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.

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.

Walk a Mile a Day
And Live To Be 100
By The Associated Press
Mrs. Mattie Vickery takes a lit
tle stroll of a mile and return al
most daily. The exceptional thing
about her walks is that she is more
than 100 years old.
The mother of College Station
baker Dee Weatherly says:
“It doesn’t tire me “I walk all
the time. That’s why I’ve grown so
old and am still healthy.”
Mrs. Vickery has never been in
side a hospital and has never taken
medicine, she says.
Full-Time Job
She is frail and bent with years,
but still very active.
On top of that, she has a full
time job of keeping house for her
self and her youngest son. She also
tends to a few chickens around
the place.
The centenarian and her son,
Rufus (Fuzzy) Vickery, live in
a small house north of this city.
Her mother, Mrs. Julie Roverts,

A familiar sight . . , men with briefcases
daily throng airports all over the nation, winging
their way from one place to another. 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.
