Luedecke welcomes
freshmen to A&M
“You make the decision on
your own destiny,” Texas A&M
President A. R. Luedecke told
2,000 new students at the univer
sity’s welcome program Wednes
day night.
“The four or more years you
are here come out of your lives.
And it comes out of ours,” Lue
decke said. “We do not want to
waste our years.”
He told the freshmen and
transfer students that working
towards a good education must
be “priority number one” while
at Texas A&M.
“Don't blow it,” he cautioned.
The former Air Force major
general pointed out the students
already know A&M’s standards
and rules.
“You know what to expect
from us,” he said.
Luedecke noted one Aggie tra
dition is A&M graduates become
leaders in the community and
nation.
He suggested the students use
wisely their talents “since we
have to live the rest of our life
with what you do.”
He cautioned against abuse of
the student government.
“You want to be graduates of
the best university. We want to
run the best,” the 1932 Texas
A&M graduate remarked.
Luedecke added the university
administration is interested in
students, and competent. The
faculty is capable and dedicated
and the student body “is dedicat
ed to making Texas A&M the
best,” he said.
Earlier in the program A&M
Student Senate President Kent
Caperton asked the responsible
and dedicated students to take
an active part in A&M’s many
activities.
“Too many irresponsible stu
dents have become active leaders
on too many campuses,” Caper-
ton said.
He claimed extremists have
been active too long while the
rest of the students sat back and
failed to become involved in the
things they believe in.
“Texas A&M is depending on
you in the future,” Caperton de
clared.
President Luedecke also ad
dressed the new faculty and staff
orientation meeting Wednesday
afternoon.
Fall semester classes began at
8 a.m. Monday at the university.
cooperation of many large com
panies and institutions, this will
all happen in “Oceanus” at the
State Fair of Texas.
“Oceanus,” the theme exhibit
of this year’s Fair, Exposition
of the Seven Seas, has been co
ordinated by Dick Potticary, of
the State Fair staff, and Mrs.
Leatha Miloy of the Sea Grant
program at Texas A&M Univer
sity. It will be housed in the
New Dimensions Pavilion.
Many displays are being made
especially for “Oceanus” by the
Texas A&M oceanographic de
partment, who is co-sponsoring
the exhibit. A mobile-like pro
duction of a food-chain showing
how fish obtain their food at dif
ferent levels of the ocean, an ex
hibit on the Antarctic explaining
the geology of a glacier, and
Mariculture, the shrimp raising
and harvesting exhibit, will be
displayed through the coopera
tion of Texas A&M.
Rear Admiral O. D. Waters, Jr.
and Captain Robert M. Hartman
will represent the United States
Navy Department of Oceanogra
phy at “Oceanus” opening cere
monies on October 10. The Navy
has contributed many large dis
plays, including the Ocean Van,
a 40-foot traveling exhibit which
tells the story of oceanography.
Ten other models and displays
are being provided by the Navy.
These include a two-thirds scale
mock-up model of the Seacliff,
the submarine Fair visitors can
“drive.” Whoever takes the helm
will see the oceanic road in front
of him by means of a projected
image.
Contributions from the United
States Department of the Interi
or include an exhibit on marine
geology and one on fish-protein
concentrate. The Interior De
partment and General Electric
are loaning a cut-away model of
Tektite II, the underwater lab
oratory in which three women
research scientists recently lived
and worked.
The National Science Founda
tion is sending a large exhibit
on the Glomar Challenger, a
deep-sea drilling project. A map
of the Atlantic Ocean floor is
the contribution of the National
Geographic Society.
Students from various univer
sities have designed “wayout but
practical” futuristic underwater
models. These will be shown
through the courtesy of Armco
Steel Company, which helps the
students obtain patent rights for
their models, some of which are
in use now. Among these will
be the underwater hotel, an un
derwater oyster production sys-

Foundation awards
$866,000 grant
GALVESTON — The Moody
Foundation has awarded an
$866,000 grant to the Marine
Biomedical Institute, a joint en
deavor of Texas A&M University
and the University of Texas
Medical Branch.
MBI officials said the grant
from the Galveston foundation
will provide half of the institute’s
operating budget for the next
three years.
Texas A&M and UTMB estab
lished the facility here last year
to “advance man’s knowledge of
the marine environment and use
the knowledge to enhance the
practice of medicine in all en
vironments.”
Research programs at MBI, of
ficials noted, will eventually en
compass five general areas: man
and the sea, comparative and
behavioral research, environmen
tal health and marine pharma
cology, developmental and ge
netic stuides and bionics.
The first two programs will be
initiated this year, with the oth
ers scheduled for activation by
1977. Laboratories for the first
three teams of scientists are be
ing prepared on the UTMB cam
pus. Other facilities are located
on the Texas A&M campus.
The educational aspects of the
institute are being operated in
cooperation with the graduate
programs of UTMB and Texas
A&M.
The two institutions hosted a
reception for members of the
Moody family and presented
resolutions from their governing
boards expressing appreciation
for the financial support.
Texas A&M was represented
by Dr. A. D. Suttle Jr., vice pres
ident for research. UTMB was
represented by its president, Dr.
Truman G. Blocker Jr.
tern, and an underwater nuclear
power station. Also a complete
underwater city, designed at the
Illinois Institute of Technology,
will be on display.
Oil related companies, through
the cooperation of the Energy,
Research, and Education Foun
dation will show models of drill
ing vessels and rigs, and demon
strate their application to ocean
ography. Participating oil com
panies are: The Offshore Com
pany, Dresser Industries, Wilson
Industries, Le Tourneau, Humble
Oil Company, and Compagnie
Francaise Des Petroles.
A working model of how air
is pumped into a sunken vessel
to bring it to the ocean’s surface
will be donated by Murphy Pa
cific Salvage Company. Law
rence Electronics will provide
models of underwater detection
equipment, and skindiving equip
ment will be shown by the Hew-
itt-Robins Company.
Potticary has attended major
oceanographic meetings and has
visited many companies connect
ed with oceanography in his
search for interesting exhibits
for “Oceanus.” He finds his
work extremely interesting and
educational. “There is a vast
amount of study going on in the
field of oceanography,” he said.
“Because it is a virtually unex
plored frontier there is no end
to the fascinating research being
done now and that will be done
in the future.”
ID card embossing
done till Wednesday
Identification cards for board
students will be embossed through
Wednesday in the main dining
area of Sbisa Dining Hall from
10:15 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. each day,
according to Food Services Direc
tor Fred Dollar.
