Late ■ed. A&M student organizations as diverse as the Singing Cadets, Ro deo Club and Freshman Drill Team are among the many benefitting from the business acumen of Carl Birdwell and associates at the Ex change Store. The benefits take a readily appreciated form, money. Exchange Store prices are com petitive with “profits” distributed annually — much is channeled through the Memorial Student Cen ter—in accordance with recom mendations of the faculty-student Exchange Store Advisory Board. The current distribution of $31,- 561 awaiting approval of the Board of Directors is typical of the an nual grants. Serving students, faculty and others on the campus has been Birdwell’s major goal since he ar rived to manage the Exchange Store. His career now spans near ly 40 years divided almost equally between the store here and the college store at John Tarleton Ag ricultural College from which he graduated. Birdwell has been a wheelhorse in the National Association of Col lege Stores. In 1954-55 he was na tional president. “If I had the past years to relive in retail activity, I can think of no finer environment in which to spend that time than on a univer sity campus catering to the needs of America’s finest—the student,” Birdwell said. The Exchange Store now ap proaching the half-century mark of serving Aggies has never cost the taxpayers a cent, Birdwell points out. The two-story building hous ing the store was erected during the 1920s and now is almost out grown despite additions built through the years. Talk with Birdwell and two facts stand out. First, few students realize how different campus life would be if it were not for the use of Exchange Store “profits” in supporting var ied student activities. Second, a college store some times answers odd, last-minute cus tomer requests. Not too many years ago some one decided that the Corps of Ca dets should wear white gloves at the Thanksgiving Day game 11' days later. Birdwell managed to have the gloves here within eight days. The years and experience have mellowed Birdwell into something of a campus philosopher. He is a self-described optimist “for a pes simist just won’t last long in the business.” Six-Week Exams In order to help give the A&M Consolidated High School students more to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, E.

Bureau of Standards and is one of the top men in the field of design experiments,” said Dr. R. J. Freund, associate director. Freund explained that design was the art and science combina tion of conducting experiments to minimize the effects of undesir able outside factors and to maxi mize the desired sensitivity of the experiments. A&M Could Test Napoleon’s Hair “The Activation Analysis Re search Laboratory at A&M is capa ble of determining the amounts of arsenic present in Napoleon’s hair,” Lloyd E. Fite, associate head of the activation lab, said Monday. Fite made the statement when questioned Monday, after the As sociated Press released a story about Napoleon’s death from Glas gow, Scotland. It concerned evi dence that led scientists there to believe that Napoleon had been slowly poisoned with arsenic. “We have conducted atomic tests in our lab that were similar to the ones ran on Napoleon’s hair in Scotland,” Fite said.
