A noted wildlife biologist from Michigan will open a Distin guished Lectureship Series today, according to Dr. C. L. Leinweber, head of the Department of Range Science. The seminar presentation and lecture is the first in a series scheduled to run through April and will include eight speakers on different topics of natural re source management. Dr. George A. Petrides, profes sor of fisheries and wildlife at Michigan State University, will make two formal talks today in addition to being available for informal meetings with inter ested persons. A seminar at 4 p.m. is sched uled for scientists in the fields of natural resource management and the lecture scheduled for 8 p.m. is for the general public and is titled “Ecological Prob lems in Nature Preservation.” Both speeches will be in Room 12 Plant Sciences. The speaker is a native of New York and served as an associate professor at A&M from 1948-60. He has been at MSU since that time. Recognition of his profes sional abilities has come from such sources as the National Park Service, New York Zoological So ciety and the Ford Foundation. He has published articles on the ecology of birds and mammals and has served as the Executive Secretary of the American Wild life Society. He was twice a Fulbright Scholar. The lectureship series will con tinue on Dec. 11-12 with Dr. A. W. Kuchler of the University of Kansas and will feature six more speakers during the next five months. “We hope to have a hardback book come out of this series,” Dr. Leinweber said. He explained that the series will be divided into six parts: classification and utilization of land resources, man and his en vironment, geographic and flor- istic affinities, watersheds, tim- berland grazing and selection and breeding of native plants. “At this time when there is great competition for land use, a series such as this is very perti nent,” Dr. Leinweber remarked. He added that any staff mem ber wishing to talk informally with a series speaker can make arrangements with either Dr. Leinweber or Dr. Robert G. Mer- rifield, head of the Department of Forestry. The two depart ments are jointly sponsoring the lectureship series. Teague Commends Students For A&M’s Memorial Garden Remarks citing Texas A&M students’ efforts resulting in the Memorial Meditation Garden have been read by Congressman Olin E. Teague into the Congressional Record of the 91st Congress. Dedicated Nov. 8 at Duncan Hall in the Cadet Corps area, the memorial honors 325 A&M men who sacrificed their lives for the U.S. in Korean and Viet nam conflicts and military serv ice since World War II. “It is a beautiful place,” the 1932 A&M graduate said, “a quiet and inspiring place, a tribute to our dead and a living memorial to the spirit of Texas A&M which has made such a distinguished and continuing contribution to the safety and preservation of our nation, and to the mainten ance of the liberty of its citi zens.” A&M student power reflected in the memorial contrasts mark edly with that of other institu tions, the House of Representa tives member said. “It has been totally construc- SPec/kL5 FOR: TtftSRS - F-R I v SAT DSC. 4-5 +k, /?£<? //PAcVxo P'/vrv Copr.

Sobriety and responsibility, un fortunately, are not the mate rials of which headlines are made,” he remarked. Teague suggested that other universities could use a great deal more of the spirit and men tal discipline of A&M students. “The campuses of the nation could well use a strong infusion of the diversity and the mental and physical individualism that I find at Texas A&M. “They could also well use a great deal more of the patriot ism and the reverence for total sacrifice which motivated the creation of this beautiful Memo rial Meditation Garden,” he stat ed.
