Wives Enroll In Workshop Course Wives of students and faculty members in Texas A&M’s Indus trial Education Department are getting 1 first-hand experience in their husbands’ work. The ferns—15 of them—are en rolled in a Saturday non-credit course in industrial graphics. “It’s sort of a Christmas workshop,” pointed out Dick Jackson, the volunteer instructor. “The wives are making person alized Christmas cards, stationery and letters.” “Our objective,” he explained, “is to give the wives a little more insight into what their husbands do. Most of them are involved in other wives’ organizations, but they don’t usually make things.” “Most of the women are al ready acquainted with each other,” Jackson continued. “This is something they decided they wanted to do. They have no knowledge of any of the pera- tions. You might say they are getting a total education in graphic arts.” Jackson said operations include printing, making offset printing- plates, handsetting type for let terpress printing, and actual op eration of letterpress and offset presses. “A real fun part of the work is washing the presses,” Jackson chuckled. “The women caught on to this pretty quickly. They plan two or three press runs in a row before washing the presses.” Mrs. Clint Bertrand and Mrs. Michael Seal are making Christ mas cards via a block printing process similar to engraving. They cut away part of the linole um mounted on a plywood base. The results produce unique, origi nal designs. Injecting humor into the buzz ing classwork, Mrs. Seal com mented, “Why did the ladies take up graphic arts?” “To get away from the kids . . . no, not really,” she laughed. Mrs. Nina Grannis said she be came interested in the class “be cause it is something related with Christmas.” James Hartman inspired his cutting stencils for silkscreen wife to make silkscreen Christ- Wreward Wrangler!

He has a master’s degree from San Diego and a bachelor’s from the Uni versity of Minnesota. “There’s a great future for women in industrial education,” he noted. “Industrial arts are be coming more widespread in ele mentary schools, but enrollment in this area in secondary schools is almost 100 per cent boys.” Jackson says he thinks it would be helpful if boys would take home economics and girls enroll in industrial education. “They could learn things which would be helpful throughout life,” he remarked. A boost for Jackson’s Saturday class came from his wife, Hartha, who encouraged him to develop it. Jackson got the green light from Dr. Everett Glazener, the depart ment head, and the wives took it from there. The class is much like home to the wives. They can dress in formally in slacks and there are plenty of aprons available. THE BATTALION Page 4 College Station, Texas Thursday, November 9, E| Job Calls Foreign Students Like Agriculture CHRISTMAS PROJECT Mrs. Michael Seal, whose husband is a graduate student in industrial education, locks a form holding her design for a Christmas card. She’s among 15 wives of industrial education students and faculty members working on in dustrial graphics projects at Texas A&M University. Over 40 percent of all the for eign students registered at Texas A&M are enrolled in the College of Agriculture. Figures released by Robert L. Melcher, International Programs Office, show that the 577 stu dents, graduate and undergradu ate, represent 61 countries from A to V . . . Arabia to Venezuela. The Dominican Republic, Paki stan and Tunisia have the great est number of students enrolled in agriculture. Sixty-six of the 73 Dominicans, 30 of the 50 Paki stanis and 19 of the 26 Tunisians are enrolled in the College of Agriculture. Dr. R. C. Potts, assistant dean of agriculture, explained Texas A&M University has contracts with the Agency for International Development in the three coun tries mentioned above. He point ed out that agriculture is a major part of their economy. The Dominican Republic has no steel, oil or coal but it has other good natural resoujees—soil and water. But out of 3!/> million people, not more than 20 have a Bachelor of Science degree or its equivalent in agriculture. Potts said Texas A&M’s contract with the Dominican Republic through AID calls for research and edu cation in the field of agriculture. “Texas A&M’s College of Agri culture has always had a good reputation throughout the world in the field of agriculture,” Potts said. ‘Beautify Texas’ Say Agencies TODAY Goodrich-Gulf Chemicals, Inc.: Chemical Engineering (B,M), Chemistry (B,M,D), Electrical Engineering (B), Mechanical En gineering (B).

Iranians Set First Tea ODESSA. (A*) — With freedom goes responsibility, Lt. Gov. Pres ton Smith told the Odessa Scot tish Rite Association and De- Molay Chapter Wednesday night. “To the draft card burners and the hate mongers of every stripe who scream with voices of venom while hiding behind Americans’ freedoms, let me warn you that freedom and responsibility go hand in hand,” Smith said. “You cannot have freedom without re sponsibility. Nor can you main tain without an honest love of America and the cherished prin ciples which have directed her destiny for these many, many years. “So, those who preach civil disobedience and engage in a distorted practice of freedom by breaking laws, should know that they are tying their own noose. They are violating the very thing they rely on for protection—the law,” he said. Smith will address the first state convention of the Texas Fertilizer Association at 11:30 a.m. Thursday in Lubbock.

Passage of the amendment would allow non-elective state officers and employees to sene in other non-elective state aui federal positions. Specifically, the amendment would permit faculty members from state colleges and univer sities, such as Texas A&M, to accept invitations to serve on non- paying federal and state advisor) boards, explained Rex Bailey, chairman of the chamber’s Public Affairs Committee. Bailey, also a member of th( statewide Citizen’s Committee for Amendment 6, said many of these advisory boards control allocation of large research and develop ment grants and are often instru mental in determining location of federal facilities. Texas, he added, is one of the few states prohibiting service on these boards. “The state is at a distinct dis advantage in obtaining federal funds and facilities because of its lack of representation,” Bailey stressed.
