A&M University’s newest de partment, the Department of Philo sophy, is now in its second semes ter. According to its head, and so far its only staff member—Dr. John B. Orr—it is progressing “better than expected in its first year.” Orr said that the big question during the summer was "Would this department really go at A&M?” The answer came with fall registration. "Registration was excellent,” said Orr, "and this trend has continued into the spring semester.” Enrollment each semes ter was around 100. He said he felt the courses were well received by students enrolled and by other departments. He said he was pleasantly surprised at the high plane of serious discus- NOTICE! ALL STUDENTS . . .

In the fall the department of fered "Introduction to Philosophy” and "Philosophy of Religion.” This spring "Modem Philosophy” and “Ethical Theory” have been added. “Philosophy of Religion” is not offered in the spring semester. Courses are to be added each semester with the eventual goal being the offering of a minor. No plans for a major are being con sidered at present. In the fall of 1965 "Ancient and Medieval Philosophy” and “Major Issues of Philosophy’ are to be introduced. The issues course is a graduate-level introductory course. "Offering an introductory course at the graduate level is something new here,” Dr. Orr said. Orr, the driving force behind the present department, was grad uated from the University of New Mexico. He received his Master’s Degree from Yale in 1963 and will receive his PhD from Yale in Philosophy this June. His doc- trate research was in economic ethics and the title of his thesis is “Justice and National Income Stability.” 60 High School Counselors Visit Campus Saturday Information to help counselors charged with vocational guidance of area high school students will be given Saturday as an expected 60 counselors meet on the campus.

Misses Nan Brown and Judith Davis, the first women ever to en roll for a course in herpetology, are beginning to feel like veterans in wildlife management after two weeks of instruction by Dr. Rich ard Baldauf, professor of wildlife management. Women are generally thought to be about as afraid of snakes as they are of mice. Miss Brown, a post graduate student from Dunmore, Pa., put it like this: "I’m not afraid of snakes. They feel better than earthworms.” And Miss Davis, a graduate stu dent from Scotch Plains, N. J., said: “I don’t like em, but I’ve held them before—during my un dergraduate days in invertebrate zoology at Cornell and while I was a nature counselor at a sum mer camp.” A friendly bull snake appeared to enjoy special attention and wrapped itself around her left arm as she posed for a picture. Miss Brown, a high school sci ence for 12 years, holds a masters degree in secondary education and psychology from Seton Hall and a bachelors degree in science and French from Marywood College. She is attending A&M on the Academic Year Institute plan spon sored by the National Science Foundation. "I decided a change would do me good and that I would be able to go back to teaching with re newed vigor. Besides, it never Doctorate Offered Now In Forestry The College of Agriculture, which has operated a two-year un dergraduate program in forestry for many years, is now offering a doctorate degree in forestry sci ence. The new program stems from re cent approval by the Texas Com mission on Higher Education. Al so approved was a School of Na tural Bio-Sciences composed of the Departments of Recreation and Parks, Range Science and Wild life Science. Dr. R. E. Patterson, dean of the College of Agriculture, said courses leading to a PhD in forestry sci ence include engineering, econo mics, forestry genetics, plant pathology, plant physiology, soil physics, soil chemistry, soil min eralogy, ecology and taxonomy. Supporting courses are in range science, wildlife science, soil sci ence and genetics. The dean said the PhD program will be supported by fast-growing forestry research in the Texas Ag ricultural Experiment Station. The station is the certified institution in Texas to receive research funds in the Federal Forestry Research Program. Dr. R. C. Potts, assistant director of agricultural instruction, said the whole program will enable A&M to better utilize supporting course work in forestry than has been possible in the past. "On an undergraduate level, the student can obtain a BS degree in one of the plant science options with a minor in forestry, then move through the PhD program in for estry science,” Potts said. He said opportunities for doc toral degree holders in forestry science include research with the U. S. Forest Service, research with industry, and research and teach ing positions at colleges and uni versities. The Texas Forest Service, with headquarters at A&M, will lend strength to the new doctoral pro gram, Dr. A. D. Folweiler, Forest Service director, believes. TFS field personnel will be able to help and wrok with the graduate stu dents. “And I think the Texas Forest Service and the East Texas forest business will benefit,” Folweiler added. Potts said the forestry science doctoral program will begin opera tion this fall. hurts to have more education.
