A large number of people in the field of agriculture would be wise to take advantage of this opportunity, advises Mrs. Gladys Bishop of the Placement Office. These jobs give students a Very good opportunity to gain inform ation and experience in their field of interest. Students who qualify for em ployment spend the summer in a county office of the Farmers Home Administration. These trainees help farm families in the general management of their farming operations. The jobs have two different Civil Service ratings. Students with 30 semester hours can qual ify for a GS-3 rating with pay of $82 per week, while those with at least two and one-half years of study can be classified as a GS-4 with pay of $92 per week. To qualify for these jobs, one must first pass a written exami nation. This test checks verbal abilities, abstract reasoning, and graph and table interpretations. Those who have already taken the test do not need to take it again to be eligible for a position. Further information on these jobs may be obtained from the Placement Office. To register for the test, one should go by the Placement Office and fill out Form 5000 AB. This form should be completed and sent to the Farmers Home Administration be fore Dec. 16, 1966 for the Jan. 14, 1967 test, and before Feb. 28, 1967 for the April 8, 1967 test.

I hope you noticed one thing as the game ended. The Aggies were really moving good and should the game have lasted another quarter we would have outscored the Longhorns. We were already building momentum for next year. This football season, although a good one, has been costly in some respects. Our own Scott Blessing received a severe leg injury. He is recovering in St. Lukes Hospital in Houston and could surely use some warm Aggie encouragement. Even more tragic than the story on Scott Blessing is the death of Clyde Smithey. He left a family behind. The Student Senate wrote Mrs. Smithey and expressed the regrets of the Tex as A&M Student Body. In addi tion the Association of Christian Athletes here at A&M is taking up a collection for her. In accordance with the sacri fices these young men make to provide entertainment for mil lions of people on weekends, it seems that we could be more ap preciative of their efforts. The Student Senate passed a resolu tion at its last meeting to which everyone should pay special at tention. It reads: The Student Senate would like to remind the student body that their conduct at athletic contests involving the University reflects on their school. If a young man is willing to sacrifice his life for a game, we can show that game a little more respect. Retired Professor Receives Citation Joseph J. Woolket, a former head of Texas A&M’s Modern Language Department, has been named to Professor Emeritus status by A&M’s Board of Direc tors. Professor Woolket retired from the A&M faculty June 1, 1966, completing 41 years of service to the university. He served 19 years as head of the Modern Lan guage Department before relin quishing the post in 1964. Financial assistance for the 12th Student Conference on Na tional Affairs Dec. 7-10 at Texas A&M University is coming from as far away as Viet Nam. Lt. Jerome Rektorik, a platoon leader for the Army’s 1st Cavalry Division in Viet Nam, sent a $50 check. “It doesn’t seem so long ago that I was there with Gary Tis dale and J. T. Rose and others,” Rektorik wrote. “We wondered then what we would do if we didn’t meet our budget.” Rektorik was a SCONA execu tive committeeman in 1964 and a Brigade Commander in the Corps of Cadets. SCONA XII has a $17,000 budget. Capt. Howard Head, a green beret wearer with the U. S. Spe cial Forces, soon to be assigned to South America, sent $25. Head was president of the MSC Coun cil and Directorate in 1962. Jon L. Hagler, a SCONA execu tive Committeeman in 1964, now an investments representative in Shawnee Mission, Kan., con tributed $20. Hagler was cadet colonel of the Corps of Cadets in 1958. Joe Horn, an executive commit teeman when President Johnson, then Vice President Johnson, spoke to SCONA, sent $50. Horn, now a stocks representative for First National Bank in Dallas, headed a task force to plan secur ity for the vice president’s visit to Aggieland. Brad Crockett, SCONA II chairman, now president of Crockett Nurseries in Harlingen, contributed $50. THE BATTALION Opinions expressed in The Battalion are those of the student writers only.
