In Study Troubles
A series of help sessions design
ed for freshmen and sophomores in
scholastic difficulty have been
started recently on the campus by
J. E. Loupot, North Gate business
man.
Loupot said yesterday the help
sessions held thus far have been
very successful in removing many
students from the probation list.
Qualified instructors have been

More Mailing Hints
Though it is already too late for
“early Christmas mailing”, Aggies
may still help avoid a tremendous
last minute pile-up of Christmas
mail by sending all gift packages
and Christmas cards immediately.
Acting Postmaster Homer B.
Adams suggested that persons use
Air Mail for every card or gift go
ing to distant out-of-town places.
He emphasized that even a few
^fpocirs delay at such a critical time
pj a y mean disappointment for
friends and relatives on Christmas
day.
A good way to eliminate trouble
in mailing is to go to the parcel
post window during “off” houi’s,
Adams said. This would avoid
large crowds during rush hours of
the early morning, at noon, and
near the closing hours in late af
ternoon.
Mailers can avoid losing Christ
mas cards and parcels by accurate
addressing and using three cent,
first class postage instead of the
unsealed two cent circular rate, he
said. Enclosing the postal zone
number, which speeds delivery of
mail in large cities, is also import
ant.
Adams warned against forget
ting to put postage on mail. In
such cases, the mail is returned to
the sender (if a return address is
indicated), causing delay. The only
alternative if there is no return
addres is to notify the addressee
and ask him to pay the postage
due.
“By following such simple sug
gestions as mailing early, wrap
ping carefully, plainly printing the
address is to notify the addressee
designating zones, citizens will be
assured of safe and timely ar
rival of their Christmas mail,” re
marked Adams.

Experiment Station
Testing Heat Fans
Centrifugal fan testing facilities,
installed in the Texas Engineering
Experiment Station several weeks
ago, are now undergoing extensive
use.
So far, 15 fans have been tested
and 22 more test orders have been
received, said W. D. Scoates, as
sociate research engineer in charge
of testing heat power at the sta
tion.
Lyons Chosen
President Of
Health Group
Dr. C. R. Lyons, director of
Student Health, was elected
president of the Southwest
ern Section of the American
College Health Association
during its recent meeting in Aus
tin.
Mrs. Gene Taylor, supervisor of
the college hospital clerical staff,
was named secretary-treasurer of
the association.
Dr. Lyons, who has been active
in the ACHA for more than 12
years, was vice president of the
group last year, the second year
A&M was a member of the organ
ization. y
Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Louisiana and New Mexico make
up the Southwestern Division. In
cluded in this area are more than
247 colleges, junior colleges, and
universities, with all of these
schools being prospective members
for the organization, said Dr. Ly
ons.
Letters are being sent to all
member colleges by Dr. Lyons in
viting them to send representatives
to the convention which will be
held hei’e for the first time next
December.
Dr. Lyons and Warren Bonney,
college hospital psychologist, will
attend the ACHA National Conven
tion in Los Angeles, California in
March of next year.
obtained by Loupot to teach the
sessions. The sessions are held at
night and provide students with the
important parts of a course sum
med up in note form.
Loupot has also worked through
Corps officers in getting compul
sory memorization 1 of notes given
in the help periods substituted for
other punishment.
“By pi’oviding the freshmen and
sophomores with notes on the most
important part of a course, which
they often fail to get in class, and
then making them memorize the
notes, they can hardly help passing
quizzes if they attend class regular
ly and take even fair notes,” he
said.
“Although a student should not
have to be forced to'study,” Loupot
went on, “if that is what it takes,
at least it keeps him from ‘flunk
ing’ out of school.”
He said the help session instruc
tors had excellent notes' and points
of importance in several courses
which most commonly give fresh
men and sophomores troiible.
Sessions will be held in biology,
zoology, botany, history, chemistry
and math 101, 102 and 103, he
said.
Lectures are held in places such
as “shack D” and the chemistry
lecture room and they last two
hours. Loupot said he planned to
work through company scholastic
officers to keep freshmen and
sophomores informed when and
where the sessions would be held.
“What we need most now are
suggestions on how to make the
sessions better and more effective,”
he said, and asked that anyone
with ideas on the matter turn them
in to him.
Professors have cooperated very
well in preparing the program,
Loupot said.
He said professors have always
contributed help to students low
in grades by giving individual help
at anytime in their off hours, and
seem willing to help any program
which will aid the students schol
astically.
