THE BATTALION -SATURDAY, DEC. 9, 1939 Welfare Committee— (Continued from page 1) zation commanders to discuss and take action on at their next meet ing. Stated Dean and chairman F. C. Bolton, “We are hoping that to improve scholastic standings the commanders of all the organiza tions on the campus will do their part in instituting and maintaining group meetings to counsel the freshmen in their studies, senior assistance to underclassmen, study during hours off from classes, and other such measures which will better the presnt serious sit uation.” In regard to questions first brought up last month, it was stat ed that (1) a student restroom in the Academic Building, (2) special locks for the fire hose cases in the new dormitories, (3) means of closing up the draft-admitting gaps at the bottom of doors in the new halls and (4) new tennis courts for the student body, are all under consideration by the col lege authorities, and will be pro vided at some time in the future. At present they are all awaiting action by the Board of Directors. A letter from Mayor J. H. Bin- ney was read, inviting the Student Welfare Committee to choose one of its members to sit in with the City Council at all the Council meetings, as a mark of the willing ness and desire of the Council to serve the student body. The committee resolved unanimously to accept this offer, and at a student caucus following the meeting, Frank Pool of A Cavalry was elected to sit in with the Council. He will represent the student body by giving opinions and taking part in the discussions, but will have no vote. The Williams College News is making a special movie of all phases of campus life.

Accounting Society Tuesday evening in the Chemistry lecture room. His topic was “The Accountant of the Future— His Training and Opportunities”. The speaker pointed out that ac counting is comparatively a new field. It has, however, progressed rapidly during the past forty years. As to the future of the accountant, he stated that wherever there is civilization there is trade and com merce and where there is trade and commerce accountants are always needed. In training for the accounting profession, Main went on to say, a life study must be devoted to the profession, and a will to ad vance must be instilled in the ac countant. He also gave an interesting re view of the history of accounting, pointing out that accounting rec ords were found in the earliest years of civilization. 9 In his speaking tour through Texas, Main will include, besides A. & M. College, the University of Texas, S. M. U., and T. C. U. Main is the senior partner of Main and Company. He obtained the New York certified public ac countant certificate in 1904. He also is the holder of a C. P. A. certificate of Pennsylvania, Okla homa, and Texas. In 1908 he established the ac counting courses at the Univer sity of Pittsburgh Evening School of Economics, Accountants and Finance, that being the third uni versity in the United States to establish such courses. Main was a member of the evening school faculty until 1915, when he joined the Pennsylvania State Board of Examiners. Since that time he has served in an advisory capacity in accounting courses at the Univer sity of Pittsburgh. He served as a member of the Pennsylvania State Board of Ex aminers for sixteen years, from 1915 to 1931. Taxi Ordinance— (Continued from page 1) fort and safety; and the ultimate responsibility for its successful operation rests with the taxi driv er himself. All drivers caught in fringing the ordinance will be re ported and the full penalty assess ed. So we hope and ask that stu dents will cooperate with the driv ers and help improve the situation by not attempting to crowd the taxis. If the crowd waiting for rides is more than the number of taxis then at College, then it is up to the companies to see that enough taxis are sent in from Bryan to accommodate without anyone’s having to wait too long.” At the same meeting the City Council also adopted an ordinance granting a franchise to the Bryan- College Tractor Company granting them the rights of operation in the city for the period of twenty years. The ordinance requires only the signatures of the parties concerned to go into effect. No vehicles operating under this ordinance shall transport at any one time a number of passengers in excess of the passenger-carrying capacity for that vehicle as listed by the manufacturer. Bus drivers must have chauffeur’s licenses issued by the state, and may not operate a bus more than ten hours in any 24-hour period. Vehicles must be in safe mechanical condition for use. The company is required to maintain bus service for the inhab itants of the city, and must operate on fixed schedule. Vehicles must be operated in conformity with all the ordinances of the city. Main was president of the Ame rican Society of Public Account ants in 1922. He was one of the founders of the Pittsburgh Chap ter of Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and has served on the council at dif ferent times. At present he is vice-president of the Pennsylvania Institute, and also a member of the Texas Society. For many years Main has been a director of the Pittsburgh Cham ber of Commerce and the Pennsyl vania State Chamber of Commerce.
