Rudder
Continued from Page 1
Rudder said she is lucky be
cause she had to work outside of
the home only one year of her life.
She taught physical education for
$900 a year in 1936.
One of her hobbies is playing
the organ for Crestview Methodist
Retirement Center on Fridays.
Public speaking, Rudder said, is
not on her list of hobbies. But her
husband encouraged her to face
her fear by asking her to speak to
the Board of Regents in his absence.
She recently spoke to the
Class of ’66 before the Kansas
State football game.
The University
dedicated Rudder
Hall to Margaret
Rudder in 1990.
Her husband
has been honored
in several ways.
Among his name
sakes are a park in
Eden, Texas, a
Ranger camp in
Florida, the Brown
Scholarship Program and Rudder
Tower. A statue of Rudder is dis
played on the

Margaret Rudder
Foundation and James Earl Rudder
Memorial Award, a school in San
Antonio, a state office building in
Austin, the Rudder Normandy
A&M campus,
and a monu
ment stands in
his name in
Normandy.
Harry Lud-
ke, the Hous
ton sculptor
of the statue
on campus,
adjusted the
memorial at Margaret Rudder’s
request.
“He was always trying to lose
weight,” she said, “so Harry skin-
nied him down.”
Margaret Rudder said A&M
can be described in two words —
loyalty and spirit.
“There’s nothing like the family
feeling at A&M,” she said. “I feel like
I’ve been adopted.”
Ron Mo, a senior marketing and
finance major who works at the
Texas A&M Visitors’ Center, said
Margaret Rudder openly gives her
time to the University and to Aggies.
“When Mr. (Jack) Jernigan
had a heart attack during the
band’s 100th Anniversary, she
opened her home to the family,”
he said. “She’s a real Aggie who’s
totally filled with spirit.”

Java-the Programming Language of Internet and for the
Internet
Programming languages come and go and some of them stay
longer than the others; some of them endure and some of them
evolve. Java is the latest in hundreds of programming lan
guages. Java is certainly not the last and not the ultimate, but
one big step which has potentials of becoming a major enduring
language with evolution. What is new, what is distinct, what to
learn, how to learn, why to learn; all these and related questions
will be raised and initial and simple answers will be provided in
“A Quick Tour of Java”.

Delphi Client Server Application and
Track Testing
Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) in the Department
of Student Life administers approximately 10,000 tests per year
to students who need to take their tests in an alternative place
or format as part of their academic accommodation. From the
beginning, this process (which involves multiple contacts with
the student and department) had been done by hand. The old
process was inefficient and did not allow easy retrieval of criti
cal information. Adaptive Technology Services has developed a
Delphi 2.0 32-bit multi-threaded client/server database applica
tion to track the testing process. The Test Manager system uses
barcodes to identify each test and track its movement through
the testing process.
SSD has plans to distribute the application to other uni
versities with similar needs. Eventually, the system will incorpo
rate student disability records, e-mail functionality and Web con
nections for on-line queries of tests. This presentation will
demonstrate the application and operation of the above de
scribed system.
