To View Apollo 9 Launch
Aggies Plan Cape Kennedy Visit
Apollo 9’s liftoff Friday at
Cape Kennedy will be viewed by
13 Texas A&M aerospace engi
neering majors and five faculty
members at invitation of the Na
tional Aeronautics and Space Ad
ministration.
The space shot will feature the
first weightless flight of the
lunar excursion module, which on
a future Apollo mission will put
men on the moon. The crew will
include Air Force Lt. Cols. James
A. McDivitt and David R. Scott
and civilian astronaut Russell L.
Schweickert, who plans a two-
hour space walk.
Aerospace Engineering Depart
ment head Prof. A. E. Cronk said
the LEM separation and docking
maneuver with the command
module will introduce a complex
twist into the orbital flight. The
two components are to separate
by 110 miles before rendevous.
ENGINEERING DEAN Fred
Benson will head the 18-man con
tingent that will attend an Apollo
flight briefing, make a guided
tour of the Cape Kennedy launch
complex and watch the 10 a.m.
(CST) launch.
Cronk, Drs. Charles A. Roden-
berger and James L. Rand of the
aero engineering faculty, and Air
Force Col. Vernon L. Head, pro
fessor of aerospace studies, will
make the two-day trip.
Participating students include
Vincent C. Anderson, junior of
Amarillo; Russell E. Bell, senior,
New Braunfels; Charles D. Fer-

Travel Aid Offered
To A&M Students
By DAVE BERRY
Battalion Staff Writer
The Travel Committee wants
all A&M students who are inter
ested in traveling to receive all
the help and encouragement they
need, says committee chairman
Mrs. Jeanna Chastain Fiske.
“This is our purpose to serve
the needs of any and all students
who think they might want to
travel,” she said. “We give ad
vice, help with paperwork and
provide financial aid.”
Mrs. Fiske, a sophomore pre-
vet student, emphasizes that any
A&M student can make use of
the Travel Committee; all that
the interested student need do is
inquire.
“MANY PROBABLY don’t even
know that A&M has a travel com
mittee; and those who do prob
ably would be surprised at the
amount of assistance we have of
fered in the past and the amount
we could offer them now,” Mrs.
Fiske pointed out.
“Since its recognition as a com
mittee about five years ago it has
been of immense help to scores of
travel-bound A&M students. In
many cases, the student would not
have been able to travel without
our assistance,” she says.
“This summer, for example,
three students will be going over
seas as a result of financial aid
from us. David Berry, a sopho
more from Massachusetts will go
to Denmark; Tom Condry, a jun
ior from Angleton, to Australia;
and Paul Scopel, a sophomore
from Seguin, to Austria.
“Their loans, like all Travel
Committee loans, are repayable
in small installments without in
terest beginning from three to
five months after the students
graduate,” she continues.
“The terms of the loans are
purposely lenient so that the
traveler is not burdened with the
worries of a loan until after he
is more capable of paying it. We
know that the student traveler
has enough to worry about with
studies and traveling plans,” she
adds.
“THIS TRAVEL LOAN fund,”
Mrs. Fiske explains, “was set up
three years ago with a donation
from an Aggie-Ex. Its purpose,
now as then, is to help remove
any financial obstacles from the
path of prospective travelers.”
According to Mrs. Fiske, the
committee still has funds avail
able for those who wish to travel
this summer and need aid.
“Last week the loan fund
awarded loans to those it decided
would not be able to go overseas
next summer without aid. Now
the fund is considering applica
tions from those who were not
considered as needful as last
week’s group. It is also accept
ing applications from those who
wish to travel independently.
“We would like the student to
make sure that he has used all
possible resources before he
comes to us for aid,” Mrs. Fiske
said. He should then get a finan
cial aid application from Shy
Hicks at the Student Program
Office, fill it out, and return it
to the office by March 3. He will
then be interviewed by the com
mittee and shortly thereafter
notified of its decision.”
THE COMMITTEE, which se
lects loan recipients, includes
Mrs. Fiske; Col. G. E. Mayeux,
the committee’s adviser; J.
Wayne Stark, MSC director; R.
Clark Diebel, controller of ac
counts in the fiscal office; and
Benjamin J. Sims, MSC Council
president.
“A&M goes to so much trou
ble to send students overseas be
cause it views such travel as
highly educational,” Mrs. Fiske
continued.
“Many other universities in the
United States require their stu
dents to go overseas for a semes
ter. Stanford, for example, has
two overseas campuses to which
it sends its students.
“The Travel Committee is at
tempting to put A&M on the
same international footing as
these universities,” she said.
THE INCREASING number of
students traveling through com
mittee programs attests to its
success, according to Mrs. Fiske.
The committee’s varied programs
include:
• The Experiment in Interna
tional Living, a chance to live
with an overseas family for a pe
riod of time followed by travel
in the family’s country;
• Crossroads Africa, a chance
to go to Africa to help complete
some urgently needed project;
• The International Association
for the Exchange of Students for
Technical Experience (IAESTE),
a chance to work overseas in the
student’s field of study.
