The selection process began two weeks ago when nine cadets were nominated for corps com mander. The candidates were interviewed by Corps advisers Feb. 10. The appointments were not announced until Wednesday. “Now, we have to start plan ning for next year,” Abbott said. “We have a lot of work to do. “My job is to represent the Corps for the University and to represent the University. We are the keeper of traditions, but without the support of civilians, Texas A&M will not go any where,” he said. Terrell agrees with Abbott ab out the role of the Corps. “We are a big part of the Uni versity’s public relations,” Ter rell said. “We do things in sup port of the University whether it’s going to Mardi Gras or to the governor’s inauguration. “We (support tradition and represent the University) by ex ample, not as a police force. When we start telling others what to do, then we are paddling backwards. “My job is to direct Corps Staff and to support Preston. I’m also in charge of the finan cial aspect of the Corps, in charge of discipline and the spe cial units,” said Terrel. Abbott and Terrell think that Texas A&M benefits from the combination of civilians and cadets. Abbott said,“I like Texas A&M the way it is. That is what makes our ROTC program so much better than others. We get to know all kinds of people, both military and non-military. It makes us more open-minded. We get the best of both worlds.” “Our main goal is to produce good military officers and good citizens,” Abbott said.

It was the third time the commission refused to allow a business at this intersection. i Al Mayo, city planner, said the proposed denist office .would force future rezoning of the property to a commercial area. A high commercial price "prevents houses from being built on Texas Avenue, he said. Previously, an attorney-real estate office and a chiropractic office were not allowed at the intersection, Mayo said, because area homeowners. were opposed. At the meeting, two represen tatives from the community said the property was not suitable for a business because it unfairly in vaded on their community. They felt that added traffic would also be a problem for the area.

Fifty Texas A&M engineer ing students will get to see the German industrial and cultural portions of the world from May 12 to 30 during a European ex change program with Ruhr Uni- versity-Bochum in Germany. Round trip airfare, bus trans portation, industrial and cultu ral tours and room and hoard will cost about $1,000. German families will adopt Texas A&M students for two weeks of the tour and share a side of culture not found in the engineering lab, Dr. L.S>Fletch- er, associate dean of engineer ing, said. “The families do speak En glish and are anxious to practice and get to know bur Students,” he said. Classes and laboratories at Ruhr Universitv-Bochum are open to Texas A&M students.

You can see from the shift in foreign trade recently that the U.S. doesn’t really have it all.

You can see from the shift in foreign trade recently that the U.S. doesn’t really have it all.” Fletcher said students who have had the opportunity to travel have gained insight into international trade. “When these students get into leader ship positions, as Aggies do, they will be more tolerant of interna tional problems,” he said. Although the curriculum is geared toward the engineering student, applied science majors might be interested in the prog ram, he said. Students will tour the Delta- works in Southern Holland and Phillips Lamp in Eindhoven. They also w ill observe the Opal Assembly Plant and Krupp Steel Works in Bochum. Tours of castles and vineyards on the Rhine, the cathedral in Cologne, the 15th and Kith Century Industrial Museum, and a visit to the birth place of Beethoven in Bonn are tentatively scheduled. A week at the end of the tour will be reserved for students w ho want to travel on their own or stay w ith their adopted fami lies in Bochum, Fletcher said. “Several students took the opportunity to see the world by bus or train,” he said. Everyone will meet in Amsterdam, Hol land to return to the United States on May 30. There are 50 spaces available and selection is based on appli cation and interview. Applica tion deadline is March 1 with a $100 deposit due as soon as pos sible. The full amount for the trip is due April 12.
