• 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

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.

plications for a scholarship now,
according to Burchard. 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.

Dr. C. D. Holland, professor
of chemical engineering, and Wil
liam N. Lyster of Baytown, have
received the annual award of the
South Texas Section of the Amer
ican Institute of Chemical Engi
neering for the best applied pa
per, it has been announced by the
Texas Engineering Experiment
Station.
The two were co-authors of a
paper titled “Figure Distillation
This New Year” which appeared
in the Petroleum Refiner, a na
tional publication.
Three previous articles were
published in the magazine under
this title and four others are
planned for the future, according
to the Station. Each takes up a
particular phase of distillation op
erations.
