Depart ment lines have been severed so that graduate teaching and re search in the area of stress analysis and stress mechanics might utilize the total staff of the College of Engineering. As a team the departments of Mechanical Engineering, Civil En gineering and Aerospace Engineer ing are interested in welding re-- search. Dr. J. George H. Thompson, professor of mechanical engineer ing, is presently engaged in seek ing more speedy ways to conduct problems of structural analysis of odd shaped bodies. Roy M. Wingren, professor of mechanical engineering, is inter ested in experimental stress analy sis. His specialty in research is photoelasticity. At present his graduate teaching includes theory of elasticity, vibrations, and dy namics. Dr. Charles H. Samson Jr., pro fessor of structural engineering and structural mechanics, serves in the Departments of Aerospace and Civil Engineering and supervises structural research in the Texas Transportation Institute. Dr. Teddy J. Hirsch, associate professor of civil engineering, has most recently been concerned with prestressed concrete piles and the stresses they undergo during driv ing. He has also conducted other research involving precast and pre stressed concrete structures. Attention Students Taking Entrance Exams: This shoe sale is made for you.

The A&M University Counseling and Test ing Center can provide important Help along this line, Director JS. A. iveney said. “One of the most important de cisions that any student must make during his university career is that of his vocational choice . . . stu dents with definite vocational cnoices are more likely to grad uate,” Keriey said. VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE is one of tne major services provided by the Counseling and Testing Center across from Sbisa Hail. Otner servives of the center are in the areas of helping the individ ual with study, reading skills and personal problems. More than 1,1)0 Aggies last aca demic year received individual help at the Center. Experince shows that half of all freshmen at A&M or elsewhere will change their vocational objectives at least once, Keriey said. “Many students will change these objectives two or three times as they learn more about themselves their aptitudes and interests,” he continued. Keriey pointed out it is danger ous for a student to make a voca tional decision by random choice or by trying different areas of study. THE COUNSELING center di rector said it is much more desir able for the student to avail him self of professional help from vocational counselors. Otherwise, there is a danger that the student will get behind in his studies and become discouraged before the final decision is made. Ample help is available for any Aggie whose thinking about career objectives may become somewhat confused at time, Keriey and others at the Center stress. “One time when these doubts may arise,” Keriey said, “comes in the fall semester of the freshmen year as mid-semester grades are issued. A student begins to won der if he should be a scientist, a mathematician or whatever. “Low grades are not necessarily indicative that a student should change his course of study, but it is indicative that something is wrong with his university career,” Keriey said. VOCATIONAL COUNSELORS emphasize the importance of a student not only understanding himself but also understanding the “world of work.” Careers and job opportunities change rapidly, and it is wise for a student to gain a firm under standing not only of his aptitudes and interest, but of the many op- rs.
