He is Leo E. Hatcher of Houston, president of the Texas Association of Polygraph Ex aminers. Actually, Hatcher is one of 15 persons from fields of law, medi cine and psychology directing the Southwest’s first school for poly graph examiners. THE UNUSUAL school, one of five in the United States and the first held by a college, is designed to qualify persons to use the instrument in law enforcement, industrial security or personnel in terview work. Enrolled are 10 students, nine from Texas cities and one from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. THE STUDENTS will spend a total of 216 hours in the class room, plus hours of night-time study, research, reading and note book preparation. Upon completion of the school, the graduate is awarded a “cer tificate of training.” After the individual returns to his job and successfully completes 150 poly graph examinations, he will then be considered for a “graduate certificate.” A&M’s folklore class will pre sent its fii’st annual “hootenanny” Sunday in the Memorial Student Center. Led by Dr. John Q. Anderson, head of the Department of English, students are rounding up folk singers from the campus and the area to participate in the 3 p.m. program. Anderson said a “hootenanny” is an informal singing session which features a variety of per formers and audience participa tion. With a dozen singers and musicians alreauy on the roster, the show will have music ranging from ballads to flamenco guitar. The public is invited to the session Anderson said.

Of the 23 poems submitted by nine students, all three by Lowrey were “placed.” No other contestant had all his poems ranked by at least one of the judges.

V • The “MD” his name is correct. Dr. Harrison is both a medical doctor and a DVM, but he hasn’t been a . practicing veteri-. narian for about 38 years. To him, the four years of veterinary 1 study at A&M from 1916-20 were ! mainly a strong biological founda-1 tion for his later medical studies, i The physician was the first stu dent to sign up in the new veteri nary school, was first president of thq, .A&M Veterinary Medicine Club, was the first of the four students to march across the stage to receive his degree, and was the first Texas-educated DVM to get a state license. THE 65-YEAR-OLD general practitioner returned his age-yel lowed DVM degree to the School of Veterinary Medicine because of the document’s historical interest. He was one of the first four veterinarians graduated from the newly established school in 1920. Harrison presented the degree to Dr. Alvin Price, dean of the School of Veterinary Medicine, who said it would be placed in the Veterinary Library along with other mementoes of the past. WHEN UNDERGRADUATE Harrison wasn’t mulling over books and bones, the 135-pounder quar terbacked and halfbacked four years on Coach D. X. Bible’s foot ball teams. This was the era when A&M produced its famed unde feated and unscored-on teams of 1917 and 1919. The student also was business manager for The Battalion for a year. Her was first to be named “Outstanding Military Student,” and led the best drilled company in the corps for which he won the Howell Flag, 1919-20. He retired from the U. S. Medical Corps in 1945 as a full colonel. WAN One day 2d per woi Minin 80* i ei PH( 1957 4-door ( ftdio, heater, | condition. VI 6 Mobile home J tir conditioned.

AH depends on why he uses it. Most men simply think Menthol-Iced Skin Bracer is the best after=shave lotion around. Because it cools rather than burns. Because it helps heal shaving nicks and scrapes. Because it helps prevent blemishes. So who can blame them if Bracer’s crisp, long-lasting aroma fust happens to affect women so remarkably? Of course, some men may use Mennen Skin Bracer because of this effect. . ^ How intelligent! l£2J E WITH LOU - MOST AGGIES DO! Graduate mu Soosevelt, TA 5 Complete U.
