R. Horsley. The annual is an” official, non profit publication listing the job opportunities normally made avail able by the more than 1,700 par ticipating companies. A&M is one of nearly 600 colleges and univer sities throughout the United States and Canada where it is being dis tributed. Copies for personal or fererence use are available at the Placement Office, located in Room 210 of the YMCA. In 1959-60, as in most years in redent histoi’y* engineers will find themselves most in demand among the recruiters. Close to two-thirds of the companies listed in the an nual are interested in hiring some type of engineer, and cumulative totals show more than 3,600 com pany openings for engineers of various types. Mechanical engineers, for the third year in a row, will be the most popular—some 800 companies list openings for them—but the twin specialties of electrical and electronic engineering are close be hind. The third most desirable man, in the eyes of the recruiters at any rate, will be the chemist. In the most startling jump in demand revealed by the annual, the num ber of companies offering open ings in that field went from 396 in 1959 to 672 this year. Fields with futures, as measured by the number wanting personnel in those categories, are selling, specified by 613; accounting, 516; chemical engineering, 472; and business administration, 459. In dustrial engineers, though still sought-after, found the demand for their services falling slightly, from 481 last year to 431. And, smaller in number but reflecting changing occupational trends, the number of firms seeking mathematicians grew from 177 to 193, and the number seeking electronic computing per- Special Mass Set Here Tomorrow A special mass will be held in St. Mary’s Chapel tomorow at 5:15 p.m. in honor of the Holy Ghost, Catholi© Chaplain Father Charles Elmer, announced today.

All Catholic students and pro fessors are urged to attend. sonnel continued to increase. In all, 236 occupations are either ref erenced or cross-referenced in the book. Articles in the opening section of the annual give tips on many aspects of recruiting and job-hunt ing, including writing resumes, in terview do’s and don’ts, and train ing programs. Others offer help in self-analysis, making job decisions and ways to use the placement bu reau. 95 Attend First Bryan CAP Meet The first meeting of the year was held last night by the Bryan Civil Air Patrol with 50 senior members and 45 cadets present.

Nearly one million dollars has been placed into the Bryan-Col- lege Station economy due to the work of the Texas Engineering Experiment Station, according to a speech by Dr. Aaron Rose to the Bryan Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors Tuesday. Rose also said the employes of the station made their impact on the community as well. He com mended them for their work in the community in church and civic affair’s. He said such people tend to attract industries and make the community grow. “It is necessary that these peo ple become a part of the commun ity and help it in its growth pro gram,” Rose added. Rose said the 70 to 80 people of the 140-man staff of the station who hold bachelor’s degrees or Employe’s Club Announces Plans The Employe’s Dinner Club has announced its schedule of events for the year.

ANNOUNCES the opening of his office for the practice of Obstetrics and Gynecology 24 Mary Lake Dr. VI 6-6715 doctorates add considerably to the community. Rose stated that all but $218,000 of the $711,000 in salaries paid out by the station would probably be spent in the community. Dr. Robert G. Cochran, head of the Nuclear Science Center and the Department of Nuclear En gineering, told the directors that 10 graduate students were enroll ed in courses in his department and that 13 or 14 seniors have registered for senior level work. Cochran said the center plans to get permission from the Atomic Energy Commission to increase the power of its reactor. The in crease would be from 100 kilo watts to five megawatts, making it the largest operation in the United States. Rose said the Engineering Ex periment Station is doing its best to fulfill the needs of the engi neering area in Texas. Many Topflight Entertainers Highlight Texas Prison Rodeo Inmate contestants, plus a host of the nation’s topflight television and recording stars will be the bill of fare for the 28th annual Texas Prison Rodeo here in the prison’s $1,000,000 stadium each Sunday in October. Big name stars such as James Arness, of the TV series, “Gun- smoke,” along with Johnny Cash, popular country-style singer, open the 1959 series on Oct. 4. Dale Robertson of “Tales of Wells Fargo,” and Tommy Sands, sen sational singing idol of the teen age crowd, appear on Oct. 11, while Steve McQueen of “Wanted —Dead or Alive,” teams with sing er Johnny Horton of “The Battle of New Orleans” fame on Oct. 18. For the Oct. 25 performance, prison rodeo officials say they will produce two additional nationally- known stars for the closing of the 1959 series. In addition, there will be other outside acts, rodeo clowns, inmate entertainment groups and mount ed quadrilles from Pasadena and Bellville. The Houston Range Rid ers also will appear and for the firpt time the rodeo will feature a girl’s barrel race event. H. H. Coffield, Rockdale busi nessman, who serves as chairman of the Texas Board of Corrections and its rodeo committee, said, “We are doing everything possible to present the best entertainment feature found anywhere. “We are of the opinion that a well-rounded show, will attract more people to this unusual rodeo which benefits around 12,000 in mates of the Texas Prison Depart ment of Corrections.” Coffield explained that net pro ceeds from rodeo ticket sales are placed in the prisoners’ welfare fund which is used to supply re habilitative services not furnished by the Texas Legislature. Reserve seat tickets at $2.40 and $4.40 each, tax included, may be obtained by writing Rodeo Ticket Office in Huntsville, en closing check or money order.
