Dry Cleaning And Laundry Training To Be Conducted Sponsorship of training courses offered by the A.&M. Industrial Extension Service to supervisors in laundry and dry cleaning establishments has been assumed by the state associa tion, following action of the board of directors at a meeting in Hous ton September 7. Roland Dansby, American Laun dry and Dry Cleaners, Bryan, is heading the committee to work out details with representatives of the college. E. L. Williams, director of the Industrial Extension service, and D. L. Belcher, Extension instruc tor in supervisory training, met with the board to explain the serv ices available. The training courses are divid ed into five separate units, includ ing: analyzing the supervisory job; personnel problems; work im provement, job analysis, and job planning; accident prevention lead ing to accident causes and their elimination; and leadership prob lems. The first unit was sponsored in the Waco area by the Waco Laundry and Dry Cleaners asso ciation with eighteen members at tending. Results of this training influenced the Texas Laundry and Dry Cleaning association to spon sor the complete program. This training will be given in any locality in which a sufficient number of people request it, Wil liams said. Practical Aspects Stressed In New Architecture Curriculum A complete revision of the curriculum in architecture has been announced by Ernest Langford head of the de partment. The revised curriculum, stressing practical aspects of the architectural profession and emphasizing cultural studies, was adopted after three years of'’ study, Langford said, and brings the A. & M. department abreast of the nation’s most progressive architectural schools. Most striking change in the new course of study, which goes into effect this fall semester, is a re quirement that all graduates spend 12 weeks doing office work out side the college before receiving their degrees. An agreement is be ing made with registered Texas architects for this summer em ployment. The five-year curriculum has been liberalized by requiring few er hours of architectural study, with laboratory work being cut to one afternoon weekly, and calling for more time in cultural courses such as English, history, and lan guage. The architectural engineering degree has been eliminated, on the grounds that it paralleled too close ly that of civil engineering, leav ing two options for students: a bachelor of science degree in ar chitectural construction, or bach elor of architecture for those con centrating on design work. The B.S. is for those interested in construc tion work, while the B.A. is for architects. The curriculum is the same in both options during the first two years, and a student may win both degrees with an extra year’s work, Langford said. Only students who have scholastic averages midway between grades of C and B, or bet ter, will be permitted to begin third-year work. To encourage working with the hands, architecture students will be required to take a number of wood-working and cabinet-making courses. The present custom of building residences, from the ground up, with architectural stu dent labor will be continued, to give the student more than a the oretical education.
