PORTRAIT OF
A YOUNG MAN
UPTIGHT
It’s not hard to get that
way, you know. All it takes is
a wife, a kid, mounting respon
sibilities, inadequate planning
and you’re racked up. 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.

jors in the department,” said
Glazener, who noted the two op
tions accounted for a majority
of the former department’s en
rollment.
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.

Flag Football League
To Organize
The Bryan-College Station Jun
ior Flag Football League for boys

need of coaches, according to
Larry Stelly, league organizer.
Coaches are needed for two to

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. Jimmy
Neal, president of the Physical
Education Club, will preside at
the meeting.

Harold Carter, System Physical
Plant manager.
Carter said the mall is a beau
