Campus Names
Corps seniors given
13 ROTC awards
Robert Falk, a senior engineering major from Conroe has won a
$750 scholarship from the Society of American Military Engineers.
Falk was named the scholarship recipient at the Wednesday night
meeting of the Texas A&M University society post.
The Texas A&M SAME chapter was presented with the Distin
guished Student Post Award. Gen. Andrew T. Rollins, an engineering
consultant for the Alaskan Pipeline, spoke on the construction of the
pipeline.
Rollins presented the check to Falk, a member of Squadron Four of
the Corps of Cadets.
The scholarship is awarded based on need and individual merit.
Potential recipients must submit an application and be members of
the post in good standing.
Applicants are then screened by the post board, said Maj. Gary
Cooper, a board member.
“I was nervous when I first appeared before the board,” said Falk,
“I didn’t know whether I would make it or not.’ Falk said he paid
most of his college expenses on his own. He said he had to work
during the summer and sometimes during the school year in order to
do so. After graduation Falk plans to get his master’s degree and
enter the Air Force on a delayed enlistment program. There he hopes
to be involved with engineering research and development.
The Distinguished Student Post Award was given to Texas A&M’s
chapter by the national post in New York City. The award is based on
the overall membership of the student post and the number of ac
tivities it has for its members.
Mike Barringer, president of the Texas A&M post, accepted the
award. It is the eighth time in 10 years Texas A&M has received the
award, of which five are given out annually.
Barringer said, “It makes everyone feel good to get this kind of
award. We probably get it more than any other student post in the
country. That’s probably due to the activites, such as field trips, that
we have for our memberss.” He said last year the post made trips to
Virginia and to the NASA center in Houston.
Thirteen seniors in the Corps
of Cadets have been named Dis
tinguished Air Force ROTC stu
dents.
The distinction recognizes ex
cellence in summer camp per
formance, grades in aerospace
studies or the student’s academic
major, and evaluation of instruc
tors.
Cited were Alberto D. Cuel
lar of Laredo, Robert L. East of
Marshall, Mark A. Gable of Bel
ton, Craig E. Gontarek of
Richardson, Stephen D. Green-
wade of Dallas, and Lee G.
Haefner of Mankato, Minn.

Hryhorchuk of Bridge City,
Michael K. Inman of San An
tonio, Thomas E. Muschalek of
New Braunfels, Bill G. Ridgway

Christopher Kent Mantooth
graduated from Texas A&M Univer-:
sity’s Moody College last May and
immediately went to work as one of
the best-paid members of America’s
class of 1978.
H e was different from a lot of
graduates. Mantooth had a job in
the bag.
His base pay for the first year will
be in the $30,000 range. With a lit
tle overtime, he could gross be
tween $3,000 and $4,000 a month.
Mantooth is not an engineer or a
petroleum geologist. He signed on
as third mate aboard the Cove
Trader, a large tanker ship.
The Metairie, La., native
graduated from the Texas Maritime
Academy, a part of Moody College,
entering a buyer’s job market,
“The maritime fields are wide
open,” said the superintendent of
the Texas Maritime Academy, Adm.
Kenneth G. Haynes. “Starting
salaries for new graduates are often
in the $25,000 bracket annually.

The greatest demand is for
graduates who are licensed to go to
sea, he added. However, the oppor
tunities are not limited to
deepwater shipping. Other oppor
tunities are growing as a result of
the burgeoning offshore oil drilling
industry along te Gulf of Mexico.
The offshore energy industry is an
open field, the admiral said. In
creasingly it has become necessary
to license all people who operate
commercial vessels at sea. For that
reason, there will he a growing de
mand for maritime graduates who
want to work in offshore drilling op
erations, he said.
“There is a training demand, an
education demand, a people de
mand — right now 3,000 people
could be added to the Gulf Coast
offshore shipping industry' from de
ckhands to captains,” said Haynes.
Haynes, who joined the Texas
Maritime Academy in June after
serving 35 years in the U.S. Navy,
said the academy “is fully sub
scribed, limited only by living
space.”
More than 140 cadets live aboard
the training ship, Texas Clipper,
which serves as a dormitory while in
port and 70 more live in Moody Col
lege dormitories. There are 25
women cadets.
