Behind The Scenes TROUBLE Calls for Expert Attention Call for STUDENT CO-OP North Gate Engineers— (Continued from page 1) important contributor of structural innovations in building engineering. Mr. Neutra will spend a week on the campus and in addition to his lectures in connection with the Low-Cost Housing Conference, he will address a general group the latter part of the week. For the week beginning May 20, the college is extremely fortunate in having as a guest lecturer, Thos. H. MacDonald, Commissioner of Public Roads. Mr. MacDonald is generally conceded to be the rank ing highway engineer of the world. For more than twenty-four years he has directed the work of the Bureau of Public Roads and is now Commissioner of Public Roads of the Federal Works Agency. He will deliver three lectures while at A. & M., one of which will be of general interest and to which will be invited members of the engineering profession and build ers of public roads. The other two lectures will be in connection with research in highways and modern trends in design and con struction. On May 20 and 21 the First An nual Conference on Surveying and Mapping will be held under the auspices of the Department of Civil Engineering. For a long time a great need has existed for the establishment of a coordinated plan for surveying and mapping in Texas and some time ago the A. & M. College decided to spon sor such a movement. The con ference arranged at this time is in connection therewith. A. & M. College is generally known as an agricultural school and as such, it is unquestionably among the best in the country. Very few people realize that one- half of the students of the col lege are taking some branch of engineering. The school includes the Department of Architecture, Architectural Engineering, Chemi cal Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Engineer ing Drawing, Industrial Education, Mechanical Engineering, Municipal and Sanitary Engineering, and Pe troleum Engineering. In addition, authorization has recently been given for the creation of Depart ments of Aeronautical Engineering and Industrial Engineering. The Engineering Experiment Station is a part of the School of Engineer ing and is co-ordinated with the various branches. WTAW Series— (Continued from page 1) ern woolen mills. The wool co-ops market more than 20 percent of the nation’s wool production. These associations, according to The Story of Wool, have bridged the gap between producers and consumers, solving the problems of marketing, accenting quality and care in the handling and prepara tion of wool for the market. The Farm Credit Administration has a first-hand interest in the prog ress of the wool associations be cause it is authorized and directed by various acts of Congress to pro mote cooperative marketing among farmers. “Since the inception of the move ment for cooperative wool market ing in 1909, there has been a grad ual improvement in marketing methods,” says a statement from the Farm Credit Administration. “Since 1933 the movement has pro ceeded at a quickened pace and to day we see a new pattern in wool marketing, a pattern that is grad ually being adopted by all the in dustry.” Of 75 students at Sam Houston State Teachers College, Huntsville, Texas, who were asked to name the school song, only six knew, says The Houstonian.

Smoke Camels. Enjoy the extra mildness, extra coolness, and extra flavor that only Camel’s matchless blend of cost lier tobaccos and slower way of burning can give. Get more pleasure per puff and more puffs per pack (see panel, right). In recent laboratory tests, Camels burned 25% slower than the average of the 15 other of the largest-selling brands tested—slower than any of them.
