Adjunct To Add
New Techniques
The A&M University’s “Hill
Country” school is adding some
thing new this summer.
“The latest educational tech
niques: programmed materials and
teaching machines will be used
to supplement supervised study,”
Director W. D. Kutach said.
The A&M Adjunct offers courses
in English, mathematics and phy
sical education taught by A&M
professors. A student may earn
six or seven hours of academic
credit in four different study pro
grams.
The program at Junction planned
to help new college freshmen make
the transition from high school,
has attracted a number of out-of-
state students this year, Kutach
said.
“Only a few places remain,”
he reported.
The first session begins June
1 and the second opens July 13.
Openings also remain for the
second six weeks.
The Adjunct serves 190 fresh
men each term. Limited enroll
ment, counseling and guidance op
portunities, and supervised stu
dy environment benefit students,
Kutach said.
$10.
Prizes were provided by the Ro
bert F. Smith Memorial Fund, ex
cept for the first place sophomore
which was furnished by the Hillel
Halperin Award Fund. Smith and
Haleprin were mathematics profes
sors at A&M.
Veteran Designer
Of Highways Dies
Thomas J. Kelly, who spent 37
years designing Texas highways,
died Wednesday in a Bryan hospi
tal.
The 70-year-old civil engineer
was graduated from A&M in 1918.
He was head of the Design Section
of the Texas Highway Department
for seven years. He worked for the
Highway Department from 1921
until 1954 and was a division engi
neer in San Angelo, Beaumont and
Pecos.
Kelly came to A&M in 1954 as
a research engineer for the Texas
Transportation Institute and re
tired in 1958.
A&M Chancellor Emeritus Gibb
Gilchrist, who served as State En
gineer for the Texas Highway De
partment for 11 years, termed
Kelly’s contributions to the de
sign of Texas highways “greater
than those of any other one

Senate Votes Down
Two Amendments
WASHINGTON <A>) — The Sen
ate, after 49 days of talk, defeat
ed two amendments to the civil
rights bill Wednesday night —
one in a dramatic series of roll
calls that produced a major test
of strength. Both amendments
were opposed by the bill’s spon-
The first rejection was a
change proposed by Sen. Thurs
ton B. Morton, D-Ky. It would
have provided for jury trails in
all contempt of court cases aris
ing out of the bill.
THE FINAL vote defeating it
was 46-45, which had the effect
of confirming an earlier 45-45
roll call on the same amendment.
Two other parlimentary votes on
it intervened.
The second amendment defeated
was offered by Sen. John Sherman
Cooper, R-Ky. He wanted to re
quire jury trails in criminal con
tempt proceedings stemming only
from the public accommodations
and fair employment sections of
the bill.
The long freeze on action was
cracked under an informal agree
ment between the Senate’s leader
ship and Southern foes of the mea
sure. It pointed to a realization
of predictions by the bill’s spon
sors that their own jury trail pro
posal would eventually be accepted.
A VOTE on the leadership pro
posal could be a long way off
— or soon — depending on how
many parliamentary roadblocks the
Southerners want to bring into
play.
But no votes are expected Thurs
day or Friday while several sen-
