Dean Of Students Tours ROTC Camp

Dean of Students, James P. Han- nigan, speaking of his recent visit to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, where ap­proximately 225 Aggies are cur­rently undergoing training, paid, “The Aggies are doing quite well, this year, as always.”

A&M again has!,the largest num­ber of cadets at the summer camp. The school with the next largest number of cadets is Oklahoma Uni­versity with approximately 150.

While there he visited with the 225 Aggies who are undergoing summer training as a part of the advanced senior ROTC program. A&M has the largest group of ca­dets at the camp this year, accord­ing to Hannigan.

A&M’s cadets are mixed with approximately 1325 other cadets from colleges and universities in the southwest to form the 1600- plus cadet corps.

Hannigan dined with the Aggies in a mess hall reserved for the occasion. He pointed out that

Firefighters Open Session Here Sunday

Firefighters representing 20 states and 425 cities open' a five- day workshop here Sunday, with approximately 1,700 firemen ex­pected to register for the 33rd An­nual Texas Firemen’s Training School.

The School, sponsored by the State Firemen’s and Fire Mar­shals’ Association of Texas, will be conducted by the Engineering Extension Service cooperating with the Industrial Education Division of the Texas Education Agency.

The basic firefighting course in­cludes the burning and extinguish­ing of a five-room furnished house, training in sprinkler systems op­erations, and training in all types of fire extinguishers.

In addition, the advanced fire­fighting coui’se will emphasize pe­troleum fires and the industrial firefighting course will concen­trate on actual fire fighting of industrial fires.

The training school is conducted by 260 experienced instructors made available by municipalities, industries, manufacturers, state and federal agencies, and armed services. Equipment and supplies are loaned or donated.

Thirteen separate 30-hour train­ing coui-ses will be offered, and completion of the course with a grade of 70 or better results in a certificate for the department and the firemen.

The successful completion of the required courses by the visiting- firemen will result in key rate in­surance credit being awarded to Texas cities and towns represented by firemen at the school. Credits range from three to five per cent, depending upon the number of firemen in attendance.

The delegate firemen are en­gaged in fire prevention, control and safety for municipalities, in­dustries and armed services. They will be housed during the five-day school in the cadet dormitories lo­cated in the north section of the campus. Feeding facilities will be provided by Sbisa Dining Hall.

The training school, held annu­ally on the A&M campus, is one of the largest of its kind in the nation. Chief Henry D. Smith of the firemen training program has played an important part in prep­arations for this year’s school.

normally, cadets eat with their respective units, without regard to the individual school.

The cadets took part in many demonstrations of various training phases for the benefit of the visi­tors. Hannigan watched as Aggies went through their paces in dis­mounted assaults, and 81mm mor­tar and 105mm recoiless rifle practice.

“They were hale and hearty, with peeling noses and assorted chigger bites”, he said. “While I was there, the temperature rose to 103 de­grees”.

The heat didn’t discourage the cadets from holding a full scale review Saturday morning, to honor the visiting college officials, how­ever.

Later, Hannigan 'witnessed a ‘mass artillery demonstration’ which ranged from 105mm recoil­less rifle fire up to the 280mm Atomic cannon.

“The 280mm gun didn’t use a nuclear shell this time, though,” he said, “but the conventional war­head removed the side of a small mountain.”

“I also had the opportunity to ride in a tank, an armored person­nel carrier and a helicopter,” he added.

During the tour, Hannigan also visited the fort’s famous museum, which, among a huge collection of artillery pieces, Indian relics, and war trophies, is also the jail in which Geronimo was imprisoned.

“Geronimo’s grave is also on the fort grounds,” he said. Friday night, the dean attended a recep­tion in the Officers’ Club and a picnic Saturday, given by the Law- ton-Ft. Sill A&M Club, for the Aggies.

At the end of his visit, he was given a questionaire by the Army, asking his comments on the train­ing and facilities at the camp. He said that his comments were quite favorable.

Appropriation To Cut Costs For Academy

Students who attend A&M’s Texas Maritime Academy next fall can now expect to go as cheaply as a student enrolled on the main campus.

The reason is that the House Appropriations Committee recom­mended Tuesday that $105,000 be appropriated in the fiscal year for the new academy.

Capt. B. M. Dodson, head of the academy, said $30,000 of that amount would be given to the stu­dents of the academy at the rate of $50 per month.

Rep. Clark W. Thompson of Gal­veston said yesterday he had “every expectation” that the House of Representatives and the Senate will approve the appropriation. Capt. Dodson said a great step has been made and that he was pleased that this assistance would be given to the TMA students.

Capt. Dodson and a delegation of Texas people appeared before the committee in March to request the appropriation. It was for $75,000 to be used by the academy under the State Maritime Academy Act of 1958, and $30,000 for allow­ance for each student’s textbooks, basic uniforms and subsistence.

The state Legislature had ap­propriated $285,000 for a two-year period which began in September of 1961.
