Nelson, the former Administrator of the University Hospital. After about 15 years of medical service to Texas A&M, Dr. Nelson has been forced to retire because he is too old at 65 years of age. If Dr. Nelson is too old, why was a 70 year old man hired for a position that he (Dr. Nelson) could have filled. As we under stand it, the new administrator wanted to “clean up the house.” We call it politics or favoritism. Not only was Dr. Nelson not offered another position, he was shown no gratitude for his many years of dedicated service or for his major role in the planning of the new hospital complex. It dis turbs us very much to know that this university has allowed this to happen. Thank you, Dr. Nelson, for your kindness and service. We know the students won’t forget.

We realize it is probably too late to do anything about the parking lot being built beside the administration building, but w e urge that the administration start consulting student leaders in such decisions and policies. Actually there is a need for a student on the Future Planning Committee, the Athletic Committee, and most important, on the Board of Direc tor’s—since they must approve all decisions. This is not the first time for this to happen, as we had a similar feeling about the parking lot adjacent to the YMCA.

Many days the earth gas had you, ‘Ere we heard your wretched fate. Yet in honor still salute you, For we know ’tis ne’er too late. Long before your family gathered; Watched the earth take back her own. Now we gather Aggie brother, Here to see you safely home. Death steps marching from the distance, Heartbeat rhythm mocks the pace. We are mourning death untimely, Though we’ve never seen your face. Minds are linked in great tradi tion. Rifles aimed toward the sky, Trumpets say your day is ended. Silver Taps, the last goodbye.

C. A military plane reported Dawn’s transformation into the season’s third hurricane, fore casters at the National Hurricane Center here said. They said it could pose a threat to the main land late Friday or Saturday. Trackers said Dawn was drift ing on a north-northwestwardly course towards the U. S. mainland at between 10 and 15 miles per hour. Prior to its maturity, Dawn had been skimming the Atlantic at about 25 m.p.h., and heading toward Bermuda. Its forward speed was stunted, forecasters said, when it achieved the 75 m.p.h. hurricane strength. “It finally made it,” said fore caster Neil Frank in announcing Dawn’s hurricane status. “Its north-northwest turn means to portions of the northwestern United States late tomorrow or Saturday. Frank said forecasters expected Dawn to make another turn back onto its original north-northeast track in about 18 hours.
