So make financial security your thing. Start to plan now for it— iy investing in a life insurance program that will expand as your needs do. The earlier you start, the less it costs, and the more security you’ll have a chance to build. ■. ~ i, Gordon B.

The other part of the previous academic unit became the new Industrial Education Department in the recently-organized College of Education. Glazener indicated the engi neering technology faculty con sists of seven members, includ ing newly assigned assistant pro fessor Dr. Don A. Rice, Hereford native who received his Ph.D. at the University of Missouri last spring. Dr. Clint A. Bertrand, associate professor and faculty member since 1953, coordinates the de partment’s industrial technology programs. The department head noted Rice, who is a specialist in industrial technology and dis tribution, has been made coordi nator of the academic phase of the latter. Other engineering technology faculty members include Dr. Daryle W. iMorgan, assistant pro fessor with background in engi neering technology and degrees from Utah and Missouri, and Dr. Ralph J. Vernon, associate pro fessor. Vernon’s specialty is oc cupational health and safety. His degrees are from Clemson, A&M and Iowa. Electricity and electronics is the field of William F. Smith and Jon F. Botsford specializes in metals technology. Both are de partment instructors. Rice preceded study at West Texas State and Missouri with ex perience as a jorneyman electri cian. He has 10 years experience in industrial construction, resi dential wiring and administration and maintenance of automatic controls. Pentagon Paper Defends ROTC, Calls for Greater Participation WASHINGTON '^ — Defend ing military training on college campuses, a special Pentagon re port said Friday elimination of the ROTC program would de crease civilian influence within the national defense system. The report, answering campus criticisms and recommending continuation of ROTC, called up on colleges and universities to play stronger roles in Reserve Officer Training Corps affairs. The 61-page document was drawn up by six college educators and three senior military officers. Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird ordered the review last spring in the wake of mounting dissent over ROTC. The committee conceded that its study came during a period of “unprecedented faculty and stu dent opposition to ROTC.” Three Ivy League schools — Harvard, Dartmouth and Columbia — have taken steps to curtail or drop ROTC completely. The committee rejected one campus argument outright, that concerning military influence. The panel asserted that officer education on civilian campuses “strengthens our traditional ci vilian participation in and influ ence upon the military,” whereas other training approaches “yield more to domination by the mili tary organization acting on its own. “Indeed, insofar as some critics fear ‘militaristic’ influence in the national defense system, opposi tion to ROTC is singularly in appropriate—its abolition would decrease civilian influence.” The committee said ROTC is in the national interest as a means of procuring half the regular officers in the service, and recommended the program be strengthened and improved rather than dropped. Inviting further dialogue on the matter, the Pentagon’s man power chief, Roger T. Kelley, at a news conference urged a care ful digesting of the report by university and college faculty members. The report recommended ap propriate academic credit for ROTC courses, faculty status for the officer-instructors and con tinued wearing of uniforms and military drilling on campus. ,ir TOM ES JO-9: te on .ted S d GOT YOURS YET? Dr. Neckers to Speak To Chemical Society Dr. Douglas C. Neckers of Hope College will speak at the first meeting Wednesday of the Texas A&M Section of the American Chemical Society.

Neckers’ talk will be on “Ad ditions to Heteroaromatic Mole cules.” Recent studies of photo chemical reactions involving he teroaromatic molecules show that sensitized and direct irradiation provide an easy route to forming new molecules. Flag Football League To Organize The Bryan-College Station Jun ior Flag Football League for boys between the ages of 6-12 is in need of coaches, according to Larry Stelly, league organizer. Coaches are needed for two to four sessions a week for a period of 45 minutes each. According to the schedule of the coach, train ing would be held between 3:30 and 6:30 Monday through Thurs day. The league has received some footballs from several schools in the area, but still needs money for more equipment. Both of the school superintendents in Bryan and College Station, O. A. Bowen and W. T. Reidel, have given their approval to the program. In College Station the league will hold practice at Lincoln School and Thomas Park on the James Parkway. Practice will be held in Bryan at Thomas Park next to the Allen Academy field, at Kemp High School, and at Henderson Park, on Palasota near Ben Milam. A meeting at 7:30 p.m. Thurs day in the Lutheran Student Center at North Gate will discuss organization of teams, health as pects, and football tactics.
