Architectural Project Considered
To House Armed Forces Officers
A unique architectural project major. And Keith Mims plans, spring semester, following mid-, solidated High School in College
for two mid-semester graduates is
being considered by the United
States Armed Forces for future
design of bachelor officers’ quar
ters.
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.
The result is a practical BOQ
in that it complies with Air Force
regulations for square footage,
cost, etc. In the BOQ, a large
living room is encircled by a num
ber of living cubicles or individual
rooms.
to enroll as a freshman for the year graduation from A&M Con-1 Station.
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. Forrest Mims III is
a junior government and history

“Where Aggies Trade”
Ford Motor
Company is:
variety
It’s been written that “variety is the spice of life.”
But at many companies it’s difficult to obtain a
wide range of work experiences. 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.
