Profs Become Students
In Ag Eco Experiment
Tt’achers will become students
in an experimental course to be of
fered this semester by the De
partment -of Agricultural Econo
mics and Sociology, according to
an announcement by Dean C. N.
Shepardson of the School of Agri
culture.
Agricultural Economics G23, a
graduate seminar in research
mathodology, will be open only to
staff members in agricultural
teaching, research and extension
divisions of the college, Dean Shep
ardson said.
Workshop Methods
Workshop methods of instruc
tion will be used in order to en
courage maximum participation in
the training process by all mem
bers of the seminar.
“College staffs have long recog
nized the need of training in sys
tematic methods of study and anal
ysis,” Dean Shepardson said. “Rec
ognition of this need is not con
fined to the professional research
man or woman,” he explained.
“Classroom teachers, extension
workers and others recognize the
need of guidance in the orderly
preparation of theses, lectures and
other written material.”
Organized on a voluntary basis,
the seminar will cover four main
phases of scientific investigation
and presentation. First discussions
will center upon the use of work
shop methods for developing re
search data. These will be follow
ed by a consideration of the basic
theory of systematic inquiry, of
the mechanics of sound research
methods and, finally, the prepara
tion of specific project plans.
Personnel from a number of
departments will be represented in
the seminar, headed by a steering
committee of agricultural econo
mists. The steering committee is
composed of Dr. Joe R. Motheral,
chairman, L. P. Gabbard, Dr. W.
E. Paulson and Warren LeBour-
veau.
Outstanding Visitors
Arrangements are being made
for several outstanding scientists
to' visit the seminar as discussion
leaders. The first of these visitors
will be Dr. Joseph Ackerman, asso
ciate managing director of the
Farm Foundation, followed by Dr.
Kenneth H. Parsons, authority on
research methodology at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, and Dr. Har
ry Trelogan of the Agricultural

Williams, Adam
In Washington
D. W. Williams, vice chan
cellor for agriculture of the
Texas A&M System and D. A.
Adam, staff assistant for the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service, left Saturday for Wash
ington, D. C.
Williams is making this trip to
Washington in connection with the
cooperative program being set by
the United States and Mexico for
the improvement of Mexico’s agri
cultural industry. Special emphasis
will be placed on agricultural ed
ucation and research work.
Adam will confer with officials
in Washington on the foreign agri
cultural technical assistance pro
grams. These include the Point
IV Program and the Food and
Agriculture Organization of the
United Nations.
As part of this work, 45 agri
culturists from Turkey are coming
to A&M March 15 for a three-
month institute, said Adam. The
Turks will study agricultural
teaching, research, and extension.
Adam and D. T. Killough, agrono
mist with the Texas* Agricultural
Experiment Station, are planning
the program for the institute.
During 1951, 43 agricultural
technicians from 21 foreign coun
tries came to Texas through the
technical assistance programs.
A&M - Arkansas
(Continued from Page 1)
from the same general difficulties,
the game promises to be a tight
battle all the way.
Where the once Porkers were
without a serious All-Conference
individual contender, they now
have at least two in the persons
of Lambert and Kearns.
In Houston Saturday night, Ar
kansas’ second half comeback af
ter trailing by seven points at the
half was paced by Kearns’ 13
points in the final 20 minutes. His
total for the night, 15.
Kearns looms as a threat to
any scoring ideas that the Aggies’
Buddy Davis might have. He did
an excellent job on the high-scor
ing Schwinger of Rice, holding
him to 12 points.
At present the Cadets, resting
in fourth place, hold a one full
game lead over Arkansas. A win
by the Aggies would move the
Farmers to within one-half game
of third place SMU.
Probable starters for the Cadets
are Buddy Davis, center; LeRoy
Miksch and Don Binford, for
wards; Don Heft, and Woody
Walker at the guard posts.

J. Paul Slieedy* Switched lo Wildroot Cream-Oil
Because He Flunked The Finger-Nail Test
POOR PAUL was having a fowl time. Even his best gal didn’t
give a hoot for him. "Wise she hate me so?” he asked his
roommate. "Simple, you stuffy old bird—because your hair’s
always ruffled up! Better try Wildroot Cream-Oil hair tonic. It’s
non-alcoholic. Contains soothing Lanolin. And does tree things:
Relieves annoying dryness. Removes loose, ugly dandruff.
Grooms hair neatly and naturally all day long. (Even limb-ers
up your scalp. And helps you pass the Finger-Nail Nest-er,
Test!)” Paul got Wildroot Cream-Oil and now he’s a ’owling
success. So why don’t you take a taxi-dermist to any drug or
toilet goods counter to get a bottle or tube of Wildroot
Cream-Oil. It’s your hair’s best friend! And ask for it at your
barber shop. Then there’s no talon how the chicks’ll go for you.
