Administrators Air Two-Year College Problems Here School administrators aired problems facing Texas two-year colleges during the 12th annual Junior College Conference at A&M University Monday. Subjects ranged from entrance exams and grades to data process ing equipment and transfer of jun ior college credits to senior col leges. Dr. Frank W. R. Hubert, dean of the College of Arts and Sci ences at A&M, said colleges need to improve their programs of com munications with prospective stu dents and public school personnel. HUBERT recommended that Texas, during the next two-year period, adopt a “well-defined statewide testing program to be administered by the Texas Educa tion Agency” to all college-bound high school seniors. In a talk on “New Perspectives in School and College Relations,” Hubert also recommended colleges provide secondary schools data on each student’s performance “in the basic subject matter areas and cur ricula.” Detailed information on the total program of studies at the freshman level of each college should be provided high schools, he added. PLANS FOR data processing programs in junior colleges were discussed by Claude Owen of Kil gore College and R. L. Smith Jr., of A&M. The speakers outlined costs of computing equipment and the type of machines needed. United Chest Awards College Station United Chest drive director Dr. Chris H.

HISTORICAL MILESTONE ATTAINED History Prof To Be Honored At Texas Writers Roundup Dr. Joseph M. Nance, professor of history and head of A&M Uni versity Department of History and Government will be among the out standing Texas authors of the year to be honored at the fifteenth an nual Writers Roundup sponsored by the Austin chapter of Theta Sigma Phi, honorary journalism fraternity for women. The Roundup, to be held in the Crystal Ballroom of the historic Driskill Hotel, is planned to bring together the state’s top authors and to honor 14 of them for out standing publication the last year. This year’s writers and their works are varied in talent and con tent, ranging from friction to scholarship. The works were pub lished on both sides of the Atlantic. Nance’s “After San Jacinto: The Texas Mexican Frontier, 1836- 1841,” has been chosen the out standing book in Texas history •♦OOCA-COIA" AKO "COKE-' ARC REGISTERED TRADE-MARKS WHICH IDENTIFY ONLY THE RROOUCT OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY. exam... pencil... paper proctor... time... begin think...blank...tick tick guess...tick tick...write tick tick...hurry...finish time... pause... things gO TKAOt-MAJUC* Bottled under the authority of The Coca-Cola Company by: BRYAN COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO. published this year.

IT WAS IN the summer of 1941, after he completed the doctorate at the University of Texas that Nance started the basic research for a history of the Texan Mier Expedition of 1842. Nance studied under the late Eugene C. Barker, famed Texas historian. Having just completed a detailed study of the “New England Atti tude toward Westward Expansion, 1800-1850,” as a doctoral disser tation, Nance was eager to explore the area of Anglo-American border relations with Mexico. He was per plexed by the lack of scholarly re search on certain areas of the history of the Republic of Texas, particularly in regard to the front ier with Mexico. Nance soon realized, as he as sembled the original source mater ial from widely-scattered cities, the necessity of a careful study of the lower Rio Grande frontier as a background to an understand ing of the disastrous Mier Expedi tion. “AFTER SAN JACINTO” is the first of three books which will tell the whole story. The second, Pakistani To Host Evening The A&M Chapter of the Pakis tan Student’s Association of Amer ica will hold a Cultural Evening at 7:30 p.m. Friday in the Memor ial Student Center Ballroom. Items to be exhibited at the meeting will include various daily articles of home or cottage indus tries, scenes of interest and his torical pictures. Shadow play will be used to illustrate the Pakistani emergence from British colonialism. Also planned for the program are Pakistani dances to be per formed by two trained American girls and Pakistani women. Alauddin Ahmad, president of the A&M Chapter will open the meeting with a brief talk on the aims of the association. to be published by the University of Texas Press in 1964, will com plete the story through 1842. The third volume, now about complete, will be the history of the Mier Expedition and carry the story of the frontier down to the annexation of Texas to the United States. The first volume tells the full story of Texas-Mexican relations from the Battle of San Jacinto to the capture in March 1842 by a Mexican army. Nance joined the A&M faculty in the Fall of 1941 but World War II soon interrupted research on the Texas project. He served as a communications officer on the staff of Adh. Chest er W. Nimitz at Pearl Harbor. While in Hawaii, he became inter ested in the life and career of one of the early American missionaries who was a leader in the native government of the islands. THE A&M professor plans, when the trilogy on Texas-Mexican re lations is completed, to do a bio graphy of the colorful career of the missionary of the Congregational Church. “I always felt that a project once begun should be completed before taking up another,” Nance said in discussing his resumption of research in Texas history fol lowing his release from the Navy.

Tech officials have been forced to consider a plan under which the men and women would use separate entrances and the space would be split between the sexes. Only the cafeteria in the currently two-thirds filled dorm would be shared. NOW OPEN PISA PIZZA “A Tower of Enjoyment” 319 Patricia VI 6-7340 Open 5:30 p. m. to 11:30 p. m.
