K I ¥ i Battalion Editorials Piff« 2 TUESDAY, MAY 9, I960 More Thanks' From ^est Point .. ^ A AAM received a joumaiwiic campltaent this mooUi in thr latest imqc of “The Pointer ’ bt-fee+kly magazine of th# Uni- t*d States Military Academy In review of the Weat l\)int Debating Taam a tra- vela. AAM waa listed aa "tha frtendlieat place in the country ” TTie article reported that Cadcfta Jared Schopper and FYank WaUon enpecully were impressed with otir “vigorous handshaking.” , The article in “The Pointer m the set - ond thank you” we have received from the two Army debater* Laat month fol lowing their visit here, they wrote s let ter of thar.ks to the Corps of Cadets. In it they asked us to send s debate team to the Academy so they could have “another crack at tha boys and an opportunity to show them the same kind of hodpitaiity that we received.” We are particularly proud that AAM was singled out in the manner i| which is was. The Weat Point Team has traveled throughout the South, debating on many campuses which, without a doubt, have some attractions which we can t offer Never! he leas their reception here was still the best they had received Regardless how you look at it, we have both as in dividuals sod as a group the fiower to maintain and improve the name of AAM throughout the country. We re our own publicity department, and from the looks of things, we re moving along 'bn all eight cylinder*. The ‘New in (>raduate Studies • This year Humble Oil and Refining Company continues for the fifth consecu tive season h program which should be of utLerVst to every collage student and staff member Called the "Humble I ^ctures in Stlence," the project is actually a senes of “on the job graduate studies The com pany brings to its Baytown refinery tech- ical ex|»erts from every field to lecture to its per»<*inel In effect, the senes brings cotlegn to the man.” - These technical lectures presented to Humble employees are not mere refresher talks They are studies which the company says are each equal to a semes ter of university graduate study. The tech nical employees who take a course are re lieved of ail plant duties and devote full time to lectures which usually last about two weeks There is a written examinahon at the end of each course The men who conduct the lectures, so a Humble publication says are invited fmnj a group of the most distinguished educators in America They s}»eak on top ics which are in a large part, determined from [lersonnsl demand at the refinery The original purpose of the Humble lecture series was to broaden the base and raise the general level of auentific know ledge among its Baytown refinery tech- A man in business had just fimahi'd making out some complicated forms for a government a u rv e y and. when be reached home that nfght. he was exhaust ed After iinner he weanly made his way to bed but instead of going hr tossed and turned for hours ml brain it a whirl as he thought of the various gov ernment regulations with which he had to comply. Finally he started to grin as a thought flashed through his mind ^ Thank liod we re not getting as much government business administration ss we re paying for!” In twenty set (tods he was sound asleep. meal |>ersonnel Proof of the value of the program is dramatic. Almost half of the refinery's new research projects initiated during the paft three years have stemmed from the lectures in science. Enthusiasm among plant petwonnel has been significant. They have accepted the opiKirtumty to study in the eom|>any of the visiting scientists and they have beer quick to take advantage of the les sons to be learned Such a program as this can well be a forecast of things to come The problem of crowding all possible subject* both technical and liberal, into a four year cur riculum is becoming increasingly difficult Dcaduate whool while a valuable and necessary phase of our educational sys tem, require* time away from the job which few technical men in industry can spare As a result, the Humble publica tion says, people in industry arc torn be tween the task at hand and the urgent need for raising their general level of scientific knowledge. This program might well lead the way toward solution of the growing problem of providing adequate training and educa tion for the technician without requiring him to spend an unreasonable number of years within college walls.
