LANSING, Mich. (AP) _ Gov.
orge Romney, a presidential
pirant, said Thursday he has
nceled a half hour’s national
levision time on the Columbia
oadcasting System because of
strictions imposed by the net-
ork.
“These restrictions would have,

Conceived in 1962, the cyclo-
ron project was officially begun
n April, 1964, with a $3 million
tomic Energy Commission
;rant. The State of Texas fur-
lished $2 million for construction
if the building and the Robert A.
^elch Foundation of Houston
irovided a $1 million grant for
aboratories and equipment.
A&M scientists created the cy
clotron's first beam of nuclear
jartifles in August. Additional
mgineering and testing have pro-
•eeded on schedule to put the ma-
:hine in full operation next
nonth, McFarlin said.
The A&M cyclotron is consid
ered a third-generation machine,
wolving from the first successful
ievice of its kind created in 1931.
Incorporating design dictated
by Einstein’s theory of relativity,
the A&M cyclotron can accelerate
numerous types of nuclear par
ticles to extremely high speeds.
It can accelerate protons, for ex
ample, to energies of from six to
60 million electron volts. Other
particles can be accelerated to
more than 100 million electron
volts.
McFarlin explained that it is
ty bombarding various materials
with particles that scientists
learn more about the nature of
the atom’s nucleus.

Teachers Meet
Tuesday is the deadline for vot
ing absentee in the Nov. 11 elec
tion, remind Bryan-College Sta
tion Chamber of Commerce offi
cials who are urging passage of
Amendment No. 6.
Don Dillon, the chamber’s civic
vice president, notes election day
is also the opening of deer season.
He urges hunters to vote absen
tee.
Passage of Amendment 6 would
allow non-elective state officers
and employees, including person
nel at state-supported institutions
such as Texas A&M, to serve in
other non-elective state and fed
eral positions.
Specifically, approval of the
amendment would permit faculty
members at state - supported
schools to accept invitations to
serve on non-paying federal and
state advisory boards.
A&M President Earl Rudder
pointed out that many of these
advisory boards control allocation
of large research and develop
ment grants and are often instru
mental in determining location
of federal facilities.
Texas, Rudder observed, is at
a distinct disadvantage in obtain
ing such funds and facilities be
cause it has no representation on
the boards.
Texas is one of the few states
prohibiting service on such
hoards. The provision against
such service dates back to 1876.
Mansfield Plans
Fort Worth Talk
W. B. Mansfield, chief instruc

ment Division of Texas A&M’s
Engineering Extension Service,
will be in Fort Worth Wednesday
to address the Safety Council of
Fort Worth and Tarrant County.

dustrial Institute, is titled, “The
Importance of Continuous Train

tion” of the Republican party for
president, Romney said.
ROMNEY ADDED that he
would say “in the near future”
whether he will seek the nomina
tion, but he did not say when or
how he would make his decision
known.
The Michigan chief executive
had said he intended to use the
time on national TV to report to
the nation on “ a matter of im
portance.” He had indicated this
would include his views on vio
lence that wracked some of the
nation’s urban areas last summer.
There had been widespread
speculation that Romney would
use the television time which had
been scheduled for Nov. 15, to
announce his candidacy for the
nomination.
“A DECISION whether or not
to become a candidate should be
conveyed first to all the American
people at one time through media
simultaneously and equally,”
Romney said. “This is what I
intend to do in the near future.”
He did not elaborate.
In New York, Thomas H. Daw
son, president of the CBS tele
vision network, said in a state
ment: “We wish to make it clear
that from the very commencement
of our negotiations with his repre
sentatives we were told that he
desired network television time
in order to announce his candi
dacy.
“WE WOULD NOT otherwise
have entertained his request for
broadcast time.”
CBS also released the text of
a letter it said was addressed
Oct. 27 to Ralph Davis in the
Detroit office of McCann-Erick-
son, Inc.
The letter outlined a CBS policy
that, in the area of controversial
issues, only political candidates
may buy television time. Other
wise any such programs must be
produced under the direction- and
control of the network.
“Both these policies,” the letter
added, “would make it impossible
for us to sell time to Gov. Romney
—or, of course, to Messrs. Nixon,
Reagan or any other person—
unless his appearance is as a
candidate.”

FOREIGN STUDENT ADVISORS
Mrs. Earl Rudder greets foreign student advisors from colleges in the South and South

in connection with the regional meeting of the National Association for Foreign Student
Affairs, which continues today.
Foreign Students ’ Problems
To Be Discussed Tonight
By JOHN McCARROLL
Once again, the Aggies are out
to build one of the most impres
sive stacks of spirit that has ever
hit the Southwest Conference.
This year, thousands of Cadets
and gung-ho civilians will meet in
the woods east of Bryan to cut
and begin hauling millions of
board feet of logs to the Bonfire
site on the Air Force Drill Field.
BECAUSE OF the A&M-Rice
game scheduled for the weekend
preceding the Bonfire, work will
begin early on the huge stack.
Cutting and hauling will begin on
Saturday morning, Nov. 11.
“Last year we had a 65 foot
stack—this year we hope to have
one at l^ast 85 feet,” Neal Adams,
head yell leader, said.
Tbe centerpole will arrive at
the stacking site on Nov. -4, and
will go up on the following day.
Actual stacking will begin at
noon on Nov. 16, and will con
tinue until the night of the Bon
fire on Nov. 22.
“UNDERCLASSMEN will be
permitted to work on the Bonfire
for four days only. They can
work only on Nov. 11, 12, 19, and
20,” he continued. Juniors and
Seniors who do not have classes
on the afternoons of Nov. 9, 10,
16, and 17 may go to the cutting
area to perform preparatory
work including some preliminary
wood cutting.
On Nov. 11, 12, 19, and 20, at
6 a.m. Cadets will meet in the
stacking area behind Duncan
Mess Hall to board trucks to
travel to the cutting area. Meals
will be served on these days at
5:30 a.m., 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and
7 p.m.
ACCORDING TO Adams, out
fit jobs have been assigned as
follows:
Cutting area — A-l, B-l, C-l,
D-l, E-l, F-l, G-l, B-2, D-2, E-2,
Sqd. 1, Sqd. 2, Sqd. 4, Sqd. 5, Sqd.
7, Sqd. 8, Sqd. 10, and Sqd. 11.
Loading area—Sqd. 3, Sqd. 6,
and Sqd. 9.
Stacking area—A-2, C-2, and
F-2.
Unloading will be handled by
the Maroon and White Band.
For the first time the civilians
will be an integral part of the
Bonfire. While the Corps makes
the trip to Houston for the game
with Rice, the “non-regs” will
continue with stacking and secur
ity measures under the supervi
sion of Tommy Osburn.
“We need everybody we can get
this year,” Adams said. “This is
the year the civilians can make a
name for themselves; we are ex
pecting about five or six hundred
to show up.”
Problems of foreign students in
American Universities and col
leges will be probed Friday at
Texas A&M by delegates attend
ing a regional meeting of the Na
tional Association for Foreign
Student Affairs and the Institute
of International Education.
Dr. Paul Hensarling of Texas
A&M University will become

Hensarling, Education Depart
ment head, became vice chairman
at the 1966 conference in Dallas.
He will succeed Frank L. Will
iams, assistant superintendent of
Dallas schools.
The 20th conference will con

education personnel with state
and federal officials for scrutiny
of teacher education problems.

ed Thursday at the Ramada Inn
with a talk by Marita T. Houli
han, coordinator for student activ
ities, Bureau of Education and
Cultural Affairs, U. S. State De
partment.
Miss Houlihan praised univer
sity and college officials through
out the nation for sharp evalua
tion of needs of foreign students.
She noted that only four per cent
of support granted foreign stu
dents is used for administration.
DR. GEORGE W. Kunze, asso
ciate dean of A&M’s Graduate
College, traced the growth of for
eign student enrollment at A&M
from 63 in 1950 to 602 in 1967.
Dean Kunze predicted contin
ued growth of foreign student
programs in the United States
and praised A&M’s foreign stu
dent advisor, Robert L. Melcher,
as one of the most efficient and
capable men in the profession.
Forty-five persons participated
in the opening session, but the
registration total was expected
to climb to 75 by Friday.
Delegates were honored Thurs
day evening with a reception at
