The Distinguished Alumnus award is conferred jointly by the University and the Associa tion of Former Students, the alumni organization. Brison retired from the faculty in 1964. He taught more than 8,000 students during his 40- year career and knew each of them by name, family and hometown. His honors include the National Distinguished Teacher of Horticul ture Award, given by the American Society of Horticultural Science in 1965; the Distinguished Service Award for Teaching, from Texas A&M in 1956; and the Outstanding Professor Award, from the College of Agriculture in 1961. Clayton, 50, is from Springlake and received a bachelor’s degree in agricultural economics from Texas A&M in 1950. He returned to the family farm in Lamb County and farmed for 12 years. In 1962, Clayton ran for a House seat, won handily and is now serving his ninth term in the House, representing District 74. He maintains a farming operation as his principal source of income. He was first elected speaker in 1975 and re-elected in 1977 and again this year. Clayton is the first person in Texas history to be elected to three consecutive terms as speaker. Heldenfels and his brothers or ganized a construction company in 1936, a year after his graduation from Texas A&M. The company has grown into one of the largest in the state. Heldenfels is an executive officer of three additional companies or ganized by the brothers: Heldenfels Farms at Beeville, Heldenfels Prop erties Inc. and Heldenfels Con struction Materials Inc. In 1961, he was appointed to the Texas A&M system board, serving 13 years, including from 1965 through 1967 as board chairman. He is a past-president of The Aggie Club and in 1977, a new sci ences classroom-laboratory building at Texas A&M was named in his honor. Allen entered the U .S. Army fol lowing graduation from a Houston high school, served two years as a military policeman on the West Coast and in Japan, where he was the All-Japan cross-country cham pion. He graduated in 1951 with an ac counting degree and joined J.L. Block & Co., Certified Public Ac countants in Houston. He joined Gulf Sulphur Corp. in 1957, which became Gulf Resources & Chemical Corp. in 1960. Allen was the first president of the reorganized firm. i -mm i The tiny worms seem in recent weeks to be crawling everywhere on the University campus, including some of the University’s human inhabitants. Battalion photo by Lee Roy Leschper Jr. Bug invasion Inch worm population ‘exceptionally high’ By TRACEY WILLIAMS Battalion Reporter Look — Up in the sky — It’s a bird — It’s a plane — No, it’s a worm. And many people have found at least one of these worms in their hair or on their clothes. These canker worms, more com monly known as inch worms, have been seen in the trees for about two weeks, and Jim Hunter, a county extension agent, said that it will be another two or three weeks before they are gone. “We have these canker worms to some degree every year,” Hunter said. “It’s just that this year the numbers are exceptionally high, and we re really not sure why.” Hunter said that the “extreme weather conditions” this area of Texas has experienced might have something to do with the large number of worms. “Were only guessing,” said Hunter, “but the unusual amount of rain might have something to do with it. These things just seem to go in cycles.” According to Hunter, the moths that produce these spring canker worms lay their eggs on the bark of trees in late February or early March. After the eggs hatch, the larvae feed on the foliage of the trees for three to five weeks, and then they enter the soil where they remain until they become moths. “The larvae feed primarily on oaks, and if there are enough worms, they can defoliate the trees,” Hunter said. “You can spray to get rid of them, but since they’ll be gone in a couple of weeks, it’s not necessary unless there’s a lot of damage.” Gene Ray, director of grounds maintenance, said that some of the smaller trees on the Texas A&M campus have been sprayed. “We just ignored some of the larger trees because they have a lot of recuperative strength,” said Ray. “A lot of the larger trees were also in the areas where there are always vehicles and people, and that makes worms spraying difficult.” “It’s not so much that they have done a lot of damage,” Ray said. “The real problem is looking at your shoulder and being eyeball to eyeball with a worm.” Although the worms may be an noying, both Ray and and Hunter agreed that these “eyeball to eyeball” confrontations will be over in the next two to three weeks. . &.m. iROVE SUMMER FILM SERIES Positions Available Mications and info, avail- at SPO secretary’s , Room 216 MSG.
