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.
The federated clubs of Bryan

Mrs. Stubbs will address the
clubs on the general topic of Fed
eration. She has been active in the
Texas Federation of Women’s
clubs since 1938 when she was
elected to the office of recording
secretary.
She served as trustee for the
third district for five years and
was district president from 1936-
38 when she was elected to her
state office. She has been actively
serving the TFWC for 16 years.
Mrs. Stubbs is the mother of a
13 year old son, is a member of
the county board of directors, a
worker in the Red Cross, a mem
ber of the State and District Par
ent Teacher Congress, and a teach
er of Men’s Bible class in Wortham.
Trinity University Graduate
She is a graduate of TeagUe
High School and received a bache
lor of arts degree from Trinity
University. She did graduate work
at the University of Colorado and
for six years was head of the Eng
lish Department in Teague,
Brownsville, and Wortham schools.
Mrs. Strubbs feels that the
greatest need of the TFWC is an
improved attitude on the part of
members, as well as boys and girls,
toward the old fashioned funda
mentals of honesty, responsibility
and service to others.
The Bryan and College Station
community is one of the first to
be visited by Mrs. Stubbs in a
proposed presidential tour through
out the state during which she
will seek to stimulate a new evalu-
atiion of club relationships.

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.

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.

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.
