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-

mas cards.
“Jim made our cards last year,”
Mrs. Hartman smiled. “I wanted
to show him I could make them
this time.”
The instructor, Jackson, is a
graduate assistant in industrial
education while working on a
doctorate in education. 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.

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.

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.
His speech is entitled “Tooting
the Horn of Plenty.”

Commerce officials have issue:
a reminder that Saturday is ek

Polls will be open from 8 a.it
until 7 p.m. at 19 location
throughout Brazos County, thtj
pointed out.
While taking no official stau
on the five other amendments ot
the Saturday ballot, the chamlw
publicly endorsed Amendment f
and urges area citizens to vote
for it.
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.
