The fee for the next boarding period is payable by Nov. 1& and the period commences Nov. 20 and extends to Jan. 8.

In the cafeteria-style serving line, the student will have a choice of two meats, two or more des­serts, two or more salads and the same choices of beverages as is given under the family-style plan. Also, hot soup will be served with the evening meal.

A&M Receives 2 Grants By NSF For Teacher Aid

A discussion of overseas employ­ment through Operation Cross­roads will be held at 7:30 Tues­day in the Social Room of the Memorial Student Center.

It will be an opportunity for students and faculty members to explore the possibilities of parti­cipating in Experiment in Inter­national Living, said James Ray of the MSC Travel Committee. Fol­lowing the discussion, there will be a film series shown on Operation Crossroads work in Uganda.

Operations Crossroads is a pro­ject to develop person to person relationships between U. S. and Canadian college students and the people of Africa through a Peace Corps type work project during the summer.

Donkey, Elephant To Get Second Try

The student political organiza­tions of A&M University will have another chance at official recog­nition by the Executive Commit­tee, announced Robert Eubank, president of the Young Republi­cans at their meeting Monday night.

A committee composed of stu­dents from the Young Republi­cans and Young Democrats will take their agruments for official recognition as campus organiza­tions to the University Executive Committee Within the very near future, continued Eubank.

Fallen Jet Engine Found In Pasture

HOUSTON </P) — The two- ton engine that fell Saturday from an Eastern Airlines pass­enger jet was found Monday in a pasture 40 miles southwest of here.

Federal Aviation Agency invest­igators said they found the engine buried in a field between Damon and Newgutf, near the Wharton- Fort Bend County line.

The search centered there after Clarence Rose, 41, a farmer who lives outside Damon, said he saw die engine fall from the plane.

THE DATE for the review of recognition was tenitively set for Nov. 25 after Eubank talked to James P. Hannigan, Dean of Stu­dents.

Hannigan denied responsibility for the failure of the two clubs to obtain recognition and was in­strumental in obtaining the re­view for the clubs.

THE TWO CLUBS had been de­nied official recognition by the Executive Committee in a letter that stated that the committee believed that off campus organiza­tions provided enough room for political experimentation by stu­dents and the University regula­tions stated that A&M property should not be the scene of any partisan politics.

The club’s guest speaker was George Bush, republican candidate for Ralph Yarborough’s senate seat.

Bush spoke on the failure of Democrats to fill the Jeffersonian image that they cast themselves in.

“I am sure that they (The Uni­versity Executive Committee) have good reasons for their actions, but I hate to tsee Universities afraid of free thought. I hope you win your fight,” concluded Bush.

Ripon Beats A&M In Last 40 Seconds

Huntsville Rodeo Termed Success

HOUTON (A>> _ The prison rodeo at Huntsville last month was the most successful in years, the State Board of Cor­rections said Monday.

“We cleared close to $30,000 more than we have in the last three or four years,” H. H. Cof- field of Rockdale, chairman of the board, said.

Figures furnished by Dr. George Beto, director of the prison system, showed profits from the show rose from $72,271 in 1962 to $117,651 this year.

The money goes into a health, education and recreation fund for the system’s 12,000 prisoners.

After nearly six hours of un­expected, nerve-racking practice sessions and dress rehearsals, the A&M “College Bowl” team Sun­day was defeated 155-150 by Ripon College in the last 20 seconds of their match on NBC’s “General Electric College Bowl.”

According to Dr. Harry P. Kroitor, associate professor of English and coach of the Aggies, the A&M team, composed of Cal vin C. Simper, Lawrence Kelmin- son, John A. Schmidt and Bobby L. Limmer, showed an obvious super­iority over the Ripon team in all of the practice sessions and dress rehearsals.

In one of the dress rehearsals, said Kroitor, the A&M team won by more than 400 points. ,

“The people in the studio and the audience were amazed and gasping at the Texans’ brillance,” said Kroitor.

“There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that our boys were considerably superior to the Ripon team,” said Kroiter.

After arriving in New York City by jet from Houston Friday night, the Aggies “bedded down” at their hotel, the Savoy Hilton. Saturday after breakfast, the team took in some sight-seeing before they met Kroiter for dinner. After dinner, Kroitor and the team attended Edward Albee’s “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” at the Billy Rose Theater. The play, which was the winner of the New York Drama Critics Award as Best Play of the 1962-63 season, was a shocker,

satirizing our inability to face realities.

The drilling of the two teams be- 1 gan at approximately noon Sunday and continued almost without in­terruption until showtime. The live television show was compos­ed of two nine-minute periods in which the clock never stopped.

The A&M team jumped off to an early lead and was never top­ped until the final question was asked. At that time, the Aggies were leading 150-145. The last question was worth 10 points and spelled defeat for the Aggies.

For their appearance on the show, A&M received a $500 schol­arship for the school.

Numerous telephone calls and telegrams from all the United States have been received congrat­ulating the team on their effort, Kroitor said.

Noe Raul Marmolejo, Ralph Howard Mitchell Jr., Richard Moore, Kenneth Albert Radde, Richard Louis Railston, Har­lan Earl Roberts.

William Clayton Robinette Jr., James Eugene Schnabel, Gerald Wayne Siegelin, William Kenneth Stanton, Frank William Stark Jr., Edward Lee Walker and JohXi Charles Holliman.

TO BE ELIGIBLE for listing in Who’s Who, students must be classified as a senior academically, have an overall grade point ratio of 1.5 or better, be active in cam­pus activities and show qualities of leadership as indicated by posi­tions held in student organizations.

The A&M selections were made by a nine-man committee consist­ing of faculty and staff members and students.

Dean W. J. Graff, Dean Frank Hubert, Col. Denzil Baker and Bennie A. Zinn represented the faculty and staff on the group.

STUDENTS AIDING in the selections were Paul Dresser, Corps Commander; Harlan Rob­erts, Student Senate President; Howard Head, MSC Council Presi­dent; Richard Moore, Civilian Stu­dent President, and Jeff Harp, Civilian Student vice president.

Dean of Students James P. Han­nigan said Monday, ‘I feel we have a very fine group this year. The selection committee worked very hard to select this group. In fact, this committee stayed up past 1 p.m. one night making the final selection.”

STUDENTS NAMED to Who’s Who will be honored in a special national publication honoring out­standing students from colleges and universities in all parts of the United States.

“It is a tremendous job to decide on just 37 students from as large a student body as we have,” Han­nigan added.

Of all the qualifications, schol­astic achievement is perhaps the most stressed.

SCONAFiling Deadline Set

NASA Postpones IMP Launch Date

WASHINGTON OP) —The Na­tional Aeronautics and Space Ad­ministration postponed indefinitely Monday the launching of the IMP —an interplanetary Explorer satel­lite on a radiation charting flight three-fourths of the way to the moon.

The agency said ground tests of the third stage of the Delta launch vehicle indicated that rocket ex­haust, after burnout, might cause a spacecraft contamination prob­lem.

“Changes in the separation se­quence will be made to eliminate this possibility,” NASA said.

Monotonous But Necessary WorkAllan Linton, B&U Department, is only one of many em­ployees working towards completion of the name changing job on over 350 University vehicles. The process, in­volving the tying up of needed vehicles, is slow since old paint has to be removed before application of the new decal. All departments still lacking the new decal on their vehicles are urged to make an-angements with B&U to assure final completion of the task.
