Blaschke added, “ Not only will the steak fry offer the opportuni ty for both the senior class and the football team to become acquaint ed personally, but it should be a good kick-off for what we hope will be a successful season. We hope the kick-off will become a tradition in following years.” Fruit, Vegetable Specialist Takes New Post Here Gordon R.

Competiifcions for the 1963-64 academic year opened May 1. ment Office. Visits to A&M already have been scheduled by 172 employers, as compared with 151 firms who sent representatives the past college year. Horsley also reported all avail able graduates of the Class of 1962 have found employment. “The demand for college-trained; people continues strong,” Horsley wrote in his summary, “especially in such areas as electronics, com puter science, accounting, and phy sics. This year also has seen a return of demand for petroleum en gineers and geologists.” He also noted “a steadily in creasing call” for people who have studied at levels beyond the bache lor’s degree. Some firms send representatives during the fall, starting about Oct. 15, while others visit in the spring. Many concerns are represented at both seasons. Three hundred and thirty-eight visits to the campus have been scheduled for the new year. Experience shows some firms in terview only a handful of young men, many firms interview dozens of students with varied academic training, and a few major firms talk with as many as 240 prospec tive employes. On-campus personal interviews during 1961-62 totaled 5,410. New Statistics Course Opens The first two courses to be of fered by the newly-established Graduate Institute of Statistics have been announced.

It will have a close working relation ship with the A&M Data Process- j ing Center, where Freund’s office is located. Stars On Tap For October Prison Rodeo SPECIAL TO THE BATTALION HUNTSVILLE — A star-stud ded cast of the nation’s entertain ment and sports personalities will make personal appearances at the 31st Annual Texas Prison Rodeo here in the prison’s $1 million sta dium each Sunday in October. On Oct. 7, the star attraction will be Rex Allen and his famous horse, Koko. The celebrities to be featured Oct. 14 include Anita Bryant, recording artist who rose to fame with Bob Hope; and Ann Marston, a nationally-famous arch er. For the Oct. 21 show, the stai will be Willie Mays, stellar base ball mainstay of the National Lea gue’s San Francisco Gaints. For the final showing of the rodeo Oct. 28, Dan Blocker, who portrays the role of “Hoss” Cart wright in the weekly Bonanza tele vision series, will be here to round out a two-hour show, beginning at 2 p.m. Aside from the stars, there will be inmate riders contesting pri son-produced rodeo stock in a num ber of events.

Remodeling Of North Gate Area Approaches Final Completion Stage Work is fast nearing completion on beautifying and improving the raffic flow in the North Gate ai - ea by converting Houston Street nto a major entrance-exit for the ollege. W. Howard Badgett, manager of the physical plant here, said ' he use of Houston as the major thoroughfare would inprove ad ditional parking space near the post ofice and eliminate hazards involved in parking on a main street. Previously, Houston and Bell Streets were used as double en trance-exit points from the north. Recent construction has closed Bell at the intersection of Farm Road 30, with that section of street con verted into parking space. The parking area will accommodate 27 cars and will be laid out for one way traffic in the interest of safety, Badgett said. Landscaping Due Landscaping the new North Gate thoroughfare will begin in the fall. Plans call for a college marker there similar to the one on Highway 6 near the East Gate, Badgett noted. The beautification and traffic circulation improvement program is part of a 10-^ear-old plan of the physical plant. The appear ance of the North Gate entrance has become increasingly important due to the number of visitors ar- idving at Easterwood Airport. They receive their first view of A&M at the North Gate, Badgett pointed out. “The overall plan is to elimin ate traffic turning into a moving lane of vehicles,” he said. Badgett added the college hoped that in cooperation with the City of College Station a traffic signal synchronized with the existing one at FM 60 and Main could be in stalled at the New Houston inter section with FM 60. Board Backing Plans Plans for improving the appear ance of this section of the campus have the enthusiastic backing of the A&M Board of Directors. Projects under study by the Texas Highway Department and the city to develop an underpass to carry FM 60 traffic under the railroad tracks west of the new thoroughfare would add to the program, Badgett said. Intensive development of Hous ton Street is underway now that the underpass development seems certain, he said. CRACK SHOT AT 77 CHEYENNE, Wyo. (TP) — Adam Helzer of Sheridan broke 100 straight targets to tie for the championship in the Wyoming state trapshoot.

And when you tried to guess where the pot of gold was at the end of the rainbow? Life is full of sweet mysteries for the young, Do you remember? In fact, life reveals even more sweet mysteries as we grow older. When we think of these things, the mysteries of life, of God’s care of us, of the wonders of the uni verse—you know, that’s a way of praying 1 Yes, just thinking about God. Fortunately, too, we have the Church—your church •—a place to contemplate such things, to pray, to ask questions, and give thanks to Almighty God. Go to the church of your choice this Sunday. There you will find some of the answers ... to some of these wondrous mysteries.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . . ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of char acter and good citizenship. It is storehouse of spiritual values. With out a strong Church, neither de mocracy nor civilization can sur vive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children’s sake. (3) For the sake of his com munity and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material sup port.
