Chatter of teletype keys will
cease to echo through the west
hall of the Memorial Student Cen
ter here April 30.
The Western Union office lo
cated there will close then.
Carmen F. Tax, manager of
the office since it was moved to
the MSC from the Exchange
Store in 1954, said the closing
“is purely a cost thing.”
“Operational overhead has
grown to where it’s losing prop
osition,” the 41-year Western
Union veteran commented. “The
high cost of operation has priced
us out of business.”
He said the service will be
transferred from the MSC to
Carroll’s Corner in the North
Gate business area as an agency
office. Telegraph service there,
as in the Bryan bus station, will
be a seven-day-a-week, after
hours operation.
The office will bow out with a
flourish, however. The closing
will coincide with the Southwest
Conference Track and Field Meet,
to be held April 30 and May 1 at
Kyle Field.
In 1965, the last time the con
ference meet was hosted by Texas
A&M, the Tax-managed telegraph
operation moved 25,000 words a
day for the two-day event.

“One of my greatest pleas
ures,” the president said, “has
been to meet and work with so
many students so soon. I’ve found
they’re easy to know. I feel we’ve
got a really good rapport with
the students, and I hope they
feel my office is someplace to go,
talk things over, and get action.”
Much of this, he said, is done
through Ed Cooper, who was
recently appointed special assis
tant for student affairs. Williams
described him as a “man who has
strength and vigor about him
when he moves.”
The president said he is proud
to be part of Texas A&M and
that he thinks A&M “has certain
ly exceeded every expectation I
had for the administration and
the excellence of the faculty.”
He said one of his biggest prob
lems now, aside from getting five
new extension stations going and
working on cooperative programs
with Baylor, is the money situ
ation.
He said the problem is a “tight
money situation for higher edu
cation all over the country as well
as in the state.” He described it
as one of the roughest times for
higher education in the last few
decades.

To be eligible to purchase the Texas
A&M University ring, an undergraduate
student must have at least one academic
year in residence and credit for ninety-five
(95) semester hours. The hours passed at
the preliminary grade report period on
March 15, 1971, may be used in satisfying
this ninety-five hour requirement. Students
qualifying under this regulation may now
leave their names with the ring clerk,
Room Seven, Richard Coke Building. She,
in turn, will check all records to determine
ring eligibility. Orders for these rings
will be taken by the ring clerk starting
April 1, 1971, and continuing through
May 7, 1971. The rings will be returned
to the Registrar’s Office to be delivered
on or about June 23, 1971. The ring
clerk is on duty from 8:00 a. m. to 12:00
noon, Monday through Friday, of each
week.

ture telegrams from the MSC of

for the 1968 Olympics, to Presi
dents Eisenhower, Kennedy and
Johnson and the Fish Drill team
in Washington, D. C., for national
championship competition.
The office formerly was lo

moved across from the west cam
pus entrance three years ago.
For several years, the campus
Western Union facility was situ
ated on the second floor of the
Exchange Store building.
“We were switching over from
the old Morse key to the tele
printer when the office was
moved to the MSC,” Tax said.
“At that time, our flow was 25
per cent automatic.”
It became fully automatic in
1955 and presently includes a
half dozen major pieces of equip
ment supervised by Tax.
“There’s never been a dull mo
ment,” he observed.
FDT will defend
drill title in Austin
COLLEGE STATION — Texas
A&M University’s Freshman
Drill Team, national champions
four straight years, will make
two appearances in Austin Sat
urday.
The all-freshman team will de
fend its three-straight Univer
sity of Texas Drill Competition
titles and present a special exhi
bition at the Junior League of
Austin 1971 Charity Ball Satur
day night.
A&M’s team, commonly called
the Fish Drill Team (FDT), won
the national title for the fourth
straight year two weeks ago dur
ing the National Intercollegiate
ROTC Drill Contest in Washing
ton, D.C.
They also took the top unit
award in the National Cherry
Blossom Festival Parade of Prin
cesses, that honor for the second
'straight year.
Ten college drill teams will
compete in the University of
Texas meet, with competition
running from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.
at the ROTC Building on the UT
campus.
Grading is in three phases
inspection, basic drill and fancy
drill. Awards are given for each
phase and there is a special
overall winner, that trophy won
by the Aggies the past three
years.
The FDT will appear at the
charity ball through the efforts
of Mrs. Charles L. Parker, ball
chairman.
Senior sponsor J. Malon South
erland said the team will march
at approximately 9 p.m. The
presentation is the same sequence
that won the team the national
title, he noted.

We don’t want automatons at
Provident Mutual.
We want people who think for themselves...
and who want to serve others.
A successful insurance agent is independent.
There’s no ceiling on his earnings. He has his
own clients. Makes his own decisions concerning
them. And since he is successful nobody argues
over his way of getting things done.
Consider this . . . 22% of our most
successful agents began learning and earning
