Texas A&M staff personnel who conduct maintenance, con struction, mechanical and custodi al work for the university had only six lost-time injuries during 5 J-4515 r PARDNER Imaji 01/s/”, You’ll Always Win The Showdown When You Get Your Duds Done At CAMPUS CLEANERS the 1966-67 fiscal year, announced Walter H. Parsons Jr., Physical Plant director. Safety programs at the fore man and employe level are re sponsible for the safety mark, according to Robert A. Jenkins, planning engineer for the depart ment. “Continued central assistance to foremen, safety meetings and equipping our people with person al protection gear will reduce the figure even further,” Jenkins commented. An accident analysis report, compiled by John L. Fritz of the Safety Department, revealed that the highest percentage of acci dents resulted in scratches and abrasions and occurred primarily among plumbing, grounds main tenance and custodial workers.

While the report indicates 16 more accidents in the fiscal year than the previous calendar year, Jenkins noted that the frequency rate was reduced a substantial 28 per cent and the severity rate (concerned with disabling acci dents) decreased 17 per cent.

Hard hats are worn by workers in areas where falling objects may be a hazard. We hope to instigate the use of gloves by certain personnel and the university can help cut our accident rate in this area,” Jen kins added. He said broken glass placed in trash cans is responsible for most custodian injuries. Jenkins sug gested that glass of any kind be discarded in large receptacles outside buildings. “These are handled by truck and do not require custodian contact,” he stated. “Our safety record is excellent compared to industry,” he went on. “The key to it is the foreman and employe. The foremen see that safety measures are applied to all jobs and that safety equip ment is used when required.” RV’s Named (Continued From Page 1) port; William R. Howell Jr., Breh- nam. Stephen A.

JC Writers Hear Speaker On Features More feature stories about people will make newspapers come alive, a University of Texas journalism professor told future journalists Monday at Texas A&M. “Whether we call the story a success article, a profile, a bi ography, a vignette, or a person ality sketch,” noted Dr. C. Richard King, “it still depends on details. By using bricks and mortar, we build a brick wall. By using anec dotes, linked together with proper transition devices, we can con struct a personality sketch.” King spoke at the two-day Texas Junior College Press Asso ciation Conference attended by 201 students and publications sponsors from 26 colleges. The speaker, who has sold more than 500 feature articles and a book, “Ghost Towns of Texas,” pointed to an Associated Press newspaper feature by Saul Pett about H. L. Hunt, one of the world’s wealthiest men. “He stressed details,” King ex plained. “Little things like Hunt carrying his lunch from home in a brown paper bag, parking his car three blocks from the office to save 50 cents in parking fees, using his own comb-trimmer on wispy, white hair, and that he flies commercial when he travels and is often irritated by food prices. “This story,” King continued, “is a good example of how a writer created a picture of the man by telling the little incidents about him—showing us that he has more money than most of us could count, yet he has his suit jackets repaired and turns off the lights at home.” King offered advice to the fledging junior college writers. “You feature writers can wave magic wands when you write,” he emphasized. “The nobody and the anybody in your school can be somebody if you make him so —if you will scrub off the ordin ary veneer that makes him drab, and through colorful anecdotes, lively dialogue, and crisp sensory expressions you present him to your readers.” ing ind the rse, ?, a :ol- mi- for ght ful, be- ;eel in- uld na, ind liat md in les ut- ler e’s of is- rst led ip- ild re :th man les (ir ini n- BATTALION CLASSIFIED nsh< ~'iapm£ ocks north of Weingartens at 811 S. tllege Avenue. 4'i Peed lot beef for .. your food locker me freezer.

Hollingsworth earlier had spoken to the Texas Junior Col lege Press Association in its convention here. Editor Stresses News Challenges The newspaper profession can offer any challenge “you are will ing to meet,” the Dallas Times Herald’s managing editor told aspiring journalists Monday at Texas A&M. “We need people with alert and inquisitive minds,” said Robert Hollingsworth, an 18-year veteran of the newspaper profession. “We need people with writing talent . . . people who are willing to begin at the beginning and willing to work.” Hollingsworth was the keynote speaker for the Texas Junior College Press Association’s an nual conference at A&M. Regis tration for the two-day meeting- hit 195 at mid-morning, including students and sponsors from 25 colleges. “YOU MUST have a consuming- love for this business, even to the point of almost total dedication,” he said. “It is a demanding mis tress, but one worthy of all the attention you can give it.” As a managing editor, Hollings worth said he is concerned about the questions he is never asked by applicants seeking newspaper jobs. “How can I get ahead ? What do I have to do to prove my value to this newspaper? How can I show I am capable and that I can become more so? What will I be expected to learn to make myself a better newspaperman?” “THESE PEOPLE will get jobs —if for no other reason that there are more jobs available than persons to fill them,” he continued. “They will try to find out how late they can come to work without getting gloriously chewed out by some hard-boiled editor. “Newspapers need good men and women—people versed in gov ernment, politics, education, sci ence, military affairs, medicine, religion, the arts and a host of other fields,” Hollingsworth em phasized. “But if you don’t have love and dedication for this busi ness, it may be just as well if you go into some other field of endeavor.” Wick Fowler, Austin public re lations counselor, will address the TJCPA banquet tonight. Tues day’s sessions includes newspaper and yearbook critiques and an awards luncheon. Annual Parade Plans Aired By Chairman The annual Christmas parade sponsored by the Bryan-College Station Chamber of Commerce has been set for 10 a.m., Satur day, Dec. 2. Jesse Stanfield, chairman of the chamber’s Christmas Parade Committee, is predicting a bigger and better parade than ever be fore. One of the reasons for the optimistic outlook is the switch from an evening to a daylight schedule. “Since many of the people who participate in, or view, this pa rade drive considerable distances, a daytime parade is more desir able,” Stanfield noted. Approxi mately 25,000 persons view the parade each year, with partici pants and spectators coming from up to 150 miles. Stanfield urged interested per sons to begin preparing floats for entry in the parade. Rules and entry forms may be obtained from the chamber office. Area bands and drill teams will be mailed sets of entry forms, rules and regulations within the next few days, the chairman added. Another Christmas project sponsored by the chamber is the Santa letter contest, open to children seven years of age and younger.
