This is the appointment, finally, by the governor of the Texas Commission on Higher Education. To get the waiting part out of the way—it’s about time. Now on to why this Commission can be so beneficial to A&M. Money, as is well known, has long been a problem around state schools—and around A&M in particular, because of its major status as a technical school. A technical school takes more money per student to run than does a liberal arts school. But, in the past, the same formula for determining allocations by the State Leg islature has been used for all of the schools. With the Commission now appointed plans can be made for a restudy of the formula—and for action taking into consideration the high cost of A&M’s technical program. And maybe the federal government might take a hint and consider the special status of military colleges as com pared with the “twice-a-week” program of other schools. Both A&M and military students at A&M need, and de serve, a better financial arrangement. Board on Education Chosen Open House (Continued from Page 1) the Agricultural Building.

PARTISANS—Civilian students living in Bizzell Hall, which as one can easily see is contributing men to the Maroon team in the 12th Man Bowl Dec. 15, have come up with an order to its favorite to “go.’' Practice for both teams has been going for the past two weeks. The game will be played at 3 p.m. on Kyle Field. Fifteen men have been named by Governor Allan Shivers to the newly-created Commission o n Higher Education, which will be a superboard of directors over the state’s colleges. Shivers made the appointments Wednesday. A. M. Muldrow, former Secre tary of State and now Brownfield oilman, was named by the gover nor as temporary chairman. An organizational meeting of the Commission will be called by Shivers in January, at which time permanent officers will be chos en. Other commissioners are W. N. Durham, Jr., Amarillo; R. T. Wad dell, Odesa; K. B. Moore, Vernon; F. L. Flynn, Harlingen; M. W. Glosserman, Lockhart — all of whose terms end March 31, 1957; Dr. Harry M. Shytles, Sherman; Dr. H. H. Connally Jr., Waco; Harris Melaskey, Taylor; H. H. Dewar, San Antonio; J. W. New ton, Beaumont—all of whose terms end March 31, 1959; Mrs. J. F. Boren, Abilene; Jack Cox, Corpus Christi; Millard Cope, Marshall; John Redditt, Lufkin; and Muldrow—all of whose terms end March 31, 1961. One broad power of the Com mission will be authority to or der the consolidation or elimina tion of programs in a state col lege when it considers such action in the best interest of the school and the state generally. It also has jurisdiction over all colleges. Budget requests by the school will be made up by a form ula prescribed by the Commission, which will submit the proposals to state budget offices and the Legis lature, along with its recommenda tions. The financial powers of the Commission is especially import ant to A&M, for its appropriations from the Legislature are based on the formula used by the Commis sion. The formula which has been used in the past has left A&M short, because costs at a techni cal school such as A&M are more than for the state liberal arts schools. Exchange Store Will Sponsor Huge Book Sale More than 3,000 volumes of books with titles for every reading taste from psychiatry to fiction will be placed on sale at the Exchange Store starting Dec. 7, Carl Birdwell, man ager, said yesterday. The Exchange Store is sponsor ing the book sale as a service to students and College Station resi dents, Birdwell said. Most of the books are remaining stock, bought from publishers at substantially re duced prices. There is a narrow margin, so there is little profit in a sale of this type, he said. Prices will range from 19 cents to $3.98 a copy. Children’s books and other new editions will be on sale. Included in the sale will be such books as Thomas Man’s “The Holy Sinner”, in which the great modern novelist recasts the medieval leg end of a sinner who became Pope and tells the story with all the mortal and psychological insight of true genius. Publishers price was $3v50; Sale ‘.price will be $1. Books on religion, philosophy, science, history, psychology, and fiction will be on sale. “Most of the books will be lim ited, as. .we have only a few copies of each,” Birdwell said.

In the student training pro gram he became familiar With all operations of the business. After that he spent two years on technical and engineering projects that took him to Indianapolis, Cleve land and Atlanta. March of 1953 found Paul in Cin cinnati working on the construction of radio relay routes. He worked with the newest microwave equipment that transmits television pictures and tele phone conversations simultaneously. In 1955, as part of his further development, Paul was transferred to a completely different assignment. He now supervises the important plan ning job of balancing a working force of 900 Long Distance operators with the ever-changing work load. “I use my engineering background on this job, too,” says Paul. “It’s extremely interesting and has lots of responsibility. Besides, you need ex perience in more than one depart ment to give you background.” Paul Guild is typical of young engineers in llie Bell System. Similar career opportunities exist in the Bell Telephone Companies, Bell Telephone Laboratories, Western Electric and Sandia Corporation. Your place ment officer has more information on these companies. BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM SATURDAY ONLY | Bolder than ever! Better than ever! COLUMBIA PICTURES present!
