In Chicago
Donald D. Burchard, head
of the Journalism Depart
ment, returned Tuesday from
Chicago where he attended
the fall meeting of the Amer
ican Council on Education for Jour
nalism, of which he is a member.
ACEJ is the highest ranking ac
creditation organization for jour
nalism in the nation. A team vis
ited the A&M Journalism Depart
ment last year and accredited it in
two sequences, Community Journal
ism and Agricultural Journalism.
Final plans were laid at the
meeting for accreditation teams to
visit 19 schools in the nation and
examine their journalism pro
grams. The Council plans to visit
all the schools in the nation that
have requested to be visited by the
April meeting of the Council. If
this is accomplished they will have
visited 59 schools in the past year.
ACEJ appointed a committee to
appraise the system of accredita
tion by sequences and determine
whether it should be used in the
future. A report on findings will
be made at the April meeting.

Christmas Seal Sale by the

Drivers’s Training
To Begin Monday
The A&M Engineering Exten
sion Service has developed a new
driver training course for person
nel of the motor transport indus
try.
The course will be conducted on
the campus Monday through Fri
day of next week. It is designed
to help both large and small motor
companies select and train their
own dinvers, according to A. L.
Kramer, the TEES motor fleet
training specialist.
The program will offer instruc
tion on such topics as defensive
driving, special driving techniques,
psycho-physical testing, accident
prevention, driver maintenance,
setting di’iver standards, braking
tests, unifoi’m traffic code and
measurable attitude factors.
Selected insti’uctors, with wide
backgrounds of practical experi
ence and special study, will guide
students through every phase of
driver training, giving demonstra
tions of actual training techniques
that can be put to immediate use
in their own companies.
“Students will get plenty of ac
tive participation during the driv-
so “I’m thinking if some good stout
girl got interested in it I’d learn j ing tests,” Kramer said,
