r Page 4 THE BATTALION Tuesday, January 22. 1952 New Course Helps Train IE Graduates TFWC President To Speak Jan. 29 A year ago tjie department of industrial education at A&M was authorized to initiate a curriculum in industrial technology which is refered to as Group III in the 75th general catalog. “The express purpose of the new program is to prepare graduates for industry in the departments of production, safety, industrial and human relations, personnel, main tenance and installations, and oth er allied positions,” said Dr. C. H. Groneman, head of the department. “A program of this type had been discussed for a number of years, and after considerable study it was introduced to prepare grad uates of industrial education for jobs which many of them were al ready accepting under the teach ing curriculum. Since 1940, the majority of graduates under the industrial teaching curriculum have entered industry in similar posi tions and have succeeded unusual ly well,” he pointed out. “This popular program provides extensive shop and drafting cour ses for the first two years to ac quaint students with industrial ma terials and processes through ac tual practical application. The jun ior and senior years develop the Student with respect to production, safety, labor problems, supervis ion and foremanship, industrial journalism, industrial psychology, personnel, and other similar cour ses which give the student an ade quate background to accept re sponsible position in industry. “The popularity of this program is shown by the increase in en rollment in the industrial educa tion department.

"Triumph" Desk Set Brazilian Onyx, $17.50 Others from $8.75 THE Exchange Store “Serving Texas Aggies” Air Graduates Must Serve 18 Months on EAD Washington, Jan. 22—(AP) —Before Air ROTC graduates can become regular Air Force officers, they will have - to serve 18 months duty as ac tive commissioned officers—not 12 —the Air Force said today. The new rule will go into ef fect April 1. Regular appointments will be on a competitive basis, the Air Force added. The change in rules will also apply to the aviation cadet and of ficer candidate programs. The top age for a regular ap pointment will go down to 26% years. Previously it was 30, or 27 plus the time on active duty as an officer since Dec. 31, 1947, but not more than five years. Previous regulations called for award of a regular commission to “distinguished graduates” of the Air Force ROTC, aviation cadet, and officer candidate programs af ter 12 months active duty as an officer. After April 1, reserve officers must be on active duty to apply for regular commissions. But the April 1 cutoff date will not af fect outstanding Air Force ROTC men who graduate before Feb. 1, 1953. More than 180 colleges and Uni versities have Air Force ROTC units. Pentagon sources said the rule change reflects the bid of 27,500 Air Force officers put on the flying service. Presently, a portion of the Air Force’s young officers come/ from West Point and Annapolis. The rest must come from civilian procure ment. Air Force officers have been seeking an academy of their own. Mrs. Trenchmami Dames’ Club Head Marge Trenchmann was elected secretary of the Dames Club re cently to replace Myra Burke.

I Studies. First American Life Insurance Go. Gizzard shad, bluegill, red ear, and bullheads are the four main species occupying Bryan Country Club Lake, according to a fishery biology class headed by F. T. Knapp, assistant fisheries profes sor. A preliminary analysis indicates these four species make 96 per cent of approximately 284,000 fishes in the lake and 96 per cent of the total weight. The biology class found eleven different species. Bass constitute less than one percent of the total number but because there are a few large “lurkers” present they make up three per cent of the weight. Approximately half the fish in number and weight are gizzard shad which do not take a hook and are not usually eaten. The other half is almost all' bluegill sunfish which have an average weight each of one ounce. This species is very much underfed Knapp said. The Bryan Country Club Lake Was found an extremely high pro ducer of fish with a standing crop of about 3,000 pounds, per acre. Whitener Transfer AND STORAGE .

No. 1 on U.S. Highways—No. 1 in StaU No. 1 in your community Approximately 97 per cent of these are gizzard shad which do not take a hook and several spec ies of sunfishes and bullheads which, are too small to catch. The larger fish are too well fed on these small ones and therefore do not readily bite the fisherman’s bait. This is probably why the fishing has been poor, Knapp con cluded. in Texas - « > - At Houston Bryan-College Agency JOE DILLARD, Mgr. REPRESENTATIVES L. E. (Skeeter) Winder, ’50 C. R.
