FEBRUARY ENGINEER GRADS
The Placement Bureau has been advised
by a subsidiary company of the United
States Steel Corporation that they will
have some openings for midterm techni
cal graduates and will be glad to receive
applications from such seniors who are
interested. Any engineering senior who
will graduate at midterm and who is in
terested in looking into this, should come
by Room 138, Administration Building, at

SENIORS
All seniors are urged to turn in their

FRESHMAN ENGINEERING STUDENTS
Each year quite a number of freshmen
enroll in the School of Engineering whose
scholastic preparation is not sufficient to
enable them, even with earnest and faith
ful study, to pass the freshman work in
engineering.
John Tarleton Agricultural College at
Stephenville, a branch of this institution,
by reason of its endowment, is required to
offer not only the first two years of col
lege grade work, but also the last two
years of high school work. In the past few
years many students who have not had
adequate preparation for college work in
engineering have transferred to John
Tarleton, but it has been necessary that
they wait until February to enter. At John
Tarleton students can take courses of
senior high school level and it has been
found that students who applied them
selves have been able to return to A. & M.
with the essential basic training.
Arrangements have now been made for
students who desire to do so and who are
recommended by the Dean of Engineering
at A. & M. to transfer to John Tarleton
immediately after the November 16th
grades are received and classes will be
fgrmed for them at that institution in
order that they may go right into basic
courses, particularly mathematics and Eng
lish. In addition, students having passing
grades in engineering drawing with plates
all in, and in military science, will be al
lowed to go into the college grade classes
in those subjects. Dean J. Thos. Davis at
Tarleton will be glad to go over the record
of each transfer student individually and
advise with him as to which basic courses
he should carry and which college courses
he should retain.
It would be well for any freshman en
gineering student who has found his high
school work inadequate and who desires
to take advantage of this opportunity to
communicate this notice to his parents or
guardian, securing IN WRITING their
approval of the transfer so that no time
will be lost.
With diligent study almost any student
finding himself in the situation described
should be able to return to A. & M. next
year with a fine chance to pass his work
creditably.
Gibb Gilchrist,
Dean of Engineering

HE BOWLS WITH EXTRA SPEED AND EXTRA POWER
SMOKES CAMELS
FOR EXTRA PLEASURE
His “Fireball” made him a bowling
champion. Slower burning won
Joe Norris to Camel cigarettes
WHAT A AIAN in a bowling alley! He was the "boy
wonder” a decade ago. Today, with a long list of na
tional titles at his belt, the bowling world still wonders
just how he gets such pin-blasting power and such hair
line control... such extra power and extra control!
No question, though, how Joe Norris gets the extras in
‘his cigarette. He turned to the slower-burning brand...
Camel... for extra mildness and found several other
pleasing extras as well, including extra smoking.
Slower burning...costlier tobaccos—pleasure
they can add to smoking! More mildness and coolness
because Camels are free from the irritating effects of
too-fast burning. More flavor—because slow burning
lets the flavor come through. And along with extra
pleasure—extra smoking per pack {see below, right).
R. J. Reynolds Tob&cco Co., Winston-Salem, N. C.
GElTHE'EXIRASlWITH SLOWER-BURNING CAMELS
THE CIGARETTE OF COSTLIER TOBACCOS
THIS IS the "Fireball.” Joe Norris {above) uses a
two-finger mineralite ball with narrow grip —a
quick-breaking hook —throws one of the fastest
balls in bowling. But no speed...no fast burning...
for Joe in his cigarette. It’s always slow-burning
Camels. He says: "Camels give me extra mildness.
And there’s nothing like a Camel for flavor.”
EXTRA MILDNESS
EXTRA FLAVOR
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. That means,
on the average, a smoking plus equal to
5 EXTRA SMOKES PER PACK!
