FOX NEXT SEMESTER
Psychology BS
Degree Announced
A bachelor of science degree with a major in psychology,
has been added to the Department of Education and Psycholo
gy, according to Dr. Grady Parker, head of the department.
The addition of this new degree, effective the spring
semester of 1961, will take care+
• Ivy
of a need which has been apparent
for several years, Parker said. The
demand by business and industry
for college graduates with a back
ground in psychology is becoming
more and 'more pressing, he added.
|| Graduates from this program
will be prepared to go into indus
trial or armed service positions and
take better advantage of their on-
the-job training opportunities. If
they desire to become professional
psychologists, they will find them
selves fully qualified for entrance
into graduate programs, Parker
said.
Undergrad Level
At the undergraduate level, the
new courses introduced into the
curriculum will supplement such
existing degree programs as those
in personnel administration and in
dustrial engineering.
'; The department has been author
ized to introduce three new courses,
one in the field of learning, one
in individual differences, and one
in experimental psychology. These
will be offered first in the academic
year of 1961-62.
In charge of the new degree
program will be Dr. W. A. Varvel,
professor in the Department of Ed
ucation and Psychology. The de
partment presently has two other
men who are full-time instructors
in psychology and is utilizing on a
part-time basis two psychologists
from the A&M Testing and Coun
seling Service.
Frosh Requirements
The freshman-level courses in the
new program are the same as
those now required in biological
sciences and prermedical curricula.
Requirements outside the field of
psychology include 9 hours of
mathematics, 15 hours of English,
8 hours of chemistry, 8 hours of
physics, 6 hours of biology, 9 hours
of economics and 9 hours of sociolo
gy-
There will he 30 hours of free
electives to make possible a wide
choice of minors.
The new curriculum will provided
an extensive background in the
sciences and will give the neces
sary training in psychology for the
student who wants to specialize
later in the fields of experimental
or industrial psychology or in
human-factors engineering.
Those interested in finding out
more about the degree program in
psychology should contact Varvel
in Room 102 of the Academic
building.
Ag Engineering
Cooling System
Now Installed
Installation of a new permanent
cooling system has been completed
in the gas engine laboratory of
the Department of Agricultural
Engineering.
W. H. Aldred, head of the lab
oratory, said the system replaces
the need for radiators for the
various internal combustion en
gines by providing a constant sup
ply of water from the building’s
water lines and a discharge to the
sewer.
The system consists of one and
one-half inch main intake and dis
charge lines suspended from the
ceiling. At each engine, reducing
lines and rubber hose connect the
engine to the system.
By using this system, the flow
of water entering each engine may
be regulated by valves and varia
tions in engine temperatures re
sulting may be determined, Aldred
said.
In addition to being more con
venient, the new system provides
a means of obtaining optimum
cooling of each engine, thereby
prolonging the life of each engine
and insuring more efficient opera
tion of each engine.
Construction of the system,
which was started in August, was
done entirely with student labor.
“This new system has great
possibilities and should be a real
benefit,” Aldred said.

143 Registered
Of the 284 seniors expected to
earn degrees by the end of this
semester, only 143 are registered
with the Placement Office. W. R.
Horsley, Director of the Placement
Office, points out that this serv
ice costs nothing, and that if the
student is registered, they can pro
vide much more effective service.
There are many reasons why
seniors fail to register, Horsley
related; special students, those al
ready employed, those going into
the military or those who don’t
take the time and trouble to fill
out the simple form required.
Past experience shows that in
dividual circumstances can change
almost overnight, and for this rea
son, if nothing else, it would be
wise to register with the Place
ment Office.
Seniors who plan to graduate
this spring and summer should
also be sure that the office has
their class schedules as soon as
possible.

Broussard Breaks Scoring Mark—Page 4
Their latest album, marking their
tenth anniversary with Capitol
Records, presents the Four Fresh
men as their originally performed,
providing their own backing in
“The Freshmen Year.”
This album is the growth of the
“Freshmen sound,” further en
hanced by ten years of polish,
growth, maturity and showmanship.
The vocal arrangements by Ken
Albers and Dick Reynolds, and in
strumental scores by the whole
group, make full use of their re
spective and collective talents as
vocalists and instrumentalists.
Stan Kenton, one of America’s
foremost popular and jazz music
ians’ supporters, said in a letter.
“It is always gratifying to be
right, and something over ten years
ago I brought four young men to
the attention of Capitol Records,
and predicted a bright’ future for
them.
“During the past 10 years, the
boys, calling themselves “The Four
Freshmen”, have proven that I’m
quite an oriole. They have fulfilled
that predicted “bright future” and
continue moving upward. Since
they and their talent did the work,
I’m sure they would have been
equally sucessful without my pre
diction.
“Nevertheless, I am delighted
that they have vindicated my
judgement. I thought they were
great when I first heard them,
and they have become steadily
greater. Thanks, boys; I would
rather be right than president of
the musicians’ union
Selections for the “Four Fresh
men’s program tomorrow night will
be taken from a list of 33 songs.

YANQUIS WONT FIGHT
Cubans Tired Of Waiting
By The Associated Press
HAVANA — The novelty of
watching for an enemy that never
comes seemed wearing thin among
Cubans Tuesday. There were
signs Fidel Castro may soon an
nounce the strength of his people’s
army has frightened off American
aggressors.
Cuban propaganda outlets con
tinued to assert that the United
States plans to invade this island
nation before President Eisenhow
er turns over the White House to
President-elect John F. Kennedy
on Jan. 20.
Denounce Navy Action
Castro-controlled papers used
big headlines to denounce U. S.
Navy maneuvers in the Caribbean
and a visit of the supercarrier
Franklin D. Roosevelt to the U. S.
base on Guantanamo Bay.
Revolucion charged that Amer
icans have mined the bay.
That charge was denied by a
U. S. Navy spokesman in Wash
ington. He said travel through the
base to Cuban docks at the head
of the bay must remain unre
stricted under terms of a 1903
treaty.
War Preparations
The newspaper repeatedly cited
alleged American-financed war
preparations in Guatemala, 700
miles away across the Caribbean,
as proof of Washington plans to
attack.
But activity in Cuba’s defense
preparations, which have placed
all Cuba under virtual martial
law since Dec. 31, appeared to be
dwindling.
Heavy rain and a cold north
wind contributed to this.
Cuban labor organizations—in
the forefront of the workers mi-,
litia—arranged for a massive
demonstration before the presi
dential palace Friday night.
It is logical to suppose Castro
will address the mass meeting.
Many believe he will choose that
time to announce that the poten
tial invaders have been scared off
by Cuba’s massive demonstration
of armed strength.
Castro Missing
The whereabouts of the prime
minister were undetermined. Some
sources said he had left Havana—
possibly for a closer look at the
situation around Guantanamo Bay.
The Cuban News Agency said
in a dispatch from San Juan,
Puerto Rico, that more than 100
anti-Castro Cubans have taken
refuge under the American flag
at the Guantanamo base and some
are being flown to Puerto Rico.
There were indications part of
the thousands of militiamen Cas
tro has called up since the year-
end are returning to their jobs
in the factories and on the farms.
More and more of Castro’s reg
ular army soldiers are appearing
in Havana. Some are relieving
militiamen.
