THE BATTALION
Doctors Used To The Unusual In Hue
Water, Sewage Short School
Observes 50th Anniversary
The golden anniversary of Tex- nnot «,;n i— . V
HUE, Vietnam —i There
wasn’t anything in the dispensary
to perform an amputation with,
so a medic ran out and borrowed
a hacksaw from the Sea bees.
It was hardly the type of thing
taught in medical school but Dr.
Stephen Bemie from Dayton,
Ohio, was getting used to the un
usual.
He had been blown out of bed
a few nights before by an ex
ploding rocket. Later standing in
front of his dispensary, he was
sprayed by shrapnel from a mor
tar which exploded on the tile
roof of the one-story building.
THE EASY, going 28-year-old
Army captain, recently a student
at Ohio State, had been plunged
into the heart of Vietnam’s nasti
est battle.
“It was suddenly the acadent
ward at a big city hospital,” Ber-
Engineers:
Help yourself to an enriching career in exciting Houston!
WHAT’S HAPPENING IN HOUSTON?
Plenty. Major league baseball and football...
year-round golf . .. soccer ... ice hockey... hunt
ing .. . fishing. And you and your family can
enjoy sunny Gulf beaches... the Astrodome ...
Astroworld (a Disneyland-type amusement cen
ter now under construction) . . . fine art galleries
. . . opera, symphony, ballet, theater in Jones
Hall. . . great restaurants . .. vibrant downtown
and thriving suburban areas. .. low-cost housing
—all the excitement of living in the nation’s
sixth-largest city!
WHAT’S HAPPENING AT HL&P?
Growth—to serve America’s most dynamic
growth area! We’re already one of the nation’s
largest electric power companies, and we’re car
rying out an expansion program that will in
crease by 70% the power available to the
Houston-Gulf Coast area. Every working day we
invest $270,000 in this program that includes a
revolutionary computer-controlled Electric En
ergy Control Center.. . new generating and dis
tribution facilities . . . and a new skyscraper
headquarters building now nearing completion
in Houston’s downtown Civic Center area.
HOW FAR CAN YOU GO WITH HL&P?
All the way to the top. Our president began
his career as a transmission engineer for HL&P.
Because an electric utility is built on engineering
skills, engineers can realize rewarding careers
with us. Right now our Engineering Department,
Power Department and Sales Divisions offer
growth positions to BS, MS or PhD candidates
in Electrical Engineering. There are also excel
lent opportunities in Mechanical and Chemical
Engineering.
MONDAY & TUESDAY, MARCH 4 & 5
Our representatives will be on campus on this
date. So, for an interview appointment with one
of these men,

nie said. “Until now we could al
ways get serious cases to the reg
ular hospital at Phu Bai. It’s only
seven miles away and the ambul
ance could get there in minutes.
We never really dreamed of this.”
Ris three - room dispensary,
equipped mainly for GI colds and
stomachaches, became the sole
clearing station in the raging bat
tle for Hue.
THE Communists cut the road
to Phu Bai and isolated the city
by land. They raked the perfume
River with shellfire and: made
evacuation by sea hazardous and
long. A cold misty rain settled
over the city, making evacuation
helicopters irregular and chancy.
In a small room with two
stretchers placed on metal stands,
Bemie and a small team of medics
treated a tragic stream of wound
ed.
For almost a week, working
through the nights by flashlight
until an emergency generator was
rigged, Bemie's small team ran
the station alone. Then a helicop
ter dropped a small Navy medical
team headed by Lt. James Back,
a lean, 29-year-old doctor from
Lexington, Ky., whose enthusiam
matched Bemie’s.
THE TWO doctors and their
Army medics and Navy corpsmen
treated hundreds o f American
soldiers and Marines. Only two
died later, and both were in hope
less condition when they were
brought in.
Uncounted patients were Viet
namese civilians — the besieged
city’s own medical facilities just
disappeared.
“We had to do major opera
tions on some of them,” Back
said. “We knew that if we didn’t
do it, it wouldn’t get done and
they would die.”
The golden anniversary of Tex
as Water and Sewage Works
Association’s short school is ex
pected to draw more than 1,000
participants to Texas A&M March
3-8.
Dr. Roy W. Hann, director and
associate professor of civil en
gineering, said many former
TWSWA members are to attend
along with regular members and
persons working toward water
and sewage certification by the
Texas State Department of
Health.
Special events for old-timers
are planned Wednesday, March
6, when the annual TWSWA ban
