Intelligence units
on annual duty training
The 837th Military Intelligence
Detachment, Army Reserve unit
affiliated with Texas A&M, is
currently in two weeks annual
active duty training at Fort
Hood.
The unit commanded by Col.
James R. Bradley is conducting
an introductory course in auto
matic data processing for select
ed members of Project MASS-
TER (Mobile Army Sensor Sys
tem, Test Evaluation and Re
view).
Project MASSTER was devel
oped to test battlefield surveil
lance equipment for suitability
and determine the most effec
tive means of employing such
equipment.
The 837th is one of 52 units
of the Military Intelligence
branch of the U. S. Army. Small
units with authorized strength
of three officers and four en
listed men, they are composed
of personnel generally associated
with a large industry or univer
sity who have specialized skills.
“It is thus possible for these
people to fulfill their reserve
obligation or continue in the re
serve program, utilizing civilian
skills and giving the Army the
benefit of this specialized knowl
edge,” explained Bradley, head
of the Industrial Economics Re
search Division at Texas A&M.
The area assigned to the 837th
Military Intelligence Detachment
is in automatic data processing.
It is the only intelligence detach
ment with such a mission.
The unit has conducted orien
tation courses in data processing
for the Office of the Assistant
Chief of Staff for Intelligence
in the Pentagon. Studies of data
processing requirements for va
rious offices under the Assistant
Chief of Staff for Intelligence
have been made and pilot com
puter systems have been de
signed and implemented.
Members of the 837th train
ing at Hood with Colonel Brad
ley are Capt. Robert Bower Jr.,
A&M Data Processing Center di
rector; Lt. Daniel L. Galvin, cen
ter systems analyst; CWO Bart
ley E. Braden, Spec. 7 Clyde J.
Porterfield, Spec. 5 Johnny J.
Fazzino, Spec. 4 Weldon E. Jor
don and Spec. 4 John E. Tucker.
Personnel assigned in excess
of authorized strength are as
signed for training at the Penta
gon. These members, engaged in
compiling a history of the Mili
tary Intelligence branch of the
Army, are Lt. Col. James L.
Boone, A&M Industrial Educa
tion Department head; Maj. Al
lan C. Ashcraft, associate pro
fessor of history, and Spec. 4
Floren D. Eckert.
Another unit member, Maj.
Clarence R. Creger, poultry
science professor, will attend a
U. S. Army Reserve school later
this summer.

To the Editor:
The spring semester of 1970
saw many controversial issues
tossed about. Among them were
the Drill Field incident, the Elec
tion Commission ruling, and
Black Studies. We are sure there
will be further repercussions and
rulings on these or similar is
sues, and that all factions on the
campus will never be fully satis
fied. Yet on some of these is
sues the opposing forces met
each other in a strained atmos
phere and yet displayed respect
for each other and respect for
themselves.
It seems the only way that
students can be heard today with
any results is to have the re
spect of those opposing them.
A direct contradiction to gaining
this respect has been displayed
recently in Duncan Hall. That
is, several students on several
occasions have been displaying
no respect for fellow Ags by cut
ting in line.
This may seem trivial to some
but after being at Texas A&M
for a while you learn to live with
standing in lines; whether it be
a lunch line, registration line, or
whatever. You also learn to live
with fellow Ags and to respect
their rights. So instead of try
ing to get ahead why not show
that you care—by being an
Aggie.
Until these students gain
some manners and respect for
fellow Aggies they will never
gain the respect that all Aggies
deserve.
