THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas Thursday, May 9, 1963
Post-Grad Service
Offered Overseas
Lars Hals-Hagen, career coun
selor of the American Institute for
Foreign Trade, will be on campus
Wednesday to speak on opportuni
ties at the foreign trade school and
interview students who may be
interested in assignments overseas.
The American Institute for For
eign Trade is a postgraduate
school v/hich prepares students for
international commerce and related
activities.
Twenty-nine A&M students and
former students have taken the
course at the institute.
THE COURSES of study pre
pare the students for international
commerce and associated activities
by providing trained personnel to
serve business and government
throughout the world, along with
helping toward international un
derstanding.
Over 1,400 graduates have been
placed in posts aboard, and a
larger number are in the services
of American corporations in the
United States having large foreign
interests or affiliates.
The curriculum emphasizes three
major fields, language, area studies
and international commerce. The
course is rigorous with three to
five hours a day on language work,
and the balance of a very full
schedule divided between the area
studies and the technical side of
foreign trade.
Over the years, from 75 to 90
per cent of the students have ob
tained positions before gradu
ation. The scale of salaries
received, together with special
allowances in foreign service, is
considerably above the average re
ceived by students with one year
of graduate training, taking posi
tions outside of the United States.
AS EXAMPLES of the kinds of
posts Ag'gies have had and places
they are now located include:
Marvin Priske, ’51, is with Toal-
heiro Brazil, S.A., in Sao Paulo,
Brazil; Bernard F. Terrenes, ’53,
is with Shellmar, Inc., in San Juan,
Puerto Rico;
Edward Fernandez, ’59, is with
Associated Imports Corp., as resi
dent manager in Tokyo; Thomas
Gale, ’59, is with Canadian
Academy, in Kobe, Japan; William
Bennett, ’61, is with the Depart
ment of Commerce in Rhodesia;
John C. Shultz, ’61, is with Cerre
de Pasco, in Peru; and Edward
Charles Saenq, ’63, is with U. S.
Steel Imports.
Those students wlm are inter
ested in going into the field of
foreign commerce, have been urged
to make an appointment for an
interview with Hals-Hagen while
he is on campus.

Don’t You Dare Touch My Baby
Patty, a ring-tailed monkey who resides in a zoo in St.
Petersburg, Florida, is pretty particular about her “young
ster” who happens to be a white mouse by nature. Just
how the two got together, nobody knows, but the mouse
apparently enjoys the attention which his adopted mother
gives him. She pets him, checks him regularly for fleas
and keeps him in her shelter at night. Perhaps she is just
lonesome. At any rate the two attract a lot of attention at
the zoo. (AP Wirephoto)
Ragsdale Give Journalists
$2,550 For Department Use

Mrs. Silas Ragsdale of Houston.

tor of Hydrocarbon Processing and
Petroleum Refiner Magazine.
A major portion of the fund,
$1875, is currently available from
the sale of stock shares and the
remainder will be received when
other shares are sold, according to
Delbert McGuire, head of the de
partment.
The Ragsdales have requested
that $2,000 of the bequest be added
der of the fund will be used to
benefit the department at a later
date.
“This grant will be of great
value,” McGuire said in announc
ing its receipt. “The loan fund
will be used over and over to help
students remain in school through
periods of financial difficulty, and
the remainder of the gift will serve
to enlarge our holding of reference
books or for other worthy proj
ects.”
Special to The Battalion
WASHINGTON—The U. S. Civil
Service Commission has - blocked
attempts to turn summer govern
ment jobs for students into politi
cal patronage.
In a searing statement, the CSC
said political clearance for part-
time government jobs is “illegal
and will not be tolerated.”
The commission announced that
competitive examinations would be
held for the jobs, starting next
year. The CSC notified heads of
all federal departments and agen
cies against hiring student workers
this summer because of political
pressures.
The action came after the com
mission learned of a story in the

AND YET...
Early this year we put a 164-hp V-8 in a ,
new kind of Falcon called the Sprint, and
entered the stiffest winter road test we could
find . . . the 2,500-mile Monte Carlo Rallye. We
didn't know what would happen ... but happen it did.

tion, regardless of class, the lead Sprint
went on to take first in the final six
performance legs.
We honestly didn't know the Falcon Sprint
would do this well. But it showed us a
Falcon with our new 164-hp V-8 is a car
that can perform with the best of them. So a
lot has happened to Falcon, and yet. ..
First, no one dreamed all the Rallye cars would have to
experience the worst winter in decades. Snow, below
zero temperatures, and the most demanding terrain in
Europe took their toll. Two thirds of
the 296 cars that started, failed to
reach Monaco.
AMERICA’S LIVELIEST,
MOST CARE-FREE CARS
A six-cylinder Falcon has just finished the
Mobil Economy Run and finished first in its class.
It had to take a lot of punishment, too . . . 2,500 miles
from Los Angeles to Detroit over mountains, deserts,
and long stretches of superhighways. But the nickel
nursing ways of the all-time Economy
Champ took all comers in its class.
A lot of experts told us that the
Falcon V-8’s, untried as they were,
could not hope to finish the Rallye
with the best of weather. But not only
did two Falcon Sprints finish, they
placed first and second in their class.
But there were more surprises (for

So you see something has happened
