In making the request, A&M has asked for authority to grant the bachelor and master of science degrees in forestry and to estab lish a Department of Forest Science. Dean of Agriculture Dr. H. O. Kunkel said the Department of Forest Science would be the fourth department in the School of Natural Biosciences within the College of Agriculture. The de partments already in the school are Range Science, Recreation and Parks and Wildlife Science. A&M has a “long history in forestry education in addition to the significant contributions made in forestry research and Exten sion,” the dean pointed out. Cur rently, the PhD degree is offered in seven distinct areas of forestry science, and the research effort has been enlarged in support of the graduate program.

A small outfit, who hacked a good idea with advertising. Back in the ’50’s, a modest-sized com pany named Carter Products came up with something new: an aerosol push-button lather called RISE. They didn’t have much money for ad vertising—barely one-tenth of what the leading brushless shave cream was spending. But that was enough. RISE was a hit. Naturally, the big companies came back with their own aerosol brands. But the hot ter competition got, the more people tried RISE. Today, RISE sells over 15 times what it did in its first year—thanks largely to all this advertising. Maybe you, like Bill, think advertising favors big companies, raises prices, keeps unwanted products on the market. But ac tual cases prove just the opposite. Advertis ing helps lower prices (look at color TV). Promotes new ideas (like RISE). Gives us a choice. Helps imaginative smaller com panies compete (Volkswagen, for instance). Interested? Write us. We’ll gladly send you more facts about advertising. You’ll find they speak for themselves. In the meantime, keep an open mind.
