The workshop will be under the direction of the Literacy Coun cil director of training, Mrs. Mur ray A. Brown. Anyone who feels that he might become a part of this program, either now or in tbe future has been encouraged to attend. There is no prex*equisite for becoming a teacher other than being literate in English. The cost is that of time and personal interest. Technical and non-technical stu dents nearing completion of under graduate studies are being offered jobs at salaries averaging $30 a month more than a year ago. A survey of 91 selected colleges, in cluding A&M, showed offers to technical students rose to $592 monthly, while non-technical of fers increased to $493. New Nighttime English Class Set For Spring A section of English 103 desigxx- ed for students with sophomore or higher academic classification who desire intensive work in certain aspects of writing will be offered each Monday nght during the spr ing semestex-. Students lacking the necessary sophomore standing may be ad mitted with the consent of the head of the Department of English, Dr. J. Q. Andex-son. This is a regular section of Eng lish 103, cax-rying three semester houx-s of credit. Emphasis will • be placed, however, on individual work by students wanting to at tain greater proficiency in such specific areas as spelling, gram matical construction, grammatical form, punctuation, clearness of meaning and naturalness of ex pression. Additional information may be obtained from Dr. Anderson or from Associate Professor K. E. Elmquist. This is a key finding of the lat est national survey, according to W. R. Horsley, director of the placement office. He serves' as chairman of the Salary Survey Committee of the College Place ment Council, national headquar ters of the eight regional place ment associations of the United States and Canada. The study is being made for the fourth year and the x-eport covers offers from the stax-t of the fall x-ecruiting season to Dec. 14.

The biggest average boost on the master’s list was to electrical engineers. Their offers jumped by $25 to $736 monthly. Follow ing were business administration students with technical undergrad uate degrees, up $19 to $675, and physicists, up $18 to $693. THE TOP demand for students completing their bachelor’s de gree was reported in these fields: electrical engineering, first, fol lowed by mechanical engineering, accounting, chemical engineering and general business. Aeroixautical engineering led in dollar value with paychecks aver aging $36 a month more than a year ago. Indications were that offers were fewer simply because demand so far exceeded supply. Paychecks averaging $599 were offered by ah'craft and aerospace manufacturers. Horsley said the study showed seniors in several other engineer ing curricula are faring almost as well in beginning salary offers. Industrial engineers are up $35 a month, and electrical engineers up $33 a month. In the non-technical cundcula, liberal arts led in dollar value with $511, followed by accounting with $504 and general business with $487. Accounting continued on top in number of offers.
