cloves Location
students normally receiving:
il lat the main College Station
it Office at North Gate will
/e| to stroll two blocks farther
get their letters, this year,
^^^■usons for the temporary re
ason of the postal department
an extensive $200,000 remodel-
» Inside and outside the main
ice according to postmaster
nept Gregg, who said his staff
oects to move back into the
ilding in April or May of 1962.
Vfaanwhile, the mail continues
co le and go from a temporary
it office on Church St.—two
cks north of the familiar North
te location.
The Church St. post office is
atxl between the A&M I’resby-
ian Church and the Church of
ri*t Hible Chair building. The
iieRt way to reach the mail
ces is to cross Sulphur Springs
1 < Farm Road 60) at the old
it office, go two blocks on Main
Church St. and turn left.
3r< gg said the remodeling would
•e the post office, more area to
ndle the huge volume of out
ing mail received every month,
so, a new section of 135 post
ic<‘ boxes will be added to take
*e of the growing m^ber of
ident post office box users.
Bo h the boxes and the out
ing mail section will be located
fffl new wing being constructed
the south side of the existing
it office building.
Window service, such ns selling
imps and mailing and picking up
ckages, and the processing of
•oming mail will be done in the
Isting section of the old post
fice.
The new out-going mail section
is made necessary because of
e large volume of mail sent from
lit ge Station by the Agricultural
^tension Service and other de-
Bments of the college.
The 2,620 rental boxes in the
remodeled post office will all be
new, Gregg said. He said he
wasn’t sure whether they w'ould
be key or combination type.
Parking at the post office, which
has always been a problem, will be
helped with the addition of parking
spaces in back of the building. A
three-foot walk from parking
places on Sulphur Springs Rd. to
the front door has also been
planned.
Builders specifications call for
the new wing to match as nearly
as possible the appearance of the
old building. The present front
door will remain, and a new front
door will open into the rental box
section of the new wing.
G. H. Jones Construction Co. of
Dallas submitted the low bid—
$272,323—for the project. They
have until July 10 to finish the
work, but have said they would be
through by April or May.
Street Paving
Shows Progress
City Manager Ran Boswell said
last week that paving of portions
of 10 College Station streets is
progressing in good order.
The asphalt paving on the
streets will be seven inches deep—
six inches of base and one inch
of finished asphalt. In some in
stances, storm water inlets and
drains, curbs and gutters will be
built.
The streets to be paved include
Foster and Moss avenues and Wil
liams St. in the College Hills sec
tion; one block of Thomas St. in
South Side, and one block of
Church St. in North Gate, all with
curbs and gutters.

$178,485 Given
College In Grants
Three grants totaling $178,485
were awarded different depart
ments of the college during the
summer by the National Science
Foundation.
A grant of $100,000 was
awarded for use in constructing
doctoral and post doctoral level
laboratories in the new Plant
Sciences building east of the Bi
ology Building.
Another $50,785 was received
to support research studies of
ocean currents off the southern
tip of South America.
And $27,700 was awarded for use
in a research project entitled, “The
Formation of Bubbles and Inter
facial Area in Heterogeneous Sys
tems.”
The laboratories in the new $2.3
million Plant Sciences Building
will be used for basic research,
according to Dr. Wayne C. Hall,
Dean of the graduate school.
Four departments in the botani
cal sciences category will receive
portions of the $100,000 grant.
They are botany, horticulture,
plant physiology and pathology
and range and forestry.
The $50,785 grant will be used
to support a project entitled, “Sur
face and Deep Current Measure
ment in the Drake Passage.” The
project is under the direction of
Dale F. Leipper, head of the De
partment of Oceanography and
Meteorology, and Luis Capurro, a
research scientist in the depart
ment.
The study of the Drake Passage,
directly south of South America’s
famed Cape Horn, will extend for
a two-year period and should pro
vide valuable data for oceanog
raphers, Leipper has said.
The third project, “The Forma
tion of Bubbles and Interfacial
Area in Heterogeneous Systems,”
will be under the direction of
Charles D. Holland of the Depart
ment of Chemical Engineering and
the Texas Engineering Experiment
Station.
“The proposed research,” accord
ing to Holland, “is concerned with
the determination of the influence
of the physical properties and
operating conditions on the forma
tion of interfacial area in various
types of contractors.”

Master Of Arts Degree In History Approved
A graduate program of study
leading to a Master of Arts degree
in history has been approved and
will be offered for the first time
this semester.
Four different fields of study
are included in the new program,
according to Dr. J. M. Nance, Head
of the Department of History and
Government.
Each candidate for the M. A.
degree will take 18 semester hours
concentrated in one of these fields
—American history, European his
tory, Texas history or industrial
or business history, Nance said.
The American history program
is divided into seven categories—
colonial, early national, Old South,
the West, the Civil War, and
Reconstruction and recent.
A minor representing 12 semes
ter hours of credit must be selected
from some related field other than
history, Nance added.
The minor, which may on rare
occasion be split between two
fields, may be in economics, Eng
lish, education, industrial educa
tion, agricultural education, math
ematics, science, business adminis
tration, or agricultural economics
and sociology.
Each student will also be ex
pected to have a minimum of 12
semester hours of undergraduate
college credit or the equivalent in
one foreign language, or pass a
reading examination given by the
Department of Modern Languages.
Summer’s Tale
Summer is over. The tide of Angies that rolled away
from the campus last June is beginning: to flow back with
the wave of returning students is a strong, new wave of
freshmen.
The freshmen have been thinking—looking forward to
their A&M experience for a year or more. Most of the older
students however, began thinking about their return to
studies only a week or so ago. For them, thoughts of the
campus at College Station have been long stored far back
in their minds.
For some, College Station was in mind and quite near
research projects, summer school, short courses. A&M did
not close its doors of learning when the students left. A
great university seldom sleeps. This section of the Back-To-
School Edition of the Battalion gives you a look at jour
campus during the summer.

Wc hope that in the coming months of your college career yon will visit our store
often and give us the opportunity to make this period of your life more enjoyable with our
friendly efficient service.
