Jones.
The recently appointed associ

guistics and mythlogy. Among
his correspondents were leading
English figures of literature,
law, drama and politics.
The two-volume edition to be
printed by the Oxford publisher
will contain 700 Jones letters,
400 of which are currently un

volves composing 6,000 footnotes
and documenting and explaining
references which Jones made to
events and times that have 'since

Fund for Organized Research
makes possible completion of the
research on schedule.
The linguistics specialist, who
came to A&M Sept. 1 from
Queens College of New York City
University, visited England, Asia
and Europe for field research re
lated to Jones’ linguistic inter
ests.
Dr. Cannon, 41-year-old native
of Sterling City, has published 11
specialized articles, a bibliogra

publication concerns a linguistic
approach to teaching composition
and literature.

at Texas, Stanford, Hawaii, Mich
igan, Florida, Puerto Rico and
California universities, the
American University Language
Center at Bangkok, Columbia

Texas A&M Probe
Highway Problem
Of Beautification
Highway beautification is the
aim of a research project being

Dr. William G. Adkins, re
search economist for TTI’s Trans
portation Economics division, is
principal investigator for the U.

are included.
Research involves:
A survey of landowners who
receive rentals from signs.
Field interviews with junk
yard operators regarding the
possible effect moving or screen
ing might have on business.
A mail survey of lodging estab
lishments as to their dependence
on outdoor advertising and pos

ness through absence of sings.
A computer analysis of more
than 60,000 Texas Highway De
partment signs.
Also planned is a 1967 survey
of eating establishments and oth

for directional purposes.
Co-investigators are H. G.
Muth and J. L. Buffington. Five
other staff members are assist
ing. Several graduate students
do part-time tabulation work.
A preliminary report-will be
made to the USBPR later this

Campus Interviews, Monday and Tuesday, October 17 and 18
In 1916 The Boeing Company’s career
was launched on the wings of a small sea
plane. Its top speed was 75 mph.
Now, half a century later, we can help
you launch your career in the dynamic en
vironment of jet airplanes, spacecraft, mis
siles, rockets, helicopters, or even seacraft.
Pick your spot in applied research, de
sign, test, manufacturing, service or facil
ities engineering, or computer technol
ogy. You can become part of a Boeing
program-in-being, at the leading edge of
aerospace technology. Or you might want
to get in on the ground floor of a pio
neering new project.
You’ll work in small groups where
initiative and ability get maximum ex
posure. And if you desire an advanced
degree and qualify, Boeing will help you
financially with its Graduate Study Pro
gram at leading universities and colleges
near company facilities.
Often it will be sheer hard work. But
we think you’ll want it that way when
you’re helping to create something unique
—while building a solid career. Visit your
college placement office and schedule an
interview with our representative. Boeing
