^ SURPRISES DAILY Academic Bulletin Board Boosts Assorted Barg ams \ 1 By TOMMY HOLBEIN • Bulletin board bargains prevail in the Academic Building, and a vast assortment of these sensa tional values can be seen jlaily on the building’s first floor southwest walls. $ These offers and desired items vary from day to day, but for good news concerning them, and some very entertaining reading, the in terested student can find a wealth of values on the two bulletin boards. i;i For example, concerning a good 'car value, the following message can be seen: . For Sale: 1952 Desoto—in a few years, this car will be a priceless antique! Good motor, good uphol stery, paint job of baby blue and BUST; tires have beautiful per fectly smooth surface! “Need Money!” *' Generally, it can be said that most Aggies are hard up for money, due to one, two or multiple reasons. Under Miscellaneous items, one student loudly pro claimed this need: “WANTED MONEY! Make III Third Animal Secretaries Seminar Set I2lb ■ Mrs. Margaret Coleman, chair- ■|pian of the program committee for the Third Annual Seminar for Sec retaries sponsored by the Bryan- College Station Chapter of the Na tional Secretaries Assn. (Interna tional), has announced that the seminar will be held Feb. 18, 1961 at the Memorial Student Center with registration beginning at 8:30 a.m. I The theme “Adventure in Vari ables” indicates a most interesting one-day meeting. The agenda for the day includes a business ma chine show presented by office equipment distributors for this area, and talks by Mr. L. M. Col lins, Manager, Educational Serv ices, IBM, New York and member of the CPS Institute; Mrs. Louise Glenn,, Administrative Assistant to Chief of Party, Dacca, East Pak istan; Dean Frank Hubei’t of the School of Arts and Sciences, and Miss Gertrude Gibson, Special As sistant, Texas Woman’s Univer sity, Denton. ‘i A highlight of the luncheon will be a talk by Judge Robert W. Mur phy, former District Attorney, * Second Judicial District of Texas, Nacogdoches. offer, any amount, 20% interest.” Another tempting bargain for anyone who is a movie enthusiast, is one selling an Argus 300-Watt 35 mm projector for $10. A definite reason for needing money was seen in the ad selling a tape recorder and typewriter: “FOR SALE: 7% speed Crescent tape recorder, $35; Smith Corona Typewriter, $25—I’m getting mar ried and need money by Thursday, Jan. 12!” And someone on the campus must have some mammoth slide rules available — perhaps display models — for students wishing to avoid the problem of reading the tiny scales on a normal rule. Here is the ad he placed: “FOR SALE: New Post slide rules, for second hand price: both REGULAR and PORTABLE mod els available.” Rides . . . When? The “Rides” bulletin board has provided an invaluable service to Aggies for many years, and almost any day will find rides needed or riders wanted to almost anywhere in the U. S., from California to New York. However, in order for a ride offer to be successful, it generally requires one vital piece of informa tion: time of departure. This is a ride offer up on the board at present: “Need riders to San Antonio at noon!” Unfortunately, the driver neglected to say which day he was leaving. Besides rides, a person can rent almost any type of gun from a certain individual here at A&M, who has two cards up with his rental charges and lists of avail able products: The ad reads: “Rifles Rented For Deer Hunting! $2.50 a day, —(and added to the rate, apparently by someone else, is, “plus $200 fine”), almost any type of rifle available. Other values on the card include an automatic pistol, on sale for only $40; ammunition, $2.50 a box, and four boxes, also on sale for $2.50 a box. Clips, $1. From reading past answers to offers, this answer can be expected any day: “Will rent anything you have— Fidel Castro, Havana, Cuba.” Turning from present offers to ones in the past, two cards come to mind that were side by side on the board at the start of the semester, and have since been taken down. The first one read, “LOST: one Parker, 51, red and silver fountain pen.” Right next to it was the second card, reading: “FOR SALE: one Parker 51 red and silver foun tain pen!” Also, various professors on campus have been offered for sale after quizzes; these cards are usually in great abundance during the first week of the second semester, after final exams and failing grades have been returned. So if you want anything, or have anything to get rid of, advertise it on the bulletin board in the Academic Building; it’ll bring re sults, one way or another. It might even wind up in the paper. Civil Service Procedures Announced Appointments to the cooperative program in the Federal service are made through competitive examina tions as announced by the U. S. Civil Service Commission, Associ ate Dean of Engineering C. W. Crawford said today. “I have received a letter from John S. Hinkle, Career Manage ment and Training Officer of the U. S. Army Ordnance Missile Com mand of Redstone, Ala.,” Crawford says. “I had inquired a month or so ago of Eugene W. Lovelace of Dallas, about the possibility of some of our students going on to the cooperative program with the Federal government.” Interested students should make application (on CSC Form 5,000 AB) for the written test through the U. S. Civil Service Commission regional office having jurisdiction over the state where the applicant desires to be tested, Crawford points out. Texas is under the jurisdiction of the Eighth U. S. Civil Service Regional Office, 114 Commerce St., Dallas. Examinations are con ducted normally once each month at cities throughout the United States. After Examination After the student completes the examination and receives an offi cial notice of rating, he may apply for appointment consideration at any Federal activity. Those inter ested in appointment at the Army Ballistic Missile Agency, Array Rocket and Guided Missile Agency and Redstone Arsenal, all at Redr stone Arsenal, Ala., should send a completed application (SF 57) and the notice of rating to, the Board of U, S. Civil Service Examiners, George C. Marshall, Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Ala.

Applica tions should be sent to him at A&M. “Purpose of the Workshop is to give publications Sponsors a refresher course and to break in members of their staffs for 1961- 62 so that the next school year’s publications can get off to a fly ing start,” Burchard said. Brig. Gen. Norman L. Callish, Class of ’30 and commander of Mather Air Force Base and the 3535th Navigator Training Wing, has announced that he will retire from the Air Force this year. His post-retirement plans are indef inite. Taking command of Mather in August 1959, Callish became head of the only U. S. Air Force school teaching advanced radar-naviga tion and bombardment, a school which is the sole source of supply of navigator aircrew members for the Strategic and Tactical Air Commands and other operational units. As Mather commander he is in charge of the installation itself, which is “host” base to the tenant 4134 Strategic Wing, a B-52 com bat-ready organization which also incorporates a squadron of KC-135 jet aerial refueling tankers. Long Training His assignment at Mather as i head of the 3535th Navigator Training Wing is the culmination of a number of years of operating | navigator schools. H« commanded the navigation training canter at Ellington Air Fore# Base, Texas, for a year before taking over the “graduate” school of navigation at Mather. In late World War II the general was group commander with the 313th Bombardment Wing at Tin ian and at Clark Field in the Phil ippines. Earlier in the war he had been assistant chief of staff for operations in the Western Flying Training Command, and then he took over as chief of the pilot sec tion, operations division of the Air Training Command. Soon after the war he became director of operations for the 1st Air Division, based on Okinawa. Later he was assigned to U. S. Air Force headquarters in the Pentagon as chief of the Air Force enlisted assignments division. Two-School Grad Callish is a graduate of two of the highest level military schools for staff officers and commanders: the Armed Forces Staff College and the National War College. A command pilot with over 5.400 flying hours in his log, the general received his early flight training at Randolph and Kelly Fields in Texas, and was commissioned a second lieutenant at Hamilton Field, Calif., in 1935. Born in San Jose, Calif, in 1906, he attended A&M and the Univer sity of California at Los Angeles before entering the military serv ice. He is married to the former Elena Hannigan, daughter of an army colonel. The Callishes* daughters are Betty Elena and Patty. The general and his family live at 106 Emmons Circle, Mather Air Force Base.
