like to stop the world April 24,

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.

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.”
