Cox Gives A&M Grad Study Grant
by jim Earle Simon And Garfunkel, Hollies To Share Town Hall Spotlight
Mills Cox, chairman of the Texas Water Development Board, presented Texas A&M University more than $100,000 Monday for endowment of graduate fellowships in hydrology, announced A&M President Earl Rudder.
Rudder said the award for water development research is one of the largest ever received by the university from an individual.
Cox, resident of Gay Hill, former vice president of Texas Eastern Transmission Corp. and organizer and retired president of Transwestern Pipeline Co., is establishing the permanently endowed fund in memory of his great grandfather, the late W. G'. Mills.
Mills was a Millican planter and contractor who prepared the site for Gathright Hall, A&M’s first dormitory and dining hall, constructed in 1875-76.
Cox attended Texas A&M in 1918-19 and later transferred to the Baylor University Law School where he received the L.L.B. degree in 1925.
Funds for the W. G. Mills Memorial Endowment Fund involve presentation of 7,000 shares of Transwestern Pipeline stock which will be tendered to Texas Eastern Transmission at its current offering price. Proceeds from the transaction will total approximately $105,000.
The fund was established to encourage and promote develop
ment and conservation of the water resources of Texas, re- sourcess which Cox notes are becoming increasingly important to the welfare of the state and nation.
Rudder said Texas A&M is placing increased emphasis on education in scientific hydrology and the application of hydrology to water resource planning.
The fellowships will be used to provide financial support to two or more highly qualified graduate students in hydrology each year.
POSITIVE THINKINGPEORIA, 111, hP)—The execu
tive director of the National Fellowship of Christian Athletes said a man must have faith in himself, his fellow man and God to be a success.
James Jeffrey of Kansas City, speaking at a YMCA meeting, said a man must have a positive attitude toward other persons and himself before he can take a positive attitude toword God.
Jeffrey, who is a Baptist minister, said this positive attitude enables athletes to overcome handicaps He urged athletes with physical handicaps to set their sights higher.
“Someone has you on a pedestal that is above everything else,” he said. “The things you do and say others will imitate because you are an idol to them.”
“It’s a windshield decal—what else?”

by Robert GonzalesThe Corps of Cadets, led by
Cadet Colonel Lonnie C. Minze, will conduct a march-in prior to the Texas A&M-t.u. football game in Kyle Field.
Because of the chairs which will be on the cinder track, units will be marching with a six^man front on the grassy area between the track and the field.
Reviewing officer for the 12:20 event will be President Earl Rudder. At a Monday night meeting of the major commanders, the uniform changed to class “A” summer. Sabers will be carried, seniors will wear boots and name tags will not be worn. In the event of inclement weather, the march-in will be cancelled.

Neal Adams, the traditional bonfire will be lighted sometime between 7:30 and 8:00 Wednesday night. Yell practice and remarks from several football players and coaches will follow afterwards.
Another tradition connected with the bonfire is the one which concerns the guarding of the huge structure in the final hours. Units of the First Battalion will form
