ans began to refer to Brown as “Mr.
Community Inprovement.
Despite a heavy work load, Brown
continued his studies, earning an
M.S. degree in sociology and an
M.E. degree in psychology.
The consolidation of school dis
tricts was a cause of deterioration
among small rural communities,”
Brown said. “There was an exodus of
young rural people to urban areas as
a result of small farms being merged
into large commercial farms.”
In 1962 Brown was a member of
the committee preparing a study for
the Board of Directors of the A&M
system. The late Gen. Rudder, then
president of the system, praised
Brown’s contribution in a letter of
appreciation that closed with:
Texas utilities companies assisted
TCIP with over $250,000 in cash
prizes for the improvement of the
general appearance, facilities and
services in participating, com
munities.
“In 1968 there were 312 com
munities with over 50,000 families
involved in the program,” Brown
said. “People went all out to make
their communities more attractive.”
A total of 750 community water
systems were created improving
health, fire protection and indus
trialization of the communities. Tex-
“The evident sincerity and se
riousness of purpose with which you
pursued the study make it a work of
lasting value to our institution. Your
study will become a point of refer
ence in all future development of
policies and programs for Texas
A&M College.”
In 1973, Gov. Dolph Briscoe
selected Brown to his present posi
tion as special assistant. Brown is re
sponsible for creation of jobs under
the “Texas First” program to reduce
unemployment.
He also represents Briscoe in all
agricultural matters. In 1974 he be
came “Governor’s representative for
liaison with county governments. ”

Rise and fall
Although time does not usually affect competitors who pole
vault, it was a factor for some of the vaulters at the College
Station Relays track meet which was held this past weekend.
The vaulting pit, located at the south end of Kyle Field, has
no lights and the sun almost fell below the horizon before all
of the contestants had a chance to make their own descent.

U.S. sends more supplies
to help Zaire repel invasion
United Press International
KINSHASA, Zaire — A second
shipment of emergency U.S. aid
was on its way to Zaire today to help
government troops fight an invasion
of the copper-rich Shaba province.
Officials denied reports of fresh
clashes in the area.
A jumbo jet loaded with $1.5 mil
lion worth of spare aircraft parts,
medical supplies, parachutes and
combat uniforms left New York’s
Kennedy Airport yesterday for the
former Belgian Congo. A similar
consignment w'as sent last week.
A government spokesman in
Washington said an additional re
quest from Zairean President
Mobutu Sese Seke w'as “being
studied by the State Department in
close consultation with the White
House. No weapons have been
supplied.
The insurgents crossed over from
Marxist-ruled Angola some two
weeks ago and captured several
towns and villages on Zaire’s south
western border with Angola.
The bulk of the invasion force, es
timated at around 1,500, is believed
to be remnants of the militia that
fought to sever the province, then
known as Katanga, away from Zaire
following independence in 1960.
Zaire has accused Angola, Cuba
and the Soviet Union of backing the
assault, but Cuban leader Fidel
Castro, who is on an extensive tour
of Africa, said in Mozambique the
allegations are false.
