‘Aren’t you sorta putting: th’ pressure on the team?”
Editor:
This letter is directed to the
person or persons responsible for
the retirement of Dr. Kenneth L.
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.

Editor;
The administration wants stu
dents to participate in student
government as a means of letting
their ideas be known. We feel
the administration has made a
major error in not consulting the
student government in the plan
ning stages of many of its policies
and projects. We feel that since
this university belongs to the
students as well as staff, they

should have significant input in
all areas.
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.

SILVER TAPS
Quiet now, the evening darkened,
We await the starting sound.
Staring forward, empty faces,
Like the visage of the drowned.
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.

Dawn Becomes Hurricane
East Of Cape Hatteras
MIAMI GP) — Tropical Storm
Dawn became a full-blown hur
ricane Thursday night as it mus
tered 80-mile-per-hour winds in
the Atlantic Ocean about 250
miles east of Cape Hatteras, N. 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.
