Walter Williams Easy Goal Members of the Student Senate will begin registration tomorrow of students desiring to donate blood in the annual campus Blood Drive—one of the most worthwhile movements at Texas A&M. * u The actual donation is slated for March 17 during the off hours of students who volunteer to give their blood. The goad of 400 pints this year will go to the Wadley Foundation in support of the Texas Children’s Research Foundation, mostly for use in combating leukemia and hemophilia. Student Senate representatives have gone further in at tempting to schedule the donations for students at the most convenient time. The only requirements are a few brief min utes and a pint of blood. The record of uses for blood donated by Texas A&M stu dents is excellent. In 1958 the plasma was necessary in sav ing the lives of 14 persons. Last year the blood donated by students of Texas A&M benefitted persons suffering from hemophilia. The Blood Drive will also be working in coordination with a movement in College Station. A goal of 600 registrants has been asked this year, since a portion will have to be refused for minor ills and blood pressure. And the request is actually rather conservative considering Texas A&M boasts an enrollment in excess of 7,000. Such a goal would require but one pint of blood from every 11 students—less than a 10 per cent turnout. It would require a very minute effort on the part of each student to raise this request substantially for a positive cause. In addition, the movement could be supported on an out fit basis in the Corps of Cadets and on a dormitory basis among the civilian students. Several factions on the campus have already planned for the Blood Drive. However, figures from last year show that all volunteering to give blood can not give due to colds, blood pressure and other causes. Other students are necessary to take up the apparent slack and make the Drive a definite success. The 1960 Blood Drive is simple, worthy and appropriate. # # Again, the only prerequisites are a few brief minutes and SOClCll VwTIlVl a pint of blood. . . by Jim Earle Among the Faculty and Staff Physics Prof Has Worked ■For Three Colleges At Once “Gentlemen, our problem has become more complex!

From 625 votes mailed to the chambers in the two areas, a positive vote of 472-10 in favor of the merger was returned. One was unmarked. The Bryan vote from 625 mailed ballots was 392-7 in favor of the merger and one unmarked on the returns. In College Station, the vote was 80-3 in favor of the merger of the 137 mailed ballots. This vote of approval on the impending merger effective April 1 is a magniminous stride forward on the part of the leaders in the Brazos Valley area. Congratulations to the re spective Chambers of Commerce on a necessary move. df [' /n j L ~ FRANCAIS.. .i /ACCENT EST \tilFi* uvfa. gy t&C AIR FRANCE Live outdoors in the sun, toss cares: into the sea, Go native a la Roman or Greek!

By BOB SLOAN Assistant News Editor Possibly the only professor at A&M who can claim that he once worked for three colleges — at the same time—is Cicero Henry Bernard, associate professor in the Department of Physics. During a leave of absence from A&M from 1951 to 1953 Bernard was the senior nuclear engineer for Convair Aircraft in Fort Worth. While living in Fort Worth, he taught atomic and nuclear engineering at the TCU evening school. He was also working as a graduate lecturer, teaching nu clear engineering for the SMU evening school at the Convair plant. “Everything worked out fine for me,” said Bernard, “but the administrations of three Texas universities were confused for a while.” Bernard has been an instruc tor in the Department of Phys ics for the past 19 years, coming here in 1941 as an instructor. In 1943 Bernard was promo ted to assistant professor and in 1947 he became an associate pro fessor, the post he has held since. Bernard has been coordinator of physics courses for engineer ing freshman for the past sev eral years. He supervises the 13 instructors who teach Physics 218 to the 500 engineering stu dents now enrolled in the course. Bernard also teaches a teacher training class for the 20 lab as sistants who help .the professor in the lab. Thestp students get no credit for the course, but the experience they gain will help them in their latter studies Ber nard said. Bernard has had one book pub lished, “Laboratory Experiments in College Physics,” which is used in over 120 colleges and universi ties in the United States. Phillips University awarded Bernard the A.B. degree in 1928. He received his M.S. degree from the University of Kentucky in 1931. Bernard has also attended the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, the University of Texas and A&M. In addition to his two degrees, Bernard has 88 semester hours of graduate work in physics, math, chemistry and engineering. While still in school, Bernard SUMMER JOBS The. following companies will interview sophomores and jun iors Thursday, March 10, in the Placement Office on the second floor of the YMCA Building: Chicago Bridge & Iron Co. will interview sophomores and juniors majoring in architectural, civil and mechanical engineering for summer work with the possibility of permanent employment upon graduation. taught physics and math in Mi ami, Okla. After receiving his M.S. from Kentucky in 1931, Ber nard taught physics and math at Lees Junior College, Jackson, Ky.; chemistry and physics at Duncan High School, Duncan Okla. and physics and math at Altus Junior College, Altus, Okla. He was head of the Depart ment of Physical Sciences at Seminole Junior College at Sem inole, Okla. from 1937 until he came to A&M in 1941. Bernard is listed in “American Men of Science” and ‘Who’s Who in Texas.” He is a member of Sigma Pi Sigma, the Texas Academy of Science and the American Assn. of Physics Teachers. He is past president of the A&M Chapter of the Tex as Assn, of College Teachers and past secretary-treasurer of the American Assn, of University Professors. YOU-A BILLIONAIRE?
