A&M will receive $2,200 for a summer research grant in chemi cal engineering and an equal amount for a similar grant in mechanical engineering.

Harrison Puts Ags Through Red Tape Seniors, are you sure that you can graduate ? If not, you had better check with Luke Harrison, assistant registrar, who offers a service somewhat unique among colleges. Harrison will analyze your course records and tell you what you should take your senior year. Those who are only two semes ters away from graduation should go in and talk to him. He will give the information needed to complete the last two semesters. Harrison said that the problem with most students is that they do not read their catalogue re quirements for graduation. This often makes the student unin formed as to what courses he needs to take and what other require ments he needs for his degree. The stars would seem to stand still to an observer on the planet Venus. The spacecraft Mariner IPs probe on Venus in 1962 in dicated that the planet rotates very slowly — it at all.
