Baylor Miss Picks A&M
For Summer Compromise
Having- an Aggie father and
brother plus a Maggie mother
makes it hard for a girl to choose
a university other than Texas
A&M for her higher education.
Brown-haired, personable Lee
Curtis of Bryan selected Baylor,
but makes her family happy by
working summers at A&M and
participating in sundry activities
at Aggieland.
“I’ve worked for the past two
summers as a clerk typist and
stenographer in the College of
Engineering,” smiled the junior
personnel management major.
“And I’ve sung in the Aggie Fol
lies and acted in an Aggie Play
ers production.”
The 5-5 coed with laughter in
her dark brown eyes is no strang
er to Aggies. Two years ago she
was a “Miss Coed” selection by
the Aggie Review, the College of
Liberal Arts’ magazine. Later in
1966 Miss Curtis was spotlighted
in a picture layout in the “Ag
riculturist,” a College of Agri
culture publication.
“A couple of years ago, I sang
with a folk group here,” she re
called, “but we broke up because
of school conflicts or something
before we got around to making
up a name.
The daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Donald R. Curtis of 2308 Morn-
ingside Drive, Lee is a graduate
of Stephen F. Austin High School.
She chose Baylor because of its
music program, but elected to
change because operatic training
did not fit with her low alto
blues singing.
“Being a sports fan is lots of
fun for me,” Lee said. “I’m en
gaged to Rick Head of Bastrop,

“Naturally, I yell for A&M
when the Ags are playing some
body other than Baylor,” she
chuckled. “I’m crazy about base
ball and football. Besides, my hob
bies are bowling, singing, dancing
and playing the guitar.”
A national Honor Society mem
ber at SFA, Lee is in the Delta
Alpha Pi Social Club at Baylor,
where she was among five final
ists for “best dressed” last year.
The 19-year old miss was a
princess in the 1967 Cotton Pag
eant at A&M after being a duch
ess in 1967. She also was runner-
up in a Bryan-College Station
Evening Lions Club contest two
years back.
Beauty is more than skin-deep
for the Baylor - A&M beauty,
friends point out. Lee’s a won
derful person too, they quickly
add.

Teague Discusses
U.S. Involvement
BEAUTY ON A&M
Vivacious Lee Curtis, summer employe at A&M, admires
flowers during a break. A Baylor junior, Miss Curtis en
joys working at Aggieland. Her mother was one of the
first women admitted to A&M when the coed barrier was
partially lifted in 1963. Lee’s brother, Don, is an A&M
senior. Her father’s an Aggie fan.

American involvement in Viet
nam may prove longer than U.S.
officials are willing to admit.
James M. Teague, U.S. Foreign
Service officer, who spoke at a
Texas A&M Great Issues presen
tation Wednesday, said it will be
more than enough for him to
finish masters degree work and
return for another two or three-
year tour.
The son of Cong, and Mrs. Olin
E. Teague of College Station was
an Agency for International De
velopment (AID) provincial rep
resentative in Vietnam in 1966-67.
“An honest appraisal of our
commitment in Vietnam might be
as much as 30 years,” the former
A&M student indicated.
Teague said time is required
for U.S. leaders to gain experience
in fighting “this kind of war,” to
properly train and equip the
country’s armed forces, to de
velop Vietnamese leadership and
to work at problems that prevent
the Vietnamese from supporting
his government.
But the U.S. must make some
“hard-gut” decisions about land
reforms and corruption soon.
“Land reforms will help the
Vietnamese peasant get the three
things he wants: education for
his children, food, and to be left
alone by his government. This is
all anyone could ask for.”
“We are losing respect because
the U.S. is apparently overlooking
corruption. The Vietnamese think
we’re either blind, stupid or con-
