Battalion Staff
Bn a discussion with the new
Corps of Cadets officers, the de
puty Corps commander-
Besignate said the Corps of
Cadets will continue to grow as
long as President Reagan in-
Bases the defense budget, and
Uht United States avoids Viet-
Inam-type situations,
n Preston Abbott, who will suc
ceed Mike Holmes as corps cont
ender at Final Review in May,
Js named to the position
Wednesday night. Brian Terrell
Bl serve as Deputy Comman
der under Abbott. Terrell suc-
jceeds Ronnie Taylor.
1 “We will grow with national
patriotism,” Terrell said. ” As
tongas Reagan increases (he de
fense budget, and we keep out
of Vietnam situations, then the
Corps will grow.”
■Abbott, a junior petroleum
engineering major from Long
view, and Terrell, a junior agri
cultural economics major from
Plain view, said they were not
surprised by their appoint
ments, but they feel fortunate
that they were selected.
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.

BAfter lengthy discussion
hursday evening, the College
ration Planning and Zoning
pmmission denied a business
from the residential area to lo
cate at the corner of Texas Ave
nue and Richards Street. 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.
Grant Wolfe said his dental
office, a buffer between the traf
fic and the community, would be

A&M engineer will travel
to Germany this summer
by Leigh-Ellen Clark
Battalion Reporter
There’s a big world beyond
final exams, and the associate
dean of engineering says he
wants students to see it in rela
tion to their field of study.
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.
Each Aggie will be assigned a
Students who have had

travel have gained in
sight into international
trade. “America isn’t
necessarily on top. You
can see from the shift in
foreign trade recently
that the U.S. doesn’t
really have it all. When
these students get into
leadership positions, as
Aggies do, they will be
more tolerant of inter
national problems, ’’said

ate dean of engineering.

versity and student social life.
“Those who travelled with us
last year matured a great deal,”
Fletcher said. “They found they
didn’t know enough about their
country. Most of us feel we really
know our government and in
dustry until someone from
another country asks about
them.
“America isn’t necessarily on

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. For more
information contact Fletcher at
the engineering dean’s office.
