leed to brush humility aside and
Jo more legitimate bragging about
low their programs mold leaders
Hit of boys and benefit the com-
iiuhity.
The advice came Wednesday
fom a group of newspaper, maga-
line, radio and television newsmen
tfbo spoke to teachers attending
• Workshop in Communications at
tbeir areas as district public re
gions chairmen.
Johnny Watkins, farm director
KWTX-TV in Waco and KBTX-
IV in Bryan, urged the teachers
bi “cackle more about your activi
ties,"
“YOU KNOW WHY you eat
thicken eggs instead of duck
( ggs?” he asked the group. “It’s
because the chicken cackles and
•‘ts you know about it. The duck
W walks away without a sound,
•oo many of you are like ducks.”
What to cackle?
Watkins, who has been conduct
ing a 45-minute program for eight
Jears on two TV channels, said
human interest is always a favor-
he. But it should be “sugar-coated”
>nd entertaining.
To get a story on television, he
Nvised, select a boy or a farmer in
Jour area who is doing something
feally unique. The subject should
*pply to a large area, not just one
locality.
“But I’ll bet not a one of you
lake my advice—because it’s work,”
Catkins said.
GEORGE ROESNER, radio farm
director of Houston’s KPRC, rec
ommended that the teachers get to
. Ww radio and TV farm reporters
[ m their area. Find out the kind of
material they want and don’t want.
Watkins and Roesner agreed that
many good stories lie in an intan
gible realm. The information can
•how how vocational agriculture
builds leadership, not only in agri-
'ulture, but in other phases of life.
I Such stories, they said, demonstrate
' W and why vocational agriculture
lu high schools is indespensible to
8 community.
Bud Fichte of Dallas, repvesen-
listed recommendations for getting
stories into monthly publications.
He said the teachers should un
derstand readers and what they
want; it is the teacher’s responsi
bility to let the magazine know
about a story; the teacher should
establish himself as a reliable news
source; human interest and success
stories are sure-fire attention-get
ters; stories should be adaptable to
a wide area; the article should be
timed for the appropriate farm
season.
A NEWS WRITER for the A&M
Information Office, Doyle Gougler,
said one of the best ways to get
stories into a metropolitan paper is
to work through the local corres
pondent for that paper.

business affairs. The firm’s present contract expires Aug.
31 and the new contract provides for the increased service.
The new contract calls for the installation in dormitories
and other major buildings on campus of a total of 99 new

on other campuses and in in
dustrial plants.”
Depending on requirements there
will be varying numbers of soft

will be spotted in the lounges of
Dormitories 14 and 15.

university campuses in the South
west as part of an A&M study,
CheiTy said.

DEAN FRED J. BENSON

Dean Benson
Returns Today
From Arctic
Dr. Fred J. Benson, dean of
engineering and director of the
Texas Engineering Experiment
Station, returns Thursday from a
12-day, 13,000 mile Air Force in
spection tour on top of the world.
Dubbed Operation Cool School
by the Air Force, the ti’ip gives
educators a chance to leave their
roles as teachers and assume roles
of students in the polar environ
ment. The program is an out
growth of a routine inspection tour
made annually by the Director of
Air Force Civil Engineering.
BENSON AND four other prom
inent educators made the polar
circuit at the invitation of Maj.
Gen. Cecil E. Combs, commandant
of the Air Force Institute of Tech
nology, and Brig. Gen; Robert H.
Curtin, newly-appointed director of
Air Force Civil Engineexang.
The men departed Andrews AFB,
Md., Aug. 4.
Cool School gave Dean Benson
a chance to study engineering,
maintenance and construction ac
tivities at such air base's as Thule
and Sondrestr'om in Gi’eenland and
Elmendorf and Eielson in Alaska.
Benson and the others saw the
Ballistic Missile Eaxiy Warning
System (BMEWS), the Distant
Early Warning System (DEW
Line), and the Dye Stations on
the Gi'eenland ice cap.
The men also visited Goose Bay
Air Base, Laboxador, the Alaskan
bases of Point Bax-row, King Sal
mon, Spari-evohn and Shemya, and
concluded the trip with a tour of
the operational missile facilities at
Malmstrom AFB, Mont.
THIS WAS the sixth such Cool
School program. So far 29 edu
cators from different schools
across the counti-y have viewed
scientific, engineering and mili-
taxy activities in the Arctic.

Both out-of-town trips are

men will not miss classes. The
LSU train will leave Houston Sept.
in the same yeai\ In 1960 the
band accompanied the team to the
LSU contest and the following year
