Page 4 College Station, Texas Thursday, October 15, 1970 THE BATTALION Duryea gains new insight on Yugoslavian journey A Texas A&M senior from Abi lene shed a host of ideas last summer in Putney, Vt., and Novi- sad, Belgrad, Sarajevo and Du brovnik, Yugoslavia. Eddie Duryea, who had lived and traveled most of his 21 years in Texas, participated in the Ex periment in International Living. “One thing I learned,” the ROTC unit commander said, “is that people in Yugoslavia are the same as they are here. “They think the same way, live the same way and have the same interests,” the marketing major explained. Duryea, 21, stayed busy meet ing and talking with people dur ing his six weeks overseas as a “junior ambassador” from the United States. He found that he and 10 other members of his EIL group could meet and handle crises, such as the possibility of getting stuck in Yugoslavia aft er missing a train. Experiences will assist Duryea in his last year at Texas A&M, during his tour as a commission ed Air Force officer and later life, he believes. At A&M, he commands the Ross Volunteers, elite honor mil itary unit, and Squadron 2. He is business chairman of Town Hall, Student Senate treasurer, a Cadet Court member and Abilene Hometown Club president. “I probably learned about as much in Putney as I did over seas,” the lanky cadet major commented, referring to the lan guage training and EIL orienta tion session in Vermont. There he studied Serbo-Croa tian two weeks, with Experiment ers from New York, Massachu setts, Minnesota, Georgia, Wis consin, Michigan, Missouri and North Carolina. Duryea stayed four weeks in Novisad, a city of 2,000 about 50 Rice yearbook different again HOUSTON <dP) — The 1969 an nual of Rice University made headlines across the country. That was the one with the nude pictures. The staff of the ’69 Campanile decided to do something different with the usual stiffly-posed pic tures of the man and woman voted by fellow students as out standing. So they asked them to pose in the nude, and the two did, thus creating a mini-furor which final ly died down after the school administration decided that if the student editors wanted nudes, they could have them. Now the 1970 university year book is out, and again with nudes. But the big news revolves around the total book, or books. There are five of them and they come with miscellaneous posters and a record, all packed neatly in a 10 by 10 inch box marked “Campanile 1970.” One of the Volumes features a picture of Adolph Hitler and Eva Braun in a cement-block shelter. The caption reads, “Welcome to Rice, Party School of the South west.” Each senior was given a 5 by 7 inch page in one of the books for a farewell message to Rice, and the Hitler picture was Howard Simm’s contribution. In another volume, each senior is shown in a series of pictures taken by one of those photograph- yourself booths found in bus sta tions and penny arcades. The staff rented the machine for the poses. One senior, Lloyd Johnson, ap peared nude except for a bottle. Another student has three con ventional poses, but with the fourth one a closeup of half of his exposed bottom. One bespectacled girl senior is pictured kissing the bare navel of an unknown male. miles north of Belgrad. His “fa ther,” a lawyer and member of the province legislature, was a prominent local official. His “mother,” professor of art in the University of Novisad, gave Dur yea the inside view during visits to art galleries. He lived with his “family,” including 16-year-old Pera, in an apartment house as do virtually all Yugoslavs. “There were no private homes that I saw,” Duryea said. “The apartment was comfortable and my ‘family’ was very good to me.” Meals, made from daily pur chases before breakfast, introduc ed Eddie to orange juice from Israel, yogurt and milk coffee (milk with coffee grounds mix ed in it) for breakfast, the na tional dish of ground beef in squares (“sort of a hamburger patty with onions”), large amounts of sausage and cheese, and plum brandy, the national drink. “My ‘mother’ was surprised that I thought Yugoslavia was behind the Iron Curatin,” Duryea commented. “They don’t consider themselves an Iron Curtain coun try, as we do.” After four weeks in Novisad, Duryea and his Experiment group toured the Wyoming-sized coun try. They went to Sarajevo, where Austrian Archduke Francis Fer dinand and his wife were assas sinated in 1914 and World War I started; Dubrovnik on the east ern shore of the Adriatic Sea, Brovinik, Split and Zagreb, sec ond largest city in Yugoslavia. Duryea and several other stu dents missed their train from Za greb for Brussels and the char ter flight back to the U. S. “The train station was packed so tight with people we could hardly move. Our second class tickets weren’t any good, but we got on a first-class train,” Dur yea said. “The conductor wouldn’t take our travelers checks. Then we found a man who would change them. “We made it to the plane on time, but I had visions of being left in Europe,” he grinned. BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING program was judged best engineering display at the Career Day held here last week-1 end. Second place in the competition went to Agricultural f ^ i Engineering, and Chemical Engineering and Nuclear En-1 gineering tied for third. Special pay bonus to be given recruits WASHINGTON <A>)_The Pen tagon hopes to lure recruits into signing up for the infantry and other combat jobs now given mostly to draftees by offering special bonuses when the military switches to an all-volunteer force. Under the proposed plan, men who chose the infantry, armor or artillery branches will be paid as much as $150 extra a month. This would virtually double the present pay of many American fighting men, already the highest paid in the world. “It’s a supertop-priority item and it’s on the front burner of all the services,” Roger T. Kelley, assistant secretary of defense for manpower, told a news conference Wednesday. The proposal is one of dozens being reviewed within the Penta gon for various ways to make military careers more attractive, Earlier this week, Secretary ol Defense Melvin R. Laird orderei the armed services to talee ra mediate steps for ending reliant! on the draft by July 1, ISIS. Kelly declared the armed sen- ices would go all out to “m«t or beat” that deadline. Military officials believe that whatever steps are taken, special incentives will be needed to get men to volunteer for combat signments. Pentagon figures show that 88 per cent of the riflemen — Hit grunts — in Vietnam last year were draftees.
