Ming at Texas A&M are going
nto the excavation adjacent to
Duncan Dining Hall.
The building will house the
Texas Aggie Band’s practice and
office facilities, Cadet Corps uni-
[»m storage - distribution and
cold-dry storage lockers of the
Food Service Department.
Contracted completion date was
extended to April 1, 1970 due to
inclement weather, according to
J. 0. Adams, A&M facilities
planning and construction direc
tor. Temple Associates of Diboll
is the contractor.
Work has been hindered by
rain, runoff in the excavation
and shoring the excavation wall
at the east corner of Duncan.
The service building will abut the
dining hall and parallel Lewis
Street.
Planned as a one-story building
with a partial basement, the fa
cility will contain approximately
36,000 square feet. It will have
a combination masonry and con
crete exterior.
Loading docks for laundry, uni
forms and food storage will face
Lewis Street, across from the
drill field where the Thanksgiving
bonfire is constructed.
Adams said the basement will
take up about two-thirds of the
area under the structure, but the
additional space has been exca
vated for possible expansion.
Food storage freezers will be lo
cated in the basement.
R0TC uniform clothing facil
ities will be on the west end of
the ground level. A through pas
sageway will enable east dorm
area students to get to the drill
field.

E. V. Adams will be on the east
end of the ground floor.

‘We’ve Never Been
Licked’OnT onight
Incredulity, humor, pathos and
some nostalgia will be viewable
tonight on the faces of Grove
Theater patrons.
The variety of reactions will
come from watching “We’ve
Never Been Licked,” a movie
about A&M student life in the
early 1940s.
“I’ve seen it four times,” one
Aggie commented. “The story
and scenes aren’t nearly as in
teresting as remarks and reac
tions from the audience.”
A venerable movie that has
flickered before the eyes of many
thousands of A&M students,
“We’ve Never Been Licked”
deals with the goings-on of Ag
gies, their profs and the usual
prof’s daughter in an espionage
plot that moves in places and
results in considerable action.
Yell practice on the YMCA
steps, memorial services in Kyle
Field, professor’s homes on the
site of the Memorial Student
Center and dorm scenes—prob
ably made in Mitchell Hall—date
the Universal production.
It stars Robert Mitchum, Noah
Beery Jr., Anne Gwynn and
Martha O’Driscoll. The movie
filmed entirely at A&M was
Fess Parker’s first screen ap
pearance.
First of a Wednesday twinbill,
"We’ve Never Been Licked”
shows at 8:30 p.m. in the Grove.
"Spiral Road” with Rock Hud
son, Burl Ives and Gena Row
lands is in the late spot.
Grove manager Sammy Young
of Dallas noted the outdoor the
ater will be closed Friday and
Saturday for the Independence
holidays. It will reopen Sunday
with “Kitten With A Whip,” fea
turing Ann Margaret and John
Forsythe.
Bobby Joe Conrad, a former
football standout with Texas
A&M and the St. Louis Cardi
nals, was acquired last week by
the Dallas Cowboys.
Conrad played with Heisman
trophy winner John Crow and
was a member of the 1956 South
west Conference-winning team.
John Smith Named
To Head Library
John B. Smith has been named
acting library director, an
nounced Academic Vice President
Horace R. Byers.
Smith, the library’s assistant
director for public services the
past three years, succeeds Dr.
James P. Dyke who has resigned
to become library director at
New Mexico State.
Dr. Andrew J. Johnson, direc
tor of library services at Lamar
State College of Technology,
was originally named to replace
Dyke but withdrew when offered
the opportunity to become aca
demic vice president of the
Beaumont school.
A College Station native,
Smith received his undergradu
ate degree in English at Texas
A&M in 1960 and master’s de
gree in library science at Colum
bia University in 1963.
Prior to joining the A&M
staff, Smith was assistant law
librarian at Columbia.
Since joining A&M, he has
headed the various library oper
ations designed to serve the
public.
Smith is the son of the late
Dr. Elmer G. Smith, who served
as a physics professor at A&M
approximately 30 years until his
death in 1961. He is married
and the father of two children.

He said that because of busi
ness and other interests in Tex
as, had he not been traded he
would have quit football.
“The Cardinals have been very
nice and the Cowboys have come
through,” Conrad said. “Now all
I have to do is make the team.”
The Cowboys gave an undis
closed draft choice for the Clif

Conrad, 33, averaged 38 catches
a year for the last 11 years and
in that span had not missed

Meteorologists
Write About Sea
Like poets, meteorologists are
writing about the restless seas.
Texas A&M scientist Dr. Guy
A. Franceschini admits, how
ever, the writings are “quite dif
ferent” since his profession is
interested in determining the
factors contributing to that
restlessness.
An A&M faculty member
since 1952 when he earned his
doctorate, Franceschini returned
this week after a month of ex
periments with BOMEX, short
for the Barbados Oceanographic
and Meteorological Experiment.
Experiments were carried out
in the West Indies aboard FLIP,
also short for floating labora
tory instrument platform.
The work took place in an
area of the sea about 100 kilom
eters east of the island of Bar
bados. The area is about 290
square miles.
FLIP, towed into position,
floods her ballast tanks to be
come vertical, with only 65 feet
of the entire 355-foot length
above water. It becomes a sta
tionary platform unaffected by
the sea's sometimes turbulent
surface.
Franceschini, a professor of
meteorology, explained BOMEX
is designed to give man a better
understanding of the interaction
of the air and the sea, including
the effect each has on the other
and the resulting environment.
“We feel since the atmosphere
gets its energy second hand from
the earth’s surface, and since
70 percent of the surface is
ocean, the interaction is very
important from a meteorological
standpoint,” Franceschini said.
“If we’re ever going to fore
cast the weather,” he added,
“then we’re going to have to
allow for all of this energy.”
“We must know how it is go
ing to take place so we can put
it into our numerical prediction
scheme,” he continued.
“If you can’t tell a machine
what is going on, you can’t ex
pect to get good answers,” Fran
ceschini said.
BOMEX is part of a larger
international program dubbed
GARP (Global Atmosphere Re
search Project), expected to be
come operational by 1972, added
Franceschini.
Franceschini, sponsored by the
Office of Naval Research, said
he was concerned primarily with
“measuring incoming and re
flected solar radiation and net
total radiation” as well as tak
ing sky pictures.
His study included the transfer
of momentum from the air to
the water which produces wind
waves arid currents.
“I was measuring the struc
ture function of turbulence in
the air,” he explained further.
Franceschini and his associates
conducted 12 of BOMEX’s 97
different experiments.
Perez are some of the impressive
sluggers for the Reds, who—after
a slow getaway—have bounced
back into the thick of the fight for
the divisional flag.
The Dodgers, who will finish
the home stand with three games,
have been one of the surprise
teams of 1969. Figured near the
bottom in most early predictions,
Manager Walter Alston’s club has
confounded the experts by play
ing first-place or second-place
ball almost all year. With out
standing young talent and their
usual stingy pitching, the Dodg
ers should be a threat all year.
The final game of the coming
home stand—on Wednesday, July
16—will start an hour and a half
earlier than usual, at 6:00 p.m.
Otherwise, the usual 7:30 p.m.
weekday and 2:00 p.m. Sunday
schedule will be in effect for the
stand.
Tickets to these and all future
Astro home games may be ob
tained daily at the Astrodome
ticket office, all five Foley’s
stores in Houston, Houston Bank
and Trust and at most Texas In
ternational Airlines ticket count
ers. They also may be ordered by
mail (Tickets, Box 1691, Houston,
Texas 77001).
Aggie Sports Quotes
What other school can boast
two current world record hold

shot putter Randy Matson and
quartermiler Curtis Mills. . . .
A&M added four All-Americas
in track as the sprint relay four
some of Scott Hendricks, Mills,
Jack Abbott and Rockie Woods
finished third in the NCAA
meet with 39.5 clocking. . . .
Abbott is the only senior on that

As soon as ive met, I knew Rosie was special. She
has an air that says she knows who she is and where
she is going. I like the way she paints, too—she’s
quiet and businesslike.
Everything about her appeals to me. She dances
like a dream, plays tennis well enough to keep me
on my toes and loves painting as I do. She’s my kind
of girl.
In a world that seems mad, her outlook is refresh
ing. Maybe it’s because her church and her God are
important to her! And she isn’t afraid to say so.
We’ll be married next month—on a shoestring,
but, whatever the future holds, we know God and
His Church are the source of all goodness.
Your church has the key to real happiness. It is
eager to help you.
