Semi-Finalists Named For A&M Sweetheart; 27 Tessies Competing

Twenty-seven girls from Texas Woman’s University were selected Tuesday as semi-finalists in the 1964-65 Aggie Sweetheart competi­tion.

Frank Muller, president of the Student Senate, said the prelimi­nary selections were made with the help of Nanette Gabriel and Jane Sullins, both of TWU.

The 27 girls were chosen by Muller, Garry Tisdale, Hale Burr, Neil Keltner and Bill Camp. Selec­tions were based on photographs. Muller said there were 50 appli­cations for this years competition.

Muller Likes LBJ’s PlanPresident Wants White House Fellows

A&M Student Body President Frank M. Muller Jr., thinks highly of President Johnson’s plans for a new program called the White House Fellows.

Muller and more than 200 other student leaders from across A- merica were guests of the first family at a buffet and recep­tion Saturday and heard the plans announced.

The object is to give carefully chosen young people first hand, high-level experience with the workings of the federal govern­ment.

“I think the plan is a wonderful idea,” Muller said.

President Johnson was quoted by White House correspondents as saying “The Fellows will be younger men and women — 23 to 35 — chosen from business, law, journalism, the universities, architecture or other occupa­tions.”

Muller said it was inferred the program for 15 persons to serve two years would be started early next summer.

Muller and the others attend­ing the White House reception and buffet also heard three Cabi­net members outline their duties, problems and goals. The three were Secretary of Defense Ro­bert S. McNamara, Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Secretary of Labor Willaird Writz.

“The speeches were very real­istic, very forceful and there was no political emphasis on anything that was said,” Muller reported.

Muller wore a winter uniform and his senior boots for the White House visit and was quickly spot­ted as an Aggie as he passed through the receiving line com­posed of the Johnsons and their daughter, Lynda Bird.

“As I was introduced to him, he sent greetings to Chancellor M. T. Harrington and President Earl Rudder,” Muller said.

The student leader plans to re­port informally on his trip this week and to relay the greetings to Harrington and Rudder. He also will report to Dean of Stu­

dents J. P. Hannigan.The Student Senate will hear

a report on the White House visit at their next regular meet­ing Oct. 15.

Muller’s report also will in­clude mention of the buffet sup­per and entertanment at which Lynda Bird Johnson was hostess.

“Of course, the food was won­derful,” he said.

Entertainment was provided by

the Chad Mitchell Trio, Bob New- hart and Stan Goetz. At 9 p.m. Lynda Bird thanked the students for coming, Muller recalled.

Muller and the student leaders fully realized they were at the White House as they went out onto the front balcony before leaving. They had entered by the back and been in rooms not shown on the customary White House tours.

Muller said a five man commit­tee will fly to Denton Saturday to interview the semi-finalists and select 15 finalists The finalists will be notified Sunday, Muller said.

The committee consists of Bob Boone, faculty advisor; Garry Tis­dale, senior class; Paul Oliver, Civilian Student Council; Julian Smith, junior class, and Barney Fudge, sophomore class.

The 15 finalists will appear on campus the weekend of Oct. 16. Muller said the sweetheart selec­tion comittee will meet each con­testant. Each finalist will have dinner in Duncan Dining Hall, at­tend the Town Hall presentation of the Clebanoff Strings and at­tend Midnight Yell Practice.

Each finalist will be introduced to the student body at the yell practice.

To be eligible for the selection, the coed had to be a sophomore or higher classification and have at least a 1.5 grade point ratio.

The 27 semifinalists are: Johan­na Leister, Susan Berry, Diane Herkenratt, Carol Ann Schuster, Nancy Rape, Barbara Jablonski, Daphne Caravageli, Patricia Ann Ahr, Ronelia Quintanilla, Judi Manhaney, Whitney Vickers, Paul­ina Gandy, Melanie McCoy, Dianna Kenny.

“Even though Noyes is a leading international statesman, an out­standing authority on photochem­istry and editor of several journals and books, he finds time and in­sists on teaching freshman chem­istry at the University of Texas,” Zwolinski said.

“Dr. Noyes will discuss research in progress in our department with postdoctorals and graduate faculty members,” the A&M department head said.

Noyes and his wife will be hon­ored by the A&M-Baylor Section of the American Chemical Society with a reception and dinner pre- ceeding the lecture.

The chemist began his teaching and research career at the Univer­sity of California in 1920 and was

member of the University of Rochester faculty from 1938 until his retirement a year ago as “Dis­tinguished University Professor of Chemistry Emeritus.” He then went to the University of Texas as Ashbel Smith Professor of Chemistry.

He served as president of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry for the past four years, while in 1947 he headed the American Chemical Society

| and is a longtime member of the National Academy of Sciences. He also has served as vice president of the U. S. National Commission

■ for UNESCO.| The United States government

1 in 1948 awarded Noyes the Medal I for Merit and in the same year he

received the King’s Medal from I the British Empire for “Service in

| the Cause of Freedom.” In 1953

he received office in the French Legion of Honor.

Noyes continues to serve as editor of the “Journal of Physical Chemistry” and also edited for more than a decade each “Chemical Reviews” and “Journal of the American Chemical Society.”

About 150 scientific papers bear his name and he also has written or coauthored several books.

Noyes is a native of Indiana and completed undergraduate stud­ies at Grinnell College following World War I service. He earned the D.-es-Sc. degree at the Uni­versity of Paris and also studied at the Universities of Geneva and California.

The University of Illinois award­ed him a D.Sc. degree earlier this year.

LBJ, Lady Bird Team Up In Swing Through South

By The Associated Press President Johnson teamed up in

politics with Lady Bird Johnson Tuesday night and, blazing away at Republican Barry Goldwater, declared in tobacco country that “the way to raise farm income is not to launch a farm depression.”

Getting into the farm issue for the first time in the campaign, Johnson hooted at what he said are “those who have called for —and I quote—‘prompt and final termination of the farm subsidy program’.”

Goldwater has urged gradual government withdrawal from agri­culture so that, as he puts it, farm­ers could operate in freedom. The words Johnson quoted are from Goldwater’s 1960 book, “Conscience of a Conservative.”

But Johnson said that ending the farm subsidy program would cut farm income in half, from $12 to $6 billion, and send one out of five American farmers into bank­ruptcy.

On a trip whose purpose he said definitely is politics, he predicted in remarks prepared for a rally at Reynolds Coliseum that Tuesday, Nov. 3, is “going to be a great Democratic day in America.”

The stepped-up drive for a mighty election victory—-a drive that will carry him in the next week into more than a dozen states with more than 200 of the 270

Visit To Chile Inspires Another Trip For Tisdale

Fresh from a summer trip to Chile, A&M senior Garry Tisdale of Tyler is already planning an­other trip to a foreign country next summer.

As a participant in the Exper­iment in International Living, the international law and relations major spent the summer as a guest of Senor Orlando Ramirez, a teacher in a girls high school at Talca, about 250 miles south of Santiago.

“The trip not only gave me a chance to travel, it provided an opportunity to learn a culture other than our own,” said Tis­dale. “I found that people are really the same everywhere. It’s a tremendous feeling to know that you have friends 7,000 miles away and that you plan to see

them again someday.”Garry started his journey by

hitch-hiking to Miami, Fla., from Tyler in five days. He cele­brated his flight to South Amer­ica with a birthday party aboard the plane.

“Some of the kids bought a birthday cake during a stop in Panama, and we had a big party,” he recalled.

“Another celebration came July 4. Our ‘parents’ planned a sur­prise party for us because they knew we were homesick,” he said.

“All the students in the area participating in the Experiment in International Living were there,” he said. “We sang our National Anthem about a dozen times, then we sang theirs. The

party lasted until about 4 a.m. the next day,” Tisdale continued.

Garry would board a train al­most every morning for a ride of about 200 miles to see the country After seeing the sights, he would hitchike back home. Locally, he toured a large candy factory and a wine factory.

“Rep. Olin Teague arranged a visit with Ambassador Charles W. Cole for me,” Tisdale said. “I also met President Alessandri on my own. He lives in an apart­ment near the palace, and walks to work. I just walked up and introduced myself. Later I took a tour of the president’s palace and had lunch and coffee in the Congress. Their congress was debating Chile’s break with Cuba while I was there.”

electoral votes he needs to win.From now on the people and

the country are going to be seeing a lot of their campaigning Presi­dent. He intends to report to them on what he calls the administra­tion’s proud record and try to sell it to Democrats and Republicans alike.

Johnson is heading into the busiest phase of the campaign, with the election just four weeks away, still hammering hard on the themes that the nation is prosper­ous, responsibility and restraint in the White Houst are vital, and peace is the great goal.

Sen. Barry Goldwater stumped suburban Philadelphia Tuesday, charging that minority groups with high-priced lobbyists “run this country” under the Democrats.

And he declared at a suburban shopping center rally that too many newsmen belive Americans have accepted centralized govern­ment.

Goldwater and Rep. William E. Miller will discuss nine campaign issues during 30 nationwide tele­casts beginning Thursday, the Re­publican National Committee an­nounced Tuesday.
