3 Departments Cooperate
To Advance Welding Study
Three A&M departments have
joined hands in an effort to advance
welding research in the interest
of structural performance. 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.

A T A&M CENTER
Help
Counselors
In Finding Caret
"A]
The real benefits of attending
college is the opportunity to learn
more about yourself. 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. Eloise
