Dr. J. George H. Thompson,
mechanical engineering professor,
won the Piper teaching award,
which carries with it designation
as “Piper Professor of 1968.”
PRESIDENT EARL Rudder
presided at the awards program.
Jeff Montgomery of Houston,
Former Students president, pre
sented his association’s awards.
Dr. Brundidge, who earned his
Ph.D. here after receiving B.S.
and M.S. degrees from the Uni
versity of Chicago, joined the
faculty in 1955.
“His enthusiasm for his sub
ject, his teaching ability, his
interest in students’ problems
were primary factors which mo
tivated me to abandon my original
profession,” noted one student in
the citation honoring Brundidge.
PIERCE RECEIVED all three
of his degrees at A&M and was
awarded a National Science
Foundation Science Faculty Fel
lowship for advanced study in
his field. He joined the faculty
in 1959.
A member of A&M’s faculty
for 33 years, Dr. Klipple was
described as a “teacher in the
traditional sense, believing that
while the professor is the teach
er, students have much to learn
through free and open discus
sions.
“He is without exception the
greatest teacher I have ever
known,” noted one of Dr. Klip-
ple’s former students, who is now
a department head here. He
earned bachelor’s and Ph.D. de
grees from the University of
Texas.
Dr. Sorensen’s citation related
that, in addition to his teaching,
he finds time to be a first-class
research scientist, with at least
24 papers to his credit. A Texas
A&M graduate, he joined the
faculty in 1955 after receiving
master’s and Ph.D. degrees from
Cornell.
“HE IS interested in more than
just the top students in his class,”
recalled one of Sorensen’s former
students, “because he feels each
student deserves a chance to
learn, regardless of his ability.”
Under Dr. Leipper’s super
vision, recalls his research award
citation, Texas A&M took the
lead in national as well as inter
national oceanographic programs.
The document related several of
his scientific contributions and
pointed out their significance is
readily apparent, even to the
novice.
DR. ZINGARO, who joined
A&M in 1954, is internationally
recognized as an authority in
inorganic chemistry. He received
his B.S. from City College of
New York and Ph.D. from the
University of Kansas.
Zingaro’s citation pointed out
he is currently supervising the

dissertation research of 10 pre-
doctoral students and is providing
all their stipends and research
expenses from outside funds.
Stark, winner of the individual
student relationships award, was
graduated from A&M in 1939
and returned in 1947.
The MSC director’s citation
said he “puts his time and energy
toward one prevailing goal—that
of helping students develop them
selves while serving others.”
BROWN, the extension award
winner, organized Texas’ Com
munity Development Program in
which enrollment has grown from
130 communities in 1955 to 312
in 1968. He also hast been instru
mental in development of numer
ous other campus and community
programs, his citation related.
Dr. Barker, winner of one of
the three Standard Oil teaching
awards, received B.A. and M.A.
degrees from Baylor and the
Ph.D. from the University of Tex
as. He has been a member of the
A&M faculty since 1959.
“We know of no professor on
the campus,” emphasized Dr.
Barker’s nominators, “who so
methodically prepares for teach
ing, is more aware of the learn
ing taking place as he teaches,
and who gives more freely of his
time to both group and individ
uals who need additional assis
tance in understanding the sub
ject.”
“ALTHOUGH still a relatively
young man,” noted the citation
for Dr. Morgan, “this scholar has
already won wide reputation as
a brilliant researcher for his pio
neer discovery or co-discovery
and contributions to the basic un
derstanding of the mechanism of
action of hormones in plants.”
Dr. Thomas earned four degrees
from Ohio State before joining
the A&M faculty in 1964.
“He is able to stimulate the un
dergraduate students to levels of
achievement usually reserved for
graduate study,” noted the draft
ers of Thomas’ citation. His de
manding and exacting high stand
ards motivate his students will
ingly to exert the extra effort
required to excel, the document
continued.
Dr. Thompson, who received
two degrees from Pennsylvania
State College and two from Texas
A&M, was designated a “Piper
Professor of 1968” on the basis
of his teaching record during 29
years here.

(If you flunk, at least you'll be awake.)
Sure you've used NoDoz to help you
stay awake the night before an exam.
But have you ever thought of taking
NoDoz to make yourself a little sharper
during the exam itself?
Well, maybe you should.
Let's say you're one of those guys
who doesn't have to cram like mad the
night before. (Even so, you're probably
not getting your usual amount of sleep.)
And let's say the morning of the big
exam, you find yourself heading for
class, kind of drowsy and unwound
and wondering if The Great Brain has
deserted you in the night.
What do you do?
You panic, that's what you do.
Or, if you happened to read this ad,
you walk coolly over to the water cooler
and wash down a couple of NoDoz, the
Exam Pill. And before long you're feel
ing more alert and with it again.
You see, NoDoz helps bring you up
to your usual level of alertness, so you
don't just sit there in a fog; it's got what
it takes to help restore your perception,
your recall, and even your ability to
solve problems.
In fact, NoDoz contains the strongest
stimulant for your mind that you can
take without a prescription. Yet it's not
habit forming.
Okay, but what about the guy who
goofs off all term and has to jam every
thing in the night before.
Are we saying NoDoz will keep him
from flaming out ?
Nope.
We're just saying m NoDoz A
he'll be alert and awake. ^ ^
As he flunks.
