Wooten of the De- 5&U Student lustodian Jobs fow Available A training program for stu- ients applying for jobs as stu dent custodians for the spring semester was announced by Walter H. Parsons Jr., superin tendent of the Department of Buildings and Utilities. The training program will con sist of three one-hour sessions from 5 to 6 p.m., Feb. 3-5, under the direction of Marvin A. Bell, custodial foreman. A recent study of dormitory housekeeping costs has revealed that in most cases the dormi tories are maintained in better condition and at a Iqwer cost where full time custodial em ployees are utilized; however, the student custodian program could afford job opportunity to almost a hundred students. It is believed that this training will produce sufficient improvement to warrant its continuation. Parsons emphasized that only those students who complete this training will be eligible for stu dent custodian jobs. Training and job application blanks are vailable in the B&U office. Students desiring to make appli cation should obtain an appli cation blank and return it to B&U no later than Jan. 31. partment of Economics and So ciology, has been elected secre tary-treasurer of the Texas Society of Farm and Ranch Managers and Appraisers.

I MOVE AHEAD WITH IBM DATA PROCESSING Jack Shannon of A&M Universi ty makes a good candidate for “What’s My Line” as few people would associate a glass craftsman and a university. The relationship is plain though if you think of the intricate mazes of glassware needed for experi ments in scientific fields. Shannon fabricates oil diffusion pumps, which require three days of work, concentric tube columns and other items to meet the re searcher’s specifications. “Fabri cate” is a key word here for Shannon is not a glass blower in the usual sense, although he could make the glass ships and other trinkets found in curio shops. THE NORMANGEE NATIVE left school teaching in 1950 and went to work in the glass shop of the Dow Chemical Co. plant at Freeport. He was there almost nine years before going to Okla homa State University. “Then I got a chance to come back home and came to A&M in November, 1961,” Shannon said. Since his arrival to establish the glass shop in the chemistry build ing basement he has filled orders from A&M faculty and graduate students working in such diverse fields as chemistry, activation analysis, physics, plant sciences and the biological sciences. “I don’t think you ever learn it all, that’s one reason I like this work,” Shannon said. He does surprising things with glass such as sewing together broken bits of glassware. THE VARIETY OF ORDERS also challenges Shannon who rare ly has found he could not fabri cate glassware desired by a re searcher. The raw materials are glass tubing and a burner capable of heating the glass to the necessary temperature range of more than 1500-degrees Fahrenheit or con siderable higher. A large oven with a vacuum device also is used for some work, as is a lathe neces sary to hold the larger pieces. Heating to avoid breaking is among the keys to successful glasswork. Everything from what is known as soft glass to hard glasses or fused quartz is used in filling orders. The researchers come to Shan non to avoid delays in sending off orders or to fabricate items un obtainable anywhere. [Meteorologists Set New Grad Course A three hour graduate course in agricultural meteorology will be offered by the Department of Oceanography and Meteorology for the first time next semester, announced Dr. Richard C. Potts, assistant director of agricultural education. Agricultural Meteorology 666 3 hours is a graduate followup course for agricultural Meteoro logy 465. Climatology, instrumentation, plant and animal response to cli matic elements, microclimates, weather modification, climatic re quirements of plants, phenology, and agrometeorological services are aspects of the subject will be included in the new course.
