Rudder Hit Straight to the Point
By Billy Buchanan
Battalion Staff Writer
General Earl Rudder was an
outspoken man.
A number of times he bluntly
stated his views about the re
sponsibilities of the university,
its students, and faculty.
In 1968, he promised a hard-
nosed fight to any would-be
troublemakers at Aggieland.
“They will have a hell of a
fight,” Rudder told A&M’s Future
Farmers of America chapter that
year. “And this pot-bellied presi
dent will be in the front ranks
leading it.”
He told the future farmers that
he would use whatever force nec
essary to keep A&M’s educational
processes continuing smoothly.
“We must meet their power
with power if they threaten our
society,” Rudder said of those
persons who would attempt to
disrupt campus activities.
As late as last fall he told key
cadet corps officers that the
Corps of Cadets will be the No. 1
target of “kooks, anti-militarists
and just plain lousy Americans
this year.”
“I guarantee you won’t walk
alone” in meeting the attack of
the dissidents, Rudder reassured
the cadets. Classes will not be in
terrupted at A&M by a noisy
minority, he pleaded.
Rudder’s thoughts on long
haired students and bearded pro
fessors were well known.
“Long-haired, sandaled and
bearded students are just seeking
a means of identification that
they can’t get any other way,”
he said.
“A prof who wears a beard in
the classroom is just trying to
substitute a beard for knowledge,”
he added.
Always having great confidence
in A&M students, he reaffirmed
his faith in them at All Univer
sity night last September.
“I predict the greatest year in
the history of A&M,” he said,
“mainly because you’ll make it
so.” He added that while stu-
His Loss Will Be Remembered
(Continued from page 1)
students, said that everyone was
“deeply distressed at Rudder’s
death.”
“I had hoped that after the
seven-week ordeal of his family
that he was pulling out,” Hanni-
gan said. “I am sincerely shock
ed.”
Tony Bendedetto, president of
the Graduate Student Council,
said that the loss of Rudder was
the loss of a “true friend and
champion of students.”
Student Senate president Gerry
Geistweidt said that Rudder “was
the best friend the students had
in the administration.”
“I always appreciated the fact,”
Geistweidt said,” “that he gave
straight answers—he never tried
to dodge a question. He had done
a heck of a lot for the university
and the students. I believe that
A&M can’t help but be hurt by
his loss.
Mac Spears, president of the
Memorial Student Center Coun
cil and Directorate, said that Rud
der’s death was a “tremendous
loss to the whole system, A&M in
particular.”
“A&iM made some extremely
progressive changes while Presi
dent Rudder was here and A&M
was made into a real university.
The students have lost a real
friend. President Rudder always
played it straight. I can’t imag
ine who could take his place.”
Mark Olson, president of the
Civilian Student Council, said that
A&M had lost a leader, an ad
ministrator, a concerned Ameri
can, but most important a friend.”
“Few people had the opportu
nity to work closely with Presi
dent Rudder in student affairs,”
Olson said. “Those who did unr
derstood his real concern for the
student. His door was always
open and he was always willing
not only to listen to students, but
to stand for them.”

dents on other campuses were
complaining about the Vietnam
war, Aggies donated their blood
and went without a meal to feed
Vietnamese orphans.
“Many people have tried to ex
plain what makes an Aggie dif
ferent,” Rudder said. “Perhaps
the answer is that we go about
the business of going to school.”
He felt that a student at A&M
was judged by his scholastic rec
ord and in the annual freshman
edition of the Battalion, urged
new students, to begin an out
standing record the first day on
campus.
“The difference in outstanding
success, mediocrity or failure for
the student is determined, largely
by the student,” he said. “We
hope that you will accept schol
astic achievement as your primary
mission while at Texas A&M.”
In 1967, he told the graduating
seniors of Bryan’s Stephen F.
Austin High School, “Flames of
crime are fanned by advocates of
an ill-advised philosophy that
there is a moral obligation to
obey some of the laws some of
the time, but not all of the laws
all of the time.”
Rudder said he believed in the
right to protest but added that
“when (protest ferments disorder,
disrespect for the law, and vio
lence, it is not only self-defeating
but it also cracks the foundation
of our free nation.”
When the Gold Medal for Citi
zenship was presented to him in
1965 by the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, Rudder said, “I deplore
the thinking that we should get
out of Vietnam. Why shouldn’t we
be fighting for the freedom we
all love so much?”
No one was prouder of athletics
in general and the athletic pro
gram at A&M than Rudder.
“Twelve years as a football
player and coach convinced me
of the importance of athletics,”
he said at a Poinsettia Classic
Basketball Tournament program,
last year.
“Intercollegiate athletics are
important to Texas A&M for two
fundamental reasons. A&M’s
avowed goal is total excellence,
and one of the most publicized
areas of the university. Also,
athletics teaches the basic re
quirements of discipline, self-sac
rifice and teamwork which are
necessary for success in any
field,” he said.
