MONARCH, BARNES & NOBLE AND SCHAUNE. AVAILABLE AT Loupot's When “Fish” Casey “whips out” to upper classmen at Texas A&M, he says he’s from Houston. Further questioning reveals he went to high school in Washing ton, D. C. As the normal line of inquiry continues, Casey says his father is a government employe. Event ually, the inquirer learns Casey is the son of U. S. Representa tive Bob Casey of Houston. “Fish” Casey, who is Michael Casey to non-students, has been reluctant in his first four months at Texas A&M to have it general ly known he is the son of a na tional government official. But he is beginning to change his thinking along that line. “It helps to have friendly up per classmen,” he grinned. The 18-year-old liberal arts major likes politics and is con sidering running for a campus office next year if he has suffi cient backing. “Although I like politics, I want to have something to fall back on if I am unsuccessful in that field,” Casey explained. “I am an avid fan of the stock market and have been consider ing changing my major to fin ance.” Unlike some freshmen, young Casey has no complaints about chow hall food. “As a matter of fact, I lost weight at home during the Christmas holiday s,” he re marked. Casey’s loss of weight may have something to do with the competition at the dinner table. He has nine brothers and sisters. “Much can be said for large families,” he quipped. “There are lots of arguments, lots of to getherness.” Mike rates himself as an “aver age” student. History is his fav orite subject. He studies about as much as his classmates, but doesn’t believe in cramming for finals. Want to be a big Hero? Then look for big challenges! Come to General Electric,where the young men are important men. Important responsibilities come to you early at G.E. You could find yourself on the team responsible for marketing a new appliance. Or you could be in India, installing a nuclear power plant. Or in a laboratory, looking for applications for a remarkable new “artificial gill” that lets mam mals breathe under water. This is a worldwide company that makes over 200,000 different prod ucts, from jet engines and weather satellites to computers and color TV. In this kind of company, you have to be very good to get very far. If you are good, you’ll be rewarded. With money, of course. But with responsibility, too. The most important job you’ll ever have is your first job. And the most important job interview you may ever have is with the man from G.E. 7^-ogress /s Our Most Important Product GENERAL A ELECTRIC “I feel that a student should know the material pretty well al ready,” he said. “Cramming does not help.” A private in Squadron 9 of the Corps of Cadets, Casey finds his military routine differs great ly from last year, when he was a commander (2nd lieutenant) at St. John’s College, a military high school in Washington. He spends about 10 hours a week drilling with the Fish Drill Team. “I decided during my high school sophomore year to come to A&M,” Casey recalled. “I wanted to study administrative engineer ing, but changed my mind be cause my mathematics ability is almost nil.” The personable freshman knows most of the Texas delega tion in Congress and lists Rep. Olin E. Teague of College Sta tion and Omar Burleson of An son among his friends. “Work is my hobby,” he said seriously. “Last summer, I work ed in the folding room on the Hill. It was a wonderful oppor tunity. I met most all members of Congress. Before that, I mowed yards in our neighbor hood. He used part of his earnings to play the stock market. “I always buy blue chip stocks,” he confided. “I never speculate.” A graduate level farm manage ment course will be offered as a night class during the spring semester. The class, Applied Farm Man agement, will be for three hours resident credit toward an advanc ed degree, said James S. Wehrly, who will teach the course. It will meet on Monday even ings from 7-10, in Room 104 Agriculture Building. One Sat urday field trip is scheduled. Prerequisites for the course are a baccalaureate degree and ex perience in professional agricul tural work. Topics to be covered include management and decision making processes, economic prin ciples, budgeting and linear pro gramming and financial plan ning. Interested persons may register during regular registration or at the first class session provided they indicate intent to register ahead of time.
