,
Oct. 21-28, was attended by 58 na
tions. Each submitted plans for
expeditions in 1970, one of which
is scheduled for the Caribbean
and will extend into the Gulf of
Mexico.
Emphasis of the expedition is
on synoptic oceanographic studies
of different poi-tions of the ocean.
Also representing Texas A&M
was Dr. Luis A. Capurro, presi
dent of an affiliated group,
SCOR, the Scientific Committee
for Oceanographic Research.
Other matters brought up were
ocean data stations, - group com
munications, marine pollution,
and law of the sea.

AUSTIN (A 1 )—Industry spokes
men and one city official sought
Tuesday to loosen up proposed
air control regulations. A law
maker and 5,112 Harris County
residents claimed industries al
ready are violating a regulation
that went into effect in June.
The residents’ names were on
petitions submitted by Rep. Rex
Braun, Houston, at a Texas Air
Control Board meeting on revi
sions of earlier regulations and
three new proposals.
Braun said that he and a few
friends and neighbors “decided
that petitions by citizens might be
the spur needed to have you send
your staff to that part of Harris
County—the northeast area, and
the entire area including Pasa
dena and Galena Park along the
Houston ship channel—which has
for many, many years had a con
stant, day and night, 365 days
each year, air pollution problem
of menacing proportions.”
THE PETITIONS asked the
board to investigate and take
court action against industries
along the channel that are violat
ing the board’s rule No. 1, regu
lating smoke and particles in the
air, and to take legal action to
stop open dump disposal of trash
and garbage in Harris County.
“There are flagrant and wide
spread violations” of rule No. 1,
said Dr. John W. Nichols, city
health officer for Galena Park,
and he added that sulphur fumes
are so bad they are “defoliating
our trees, discoloring the paint
ing of our homes, rusting iron
work and jeopardizing the health
of our citizens.”
“WHEN THE winds were from
the south,” he said in a letter,
“the incidence of bronchitis and
allied respiratory disorders in
creased more than five-fold.”
The board hearing primarily
was on revision of the smoke-
particle regulation and proposals
to control outdoor burning, sul
phur compounds and motor ve
hicle exhausts.
Objections, for the most part,
centered on air standards for sul
phur dioxide and a portion of the
outdoor burning regulation on
hydrocarbon wastes, which states:
“The location of the burning
must be outside a defined stand
ard metropolitan statistical area
(SMSA).”
THE OUTDOOR proposal “may
be well advised in some locales,
but in the SMSA’s of Ector, Lub
bock, Midland and Tom Green
this order can only create undue
hardship and expense,” said Rus
sell J. Ransland, president of the
Permian Basin Petroleum Asso
ciation.
R. John Catlett of the West
Central Texas Oil and Gas Asso
ciation said, “This county-wide
condition would automatically
outlaw the burning on hydro
carbon waste products, even in
isolated areas in Taylor, Jones
and Tom Green counties.” The
association asked the board to
strike the proposal.
THE TEXAS Manufacturers
Association said the proposal
“would eliminate all burning in
any county of the Upper Gulf
Coast with the exception of
Chambers County.”
Roland Gouldy, executive vice
president of North Texas Oil and
Gas Association, said the pro
posal is, “in our opinion, unrea
sonable and unnecessary. In
North Texas we have one such
area, the Wichita Falls SMSA
which includes all of Wichita
County and all of Archer county.”
U. S., European Nations Agree
To Halt N-Weapons Spread
By PHILIPPE NEURAY
Associated Press Writer
BRUSSELS, Belgium <A>) — The
United States and the Common
Market countries except France
agreed Tuesday on terms of a
treaty to halt the spread of
nuclear weapons.
Harlan Cleveland, U. S. repre
sentative to the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization, announced
U. S.-Soviet negotiations on the
treaty would resume in Geneva.
The Geneva talks have been
stalled on the terms in inspec
tion in a treaty designed to
prevent acquisition of nuclear
weapons by countries that do not
have them.
The Agreement reported by
Atlantic Alliance sources removes
one obstacle to the treaty. But
the United States must now go
to Geneva and try to gain Soviet
acceptance of the principles pro
posed by the five members of
Euratom—the European Atomic
Energy Commission.
France is also a member of
Euratom, but President Charles
de Gaulle wants no part of the
nuclear treaty and France has
said it will refuse to sign. De
Gaulle sees the treaty as a sym
bol of what he calls “the hegem
ony of the superpowers.”
The agreement was reached at
the weekly meeting of the NATO
Permanent Council. The five
countries are West Germany,
Italy, Belgium, Holland and Lux
embourg.
The five European members
agreed on the following condi
tions, according to an official
German source:
1. Controls, must be restricted
to fissionable materials and must
not include nuclear research or
construction or the operation of
nuclear reactors.
2. There must be a treaty be
tween Euratom and the IAEA.
3. The effectiveness of Eura
tom controls must be recognized
in the treaty. The IAEA must
not be given control powers over
Euratom.
4. The supply of fissionable
material to all Euratom countries,
including France, must not be
endangered.
5. The recognition of Euratom
controls must not have a time
limit.

DA NANG, Vietnam. (A*)_Fly-
ing a quarter of a mile high be
tween the range of Communist
machine guns and missiles. Vice
President Hubert H. Humphrey
surveyed the U. S. Marines’ bat
tleground along the demilitarized
zone today. From his lumbering
transport plane, he saw U. S.
artillery hammering Red posi
tions.
As the vice president’s slow-
flying Cl18 droned over the
scarred terrain where 10,000 Ma
rines have been wounded or killed
this year, Humphrey said: “I saw
the firing of cannons, and I could
see a destroyer offshore.”
Marine F4 Phantom and 46
Intruder jets flew cover above i
the transport while it traveled at
1,500 feet, out of range of ma
chine guns and automatic weap
ons and below the 3,000-foot level
at which planes become vulner
able to Communist missiles that
may be positioned just north of
the zone. U. S. headquarters re
ported today that a squadron of
Phantoms attacked a suspected
missile site just north of the
DMZ Tuesday.
Humphrey, dressed in light blue
slacks and a sports shirt, suggest
ed landing at Dong Ha, the Ma
rine base 17 miles south of the
DMZ, so he could “take a little
helicopter ride north.”
“You’re kidding, sir,” one of
the Secret Service men replied.
The Marines had made elaborate
preparations in case the vice
president’s plane went down. Four
H3 helicopters, two helicopter
gunships and an infantry force
were on the alert at Dong Ha.
Humphrey ended his visit to
South Vietnam for the inaugura
tion of President Nguyen Van
Thieu with a visit to the Marines
at Da Nang before flying to the
Malaysian capital of Kuala
Lumpur.
He told the Marines Americans
must be “patient with ourselves
and patient with our allies.”
In a broadcast earlier from
Saigon, Humphrey told U. S. per
sonnel in Vietnam not to be
“distracted by the so-called voices
of dissent” at home. “By and
large,” he said, Americans support
their government’s actions in
Vietnam.
American sources said Hum
phrey was highly pleased with
his talks with President Thieu
and Vice President Nguyen Cao
Ky.
Oceanography
Group Formed
Transport Sought
For 1967 Bonfire
Any persons who can supply
trucks or pickups for Bonfire
have been asked to meet at
7:30 p.m. Wednesday in Room
103 of the Military Science
Building, Bonfire transporta
tion committee chairman Jim
Callahan has announced.
“This is a very important
meeting,” Callahan noted.
“With the first Bonfire work
weekend coming up in just 10
days, we need an estimate of
the amount of transportation
available.”
A Bryan-College Station chap
ter of the American Society for
Oceanography was formed Tues
day by the communities’ civic and
business leaders.
The society, an organization of
1,700 members including business
man, economists, lawyers, teach
ers and students, was formed in
1965 to spread knowledge and
focus attention on oceanography
and its problems in non-oceano-
graphic areas.
“The problems may seem dis
tant, but they are coming closer
and closer,” noted Dr. Richaz-d A.
Geyer, Oceanography Department
head at Texas A&M.
THE VICE chairman of the
President’s Commission on Ma
rine Science, Engineering and
Resources said the world’s oceans
have become a source of food,
fresh water, raw materials and
recreation and have a profound
effect on the atmosphere and
weather.
“The sea is a part of our en
vironment,” he added, pointing
out it covers three-quarters of
the earth’s surface.
The Bryan-College chapter was
formed to develop community in
terest in oceanographic programs.
It will meet on a monthly basis
and provide programs of general
interest, open to wives and chil
dren, Waldrop said.
Capt. T. K. Tredwell, deputy
commander of the Naval Ocean
ographic Office, will speak Nov.
17.
GEYER NOTED the Oceanog
raphy Department operates on an
annual budget of $2 million in
volving 160 persons. Several local
firms are involved in oceanog
raphy. The A&M research ship
Alaminos is insured and major
hardware is manufactured locally.
Geosciences Dean Horace Byers
and Dr. Dale W. Leipper, ocean
ography professor, explained ASO
programs and commented on
A&M’s involvement in oceanog
raphy.
The organizational meeting was
attended by about 30 bankers,
lawyers, school teachers, insur
ance executives, a dentist and
others.
