She majored in political science

Aggies guard Lady Bird
Texas A&M graduates Charles Booth, Class of ’60, and
Shawn Campbell, Class of 76, were among the contingent of
Secret Service agents protecting former First Lady Mrs.
Lyndon Johnson during her visit last week to the Texas A&M
campus for judging in the annual highway beautification
award. Both Booth and Campbell are stationed in the Hous
ton field office of the Secret Service.
Campbell, who grew up in Hous
ton, feels fortunate to have stayed in
her hometown.
Booth grew up in the small town
of Lindale near Tyler and was the
only one of the 38 graduating
seniors to attend college. He chose
Texas A&M because it met two
criteria — a student could wear blue
jeans and no girls were allowed —
then.
Booth’s decided preference for
blue jeans over the required suit
and tie found a welcome haven on
the LBJ Ranch during his Johnson
duties when work shirts and jeans
became the attire for agents.

lie 350-pound panels rest on cas-
irs which make the units easy to
move, Boyce said. After they re
placed into the arrangement the
student wants, the wheels can be
locked into position.
The MAD units were also de
signed with sound-proofing and
ventilation in mind, Boyce said.
"One of the sides has carpet panels
to help cut down noise.
"They also allow for more ventila
tion than is possible in a fixed-wall
apartment, he said. “Since the
panels are only six feet high, it
leaves about two feet of space* for air
circulation.
The 90-unit complex plan will go
before the Texas A&M University
Board of Regents in September. If
approved, the units should be up
and housing students by the mid
term of 1980, he said.
T think the idea will be liked by
most of the students, Boyce said
optimistically. “It gives them total
control over the 538 square feet of
floor space in the apartment.

Dress requirements have been a

said. For example: escorting Mrs.
Truman through the supermarket
and trying to look like just another
shopper in a spiffy three-piece suit.
