THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station* Texas Thursday, January 19, 1967 Post Office Jobs Offered Students By Civil Service Future Farmers Choose Officer ‘Tut trying to decide if I should invest my time in study ing or trying to tftik nay profs out of a grade!" Aggies Should Be Good Sports Too By CHARLES ROWTON Students who want govern ment jobs this summer can quali fy as seasonal assistants in Unit ed States Post Offices, according to recent announcement from the United States Civil-Service Com mission. Requirements for these posi tions are passing a one-hour writ ten test, driving ability in some cases, and being 18 years old. High school graduates over 16 may also apply. Applicants who passed the Examination for Post Office Summer Jobs for 1966 do not need to take the test again. The Post Office Department hires seasonal assistants for temporary employment during the summer to assist their perma nent employes. They are also hired to assist with the Christ mas rush and other busy times. The jobs may be part-time ox- full-time, depending on the needs of the individual post office. W. S. EDMONDS, superintend ent of the post office station at the Memorial Student Center, said that most of the jobs in volved separating mail or other basic work that anyone could do. Some of the positions do require the operation of post office ve hicles. Renumeration is at the rate of $2.44 an hour for the job which is rated at level PFS-3 under the Civil Service system of rating. We’re embarrassed. After Tuesday’s editorial regarding Southwest Con ference Sportsmanship Trophy winner, Texas U., and its student misbehavior at their recent Tech basketball game, we appear to be the “pot casing the kettle black.” During Tuesday’* game with the Longhorns, A&M students put on a most embarrassing performance. Texas players were corrstantly heckled. The referees were booed and paper cups were thrown at them. This is not the way Aggies are expected to act. Even though the rivalry at a t.u. ballgame is so in tense that it brings near chaos, we should not forget that it is our responsibility to conduct ourselves in a sports- man-like manner. Most Aggies don’t realize what the Sportsmanship Trophy means, simply because it has been so long since A&M has won it. To be a good sport in both victory and defeat is a virture that seems to be losing its place in today’s world. The Aggies may have won the game on the court, but we lost in the stands due to those who have forgotten that while being an Aggie, they must also be good sports. Texas College Board Awards $75,000 Grant Official Says Best Public Relations Is Good Product, Satisfied Customer Two matching: grants totaling almost $75,000 for institutional research projects have been awarded Texas A&M by the Tex as College Coordinating Board.

Crellin, Ford Motor Company public relations field office manager in Dallas. Crellin spoke here Wednesday to Dr. David R. Bower’s public relations class and Jack D.
