Decide for yourself says
24-year Army veteran
By MAHY EASTON
Brand Editor
Af retired veteran liked the
U.S. Army so well that he re-
turned to active duty on a volun-
tary recall.
Why? Self-satisfaction replied
Sgt. 1st Class Clair E. Richard-
son now a 24-year veteran of
the service. "I don't believe you
can find a better profession."
"There isn't a better cause
than the defense of your coun-
try" said the 41-year-old non-
commissioned officer. "I enlisted
at ihe age of 10 with the inten-
tion of retiring."
In the right situation Sgt.
Richardson feels soldiers who
are conscientious objectors are
the finest .men in comoat but
vhen someone uses it to stay out
of combat it "makes him a very
low person."
Over the past 24 years he has
counselled many young men but
says he has. never flat told them
to join.
"I tell them to make up their
1 own minds. You have to want to
do it"
Doubting the success of an all
voluntary army the most high-
ly decorated man now serving
with H-SU's ROTC program
thinks not enough people want
to make it a profession.
"How many people really want
to go to war?" he questioned. "I
served in Korea) for 18 months
and Vietnam for two years but
there was a big difference in
the -type warfare. Vietnam in-
evolved working from a base
camp whereas Korea used -harder
warfare."
Riohardsoni an instructor for
more than! 20 years likes the H-
SU program because the young
men want to participate and be-
cause of their willingness there
is no distention.

"I stay too busy for hobbies
but if I did have time I think

be my hobbies."- i
Having served in Japan Haw-

that Greece was his 'favorite.
"Butr I was always welcomed
wherever I went."

career in the ministry Hamner
transferred to Waylarid Baptist
College.
It was at Wayland that his
future was determined. As he
was interested in literature and
in writing and some of his poet-
ry was published in the college
magazine he decided to become
a college professor. He met and
married Carol Elmore a co-ed
at Wayland and editor of the
school annual.
With their B.A. degrees In
hand the Hamners headed for
at U.T. The couple returned to
Wayland where Hamner taught
English for two years.
In 1988 while an instructor at
Wayland Hamner published in
the World Literature Written in
English W.L.W.E. .Newsletter.
"A Bibliography of PerodicaJs in
English Published Outside Eng-
land and America."
In 1970 the Hamners went
back to Austin and U.T. at which
time he earned a Ph.D. degree.
His dissertion was on Litera-
ture of the British Commonweal-
th which Dr. Hamner feels has
become most interesting asid
active since the end of World
War II and is gaining ani increas-
ing amount of scholary attention.
So with- a brand-new Ph.D.
(so new in fact he still answers
his phone "Mr. Hamner") he
arrived at H-SU.
He has a very good impression
of Hardin-Simmons and thinks
it has a good iuture. He makes
a point of avoiding clinches in
describing us but the clinches
he mentions are good ones.
Favorably impressed he says
with the quality of students the
competence of the faculty and
with the civic and cultural in-
terests in Abilene he enjoys the
campus while looking forward to
the new library.
