THE BATTALION
* Baylorites Are Not
|j Afraid of Friday 13
Waco, Texas—Education may or
* may not do away with super
stitions but Baylor University
freshmen defied a long standing
fear in answering the first roll
call last week.
Entering students were due to
arrive on the campus on that day
of all days—Friday the thirteenth.
If Varied tests were given the new
students over the week-end prior
to opening registration Monday.
Members of other classes register-
& ed Tuesday, and first lectures
were given Wednesday.
Red Cecil Is Lost
From Aggie Track Team
It is probable that Walter (Red)
Cecil, star sprint runner of the
Texas Aggie track team will not be
in school this season.
His father is seriously ill in
Freeport and it is feared that the
speedster will not return to school.
In 1935 Cecil won the state high
school track title for Freeport and
made the All-America high school
track team by running the century
in 9.6. He has been an outstanding
sprinter and broad jumper at Ag-
gieland for the past two seasons.

Results Of First Year’s Activity Of Placement
Bureau Is Shown Through Survey Of Season’s Work
By Lucian Morgan
Director, A. & M. Placement
Bureau
Special to The Battalion: Hav
ing felt for some time that the
College should have a centralized
placement bureau, the Board of
Directors of the Association of
Former Students authorized, on
March 4, 1939, the appointment of
a Faculty-Former Student Com
mittee to work with Association
Secretary E. E. McQuillen in de
veloping the program. A local com
mittee was appointed to servewith
Secretary McQuillen which con
sisted of the following men: H. C.
Dillingham, ’22, professor of elec
trical engineering; Harold Vance,
head of ePtroleum Engineering
Dept., T. W. Leland, head of the
Accounting and Statistics Depart
ment; Luther G. Jones, ’21, pro
fessor of agronomy; Fred P. Jag-
gi, Jr., ’24, head of the Veterinary
Hygiene Department; C. C. Hedges,
head of the Chemistry and Chem
ical Engineering Department; R. L.
Elkins, ’33, assistant professor of
economics; R. P. Ludlum, history
department; and Colonel Ike Ash-
burn, executive assistant.
In order to secure further infor
mation and guidance in organizing
the placement bureau, E. E. Mc
Quillen attended the annual con
vention of the American Alumni
Council and while on the trip visit
ed Iowa State College, Massachu
setts Institute of Technology, and
Cornell University, studying their
student placement bureaus.
Additional work and study was
given to the establishment of a
placement bureau and the Board
of Directors and the Association, at
their summer meeting in July,
1939, authorized full speed ahead
and the appointment of a joint
Faculty-Former Student Advisory
Committee, composed of the follow
ing men:
Dr. C. C. Hedges, head of the
Chemistry and Chemical Engineer
ing department; M. C. Hughes,
head of the Electrical Engineering
Department; Dr. F. P. Jaggi, Jr.,
’24, head of the Veterinary Hygiene
Department, J. Wheeler Barger,
head of the Agricultural Economics

and R. R. Peeples, ’28, Tehuacana.
This committee met in the early
part of September to consider fi
nal plans for the stablishment of
the placement bureau as an inte
gral part of the Association of
Former Students. Lucian M. Mor
gan, ’35, was employed as Assistant
Secretary of the Association and
Director of the Placement Bureau.
The Placement Bureau operates
on a cooperative basis with the
Faculty of the College and relies
heavily on the Faculty for their
recommendations and other val
uable assistance. The major aims
of the Bureau are:
1. The establishment of a cen
tralized placement service to work
in cooperation with the college
staff and employers, in placing A.
& M. men.
2. The development of a program
to acquaint prospective employers
with the products of the A. & M.
College.
3. The promotion, in cooperation
with the Faculty, of an educational
program of vocational guidance for
students.
4. Employment and placement
efforts for men already out of
school—both graduates and non
graduates.
5. The development and mainten
ance of personnel records.
6. The performance of conscien
tious and worth while services to
both present and prospective em
ployers.
With the close of the Commence
ment exercises on June 1, the Place
ment Bureau completed its first
year of operation. The results
from the past school session have
been very encouraging and the Bu
reau has received many compli
ments from visiting representatives
of industry.
A total of 750 seniors and grad
uate students executed personnel
records, and, of these, 405 had the
printed personal data sheets pre
pared. These data sheets were sent
out in booklet form, by depart
ments, to 250 industries to show
what the particular department had
to offer in this year’s graduating
class. The leaflets were also used
by seniors in requesting interviews
and by the Bureau in making rec
ommendations.
The Bureau assisted in conduct
ing interviews for more than 50
industries visiting the campus, 10
of these firms having never been
to the college before. 4,000 an
nouncements were mailed out and
about 2,500 letters were written to
prospective employers.
During the summer months the
Bureau is busily engaged in keep
ing track of this year’s graduating
class, contacting employers, and
preparing for next year’s seniors.
It is realized that it will require
from three to five years to have
the Bureau operating as planned,
but the first year's work has shown
the need of the College for a cen
tralized office, working in coop
eration with the Faculty in the
interest of A. & M. alumni:
