1 vote to decide
bond election
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A $10
million road bond issue literally
hangs on the “one man, one vote”
concept, developers said Thursday.
On Nov. 3, David Rubio will cast
the only and deciding vote in the
Bexar County Road District No. 4
bond election, which will pay for
road construction and maintenance
in the 1,400-acre subdivision. Future
residents will pay to retire the bonds.
Rubio could not be reached by
telephone Thursday, but developers
said he still lives there.
Dan Parman, one of five owners
of the subdivision north of down
town, said he has talked with Rubio
about the bond election.
“I’m hoping he doesn’t forget to
vote,” Parman said.

Services for the Jewish holy day
Yom Kippur, which begins this eve
ning at sundown and ends Saturday
evening, will be held at the Hillel
Foundation at 800 Jersey St.
The day is one of fasting and is
observed to cleanse the soul and ask
God for forgiveness of sins, Barry
Laves, president of the Texas A&M
Hillel Club, said.

Office of
Services will be held at the foun
dation tonight at 8 and Saturday at
10 a.m., Rabbi Peter Tarlow, direc
tor of the Hillel Foundation, said.
Laves, a 25-year-old computer-sci
ence and engineering-technology
major, said the holy day makes Jews
remember their responsibility to
their ancestors and the hardships
they went through.
Yom Kippur is the last day of a
10-day-long observance period that
began at sundown Sept. 23 with
Rosh Hashana, the Jewish new year.
Tarlow said Jews spend the 10-
day period asking people for for
giveness of sins they nave committed
during the year. The observance pe
riod culminates on the last day with
Yom Kippur, when forgiveness is
sought from God.
About 250 people are expected to
participate in the services, he said.
“We will have a large turnout, but
since the holy day coincides with the
weekend, a lot of students and pro
fessors will go home to be with their
families,” he said.
But many of the club members
will not be able to go home because
they are international students.
“We have Jewish students from
Mexico and other Latin American
countries, as well as South Africa
and Russia,” Tarlow said. “But this
year we do not have any from Is
rael.”
The Hillel Club is the A&M orga
nization for Jewish students and
professors and is part of the Hillel
Foundation. Laves estimates mem
bership to be around 400.
“People come for reli
sons or just to socialize," Laveiii

The actual number of Jewish stu

University Press honors authors
of books describing war events
By Kimberly House
Reporter
Dr. Klaus H. Huebner and Presi
dent Frank E. Vandiver were hon
ored Thursday afternoon by the
Texas A&M University Press at an
autograph signing reception. The
gathering at the Clayton Williams Jr.
Alumni Center included an intro
duction of the authors and enter
tainment by the Singing Cadets.
Huebner’s book, “Long Walk
Through War: A Combat Doctor’s
Diary” and Vandiver’s book, “Their
Tattered Flags: The Epic of the
Confederacy” were released recently
by the press.
“Huebner’s book was chosen by
the press because it is a contribution
to history as well as a good story,”
said Lloyd Lyman, director of the
Texas A&M University Press. “It
covers the many aspects of war; it’s
unusual to find a book this real.”
The press rereleased Vandiver’s
book in paperback in September. It
originally was published in hardback
by Harper’s Magazine Press in 1970.
The book shows the history of the
Confederate states and great detail
of the Confederate Army.
Huebner wrote the manuscript
for his book in 1947 when he was
practicing medicine in North East,
Md. “During my spare time I would
write from my notes and I finished
the manuscript in six months,” he
said. “I just stored it in my attic and
decided that one day when I had
children I would share it with them.”
Huebner was the battalion physi
cian for the 88th Infantry Division in
World War II. The division was the
first all-selective service group to see
combat in any front.
“The title of the book came from
the Division’s 14-month, 500-mile
walk from Naples, Italy to the Bren
ner Pass in Austria,” Huebner said.
Huebner kept a diary of sorts that
he wrote on maps, which showed the
route for the next 1,000 yards, and
medical tags, since no one was al
lowed to have paper, pencils or let
ters with them in case they were cap
tured by the enemy.
“I never mentioned dates, names,
units or places in my notes for fear
of endangering the division,” he
said. “My mother saved all the letters
I wrote to her. I wasn’t allowed to tell
her much, but I could describe a
field or the casualties I had seen.”
When the battalion wasoniln
fensive Huebner had to treat
men in stables, caves and gullies 1
only a rock or clump of trees
protection. Often therewasnotf
at all, and he was forced to treat
soldiers where they fell. At r ; :
Huebner doctored them by
light with a blanket to cover
glow.
Ted Bellmont was in the sail 1
vision with Huebner and in
persuaded him to publish hism 51
script.
“I called Klaus on May
the 40th anniversary of Gen^
surrendering,” Bellmont said,

Huebner was given an Assoc
Membership to the Former Stud 1
Association by Bud Denton, an
army buddy.
“This plaque is even nicerthat
