1, 1969 stu- friends Person, Berths Still Open For Cruise On ‘Summer School At Sea’ THE BATTALION Wednesday, April 9, 1969 College Station, Texas Page 3 Although applications have al ready exceeded accommodations, students still have a chance to climb aboard the “Summer School at Sea” program, a 10-week Medi terranean cruise that combines college credit with high sea ad venture. Adm. James D. Craik, super intendent of the Texas Maritime Academy, said students may still apply for one of 90 berths aboard the her -ler, han u a be ind ide ust hulz the “Texas Clipper” despite the 140 applications already received. “Summer School at Sea,” joint ly sponsored by the College of Liberal Arts and TMA, offers spring high school graduates and college freshmen opportunity to earn six hours of college credit during the June 5-Aug. 10 jaunt. Sailing aboard A&M’s 15,000- ton oceanliner-classroom, students will depart from Galveston and call on Las Palmas, Canary Is lands; Barcelona, Spain; Piraievs, Greece; Naples, Italy, and Fun chal, Madeira. To complete the 13,700-mile voyage, the “Clipper” also will make one U. S. stop en- route and return via New Orleans. Craik said TMA has arranged several top but economical tours in the foreign countries, particu larly Greece. Qualified male students may enroll for two courses in fresh man English, history or mathe matics, the admiral noted. Credit may be applied to a standard degree from A&M or another college or university, or to a TMA course of study leading to a B.S. degree in marine engi neering or marine transportation. Fees and expenses for the five- year-old program are $550 for Texas residents and $700 for non residents. The charges include tuition, room and board. "i * « & $ CROOKED SMOKE Sen.

Easterwood Scholarship Trust Fund has been jointly an nounced by A&M President Earl Rudder and Miss Eva Easterwood of Dallas. University officials said the trust fund is the largest ever established here for scholarships. The gift, presented by Miss Easterwood, was made from the estate of her brother, the late Col. W. L. (Bill) Easterwood, prominent Dallas businessman and philanthropist. The fund hon ors their brother, Lt. Jesse L. Easterwood, class of ’09 and the second American to qualify as a Naval Aviation pilot in World War I. Easterwood Airport at Texas A&M is named in his honor. COLONEL Easterwood, who contributed to many worthy causes, devoted much of his time, money and talent to the develop ment of air power in memory of his brother. The trust fund will be used to continue and enlarge the Jesse L. Easterwood Scholarship pro gram which Miss Easterwood initiated in 1955. Eleven A&M students have received financial assistance under the original pro gram. Rudder said the new trust fund will be a vital part of the Oppor tunity Award Scholarship Pro gram, used to help highly quali fied high school graduates who need financial assistance to study here. Approximately 110 Oppor tunity Award Scholarships will be presented this year. After qualifying as a naval aviator, Lieutenant Easterwood was detached for duty with Eng- Prizes Announced In Math Contest A wrist watch and cash prizes of $10 and $15 will be awarded to freshmen and sophomore stu dents who place in the annual mathematics contest examina tions April 29, the Mathematics Department announced.

His heroics earned him the British, Belgium and Italian Air Crosses and placed him among the first three persons to receive America’s Navy Cross. THE WILLS POINT native was killed May 19, 1919, in the Panama Canal Zone while leading a flight of aircraft conducting a memorial flight in honor of a fallen fellow airman.

Aggie Awarded AF Cross For VN Bomb Raid The Air Force Cross, second only to the Medal of Honor, and Distinguished Flying Cross have been awarded three Texas A&M graduates for aerial heroism in Vietnam. Capt. Tracy K. Dorsett Jr. of Coolidge, who commanded Squad ron 16 here, was recognized with the Air Force Cross for extra ordinary heroism as an F-4 Phantom pilot. In poor weather, he went in for low-level, visual attack against one of North Vietnam’s most heavily defended air fields. ANTIAIRCRAFT fire severe ly damaged his Phantom, but Dorsett made additional passes, destroyed several parked planes and finally ejected from his own. The captain evaded enemy search parties and was rescued by allied helicopters. He was with the 8th Tactical Fighter Wing — the top MIG-killing unit of the Viet nam war — at Ubon Royal Thai AFB, Thailand. Captain Dorsett, who studied mechanical engineering here, is now working toward a master’s degree in aerospace weapons at the University of Dayton (Ohio) through the Air Force Institute of Technology. DFCs were awarded to Capt. Joe A. Bowles III of Austin, a 1965 graduate, and 1st Lt. Jerry A. Jacobs of San Antonio, who completed A&M studies in 1966. BOWLES WAS cited for a suc cessful radar bombing mission in North Vietnam. Also an F-4 pilot, the captain is currently a C-141 Starlifter pilot at Charles ton, AFB, S.C. The management major and Ross Volunteer was Second Wing Staff liaison offi cer. Lieutenant Jacobs received the DFC for successfully navigating an F-4 through opposing ground fire, missiles and MIGs to com plete a mission. Now an instruc tor navigator at Shaw AFB, S.C., he studied aerospace engineer ing here, was a Distinguished AFROTC Cadet and member of Squadron 7. Gvil Defense Responsibility Lies With Local Leaders, Bodine Says Civil defense is a mutual agree ment between local government and the public, an A&M educator declared. Dr. W. R. Bodine, a 1926 A&M graduate who now heads its civil defense training program for the state, pointed out a strong, local program is contingent upon local leaders. “Some leaders are very strong; some could care less,” said Bo dine, who serves as Civil Defense University Extension Program coordinator for Texas. Bodine named Brazos County as an example of what can hap pen with close-planning and training. He praised a December, 1968, Emergency Operating Simula tion exercise in Bryan and Col lege Station. “It was one of the best ever held in Texas,” he commented. Bodine attributed its success to the participation of local gov ernment leaders — including mayors of both cities and judges — who participated in advance training as well as the actual exercise. “They were there!,” he ex plained. Bodine described civil defense as “local government in action.' He pointed out, too, the gen eral philosophy behind civil de fense is for local government to prepare itself to continue to oper ate in any emergency. He added the major, or county judge automatically heads civil defense when elected to office. “They become civil defense,” he continued, in compliance with the Texas Civil Protection Act of 1951. Acknowledging civil defense is usually associated with nucleai attack and what could happen Bodine added it also applies ti natural disasters involving tor nadoes and flooding as in the cases of Hurricanes Carla and Beulah.
