Major Forrest Mims of Houston and Capt. Ronald Rabb of Green ville presented a prototype, photos and drawings of a new type of bachelor officers quarters to the Air Force Institute of Technology last week at Randolph Air Force Base in San Antonio. The project here was unique in that the students were given the opportunity to work on an actual project with permission and en couragement of the Air Force. They worked on a directed pro-; ject with criteria furnished by the Air Force. Major Mims and Captain Rabb enrolled at A&M 27 months ago' for an accelerated program in architecture. Rabb also earned a degree in civil engineering. The officers have been working for 14 weeks on the BOQ prototype.

We Really Need You only know the half of it. Our business no longer hangs by a fiber—cellulosic or otherwise. Far from it. We're researching, producing and marketing a rich range of products —chemicals, plas tics, paints, forest products and petroleum products —all over the world. Sales have more than quadrupled in the past 10 years. “Celanese’ sales growth, its hefty interests in chemicals and its hugely expanded foreign operations have al ready moved it into a big new class”, said CHEMICAL WEEK in a recent article.* What does this mean to you? Since our future expansion depends on our continued ability to develop top-notch people, it is, after all, in our own best interest to bring you along as fast as you can take it, and give you all the support you need — in your technical specialty or in management. LET’S MAKE A DATE Give our college representative a chance to fill you in on more of the specifics. He will be on your campus within the next two weeks — arrange through your Placement Office to see him. If you miss our visit, drop a postcard listing your major study to Mr. E. J. Corry, Supervisor of College Relations, Celanese Corporation of America, 522 Fifth Avenue, New York, N. Y. 10036. Each cubicle has a sleeping area, a private bath and small kitchen ette. The concept is designed to give each officer an option between semi-public space and greater pri vacy. Pate called the plan “very plas tic” since the basic idea can be compared with building blocks. Mims and Rabb contend that the concept of the plan is a special interest to the services since it could be applied anywhere in a semi-temperate climatic zone. “We are educating leaders here,” he claimed. “Since these men are officers, they were already cate gorized as leaders when they came to us. That made our job easier. They certainly, produced an ex ceptional amount of work,” he said. Although Major Mims is leav ing, he will be well represented at A&M. His sons are following his example.

A college gradu ate can join a company, get locked into one type of activity and stay there and stay there and stay there. That’s not the way we do it at Ford Motor Company where our young men may work in several areas to develop their full capabilities. We beheve that a thorough grounding in many phases of our business is one of the best ways to cultivate management talent. An example: Bob Anderson of our finance staff. Since Bob came to us in July, 1963, he’s been actively involved in five important areas of the Company. As a member of our finance staff, he has reviewed budget and cost programs of a division marketing cars, another manufacturing tractors and subsidiaries engaged in automobile financing and insurance. In addition. Bob was selected to assist in the 1964 national labor-management negotiations. His present assignment is as a staff budget analyst for product engineering and styling. Because of experiences like these, Bob will be able to channel his career toward the activity that interests him most. As a large automobile concern, Ford Motor Company needs people who can handle a wide variety of assignments. Our college graduates come to us with all types of educational backgrounds. And many of them move into management positions unrelated to their degrees. If a fast-moving career appeals to you, see our representative when he visits your campus. He may have the spice for your future. Robert Anderson A.B., Univ. of So.
