S. Army general have on A&M ? This is a big question that has been in many people’s minds since Brig. Gen. James B. Han nigan was nalned May 1 as new dean of students. Vice President Earl Rudder made it clear yesterday after noon that, “We are not going to make A&M into another West Point.” “These were the first instruc tions I gave Jim and he agreed with me completely,” said the Vice President. Hannigan was picked because he filled perfectly the needed qualifications of the man for the job, said Rudder. “He has had experience with men as an Army commander, ex perience with teaching while an instructor at West Point and is familiar with civilian adminis- tration while serving in the of fice of the undersecretary of the Army. These qualifications make him the perfect man for the po sition,” Rudder added. It will be Hannigan’s job to coordinate and motivate the Corps and the civilian student body to the same end—securing an education and working in harmony with each other, the Vice Pi'esident said. “Hannigan will not be a gen eral when he arrives here in Au gust; he will simply be Jim Han nigan, Texas A&M’s dean of students,” Rudder said in out lining his duties. - Hannigan *as also strongly recommended by Undersecretary of the Army Hugh M.

JOHNNY JOHNSON EDITOR David Stoker Managing Editor Bob Weekley ’ Sports Editor Bill Hicklin, Robbie Godwin — News Editors Ken Coppage, Jack Hartsfield, Joe Callicoatte, Bob Saile, Sam Spence, Jim Odom, Bob Roberts, Jack Cooper, Bill Broussard, Tommy Holbein, Ben Trail, Bobby Dodson, Joe Chambtrs, Jay Collins Staff Writers Dave Mueller, Laney McMath, Voris Riley Photographers As one means of promoting the progress of science, the Na tional Science Fundation plans to award approximately 75 senior postdoctoral fellowships to in dividuals planning additional study and/or research, Dr. John B. Page, dean of the Graduate School has announced. The fellowships will be award ed on Dec. 7, 1959. Closing date for receipt of application is Oct. 5, 1959. Primary purpose of these awards is to provde an oppor tunity for individuals several years past the doctoral degree to supplement their training, Page said. The fellowships will be award ed in the mathematical, physi cal, medical, biological and engi neering sciences, including an thropology, psychology (exclud ing clinical psychology), and from the following social scien ces, where they conform to ac cepted standards of scientific in quiry by fulfilling the require ments of the basic scientific method as to objectivity, verifi ability and generality: geo graphy, mathematical economics, econometrics, demography, in formation and communication theory, experimental and quan titative sociology and the his tory and philisophy of science. Also included are interdiscrip- linary fields which are compris ed of overlapping fields among two or more sciences. Selection of fellows will be made from among citzens of the United States solely on the basis of ability, Page said. Senior Postdoctoral fellow ships are available to any citizen of the United States who has demonstrated ability and special aptitude for advanced training; who, relative to his age, exper ience and opportunities, has a- chieved recognized stature as a scientist; and who, as of Oct. 5, 1959, has held a doctoral degree in one of the basic fields of sci ence for a period of at least five years. Applications will also be ac cepted from individuals without a science doctorate but who meet other eligibility requirements and can demonstrate that they have had scientific training and research experience equivalent to that represented by a science doctorate of at least five years’ standing. The 1959-GO Westinghouse Fel lowship in Power Systems Engi neering established in 1949 at A&M by the Westinghouse Ed ucational Foundation, goes to John L. Shanks, ’55, of Beeville. Shanks was selected by a com mittee of the Department of Electrical Engineering for the fellowship. The selection is made on scholarship and past performance. He was an out standing student in electrical en gineering. He received his B.S. degree in 1955 and his M.S. degree in 1956, electrical engineering. Since 1956 he has been employ ed by the Jersey Production Co. of Tulsa, Okla. The fellowship, worth $3,000, also aids in the support of the Fellowship work in electrical en gineering. It is effective Sept. 1, when Shanks returns here to work on his Ph.D. degree. The grant has played a ma jor role for the doctorate pro- gram which the college’s De partment of Electrical Engineer ing conducts. Many of the Ph.D.’s in electrical engineering since 1949 have received bene fits from this award. •‘vjhe Sleepy View .
