Here’s a chance for you to pick up a good clean used car, with plenty of miles left in it at a very low cost.

Hearne, Texas $425 $295 Frogland Living Under Probation By JIM BOWER A heavy axe will hang over TCU students’ heads for the next few weeks. It seems that the Froggies “Ranch Week”, an annual affair cel ebrating western customs has been placed on probation in lieu of fur ther misconduct on the part of the celebrating students. The probation was brought about by “a large scale violation of the University’s alcoholic beverages regulation last year.” It was stated that the probation was in effect, an appeal to students to help make Ranch Week a “high class affair.” Better build a fence around “the old water hole.” Wading through the editorials we notice that TCU has made a decision to add 10,000 seats and a $100,000 press box to Amon Carter football Stadium as an incentive toward bringing top collegiate grid teams to Fort Worth. There was no need for this since we were planning to come anyway. m Baylor Turning to Baylor, we see where some young lady has wiatten an editorial blasting what she calls segregation of women by the American male—especially in the field of business. She states in her tirade that the United States constitution guarantees every citizen the right to liberty, life and the pursuit of happiness. We always thought that men themselves were enough of a guarantee to life, liberty and the pursuit to happiness for women. No need for government interference. Elsewhere in The Lariat we find the following: “In the Spring a young man’s fancy . . . .” and so is a young woman.” We’ll drop the subject. No use to talk of things like that here. ' SMU The Hilltoppers are at it again. Apparently ignoring the sympathies of their own Dr. Mouzon, of A&M probation fame, the SMU Campus is on the move to let Texas Tech into the Southwest Conference Currently, they (The Campus) are conducting a survey to deter mine just how SMU students feel about letting Tech into the confei’ence. Also, the Student Council, by a 13-3 vote has passed a resolution con cerning the Tech admittance controversy directed to the Faculty Ath letic Committee. M Tread lightly Ponies.

One of the most important of these busi nesses is the Technical Products Department that makes broadcasting and communica tions equipment and semi-conductor devices. Responsible for managing the finances of this $40 million business is Robert H. Platt. Platt’s Work Is Important, Responsible In the next ten years, the Technical Products Department is expected to reach the $100 million mark — more than doubling its present size. This is a big job. And it requires Platt to keep tabs on everything from tax, cost, and general accounting to payrolls, budgets and measurements, credits and col lections, and internal auditing. 25,000 College Graduates at General Electric Experience gained in the Business Training Course and as a traveling auditor gave Platt a variety of financial experience. Like each of our 25,000 college-graduate employees, he was given the chance to grow and realize his full potential. For General Electric has long believed this: When fresh young minds are given the freedom to make progress, everybody benefits — the individual, the company, the country 0 Educational Relations, General Electric Companyi Schenectady 5, New York
