Campus Feeling Favors Daylight Savings Time THE BATTALION Tuesday, April 19, 1966 College Station, Texas Page 3 Several Texas Aggies would like to stop the world April 24, but not to get off. A sampling of the campus point of view favors daylight saving time.

Available from Student Publications Basement YMCA time this year to turn their clocks back April 24. Mrs. Gladys Bishop, Placement and Student Aid Office secretary, goes along with the one-hour clock advance. “For persons with chores to do around the house, the extra day light time would be nice,’’ she remarked. “During our busy sea son, it wouldn’t make any differ ence though. We get here before the sun comes up and leave after it goes down.” Elimination of chaos is the reason Dr. Charles McCandless of the Department of Education and Psychology favors Central Daylight Time. “There are no real limitations,” he pointed out, “and it would cause less confusion nationwide.” Information office writer Britt Martin sounded off with a “You bet” for the extra hour of sun light. “It would give me more time to drown golf balls,” he chuckled. Joe K. Bush Jr., senior pre-law major from Temple, could prob ably use a few extra minutes, too. The married yell leader is carry ing a 23 credit hour study load this semester. The new law sets April 21 and October 30, the last Sunday in April and October, as beginning and ending dates for 1966 day light saving time. Next year, the entire nation must start daylight time for the six-month period on the specified dates. State legis latures may vote to exempt the entire state from the require ment. A&M Wins Urban Grant Texas A&M has won a $15,000 Pittsburgh Plate Glass Founda tion grant for development of a program of urban engineering at the graduate level. The winning proposal outlined a guideline report for plotting the course engineering education should follow to meet responsi bilities imposed by urbanization, said Dr. Charles H. Samson, De partment of Civil Engineering head. Development of the program will require involvement of dis ciplines such as statistics, com puter science, operations re search, management and behav ioral sciences. A&M competed with Carnegie Institute of Technology, Penn sylvania State, Purdue, Notre Dame, Minnesota ' and Stanford Universities for the grant to ex tend knowledge and understand ing of tomorrow’s municipal problems in physical develop ment. The fellowship program makes available financial aid for select ed outstanding individuals to continue their education in the fields of urban planning, design and development.

RAMADA INN Bryan-College Station 846-8811 The Institute of Electronic Sci ence is helping fill a critical void in United States space explora tion programs. The institute trains technicians for fields of research, production, computer science, medicine, engi neering and sales. Electronic science graduates draw starting salaries compar able to engineers, claims L. K. Jonas, chief instructor. “All graduates accept jobs pay ing $500 or more per month,” Jonas continued. “One man who earned $250 monthly before tak ing our two-year course is mak ing $700 a month in industry.” The need for trained techni cians is illustrated by an excerpt from a publication by the Ameri can Council on Education: “Dur ing some of the space flights from Cape Kennedy, the control center was manned by 20 scien tists and 60 technicians.” Some studies indicate the min imum desirable ratio of techni cians to scientists and engineers is 2 to 1. To achieve this ratio, the ACE article cites a need to graduate 200,000 technicians an nually for the next few years. To fill the minimum need of industry, the study calls for the U. S. educational system to triple its present effort. Auston S. Kerley, Counseling and Testing Center director, speaks of the problem: “A great challenge facing high school, junior and senior college counselors is development of bet ter skills in identifying^ and plac ing highly intelligent, but not academically oriented students, into programs such as electronic science. “Many thousands of bright young people not turned by tem perament to academic learning end up in menial jobs,” Kerley continued. “Such people need challenge and training in order to make contributions to society. They respond to problems which can be immediately solved by ac tion. These are students who often drop out of school. Tech nical training often answers their needs.” The Institute of Electronic Sci ence is unique in that it gives instruction beyond technical training. Psychology, human relations, communication and job responsibility are part of the curriculum. “We see no point in giving a man only technical information and skills,” Jonas emphasizes. “He must get along with people, too, if he is to succeed.” A comment by George O. Welch, personnel director for Geospace Corporation in Hous ton, indicates Jonas and his 6- man staff are answering indus try’s needs. “We hire all the Institute of Electronic Science graduates we can get,” Welch remarked. “Our competitors do the same. “The institute comes closest of all technical schools in training students who meet our require ments,” he pointed out. “Frankly, I believe the needs of industry are not known to a lot of schools.” NEED CASH?
