Enough Information To Start Library When P. Stanley Perera leaves A&M this fall and returns to his native country, Ceylon, he will be armed with enough information and literature to start a small li brary on the subject of college buildings and maintenance. Librarying, however, is not Pe- rera’s profession. He is Inspector of Works in charge of all main tenance and constructional work at the University of Ceylon. Sponsored by the International Co-Operation Assn., the technician TIPS (Continued from Page 1) Your job is not to bid openly for the attention of the big boss. Rather, it is to win a place in the hearts of the rank and file. This accomplishment is hardly likely to escape the boss’ atten tion. To some, you will automatically be one of the “fair-haired” boys. They will not welcome you with open arms. The know-it-alls, the wise guys, who haven’t the sense to refrain from ostentatious display of their intellectual superiority, who give the impression that their talents are being wasted when they are called upon to do actual work, make it tough for the organiza tion, and can throw the whole shop into a tailspin. They usually do not last long, and bounce around from job to job until they settle into that mediocre spot where their limited talents are most likely to go unobserved. Another point to watch for: College men often have a way of associating only with each other. You cannot adjust your life to the lives of others with whom you work unless you learn to know their problems and in terests, and “to talk their lingo.” First signs of your emerging 'eadership is the ability to earn the respect of all. When they feel that you appreciate their efforts, and come to realize that you are a REAL PERSON, your adjust ment is well, on the way t© com pletion. came to A&M in early April to find out all he could about the latest developments in civil engi neering and to study the organiza tion and administration of the col lege’s physical plant. Set About Building He will return to Ceylon around the. end of September and then set about building a better mainten ance workshop at the university. Perera’s training at A&M is un der supervision of Howard Bad- gett, manager of the school’s phy sical plant. In addition to observ ing the organization of the phy sical plant, the Ceylonese visitor is studying sanitary engineering and the hows and whys of soils, building materials, pre-stressed concrete, asphalt, drainage and architecture. Luring July, he attended a physical plant management short course at Purdue University. And in May, he joined the National Assn, of Physical Plant Adminis trators of Universities and Col leges while attending the organi zation’s annual meeting in Boston. Draw Plans One of his projects at A&M was to draw up plans for a low level atomic energy project building. The list of nuclear instruments to equip the laboratory was prepared by John D. Randall, assistant pro fessor in the Nuclear Department of Engineering, and Vernon S. Bishop, A&M College System radi ological safety officer. Perera attended the University of Ceylon, where he studied civil engineering. During World War II, he was lieutenant of Ceylon engi neers of the Ceylon defense force. For Discipline Later, he was put in command of the Military School of Engi neering at Ceylon Technical Col lege, where he was responsible for discipline and arranging courses and training army personnel in plumbing, lathe work, auto me chanics, carpentry, masonry, metal work, drafting and electricity. Perera praised A&M, its faculty and staff members. “Evei’yone has been most cord ial and helpful,” he said. FRESHMEN M [ . M P.

But where, really, are they going? In this busy age of appointments, rush hours, and summit meetings, we search for success, for more money, for a better future, for a variety of things. Yet, like so many mid-twentieth cen tury Americans, the harder we seek the less we find. We need a job, a purpose, a home, a family. But also, we need a church. We need to go into that church to reaffirm our faith both in God and in our fellow beings. Only then does our quest — and our ultimate destination — begin to make sense. Copyright I960, Kcistrr Aiv. Service, Sfrasbvrg, Vd. The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sotond reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children’s sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily.
