Another To Study Law ‘Across The River’
7 Exes Enter Harvard ‘B’ School
Problems of student unrest at

but seven of eight A&M gradu

A&M to attend the Cambridge,
Mass., institution. Burford, who
completed his bachelor degree in
history at A&M in three years
(including summers), is enrolled
in Harvard law school. He had
been accepted earlier for law
study at Midwestern University.
An A&M official who repre
sents Harvard here said accept
ance of seven graduates of any
university during one year to the
renowned business school is
unique. Enrollment is limited to
850 a year and a large percentage
come from many foreign coun
tries, he added.
“Harvard believes this cosmo
politan makeup is essential,” the
official explained.

studying for the M.B.A. at Har
vard.

Persons abusing check-cashing
privileges on the Texas A&M
campus will pay increased “hot
check” handling charges under
a new policy of the Fiscal Office.
“We want to maintain check
cashing services and at the same
time cut down on abuses of the
privilege,” noted R. Clark Diebel.
The comptroller of accounts in
dicated the new policy, which be
came effective last Monday, is
designed to discourage or elimi
nate habitual hot check passers.
He said the Fiscal Office has
$5,000 in uncollected hot checks.
During the summer, the office
received 742 bad checks.
An increased fee of $3 will be
charged persons who pay off bad
checks within 10 days, the offi
cial announced.
Diebel said offenders will be
notified three times by mail of
returned checks. The first two
mailings will be followed by five-
day reply periods each.
The handling charge will in
crease to $5 upon the third notice,
which will be by certified mail.
Hot check writers will have 10
days after receipt of the certified
letter to make restitution, by cash,
cashiers check or money order.
“Law requires only the certi
fied mail. Hot check writers will
have 10 days after receipt of the
certified letter to make restitu
tion, by cash, cashiers check or
money order.
“Law requires only the certi
fied mail notice,” Diebel pointed
out.
Cases of unanswered third no
tice will go to authorities for col
lection.

A memorial to Texas A&M
students who died while in mili
tary service since World War II
is nearing completion at the
university.
Located between the east and
west wings of Duncan Dining
Hall in the Corps of Cadets area,
the meditation garden will be
the first A&M memorial erected
to the war dead in nearly 20
years.
The memorial was designed by
Prof. Robert H. Rucker, who
serves as landscape architect for
the campus.
Rucker expects the memorial,
except for the name plaques, to
be ready before classes start
Sept. 15.
A Corps of Cadets project, it
will be financed by the classes of
1969, 1970, 1971 and 1972, Rucker
said.
The 10-foot by five-foot me
morial stone is centered in a
meditation garden surrounded by
ligustrums. The bronze memorial
plaques are designed and being
built by Ben Hardeman of College
Station.
Hardeman said the plaques will
be in sections with each dead
man’s rank, name and class in
cluded. He projects his work will
be completed by Oct. 10.
About 300 names will be includ
ed, with space available to add
names.
Cadet Col. Matthew R. Carroll,
1969-70 Corps commander,

names to be placed on the meiM
rial plaque.
Carroll’s list is to be takei
from Association of Former Stu
dents records of those men wh
died in Korea, Vietnam and whil
serving at any time since Work
War II.
Corps Adviser Malon J. South
erland said the memorial wi
probably be dedicated during on
of the three home football gam
weekends this fall.

Statement of Purpose for the Campus
Ministry at Texas A&M University
Texas A&M University is concerned with the total develop
ment of its students. The encouragement of spiritual growth
is highly important in this program of total development for
those who come here seeking an education.
There are many faiths represented among the students,
faculty and staff members who comprise the University com
munity. Our campus ministry is called upon to stimulate spir
itual growth among the members of the University community
as they search for more meaningful direction in their lives, ac
cording to their particular faiths. This task is accomplished
through various types of worship, programming, and personal
counseling, which we know as the campus ministry.
In a spirit of close harmony, the campus ministry assists
the University in its educational program by helping members
of the various faiths represented to become more sensitive to
their responsibilities in the economic, political and social world.
In so doing, the campus ministry performs the vital duty of
demonstrating the close relationship between religious faith
and worthy citizenship.
A program such as this requires continuous communica
tion between the various faiths represented and the University.
Effective communication assures each student the opportunity
to hold fast to his faith while studying here, thus laying
groundwork for continued spiritual growth in the years to
follow.
