A &M Ju n ior Hopes
To Realize Dream
The Texas Aggie Band would
welcome other members of the
Herman Focke family of Mexia.
John H. Focke III will be an
Aggie Band senior next fall and
accompanied the large military
organization to the Cotton Bowl.
His father, a Mexia insurance
agent and U. S. Army VIII Corps
Reserve Headquarters command
er, marched in the New Year’s
Day football extravaganza in
1941. Both played, the piccolo. His
mother is also a musician and
teaches music in Mexia schools.
Johnny, as he’s known to
friends, has yet to step off with
the Aggie Band.
THE JUNIOR CHEMISTRY
and pre-medical major was se
verely paralyzed by a childhood
disease and is working on regain
ing full use of his legs.
Focke’s efforts will reach a
peak this summer. In less than
a month he will wear senior boots
the first time and he’s planning
to win a marching slot on the
outside file for the 1969 season,
his last with the renowned band
directed by Lt. Col. E. V. Adams.
“It depends on therapy this
summer,” remarked the Distin
guished Student who wants to
enter medicine and study the dis
ease that paralyzed him from
the shoulders down.
His efforts—in the classroom,
band practice room and at build
ing his strength—are faultless.
Realizing walking would aid his
3 Women
Give Horse
To A&M
Texas A&M officials didn’t
have to look their gift horse in
the mouth Monday to know they
had a good deal.
The animal, a thoroughbred
race horse named Jedgar Ruler,
was recently appraised at $100,-
000 and has an insurance policy
for the same amount.
Jedgar Ruler, a 14-year-old
named in honor of FBI Chief J.
Edgar Hoover, also has some
powerful ancestors and relatives,
including its sire, Nasrullah, and
half-brothers, Nashua and Bold
Ruler, all great stakes winners.
The bay horse, which had a
good record as a three-year-old
and whose offspring have won
approximately $250,000 to date,
was donated to Texas A&M by
Mrs. Wofford Cain and Mrs. Clint
W. Murchison Sr. of Dallas and
Mrs. B. G. Byars of Tyler. The
three women formerly operated
the Murcain and Byars Stables
in California.
Mrs. Cain and her husband,
1913 graduate of Texas A&M and
a member of its board of direc
tors, have long been among the
institution’s most generous don
ors, having provided financial
support for several major uni
versity projects and more than
100 scholarships. The Murchison
and Byars families also have pro
vided A&M scholarships for many
years.
A&M officials emphasized the
university is not entering the
racing business, but rather will
use Jedgar Ruler in its breeding
program for teaching and nutri
tional research.
comeback, the all-regional piccolo
player took up golf in 1960.
He shoots to a 12 to 14 handi
cap with consistent low-80s scores
in a game that requires firmness
and control.
“Johnny can really wear that
golf ball out,” noted. Adams.
FOCKE, WHO WILL MAKE
medical school application this
summer, also works 15 minutes
daily on an exercise program set
up by Dr. C. E. Williford of Mex
ia. The Exer-genie program is
similar to that used by the SWC
champion Aggies and numerous
professional teams.
This year’s Maroon Band schol
astic sergeant, Focke has a 2.08
grade point ratio which should
get him into med school.
A&M’s pre-medicine curriculum
is a three - year program, but
Focke is going a four-year route
for a chemistry degree that also
fulfills pre-medicine requirements.
“If I get into med school and
discover I don’t want to be a
doctor, I’ll have a degree,” the
21-year-old Aggie explained.
“MY MAIN INTEREST is this
disease that crippled 1 me,” he went
on. “I was in the hospital 57 days
and saw so many people suffering
with the same thing. I’d just like
to see if there’s something I can
help do about it.”
Focke plans to commute from
Mexia to Waco for summer school
this year, “to help lighten the
load somewhat for next year. It
won’t hurt me when I get into
med school either.”
One of three pre-medicine ma
jors in the band, Focke serves
as a special assistant to the di
rector. He played for the recent
taping for a stereo album of
Aggie band music.
While indoor practice is under
way, he is armed with a stop
watch to check cadence, which
in corps march-ins and reviews
must remain close to 120 beats
per minute.
800 Students
Seeking 80
Scholarships
Texas A&M’s Faculty Scholar
ship Committee is becoming more
selective in choosing award win
ners.
The reason is simple, explains
Dr. Wayne C. Hall, academic vice
president and Faculty Scholar
ship Committee chairman. Appli
cants are becoming more astute
and numerous.
A record 800 high school seniors
filed applications this spring for
Opportunity Award Scholarships.
Of that number, 80 were selected.
“Members of the Faculty Schol
arship Committee are greatly im
pressed,” Dr. Hall commented,
with the outstanding scholastic
achievements of high school stu
dents applying for scholarships
and admission to the university
this year.”
Robert M. Logan, Student Fi
nancial Aid director and secretary
of the Faculty Scholarship Com
mittee, said cut-off scores on the
scholastic aptitude test were 291
points higher than last year.
In 1967, the committee consid
ered seniors who scored a mini
mum 983 on the SAT test, per
haps better known as the college
entrance exam. The score soared
to 1,274 this spring.
Logan said a Corpus Christi
youngster scored 1,579—just 21
points away from a perfect 1,600.
Necessity for financial assis
tance also is considered in choos
ing Opportunity Award Scholar
ship recipients, Logan pointed
out.
Opportunity Award Scholar
ships range from $250 to $800
per year.
The committee has announced
134 high school seniors as winners
of Educational Opportunity
Grants. Financial need, Logan
noted, plays a more important
part in the committee’s final de
cision although scholastic achieve
ment is considered.
Logan said the SAT cut-off
score for Educational Opportunity
Grants was 985, an increase of
125 points over last year.
Board Of Directors Accept
Loans, Grants Of $889,180
Texas A&M’s Board of Direc
tors Saturday accepted $889,180
in gifts, grants, loans, scholar
ships, fellowships and awards to
the A&M System.
Capital gifts totaled $12,817
with $10,000 of that sum given
by the Houston Contracting Com
pany to endow the R. P. Gregory
Memorial Fund in Engineering.
Scholarships, fellowships and
awards amounted to $30,087.
These included $6,000 from the
Ella C. McFadden Charitable
Trust, $3,600 each from the Ten-
neco Foundation and the Rob and
Bessie Welder Wildlife Founda
tion, and $1,720 from Albritton
Engineering Corp.
Nineteen special gifts totaled
$60,475. Topping the list was a
$40,000 field recording unit for
the Geophysics Department given
by Humble Oil and Refining Co.
Also included was $12,500 from
Teledyne Exploration Co. and
$5,000 from Motorola Semicon
ductor Products Inc.
The Robert A. Welch Founda
tion donated $369,000 for funda
mental research in chemistry.
