Welch Quits Good Business
To Take Up Vet Profession
Don’t call Guy Welch a quitter.
Welch, 26-year-old son of Hous
ton Mayor and Mrs. Louie Welch,
quit a profitable profession in real
estate 17 months a g-o to pursue our
ambition of becoming' a veterin
arian. His drean was realized, this
week at Texas A&M when he was
officially admitted to the College
of Veterinai Medicine.
“It was one of the happiest days
of my H.ff when I opened that let
ter from Dean (Alvin A.) Price,”
Welch grinned. “I know I’ve got
three years of hard work staring
me in the face, but I’m ready to
get after it.”
Why would a man give up his
own real estate business to go
into a profession which is not like
ly to be as remunerative finan
cially?
“I hated what I was doing,”
Welch fired back. “No doubt about
it. I just wasn’t suited for what
I was doing. So I talked with my
wife, Robbie (the former Robbie
Boggess of Frnioa), and she a-
greed that we needed to do some
thing else.”
Mrs. Welch is a fifth grade
teacher at A&M Consolidated.
The Welch’s have two children,
Lisa, 4, and Mitchell, 2.
“I’d been thinking about trying
to be a vet for almost two years,”
the Dallas native recalled. “And
I’d been fooling around with
horses in Houston for a long
time. Finally, I realized that as a
vet I could make a good living
and do something I’d like to do
at the same time.”
Welch wound up work for a
bachelor’s degree in business ad
ministration last June at A&M,
but chose to pick up his sheep
skin at Abilene Christian College,
wher he played two years at half
back and fullback for the
Wildcats.
Tactfully, he asked that he
not be built up as a gridiron
hero.
“I’ve never felt scientifically
inclined, but I’ve always loved
animals,” Welch said. “Too, I
dreaded the prospects of taking
chemistry and physics. Let’s face
it, I was lazy. But, eventually, I
faced the fact that I’d have to
hit those books and keep hitting
'em if I expected to get into vet
school.”
Apparently, the stockily - built
Houstonian has come out ahead
in his warfare with chemistry
and physics. Registrar’s records
reflect a 2.7 grade point ratio for
his work at Aggieland. A 3.0 is
a straight “A.”
'Veterinary medicine is an ex
citing and changing profession,”
Cub Den Mothers
Ask For Workers
Bryan - College Station Cub
Scout den mothers will tell it like
it is on KBTX-TV’s “Town Talk”
at 3:30 p.m. Friday.
K. A. Manning, chairman of
the executive committee for Cub
Scout Pack 802 in College Sta
tion, said four current den moth
ers will appear on the television
program hosted by Mrs. Fern
Hamman as part of a recruiting
drive for next fall.
Participating in the program
will be Mrs. Edna Pruitt and Mrs.
Connie Haas, representing the
College Station Cubs, and Mrs.
Mildred Hendrix and Mrs. Nancy
Mireles, representing Bryan.
Manning said each of the women
has several years of experience
as a den mother.
“We hope to get across to pro
spective den mothers that while
such an undertaking does require
some work, it also is fun and is
a rewarding experience,” he noted.
Den mothers, Manning empha
sized, receive considerable help in
planning and conducting their
meetings. He said monthly theme
programs are provided to each of
the mothers by Cub Scout head
quarters
Every attempt is made to pro
vide an assistant den mother to
help with the meetings, Manning
added.
Den mothers are essential if we
are to have a Cub Scout program,”
he stressed.
Manning urged all mothers of
Cub Scouts to see the Friday pro
gram and contact him if they
would be willing to serve as a
den mother or an assistant next
fall.
Welch commented. “In the future,
a person will have to have an
acute awareness in technical ad
vances in prevention and cure
of animal diseases for the good
of the animal world and the hu
man population alike.”
“One big thing has impressed
me about A&M,” Welch disclosed.
“That’s the open-door policy by
most of the professors. If a stu
dent wants help and asks for it,
he usually gets it. I detest stu
dents who sit in class, don’t
take notes, don’t contribute any
thing to the class, fidget around
like a man holding a hot coal
waiting for the bell to ring, then
go around bad-mouthing the prof
for doing a lousy teaching job.”
Welch maintains a friendly rap
port with his “T e a s i p” twin
brother, Gary, who graduates
June 3 from the University of
Texas Dental School in Houston.
“We kid each other a lot, but
get along fine,” Welch admitted.
A hater of Aggie jokes, Welch
has become an ardent fan of A&M
athletics, especially since he
“chews the fat” regularly after
church with A&M Athletic Direct
or Gene Stallings.
“When people start to tell me
an Aggie joke,’ Welch said “I
just ask them if they have read
the new book: ‘How to Win the
Cotton Bowl,’ written this year
by 35 A&M football players.”
Welch’s interest in being a
veterinarian doesn’t end in the
classroom. He lives and breathes
it. After hunting unsuccessfully
for a ranch job this summer, he
accepted employment with a meat
packing company in Friona to
gain working experience with
large animals.
When Welch completes vet
school, he plans to establish a
clinic of his own in the Southwest.
Cochran To Take
National Office
Dr. Robert G. Cochran, Nuclear
Engineering Department head at
Texas A&M, is president-elect of
the 6,000-member American Nu
clear Society’s Educational Divi
sion.
BRUSHING UP
Guy Welch gives “Annie” a happy brush off after being
accepted in Texas A&M’s College of Veterinary Medicine.
Welch will begin a three-year study program this fall with
the aim of becoming a veterinarian in the Southwest.
Cochran will take office Satur
day during the ANS meeting in
Toronto, Ontaria, Canada.
“The education division has
strong industrial leadership since
every person working in industry
has an important stake in the
future of education,” Cochran
said. “This is especially true be
cause the strength of the uni
versities provide assurance of the
quality of their associates and
employees.”
Oak Ridge Associated Univer&i-

Head of A&M’s Nuclear Engi-
neering Department since 1959,
Cochran has been a technical con
sultant for “start ups” of more
than a dozen research reactor fa
cilities in the United States.

Cochran pointed out participa
tion in the Educational Division
with its activities in curricula and
industrial-university relations is
one mode of helping that future.
Sea creatures are extremely
adept at extracting chemicals
from the ocean. The element
vanadium was not known to exist
in sea water until it was discover
ed in the blood of tunicates and
sea cucumbers. Iodine is rather
scarce in ocean water, but sea
weeds contain vast amounts of
it.
