Booming BA Dept. Leading
All Others in Total Students
Construction on the A&M Methodist Church, on Sulphur Springs
road in the North Gate area advances as structural steel is put in
place. The church is estimated to cost well over $300,000. The
cost will be supplemented by aid from other Methodist churches
throughout the state.

Ever wonder what the largest
department in the college is?
The answer might surprise a
number of people. The new Busi
ness Administration Department,
formerly the Business and Ac
counting Depai'tment, has steadily
increased its enrollment until to-
l i day it ranks as the number one
i department in size.
The number of B. A. majors, ac-
i cording to department head T. W.
: Leland, has increased from 537
, in the 1946-47 school year to a total
j of 940 during the past year. The
faculty has increased from 17 in
j 1946 to the present 28.
The department became the
! Business Administration Depart
ment this summer after it had
requested the Board of Directors
to approve a provision allowing a
BBA degree to replace the old
Bachelor of Science degree. Provi
sion was also made for a MBA to
substitute for the MS degree.
“The purpose of this title
change,” Leland said, “is to set up
a degree that will better describe
the student’s background of study.”
Degree Popular
This particular degree is grow
ing in popularity in other schools,
where they commonly offer the
BBA degree, Leland added.
Last year the department added
sufficient curricula to make A&M’s

B. A. 403, Income Tax, has been
added. An elective course B. A.
313, Machine Methods of Account

Pact Countries
Plan Command
London, Aug. 3 —(AP) —
The 12 North Atlantic pact
countries are planning to set
up a joint, London-based mili
tary high command, informed
sources said yesterday.
The military agencies of the At
lantic Pact countries now report
to the American-British-French
standing group in Washington.
The group’s leaders—U. S. Lt.
Gen. Willis Crittenberger, Brit
ain’s RAF Marshal Lord Tedder
and Lt. Gen. Paul Ely of the
French army—arrived Tuesday for
a two-day talk with the pact’s
council of deputies, now meeting
here.
The new command would fur
nish on-the-spot coordination of
such pact agencies as the alliance’s
Scandinavian, west European and
Mediterranean regional defense
planning groups its supply and
production board and the air and
shipping committees.
The new command would be re
sponsible to the council of de
puties, whose next step is report
ed to be figuring out how the
western countries can fill the gap
between the needs of their defense
and what they have ready—at least
in terms of airplanes, guns, tanks,
steel and other war goods.
French delegates were said in
Paris to favor a pool lumping all
troops—including American—in
one force, or at least a pooling
of pact financial resources for
defense purposes.
Surprise Shower
Honors Miss Wilson
Miss Jane Wilson, bride-to-be of
Joe Marion Thomas, was given a
surprise shower in Houston Satur
day night by Mrs. Lillie Mae Tho

Her mother, Mrs. Emma Wilson,
and about thirty of her friends
shared the party with her.
been enlarged with the addition
of two required and three elective
courses. The required courses are
B. A. 432, Security Analysis, and
B. A. 434, Problems of Finance.
Electives include B. A. 438, Com
mercial Bank Management; B. A.
440, Real Estate Fundamentals;
and B. A. 442, Real Estate Practice.
Other New Courses
Insurance and personnel man
agement curriculas now carry B.
A. 324, Casualty Insurance and
Suretyship; B. A. 440, Real Es
tate Fundamentals; and B. A. 437,
Applied Life Insurance for the In
surance curriculum, and B. A. 423,
Personnel Policies and Techniques
for personnel management.
The increased enrollment in the
field and the additional courses
offered have presented the problem
of quarters. The result is the new
wing on Francis Hall which will
provide needed offices and class
rooms.
A look into the future will find
the department occupying the
whole of Francis Hall. That, how
ever, will be several years hence,
Leland said. The department will
continue to occupy quarters in the
temporary barracks area.
Leland returned Tuesday night
from The University of California
at Berkley where he had been
teaching courses in auditing an
income tax since June 19.
MSC To Beat
Heat With Air
Conditioning
“Beat the heat” could easily be
the motto of the new Memorial
Student Center. Completely air-
conditioned, the building will be
the answer to college’s hot weather
problems.
“The Memorial Student Center
is equipped with the best type of
air-conditioning on the market,”
said C. R. Brock, assistant building
superintendent.
The York Company, air-condi
tioning and refrigeration firm, is
the manufacturer of the 300 tons
of air-conditioning equipment. The
system, responsible for the main
tenance of an approximate 74 de
gree temperature, chills the water
to 45 degrees before it enters the
coils to cool the air intake.
The system is an open-air type,
which prevents a loss of suction
through the pumps, Brock said.
Water is stored in a reservoir
three stories above the pumps, and
the gravitational pull on water
helps to prevent this loss of suci
tion.
The cooling unit, said Brock, is
powered by two 150 horsepower
electric motors and condenses the
refrigerant fluid, frenon, for the
cooling effect.
Safety devices which cut off or
adjust the phases of the air-con
ditioner protect the unit from dam
age.

Lipscomb Attributes Success *
To Experience of 38 Years
comb built his own store at the
west corner of Main and Sulphur
Springs Road.
During his years of travel and
work for various stores, he found
time to work on his degree in phar
macy, and became a certified phar
macist in 1918.
Last September, the Lipscomb
store was completely redecorated
and modernized. It has been air-
conditioned since 1940, and had
one of the last air-conditioning
units installed before the war.
Air conditioning units were prac
tically impossible to find in 1940.
Lipscomb happened to find one
while he was traveling, and had it
sent to College Station. As soon
as it arrived, Lipscomb had it in
stalled, but almost not soon enough,
Equipment Frozen
The installation was completed,
and while tests were being run the
next day, word was received that
all such equipment wasi frozen. II
Lipscomb had been one day later
in installing the air-conditioner,
he would have had to hold it until
the end of the war before he could
have utilized it.
Lipscomb is very active in Col
lege Station community life. He
is a member of the Kiwanis Club,
and Civic Club, and is a represen
tative of the A&M Former Stu
dents Club of Brazos County. He
is president and a member of the
board of directors of the College
Station State Bank.

Every year Lipscomb co-spon
sors, with “Flop” Colson, sports
awards in all the major sports.
Awards are given to the most val
uable player in football, basket
ball, baseball, and track. Awards
are also given to the captains in
each of these major sports.
Assisting Lipscomb in the Pre*
scription Department of the phar
macy are E. P. Bennet and O. K,
Smith. Bennet was a February
graduate from the University of
Texas. Smith, who has been a
pharmacist for twenty-two years,
has been with Lipscomb for eleven
years. He is a graduate of the
Danforth School of Pharmacy.
Mrs. Rich is in charge of the
cosmetic department, and , Mrs.
Oscar Gregg is the head cashier.
