License Plates Go On Sale;
Early Purchases Trickle In
AUSTIN—License plates sales
started Monday and end April 1
throughout the state.
Texas Highway Department offi
cials say that a good many people
rush to buy plates the first week
of sales, but the biggest flurry
falls during the last week of March.

Wives Of Officials
At Executive Meet
Mrs. M. T. Harrington, first
honorary president, and Mrs. Earl
Rudder, second honorary president,
attended the Executive Board
Meeting of the Federation of A&M
University Mothers Clubs in the
Memorial Student Center Satur
day.
The Federation President, < Mrs.
H. Elbert Dew of Tyler, presided
as the governing body reviewed
plans and heard respective mem
bers duty reports.
The group heard talks by Presi
dent Earl Rudder and Mr. J. Wayne
Stark, Director of the MSC on
Higher Educational needs and the
Proposed Systems as recommended
by the Governor’s Board.
tificate of title—and money enough
to pay for the plates—are needed
to complete the transaction.
Lost receipts or ownership
papers may be replaced easily
enough by sending 25 cents for
each duplicate desired to the De
partment’s Motor Vehicle Division
in Austin (40th and Jackson
Streets). But remember—to issue
a duplicate the Department needs
your license number, make and
vehicle identification number. Re
ceipts may also be obtained from
the county in which the vehicle
was registered.
Texas license plates have a “new
look” this year. Each passenger
plate has a three-lettered prefix
followed by two or three numerals.
(Commercial and miscellaneous ve
hicles retain their own special
registration system.) The new
passenger registration system en
ables the Department to cope with
the increasing vehicle registration.
Since World War II, approxi
mately a quarter-million more ve
hicles have been registered yearly
in the state. This trend should
continue, but the new system should
provide sufficient numbers for at
least the next ten years.

Atomic Energy Research
Offers Graduate Grants
For the sixth year, atomic
energy research fellowships for
graduate students of Texas col
leges and universities are being
offered by the Texas Atomic
Energy Research Foundation.
The summer fellowships in
controlled nuclear fusion research
will again be offered to up to six
graduate students of high scho
lastic standing and with special
aptitude in experimental or theo
retical physics, electrical engi
neering or applied mathematics.
The Foundation, which consists
of ten investor-owned electric
utility companies in Texas, is
supporting a major research
effort aimed at controlling nu
clear fusion reactions for the
eventual production of electric
power.
The research is conducted at
the laboratories of the General
Atomic Division of General Dy
namics Corporation in San Diego,
California and on the campuses of
Texas universities.
To date, 24 graduate students
in physics, mathematics and engi
neering have worked alongside
General Atomic scientists in the
exciting quest for a means of
controlling the tremendous energy
of the H-bomb and harnessing it
for the generation of electric
power.
The fellowship recipients will
be selected by a committee repre
senting Texas educational institu
tions, the Foundation and General
Atomic. There is no limit to the
number of applications which may
be filed from any one college and
all graduate students, including
those who will begin graduate
work in 1965, will be considered.
This also includes instructors who
are working on advanced degrees.
Detailed announcements of the
1965 fellowship program have
been posted at Texas colleges and
universities and also have been
distributed to the appropriate
faculty department heads or staff
members. Copies of the announce
ment may be obtained by writing
the Texas Atomic Energy Re
search Foundation, P. O. Box 970,
Fort Worth, Texas.
Deadline for applications is
March 1, 1965 and announcement
of awards will be made to the
selected candidates by April 1,
1965.

Grad Record Exam
Registration for the Graduate
Record Examination this week is
the first of several deadlines ap
proaching for A&M graduate stu
dents. The Graduate College re
leased the listing of key dates

Lyon said the variety of Fed
eral agencies affords a unique op
portunity for individual develop
ment and personal satisfaction in
a virtually limitless span of pro
fessional occupations. In addition,
he pointed to promotions based on
merit, liberal annual and sick
leave provisions, comprehensive
health benefits, and a host of other
provisions for employees as typi
fying the progressive personnel
policies of the government. Ap
pointments to positions in the Fed
eral Career Service are made
without regard to race, religion,
sex, creed, national origin, or po

King, 256 Negroes Arrested
Over Right-To-Vote Protest
SELMA, Ala. (A 1 ) — Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr was arrested with
156 other Negroes during a right-
to-vote protest march Monday, and

ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH
Today I begin my eleventh year of writing this column in your
campus newspaper.
I wasn’t sure I’d be coming back this year. After a decade of
doing this column, I had retreated to my country seat, tired but
happy, to enjoy a nice long rest. But last night as I sat on my
verandah, peaceful and serene, humming the largo from A Long
Day's Night and worming my dog, a stranger suddenly appeared
before me.
He was a tall, clean-limbed man, crinkly-eyed and crooked-
grinned, stalwart and virile. “How do you do,” he said. “My
name is Stalwart Virile and I am with the Personna Stainless
Steel Razor Blade people.”
“Enchanted,” I said. “Take off your homburg and sit down."
I clapped my hands sharply. “Norman!” I called. “Another chair
for Mr. Virile!”

“Another chair for Mr. Virile!”
Obediently my dog trotted away and returned directly with a
fanback chair of Malayan rattan. He is the smartest dog in our
block.
“I suppose you’re wondering why I am here,” said Mr. Virile,
seating himself.
“Well, sir,” I replied, my old eyes twinkling roguishly, “I’ll
wager you didn’t come to read my meter.”
You can imagine how we howled at that one!
“That’s a doozy!” cried Mr. Virile, finally catching his breath.
“I must remember to tell it to Alice when I get home.”
“Your wife?” I said.
“My father,” he said.
“Oh,” I said.
“But enough of wit and humor,” he said. “Let us get down to
business. How would you like to write a campus column for
Personna Stainless Steel Razor Blades?”
“For money?” I said.
“Yes,” he said.
“My hand, sir,” I said and clasped his. Warmly he returned
the pressure, and soft smiles played upon our lips, and our eyes
were moist with the hint of tears, and we were silent, not trust
ing ourselves to speak.
“What will you write about in your campus column?” asked
Mr. Virile when he was able to talk again.
“I will take up the burning issues that vex the American un
dergraduate!” I cried, bounding to my feet. “I will explore, with
out fear or favor, such explosive questions as ‘Are roommates
sanitary?’ and ‘Should proctors be given a saliva test?’ and
‘Should capital punishment for pledges be abolished?’ and ‘Can
a student of 19 find happiness with an economics professor of 80?’”
“And will you also say a pleasant word from time to time about
Personna Stainless Steel Razor Blades?” asked Mr. Virile.
“Sir,” I said simply, “what other kind of word except pleasant
could I possibly say about Personna Blades, which give me more
luxury shaves than Beep-Beep or any other blade I might name?”
“Another of my products is Burma Shave,” said Mr. Virile.
“Can you find it in your heart to mention Burma Shave occa
sionally?”
“But of course!” I declared. “For is not Burma Shave the
whisker-wiltingest lather in the land?”
“Yes,” he admitted.
And then he shook my hand again and smiled bravely and
was gone—a tall silhouette moving erectly into the setting sun.
“Farewell, good tonsorialist!” I cried after him. “Aloha!”
And turned with a will to my typewriter.
