Animal Science Department, said
the lectures will focus on com

nutrition with special emphasis
on factors related to large scale
feedlot enterprises.
He said Eng will also help in
the development of a curriculum

feedlot management to be offered

I don’t know what I would
have done with it had I won,”
chuckled Aggie Eugene C. Oates
Jr., describing 30 years ago,
when as a student, he ran and
lost the race for mayor of Col
lege Station.
Oates, now serving as a stu
dent affairs counselor for nearly
1,000 civilian students, recalled
there was “a real lack of inter
est” in the first election held
after College Station was incor
porated.
Being over 21 with his poll tax
paid, he was approached by gen
eral local citizens to make the
race to help “stir up some votes.”
Oates decided to file for the
city post.
“The people quickly decided if
a ‘yahoo’ like me was eligible to
run, they’d better do something
about it,” he added. “It pro
duced a sizeable turnout.”
“NEEDLESS to say, I got
very few votes,” Oates empha
sized.
At that time, Oates, a junior
economics major, was sports edi
tor of The Battalion.
Oates was graduated in 1941.
He entered the Army as a lieu
tenant where he remained until
retirement in 1964 when he re
turned to A&M.
“I got in and liked it so I
stayed,” he remarked. He re
tired as a colonel, after duty in
Italy during World War II and
in Korea.
A short time before his dis
charge from active duty, Oates
received a Joint Service Com
mendation Medal from the De
partment of Defense. He was
cited for serving as chief of the
Tactical Operations Branch of
STRIKE Command during the
time when the First Cavalry be
came an air-mobile division.
OATES LIKES his role with
the students where he once
studied.

much after shave.’
Even the might of the military can’t protect you if you’re not
careful how you use Hai Karate® After Shave and Cologne. One
whiff and females get that “make love not war” look in their
eyes. So to maintain military discipline and keep your uniform
intact, we put instructions on self-defense in every package.
Just in case it comes down to hand-to-hand combat.
Hai Karate-be careful how you use it.
“Over 99.9 percent of these
young men turn out to be real
fine people,” he said. He has
responsibilities for four dorms—
Research Fund
Awards Grant
Research Corporation of New
York has awarded a $3,450 grant
to Texas A&M for research in
growth regulating hormones in
plants.
The grant is for research cur
rently being conducted by Dr.
Robert D. Stipanovic, assistant
chemistry professor in the Col
lege of Science.
Stipanovic said funds will be
used “in developing some syn
thetic methods that will be used
in synthesis plant hormones re
lated to gibberellic acid (growth
regulating hormones).”
A graduate of Rice and Stan
ford universities, Stipanovic has
been conducting his research un
der a Welch Grant. He joined
A&M in September, 1967.

Not a desk man, although
much counseling is performed in
his office, Oates is usually found
“shooting the breeze” with stu
dents on the grounds, or in their
rooms.
“I don’t make a dime sitting
in this office,” said Oates, relat
ing his duties to the students.
“I have to get out and get ac
quainted.”
And, getting out he does. Once
every day Oates makes a swing
through the dorms.
“IT GIVES me a chance to
look over the facilities and see
if anything needs taking care
of,” added Oates. “It also gives
me an opportunity to talk with
the students.”
Although discipline is a re
sponsibility of his job, Oates dis
likes it the most, even though
“you have to face up to it.” Since
last September only four of
Oates’ Aggies — a very small
percentage of the nearly 1,000—
have been placed on probation.
Oates tries to get to know all
his students. It is not uncom
mon for him to be in the dorms
late at night.
“I really enjoy it,” concluded
Oates.
March 23-29, 1969, is Chamber
of Commerce Week, the sixth
annual observance sponsored by
local Chambers of Commerce and
the American Chamber of Col-
merce Executives.
