Former student
complements
‘good Ag’ image
H
Th<
By Holly Becka
Staff Writer
At a time when recent national
publicity has made “good Ags” seem
hard to Find, a former student who
has received many military service
commendations returned to cam
pus.
Col. Marc Powe, Class of ’61, a
foreign area officer in military intel
ligence, visited Texas A&M for his
first bonfire since his senior year.
One of Powe’s most notable ac
tions occurred while he was sta
tioned in Moscow, at the defense at
tache’s office in the U.S. Embassy.
He rescued an American flag from
the embassy when the building
caught fire in August 1977.
Soviet firefighters were called to
the scene of the fire.
“We had to let the Soviets (fire
fighters) in or let the building burn,”
said Powe, who wears his Aggie Ring
prominently on his right hand.
He said some of the Americans,
including himself, were instructed to
stay in the burning building and su
pervise the firefighters.
“The building was saved in the
end,” Powe said. “The fire appeared
to be whipped but then it broke out
again.”
That was when Powe noticed the
American flag in a burning office on
the ninth floor. He decided that he
should save the flag.
“I really had no reason for getting
the flag,” he said. “I just thought it
would be stupid to leave it there.”
For his quick actions, Powe was
awarded the Soldier’s Medal, the
highest peacetime award. The flag
later was returned to the building.
More recendy, Powe was in the
news about a year ago after being
detained by the Kuwaiti government
for about 36 hours. He was reluctant
to talk about the situation because he
says it was just a misunderstanding.
“The incident in Kuwait was just
one of those things that happens,”
Powe said.
Powe also has been stationed in
Georgia, Louisiana, Arizona, Kan
sas, Washington D.C., Germany,
Vietnam and Baghdad, Iraq. At his
next post, he will serve as a defense
attache in Tunisia.
In addition to receiving the Sol
dier’s Medal, Powe has been
awarded many other high military
honors, including the Defense Supe
rior Service Medal, the Legion of
Merit, the Bronze Star with two oak
leaf clusters, the Purple Heart, the
Defense Meritotious Service Medal,
the Army Meritorious Service
Medal, the Air Medal, the Army
Commendation Medal and other
service medals.
He said that his four years of
Corps training in outfit L-2 and the
values he learned at A&M have been
important to him throughout his
military career. He said it is interest
ing to see how the school has
changed.
“I always wanted to be in the Ar
my,” Powe said. “The Corps was
mandatory when I came here, but I
came with the notion of being a pro
fessional soldier. I guess it’s turned
out right.
“It was a strange environment
when I went to school at A&M,” he
said. “The all-maleness really was in
appropriate because that’s not the
way life is. I think that made it
harder for us to adjust as the wom
en’s movement impacted on the
Armed Service. It left us at a disad
vantage.
“Certainly, the Corps is better
with women in it. It’s more represen
tational of our society.”
Powe said A&M was racially segre
gated while he attended A&M, and
he said is glad to see cadets of all col
ors working together today.
“It was artificial when there was
segregation,” he said. “There were
Hispanics, but no blacks.”
Powe said he attended A&M when
the phrase “Highway 6 runs both
ways” was coined.
“I was here in the ‘good ’ol days,’
but they were the pits,” he said.
“Hazing was terribly severe. Out of
my original unit of 39 freshmen, 18
ended the first semester, five of us
ended the year and three of us grad
uated. That’s baloney. Noneolil
nonsense made me better inmyp
fessional career.
“At A&M I learned teams:
honesty, esprit de corps, to do os
duty and be faithful to friends,"
said. “None of those values hadi;
thing to do with getting beateiH;
a broomstick and doing pushups;
the middle of the night.
“It was a different schoolife
he said. “Most of us came fromas
ral background so we were in jj
physical condition. I recall thatth
usually was not much difficulty
the physical aspect when we werei
ing hazed; the difficulty came/
being mentally abused anddepr,.
tion of sleep.
“We used to say though, thu
was easier to stay here than toi
home and say we couldn’t tahe:
think that kept a lot of peoplehet-
He said he is glad thattheCd;
puts more emphasis on retaining;
dels now.
However, Powe said hestillh
lieves in discipline and the milt-
way of life.
“Freshmen have to learn toatt
things they don’t necessarilyhiei
cause it’s like that in lifeandim
“It was a strange enviror,]
merit when I went it
school at A&M. Thed

that is the result of good tram

He said that those who thinke
Corps should be abolished do r,
understand the tradition of rate
service.
“We have a reliable, welkk

Powe said one of the moshi
able experiences of his militan:
reer was being stationed in UsE

“Like most Arab nations, lr
broke relations with the U.S. in Hi
in the .Six Day War,” he said. "Hi

Powe’s wife, Karen, said thets?

“It’s pretty interestingtobea«

“The soldiers might be used toil,1

Powe’s family has supportedt
and accompanied him on *
overseas tours. The family hassei

Despite the moving, homesick:
