(AP Wirephoto) hemt We might as well tell you straight off: Corvair’s the car for the driving enthusiast. Think that lets you out? Maybe. Maybe not. Until you’ve driven one, you really can’t say for sure, because Corvair’s kind of driving is like no other in the land. The amazing air-cooled rear engine sees to that. You swing around curves flat as you please, in complete control. You whip through the sticky spots other cars should keep out of in the first place. (Especially this year, now that you can get Positraction as an extra-cost option.) You stop smoothly, levelly with Corvair’s beautifully balanced, bigger brakes. And Corvair’s found other new ways to please you this year. A forced-air heater and defroster are standard equipment on all coupes, sedans and both Monza and 700 Station Wagons. So are dual sunshades and front-door armrests and some other goodies. You’ll note some new styling, inside and out. Nice. And safety-belt installation is easier, too, and cheaper. Another extra-cost option well worth considering is the heavy-duty front and rear suspension; it turns a Corvair into a real tiger. So you can see we haven’t really done much to Corvair this year. Why on earth should we? If this car, just as she is, can’t make a driving enthusiast out of you, better take a cab» CHEVROLET A New World oj Worth And here’s America’s only thoroughbred sports car, the ’62 CORVETTE. We warn you: If you drive a Corvette after your first sampling of a Corvair, you may well end up a two-car man. And who could blame you?

LECTURES RECORDED ‘Life Science’ Film Series Opens Tomorrow A series of five films will be presented by the Graduate School and the Office of Agricultural In struction on “Promise of the Life Sciences.” One film will be shown each week for the next five weeks in the Biological Sciences Lecture Room. Faculty, research, extension staff, graduates, undergraduates and the public are invited. The film series is the result of the U-. S. Department of Agricul ture Graduate School 1960 lecture series. “In order that this series of pre sentations by some of the greatest biologists migjit be made available to people outside the vicinity of Washington, the USDA Graduate School secured a grant from the National Science Foundation to fi nance the preservation of the lec tures on black and white film and video-tape,” said Dr. G. M. Watkins, director of agricultural instruction. The first film, “Biological Trans formation of Energy,” by A. Szent- Gyorgyi, Woods Hole Marine Biolo gical Laboratory, will be shown to morrow and Thursday. The successive films are as follows: “Genetics”, by George Beadle, LBJ Treats Camel-Driver At Spacious Texas Ranch Bashir Ahmad, who drives a camel cart in Karachi, Pakistan, climbed into a western saddle on a beau tiful palomino named Silver at Vice President Lyndon Johnson’s ranch Monday. “This is just like sitting on a davenport,” said Bashir. ‘You don’t feel the horse at all. You just feel leather,” Bashir, 48, sat erect. His ankles dangled a foot above the stirrups. His interpreter, Sahib Khan of Pakistan, explained that Bashir had ridden horses before but al ways without a saddle or bridle. “He is a first class horse,” Ba shir said. A broad grin showed un der his wide, black mustache. Johnson, who helped boost Ba shir into the saddle, asked if he would like to trade his camel for a horse. “That is a fair trade,” Bashir replied and grinned again. Johnson then mounted another horse and the two rode briefly along the Pedernales River look ing at irrigated pastures and pure bred bulls on the vice president’s LBJ Ranch, 65 miles west of Aus tin. Occasionally Bashir’s mount broke into a slow trot. The camel cart didver would hang on to the saddle horn and grin widely. Johnson met Bashir during a vis it to Karachi last spring. The vice president singled him out of a crowd to shake hands and casually invited Bashir to visit the United States. Some American business men made the trip possible. . Johnson and Bashir arrived by plane Sunday night from New York for a two-day Texas visit. Monday morning Johnson gave his guest an alarm wrist watch and then huxried him to a televi sion set carrying pictures of the camel driver’s arrival in New York. “How can it be here when we were there” Bashir asked. After the horseback ride, John son drove Bashir to Johnson City to visit the headquarters of the Perdenales Electric Co-operative. En route the vice president pointed out a modest house on the edge of the ranch where he was born. They made an unscheduled stop at the Johnson City High School where Johnson received his diploma. Bashir and Johnson visited the lunchroom and a seventh grade mathematics class. As they left the school building, students crowded windows for a glimpse of the visitors. Secret Ser vice men waved for the students to come outside. The students swarmed around Johnson and Bashir. The camel driver told them: “I have a little advice for you. When I was young, I did not have an opportunity to go to school. You have the opportunity. Please make the most of it so you can make this a better world.” As the two men headed for their car, Bashir gave the children an invitation similar to the one John son extended him in Karachi: ‘If you ever come to Pakistan, please look me up.” We all make mistakes...

McLellan is profes sor of oceanography and Groot is the assistant to the administrative scientist. Groot first came to the United States in 1952 and worked in the Dutch Embassy in Washington. In 1953 he was transferred to Bryan Air Force Base as administrative assistant to the commanding of- ficer of the Royal Netherlands Air Force. He worked at the air base until 1956, when he was employed by Dr. Dale Leipper, head of the Department of Oceanography and Meteorology. McLellan was born in Nova Scotia and prior to coming to A&M worked with the Fisheries Re search Board of Canada. He joined the oceanography staff in 1957.

Christian Science calms fear and gives to the student the full assurance he needs in order to learn easily and to evaluate what he has learned. It teaches that God is man’s Mind—his only Mind—from which ema nates all the intelligence he needs, when and as he needs it.
