‘More Here Than Ever Before 9
21 Have Army Scholarships
Amy ROTC scholarship enroll
ment here has hit a new peak
this fall, announced Col. Jim H.
McCoy, commandant.
There are 121 cadets studying
under Army scholarships this
(Continued from page 1)
in mobile home parks at that
time, 82 per cent were students.
“The rapid increase in the
number of spaces being provided
for mobile homes in the last two
years in this area indicates that
an apparent need exists. This is
also evident in the number of
parks having no vacancy,” the
report found.
The study further revealed that
a lack of listings in the telephone
directory and lack of advertise
ments in news media “indicated
they (the mobile home park oper
ators) do not have to seek cus
tomers.
The study concluded that fur
ther inquiry needed to be made
into the possibility of renting mo
bile homes to students.
“It must be remembered, “the
report warned, “that the low-
priced (apartments) units which
are available are certainly not
reserved for university students.

year, a 34 per cent increase over
last fall. McCoy noted the uni
versity had a 58 scholarship ca
det enrollment in 1967-68.
Texas leads all states in num
ber of high school graduates
or College Station are also look
ing for the same rental hous
ing.”
Where does the university stand
on this issue ?
“It is the official policy of
Texas A&M to depend primarily
upoi> the private sector of Bryan
and College Station to provide
the major portion of housing for
married students,” the report
said.
Developers who are reluctant
to provide housing might be en
couraged to build if there were
closer communications between
the university and the communi
ties, the study added.
Howard Vestal, director of
management services, said today
that the university had a “tacit”
agreement with private builders
that the institution would not
build housing units for married
students so long as the demand
was met by private enterprise.
He added that he personally
knew of no one at the university
awarded four-year ROTC grants
and of this number, 39—or about
two-thirds—are A&M freshmen.
“The Army is awarding more
scholarships each year,” McCoy
said, “and Texas A&M is getting
who was dissatisfied with the
number of units private builders
had constructed.
“And I personally know of no
case in which a student could
not come to this school because
he couldn’t find a place to live,”
Vestal said.
The report suggested that the
university’s housing policy ought
to be “reviewed in depth” and
“changed substantially, if not to
tally.”
“It must be remmebered that
growth in student population at
this university is limited to the
number which can be adequately
housed either by the university
or by the community. The current
limits of both sources have been
reached and there is literally no
where else to live,” the report
said.
The 1970 National Airlines
Open golf tournament will be held
at the Country Club of Miami
next March 26-29.
its share.”
The 121 Army scholarship ca
dets include 20 new two-year
awards made to upperclassmen
this fall. Even in this category,
there is an increase over the
number of 1968-69 two-year
grants awarded.
The Military Science Depart
ment screens two-year grant
candidates and makes the award,
with Department of the Army
approval.
Four-year scholarships are
awarded on a competitive basis
to high school students before
they enroll in college. The grant
can be used by the student at any
of the 270 colleges and universi
ties offering the four-year Army
ROTC program.
“It is significant that A&M
enrolls these students from all
over the country,” McCoy said.
Each scholarship pays for tui
tion, textbooks, lab fees and pro
vides a $50 per month subsist
ence allowance. If the subsist
ence is applied to room and board,
most scholarship cadets can just
about break even financially,
spokesman for the commandant’s
office pointed out.
Upon graduation and success
ful completion of the Army
ROTC program, scholarship ca
dets are commissioned second
lieutenants in the Regular and
U. S. Army Reserve and serve
at least four years active duty.

An experimental fire truck
that pumped an average 2,350
gallons per minute in tests has
been received at A&M’s Firemen
Training School.
The $34,000 unit was delivered
Thursday by Dean Hoover, project
engineer for the John Bean Divi
sion of FMC Corp., Tipton, Ind.
It will be used by the school
for research at A&M and on-the-
job at various cities throughout
Texas.
Chief Instructor Henry D.
Smith and his staff wrote the
specifications. Funds for the
only-one-of-its-kind pumper were
appropriated by the Texas Legis
lature to the fire school, part of
the Texas Engineering Extension
Service.
Smith’s staff worked two years
writing the specifications.
They think the pumper will be
the answer to the growing prob
lem of getting a lot of water to
a fire where there is a minimum
of manpower, trucks or water
sources.
Instructor John R. Rauch ex
plained this is a real factor in
big cities where residential and
commercial areas are growing
faster than the city utility lines.
One man can operate the
pumper, which has the capability
of producing as many gallons per
minute as three average fire
trucks, Rauch pointed out.
Instead of the normal 2 1 /i-inch
intake and outlet, the A&M
pumper has a 6-inch intake and
6-inch outlet feeding a 6-inch
hose. The hose feeds a manifold
that will distribute the water to
eight hand lines.
The manifold is currently being
designed by the Firemen Train
ing School staff. It will be
mounted on a platform at the
rear of the truck and can be
dropped off at the scene of the
fire.
The pumper will then go to the
fire hydrant and Rauch estimated
it would be effective at least a
half-mile from the manifold.
Hoover said the pumper re
ceived a 1,750 gallons per minute
rating by the Underwriters
Laboratory, which tested the
truck at Tipton.
Most modern fire trucks pump
a maximum of 750 gpm, Rauch
noted.
One problem encountered in the
design was that no U. S. firms
manufactured 6-inch flexible hose.
However, it is now available from
an East Coast distributor.
The truck is 26 feet long, nine
feet high, eight feed wide and
weighs 31,250 pounds, less equip
ment. It is powered by a 350
horsepower V-8 diesel engine
manufactured by Detroit Diesel,
and it has full power steering.
