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.
