Get SnotKer Degreed v . Undergrad Hours For Ph. B. Listed Up to 12 credit hours taken in residence at A&M may be used to ward the Bachelor of Philosophy degree offered by Post Graduation Studies, according to a recent rul ing by the Academic Council. These hours cannot also be used toward a student’s first degree and they must be courses compatible with the aims and objectives of Post Graduation Studies. Virgil M. Faires who is in charge of Post Graduation Studies, point ed out that some seniors graduat ing next June may have only a few required hours left to take, and may profitably employ their school time by taking courses acceptable toward another degree. The following courses have been approved for transfer to Post Graduation Studies on petition of the student: Agricultural Economics 324, Ag ricultural Prices, (3-0) 3..

Barlow, - AJM JMJ U JMJhK- (Continued from Page 1) are quite a number mailed from Denton by the women) of TSCW. Once in a while a letter, post marked at College Station but giv ing a Denton address, arrives. These, Bill says, are mostly “float outs” from one Aggie to another. Requests come in forms other than just postcards, though, and from places other than A&M or Denton. Letters from such dis tant points as England and Ger many have been received.'These were from Aggies who are spend ing some time in the Army and don’t want their buddies to for get them. Special delivery and telegraphic requests have also been racked up. Bill admits that he doesn’t go along with the Stan Kenton fans, although their requests get the same treatment as the others. Paul Weston and Tommy Dorsey are his favorites. “Slim” Thomas, the private eye, was born as a special feature to add something different to the pro gram. Also in this category are occasional contest ssuch as “The Worlds’ Best Cold Cure” 0 rthe “How Many Grooves On A Rec ord” affair. Response to these fea tures is good, the best drawing almost 100 letters. Bill, besides handling “On The Beam,” occasionally doubles as a sports announcer. Is was in con nection with this duty, while broad casting a Bryan Bomber baseball game, that his worst momlent in radio occurred. The game was be ing recorded, and somewhere in the process Bill left out half an inning. It hasn’t been recovered yet. Bill, who is a member of Tau Beta Pi and the Scholarship Hon or Society, will graduate from A&M this spring, but he expects a call from the army will prob ably cut short his radio career, for a while at least. Whether he will resume broadcasting after his stretch in the army is some thing as yet undecided. However, uncertain as his radio future is, Bill inaugurated a new program last Saturday night. Tak ing KORA’s remote equipment to a local inn, he opened a request show from the inn that will run every Saturday night from 10 until 11. Called “Saturday Date,” this is the first program of its type in this area. When questioned as to what one thing keeps up listener interest in “On The Beam,” ‘Slim” thought a moment and then rolling his special private eye, answered with one word,. “Requests.” What’s Cooking AAUW, 7:30 p.m., Monday.

ARGENTINA SOLVES QUIZ DISPUTE BUENOS AIRES —(A>)_ Quiz program directors here don’t have to rack their brains any more to think up new prizes. And manu facturers won’t get any more free publicity out of supplying them, Pither. dean of engineering announces. They are a combination of petro leum engineering and business, chemical engineering and business, and petroleum engineering and chemical engineering. A new course in building ■ pro ducts marketing has been arrang ed between the School of Engineer ing and the School of Arts and Sciences, Barlow says. This course will be administered in the De partment of Business and Account ing. It is aimed to provide funda mental training in business and some engineering, principally for the purpose of preparing young men for the light building material industry. A course in industrial accident prevention will also be offered in the department of industrial ed ucation. This pew course will be known as I. E. 306 and will con sist of an analysis of the funda mentals of accident prevention and their application to indus trial supervision and manage ment. This will be an elective course for juniors and seniors generally in the school of engineering although other students may he admitted. The course will be taught by J. W. Hill, director, workmen’s compen sation insurance on the campus. This course will be of particular in terest to students who plan to go into operational types of work and will be offered for the first time in the spring of 1949.

D. 402, which will in clude advanced graphics and re cent developments in engineering drawing, review of recent re search in graphics, monography and related fields, will be offer ed. Mathematics 213, a new course in supplementary calculus, has al so been added, Barlow says. This is a three-hour course and is de signed especially for transfer stu dents who present six hours of cal culus from another institution of higher education. “This new course is arranged to remedy the defi ciency between the six-hour cal culus course of other institutions and the eight hour calculus course offered at A&M at prsent,” Barlow points out. A&M Debate Team Competes in Waco Representatives of the Aggie Discussion and Debate Club will go to Baylor Tuesday to partici pate in a program of discussion and debate, according to Harrison E. Hierth, Director of Forensics. Larry C. Goodwyn and Billy Stephenson will take part in a panel discussion on the question: Resolved that the Taft-Hartley Act should be repealed.

MAIN BRYAN She’s wearing our pin.«« Hame Nature and International Harves ter have been “going steady”for a long time Just as undergraduates wear pins to indi cate their membership in various college organizations, so do employes of Interna tional Harvester wear service pins to denote the number of years they have been with the Company. And just as students bestow their pins on favored young ladies, so have Harvester men, in effect, given their pins to Mother Nature. Because for more than 100 years, the business which is now called International Harvester has been basically one of build ing an ever-increasing variety of ma chines to help in the production and con servation of food and raw materials, in the transportation of such articles, and in construction and power projects which change the face and harness the forces of nature. So we think we are very much in the role of Mother Nature’s steady companion. But proud as we may be of the ma chines we produce, we think an equally important contribution to the social good has been our development of methods for soil conservation. Little was known about soil conserva tion when most colleges and universities were founded, or when the business which is today the International Harvester Com pany had its start in 1831. But today we all appreciate the need to guard our soil against the ravages of wind and water ..; and are learning how to do it. The importance of soil conservation is indicated by the fact that soil scientists estimate that the productivity of 10,000 farms of 100 acres each is seriously im paired each year by lack of proper soil conservation methods. And that more than 700 million tons of surface soil are carried each year by the Mississippi River alone, into the Gulf of Mexico. It is a source of great satisfaction to International Harvester that it has been able through the years to make a substan tial contribution to the progress of soil conservation. We have done this by build- INTERNATIONAL ing the machinery which makes modern conservation methods possible, and by cooperating with local and national gov ernmental agencies engaged in this im portant work. The basic soil conservation work on most farms can be handled by Interna tional Harvester’s regular line of farm machines, powered by Farmall tractors. Through continuing research, Interna tional Harvester will continue to seek bet ter and better ways to conserve our soil. To continue to be a steady companion to Mother Nature. HARVCSTCft ? HARVESTER
