THE BATTALION
Adult Short Courses Stress
Newest Agriculture Trends
A&M University is in its sixth
year of conducting special adult
education programs to help keep
farmers and ranchers abreast of
technological changes.
What size electric motor should
be used for a certain job ? What
are the latest techniques in oxy-
acetylene welding? When are the
optimum times to fertilize an im
proved pasture?
These are just a few of the
areas covered in the university’s
short courses held in cooperation
with the Texas Education Agency
in Austin.
The courses, known as the Agri
cultural Education Specialist Pro
gram, are administered by the
A&M Department of Agricultural
Education and conducted through
local high school vocational agri
culture teachers. The Texas Edu
cation Agency provides about
$130,000 per year in support.

Saddle & Sirloin
To Hold Banquet
Outstanding students and live
stock men will be honored during
the annual Saddle and Sirloin Club
Banquet and Cattlemen’s Ball Fri
day at A&M University.
The banquet begins at 6:30 p.m.
in the Memorial Student Center
Ballroom and is followed by the
Cattlemen’s Ball.
Joe Sagebiel of Fredericksburg,
club president, said the banquet is
held to honor top Saddle and Sir
loin members, livestock judging
team members and animal hus
bandry majors.
Sagebiel said PhT degrees (Put
Hubby Through) will be awarded
to wives of graduating seniors.
Another feature is the selection of
a club sweetheart at the Cattle
men’s Ball.
and agricultural engineer with the
Department of Agricultural Edu
cation, said the purpose is to assist
public schools in fulfilling adult
education responsibilities at the
local level.
He said the agreement between
A&M and the Texas Education
Agency provides for specialists
from various university depart
ments in the College of Agricul
ture as course instructors.
Jaska emphasized that the pro
gram does not duplicate short
courses now conducted by the Tex
as Agricultural Extension Serv
ice. Instead, the adult education
activities supplement Extension
Service efforts.
The main difference between the
two is that Extension Service
courses usually last a day or less,
while the adult education program
has a minimum of 12 hours of in
struction spread over about four
days.
The adult education program is
also held for regular organized
adult farmer or State Association
of Young Farmers groups.
Boy Saved From Hollow Tree
James Stokes, 15, is hauled out of a hollow tree at LaHabra,
Calif., after he was trapped upside down for nearly three
hours. Firemen, unable to pull stokes out at first, sawed
off the upper half of the tree in order to free the youth.
He was treated for minor cuts and released. (AP Wire-

“MAN MUST SACRIFICE BEFORE HE CAN BE AN ARTIST”
says budding painter as he gives away his remington lektronic II
LOOK AT WHAT HE GAVE UP:
Convenience: 756 slots in the big shaving head
gather whiskers. Feed them to the cutters fast
er. Make short work of shaving.
Freedom: The cordless feature. Those built-in,
rechargeable energy cells that let you shave
anywhere without a plug. Forget to recharge?
There is a cord. Just plug it in and shave on
the spot.
Efficiency: 348 cutting edges of hard, durable
high-carbon steel. Specially honed on an angle,
they slice whiskers off without ploughing up skin.
—^BwaaBBaanonananmwnnflnrw^*
Comfort: The REMINGTON Roller Combs. 4 of
them. Right on top of the shaving head. They
push skin down, pop whiskers up into cutters,
so they’re stroked off gently. With a cord, with
out a cord, there just isn’t a faster, more com
fortable way to shave.
The thought of giving up the LEKTRONIC ll is
enough to make a man want to become a
teacher.
The REMINGTON LEKTRONIC II may cost a little more than most electric shavers. That’s because it’s worth more.
LEKTRONIC: Trademark, Sperry Rand Corporation, REMINGTON ELECTRIC SHAVER. BRIDGEPORT. CONN.
