Odom, a senior journalism major at Texas A&M, attended the recent second an nual Lewis Kleid Scholarship Grant Direct Mail Institute in Chicago for talented college stu dents who are headed for careers in advertising. This special class was composed of 35 college students who were selected from 27 colleges in 19 states and Canada. The 4-day In stitute which began on June 11, was sponsored by the Educational Foundation of the Direct Mail Advertising Association, a nation al trade association which services 2,500 members from its headquar ters in New York City. Each student was selected on the quality of personal letters of application and their professor’s recommendations. After the In stitute, the students will spend the summer in paid trainee posi tions, many of them volunteered by DMAA-member companies. These companies include ad agenc ies, publishing houses, direct mail consultants and advertising de partments in both consumer and industrial fields. 'Michael is the son of Mr. and Mrs. B. M.

Stage Center Opens Melodrama Play The old Woolworth Building in downtown Bryan will be the scene of Stage Center’s melodrama “Only an Orphan Girl” which opens June 30 and continues for seven nights — July 1, July 3-4 and July 6-7-8. Served in cabaret style, audi ences will enjoy refreshments, acts, group singing, and a local combo during the cabaret hour and between acts of the melo drama performance. Entertain ment begins at 7 p.m. and curtain time is 8 a.m. Directed by Dr. Wendell Land- mann, “Only an Orphan Girl” re volves around Nellie, a foundling, who has been brought up by the Perkinses, a good-hearted farm couple who have a son, Dick, of their own. Arthur, the villian and the brother of Nellie’s real father, is out to swindle Nellie out of her true inheritance — with the help of his charmingly cunning wife, Ethel. Mrs. Appleby, the corn-fed county sheriff, and her adorable little daughter Lucy, unwittingly aid Arthur in his sinister plot against Nellie; but Dick, the un daunted hero, foils Arthur’s vile, venemous designs in a chilling, death-defying sequence of events. Cast members include June Cooper, as Nellie; Rick Land- mann, Dick; Jesse Minkert, the villain Arthur; A. G. McGill and Jan Alston, Paw and Maw Per kins; Kay Slowey, Sheriff Apple by; Cora Simon, as little Lucy, and Wendy Ray, as the villian’s curvaceous wife Ethel. Tickets are available from Stage Center members and also at the door. Box office will open each evening at 6:45 according to assistant director Florence M. Farr. THE VILLAIN PLOTS A dastardly villain, played by Jesse Minkert, a Texas A&M architecture major, plots against the sweet, virtuous Nellie in Stage Center’s production of “Only an Orphan Girl” which opens June 30. A&M Custodians Are Rated Near Top Of Their Class mwM MELODRAMA HEROINE June Cooper, heroine of Stage Center’s summer melodrama, pleads with emotion to the villain to let her live. Custodial service forces at Tex as A&M 1 are near the top of their class. The Physical Plant Department section graded 94 per cent on keeping 2% million square feet of floor spic and span — among other responsibilities — in a re cent audit through Service Engi neering Associates. The better-than-good rating by Walter H. Parson’s physical plant section reflects new procedures, techniques, organization and atti tudes. The corporation indiciated a 90 per cent audit rating is “good.” Parsons noted that Plant Oper ations Assistant Obie Haugen will review audit areas of less than 100 per cent “to see if effort can be made to increase our effici ency.” HE SAID recently instigated control center objectives include raising standards through im proved aproductivity by applica tion of proven industrial engineer ing techniques, insuring efficient work control at installation, ob taining maximum practical re turn for resources and relieving maintenance supervisors of ad ministrative details. Haugen credits Coy E. McCol lum, custodial services chief, and numerous improved methods for A&M’s “cleaner than clean” rec ord. Increased productivity has come through putting custodial workers in distinctive uniforms to a con stant materials testing program to equipping them with modern tools, such as a telescoping win dow washing device that allows fourth floor glass to be cleaned from ground level. THE CUSTODIAL workers’ principal concern is floor space in academic and general purpose buildings equivalent to 52 football fields. McCollum’s forces must deal with the idiosyncrasies of nine different floor surfaces — tile, cork, vinyl asbestos, asphalt, straight vinyl, terrazo, marble, concrete and wood. Each requires a specific type of care, so the section is organized into special crews of 16 to 20 per sons. Expertise required includes knowing the correct type of wax to use, stripping the surface and patching into previous waxings in heavy-traffic areas. Haugen said 16,000 man-hours a day go into chasing mechanized scrubbers, floor polishers, brooms and cleaning materials. The 200- person work force accounts for 90 per cent of the department’s clean ing budget. NEW CUSTODIAL personnel receive formal instruction twice a week when first employed. Fore men, who carry two-way radios for coordination, Send additional workers they feel will benefit from classroom instruction. Mounted fixtures, other training aids and films are used.
