A committee has been set up by the local chapter of the AMA to study the possibilities of making the serum available at cost to Ag gies and their wives, but so far the committee has not made a re port.

FSA Designs Added Benefits For Faculty Former Student Association President Louis Bloodworth told the local AAUP chapter of a new financial program that could lead to increased benefits for faculty members. Called the A&M College Foun dation, the fund is set aside from the college and the FSA. Al though the fund will help in the scholarship program, principal is being built so the fund can con tribute, from the interest, to en dowed chairs and professorships. Bloodworth said he realized that faculty members could easily be come discouraged when they saw a student began employment at a salary it took them years to at tain. “You must be dedicated people or you wouldn’t be doing this,” he said. As another aim of the FSA, Bloodworth said they hoped to in crease the number of $1,000 Fac ulty Achievement Awards that are given annually. 6 Poultry Majors Trying For Team Six poultry science majors have been hard at work the past few weeks hoping to capture a place on the Junior Poultry Judging Team.
