Placement
prospects
brighter
at TAMU
College placement officials are
supposed to be hearing some
gloomy reports in Washington this
week at their national convention,
reports CBS News.
But one, Louis Van Pelt of Texas
A&M University, may have reason
to think job prospects for graduates
are a lot brighter at his school.
During this past year, when many
companies were slicing schools off
their recruitment lists, TAMU was
an exception. More, not fewer, bus
iness recruiters are coming to Texas
A&M.
Recruiting activity was up, with
recruiters still scheduling stops at
TAMU in April, an unusual situa
tion. And there were fewer cancel
lations than in the past with all ex
cept a few of those firms cancelling
opting for a later date.
“Employers in general seem well
pleased by the Texas A&M
graduate,” relates Van Pelt, place
ment director, and Malon Souther
land, educational placement coor
dinator.
The teacher graduating from
TAMU also seems to have a better
chance of finding a job, despite the
widely-publicized teacher surplus,
noted Southerland. The Texas situa
tion is better than the national aver
age and Texas A&M’s situation is
slightly better than the overall state
picture.
Recruiters are looking for
women, too, and Texas A&M can
provide. Rising from an all-male
school just over 10 years ago,
TAMU now has one of the largest
coed populations in the state. Over
all, the women have a higher grade
point radio than the average for the
entire student body.
The school’s reputation has even
prompted some recruiters to sign
up juniors for summer jobs in hopes
they will accept a position when
they graduate.
When recruiters come to Texas
A&M, they often try to fill a number
of positions while on campus. Ag
gies working for Exxon, now the
largest U.S. corporation, out
number graduates from any other
school in the firm, as an example.

Now a new way
to save money at FedMart
U.S.D.A. Inspected
CALF
It’s lean! It’s nutritious! It costs a lot less than beef.
The price of beef is very high again. But now you can do something
about it. Serve your family FedMart’s U.S.D.A. Inspected Calf. Check
our prices below and you’ll find that Calf costs you substantially less
than heavy beef, especially at FedMart’s low prices. It’s a great way
to give your food budget a lift.
FedMart’s Calf is about eight months old. It’s younger and leaner
than mature, heavy beef with a greater proportion of tissue and less
fat. Your family will like it and you’ll like the savings. And because
Calf is primarily grass-fed, it makes more grain available to help feed
the world’s hungry.
Of course, FedMart continues to offer you U.S.D.A. Choice beef at lower prices than you’d find elsewhere.

Researchers
report study
near completion
Texas A&M University resear
chers and scientists reported from
here Tuesday that their project to
map oil lands on the floor of the
Texas Gulf of Mexico by submarine
is 60 percent completed and ahead
of schedule.
Dr. Tom Bright of the Depart
ment of Oceanography reported
four submarine dive days com
pleted with the “Diaphus” survey
ing three fishing banks near Corpus
Christi (Baker, South Baker, and
Southern).
The total survey will include
areas from Galveston to Corpus
Christi. The Bureau of Land Man
agement has hired A&M scientists
to map offshore red snapper and
fishing banks located in areas of
fered for auction to oil companies.
The results of the cruise will he
reported to the Bureau of Land
Management for use in regulating
oil and gas drilling in the vicinity of
the banks.
“Things went quite well. Bright
said. “The top of the banks are in
clear water. Of interest to us was the
attached epifauna of sponges, sea-
ships, seafans, thorny oysters,
orinoids, and a few species of reef
fish and numerous snappers and
groupers.
“The majority of life is on the
peaks of the banks,” he observed.
“So far we’ve seen no evidence of
damage by man apart from an occa
sional anchor.”
The next leg of the cruise will
begin at 10 a.in., June 6 and will last
for about 12 days. They will be
mapping “Dream” and "Big Adam”
banks about 30 miles south of Cor
pus Christi.
The project is scheduled to wind
up with a survey of the East Flower
Garden Reef off Galveston if the
good weather holds.
Conroe site
yields 4,000
year old data
Members of the Texas A&M Uni
versity archaeological team have
unearthed material near Lake Con
roe which is at least 3,000-4,000
years old.
The material, some of the oldest
to come out of the immediate area,
was recovered after the TAMU re
searchers were called in to survey
two areas that the National Forest
Service of Texas was considering for
recreational development.
The findings are older than previ
ous material unearthed when the
lake was constructed.
Park service planners were aim
ing for parking lots and boat ramps
at the area of the sites. The team
mapped and recorded the sites of
the irreplaceable finds and con
struction may now proceed without
fear of scientific loss.
