The group has spent six weeks studying plant-animal interrela tionships, collecting, and preparing study skins of birds, mammals, reptiles' and amphibians. Most of the collecting was done on the western slope of the Sierra Madre del Sur Mountain Range in the vi cinity of Aqua del Obispo and Almo Longa, Guerrero. The group apparently was quite successful in collecting a wide as sortment of wildlife specimens. Among these was one of the rarest living specimens collected in the world.

Les Richardson, principal of the A&M Consolidated schools, said yesterday that the exterior work on all A&M Consolidated schools would be completed this week. This repair work consists of re finishing the floors and painting all buildings on the outside. All labor used in this repair work is furnished by regularly employed personnel of the A&M Consolidated school system. They will spend the remaining part of the summer as^ sembling new desks and chairs fqr the new high school. In addition, they will prepare the class rooms in the new high school for use this fall. A small group of Texas profes sional and technical men are ex pected to arrive in East Pakistan in September to set up headquar ters and begin organization of a $1,700,000 technical assistance pro gram between the A&M College system and the University of Dac ca. The work, which will be ex panded as additional field staff members are sent from Texas, is being done under a three-year con tract recently signed between the Foreign Operations Administration of the United States government and the A&M System. A&M vice chancellor for agricul ture, D. W. Williams, who is in charge of the system’s foreign program, is now selecting the key personnel for the project. The initial group will be headed by an administrator with the title of chief advisor and will include teach ing, research and extension special ists. These Texans will work with the schools of the University of Dacca in the development of modem teaching, research and extension programs in agriculture, engineer ing, home economics, business and teacher training. The Pakistan schools with which they will work include the East Bengal Institute of Agriculture at Dacca, the East Bengal Veterinary College at Dac- Grove Announces Next Attractions It may be students’ last chance to relax at the movies before the final exam cramming sessions start. “Man Behind the Gun” starring Randolph Scott will be showing at the Grove Tuesday. Wednesday’s attraction will be “Return to Para dise” with Gary Cooper. H. R. Brayton, director of the school for the Texas Engineering Extension Service, explains the course is aimed at reducing loss to the state’s property owners from uncontrolled fires. Since the school started he estimates, about $2 mil lions has been saved in fire insur ance premiums by Texans. The State Fire Insurance Commission now allows three to five per cent reductions in key rates for cities which send firemen to the school. Fifteen thousand professional and volunteer firemen have been enrolled in past courses, the direc tor says. Caudill To Talk Before Educators At Harvard July 21 William W. Caudill, former pro fessor in the department of archi tecture and now senior partner in the . architecture firm of Caudill, Rowlett, Scott and Associates, will be a featured speaker at an edu cators’ meeting at Harvard Uni versity on July 21. School building men from the six New England State Depart ments of Education will be special guests to hear Caudill’s talk on “Planning a Dynamic Architecture for a Dynamic Education.” The meeting, part of a six-day institute, is sponsored by the Cooperative Program in Educational Adminis tration in New England. Caudill’s firm, composed of for mer teachers and architecture stu dents at A&M College, has built more than 50 schools in Texas and Oklahoma in the past four years. Their designs have won national honors in competition sponsored by the American Institute of Archi tects and by The School Executive magazine. The firm’s newest project is a $4V& million school plant in San Angelo. It will include a new $2 million high school and remodeling and additions to existing elemen tary schools. ca, the Ansanullah Engineering College at Dacca, the Women’s Training College at Mymensingh, the Teachers Training College at Dacca, the Primary Training Col lege at Mymensingh and the Gov ernment College of Commerce at Chittagong. Under the $1,700,000 contract recently signed by the FOA and A&M system, the Texas system is employed to carry out projects and activities in the fields of educa tion, agriculture, engineering, busi ness administration and home eco nomics in order to strengthen the educational, research and extension program of the University of Dac ca. The field staff, which will live in Pakistan, will include the Chief Advisor and twelve professional and technical men. They will study the work of the University of Dac ca and its associated schools and make recommendations for improv ing procedures and adding needed facilities for teaching research and extension. They will organize and supervise new pi’ojects and will su pervise construction of new facili ties. A small staff will be maintained in Texas to tie in the field work with that of the system and to handle other phases of the assist ance program, which will include exchange of teachers and students for training here and in Pakistan. This staff will also select a num ber of consultants who will visit Pakistani throughout the program for short-time work in their spe cialties. The contract, which became ef fective on June 24, is to run for three years, but the hope has been expressed that the initial program will lead to a permanent working relationship between the two edu cational institutions.
