Benson ... dean of school of engineering Benson Welcomes Engineering Fish To Engineering Freshmen: It is a real pleasure to welcome you to A&M. As you arrive on the campus, you will be starting a new phase of your life. The preparation for a cereer is of great importance and is something which no one else can accomplish for you. There are years of arduous labor ahead and only by diligent application can you do the job well. Keep clearly in mind just what your primary purpose for being here is and concentrate your best efforts on it. The field of engineering is a very broad one and you should choose that branch in which you have .a real interest. Industrial develop ments in Texas and the southwest ^ince World War II have been quite rapid and the opportunties for em ployment near home have been greatly increased. For fifteen or more years, the demand for capable engineers has been very strong and it appears that this demand will continue in the foreseeable future. Scientific discoveries are being made at a rapid rate and engineer ing developments are moving for ward, hand-in-hand with the dis coveries. Since forty per cent of the industrial executives of the country are graduate engineers, it indicates that there is ample op- portuntiy for broadly educated en gineers outside of the purely tech nical field. Your first two years in college are largely in the field of general education, basic science and mathe matics. . In fact, the first years work is the same in all branches of engineering and there are only a few differences in the sophomore year. Thus a change in the branch of engineering can be made within the first year with no loss of credits. We, in the office of the Dean of Engineering, will have the re sponsibility and pleasure of help ing to guide you while you are in college and we want you to feel free to come to us with your prob lems. C. H. Ransdell, assistant to the Dean of Engineering, will direct the counseling for engineering freshmen and his years of exper ience in this area will be of great value to you. We extend to you a cordial invitation to come in 1 and get acquainted. Sincerly, Fred J. Benson ' Dean of Engineering Ryan Re-Elected To PSA Position Cecil B. Ryan, professor in the Department of Poultry Science, has been • re-elected secretary- treasurer of the Poultry Science Assn. He has been re-elected to this position each year since 1954. He is also a member of the Executive Council of the Poultry Science Assn. Papers from 15 projects con ducted here were reported on at the Poultry Science Assn, annual meeting in Davis, Calif., Aug. 2-5, Ryan said. He was re-elected at the Cali fornia meeting. Farm, Ranch Ends at Adjunct Thirty-two outstanding farm and ranch youth from every section of Texas attended the sixth annual Range Camp at the A&M Adjunct at Junction last week. Studying and observing good range management practices, soil and water conservation as it re lates to watershed management, livestock selection, plant identi fication and other subjects dealing with range management was on the agenda for the campers. The camp program also included visits to outstanding ranches in the area as well as the Sonora Experi ment Station. Bobby Ragsdale, associate exten sion range specialist, said the camp was staffed by experienced workers in the range management field. They are from A&M, the Agri cultural Experiment Station, the Soil Conservation Service, other Texas colleges, county agricultural agents and vocational agricultural teachers. Scholarships provided by home towns or county organizations en abled the boys to attend the camp, sponsored by the Texas Section of the American Society of Range Management. The camp, Ragsdale said, was part of the Texas Society’s pro gram for making youth more fami liar with the importance of main taining and improving the condi tion of ranges in the Lone Star State. Study Planned Of Oklahoma, Texas Marketing Competitive position and po tential of livestock marketing inj the Texas-Oklahoma area will be analyzed in a special study in which agricultural economists of A&M College will take part. The study will get under way sometime this fall. Cooperating in the study will be the Texas and Oklahoma ag ricultural experiment stations and the Agricultural Marketing Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Dr. John G. Mc- Neely, leader of research in the Department of Agricultural Economics and Sociology, said today. Economists who will conduct the study are Dr. Jarvis Miller of A&M and Dr. Williard Wil liams of Oklahoma State Uni versity and Raymond Dietrich of the Agricultural Marketing Service, now studying at Okla homa State University toward a Ph.D. degree. They will analyze the meat industry of the two states, channels of distribution and their location as affected by regional shifts of livestock pro duction and the marketing practices. Major efforts in Texas will be centered in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and San An tonio areas, McNeely said. Welcome Freshmen TO THE UEON B. WEISS CO.

Price ... veterinary medicine school dean Price Welcome Pre-Yet Freshmen To Preveterinary Freshmen: The career of veterinarian to which you aspire has both prob lems and rewards. The veterina rian is always a public seiwant and must be equipped emotionally and academically to help the livestock producer. The benefits of the serv ice to the livestock producer is the veterinarian’s greatest reward, i Opportunities in veterinary med icine are many and there is an acute shortage of veterinarians. The great need for veterinarians is in general practice where the animal health problems of the live stock producer can be dealt with and profits increased. The federal and state governments heed more veterinarians in animal disease re search and control and in public health. The veterinarian must become well equipped in many areas dur ing the six years of college train ing. First, he must get a broad and basic liberal education so he may effectively deal with the peo ple he is to serve and become an asset to his community.
