If you are being
commissioned
You may want to join
the Bank of A&M’s
World-Wide program.
When you go on active duty, your banking
requirements will change dramatically.
You’re going to move around the world.
Your need for credit and for cash will be
quite different from your classmates who
return to their hometown to work and live.
And the penalties for record keeping er
rors are more severe for military officers
than most (if not all) other professions.
The World-Wide Department of the Bank of A&M was conceived to meet the needs of A&M
officers on active duty. The department is staffed by Aggies with first hand experience of TDY,
overseas movement, car financing in a foreign city, check-cashing problems at a military
installation, allotments, telephone transfers, etc.
The World-Wide program includes all the features of the so-called “military banks”: direct
paycheck deposit, telephone loan service, write your own loan program, overseas car financ
ing, automatic transfers from checking to savings (and visa versa), credit cards, overdraft
protection . . . plus personal service by senior bank officers with career military experience
and Aggie know-how.
Visit the Bank of A&M today (or some day of convenience) before your commissioning date to
learn how the Bank of A&M’s World-Wide Department can be of service to you.

familiar with, knowing that they can
get out of it if it turns out to be too
much for them,” she said.
John Gudelman, assistant direc
tor of placement for Texas A&M,
said the question of inaccurate
G.P.R.s has not been a concern for
recruiters who use the Placement
Office as a means for interviewing
potential graduates.
“Recruiters generally use the
grade point ratio in conjunction with
other factors. Most companies aren’t
overly influenced by the G.P.R. by
itself,” he said.
G.P.R.s, like the economy, may
be inflated at some schools, but the
quality of the students and the
products being marketed today are
of a higher quality than ever before.
This analogy was used by Dr.
John E. Pearson, dean of the Col
lege of Business Administration.
Pearson said his observation is
that businesses and graduate schools
are placing a great deal of empb
on G. P. R. s as a factor in hiring
admissions.
“Today, a student with a3.0i
prepared as a student ten years
who had an overall 3.5. Were;!
this, but it is hard to convince
cruiters that this is true,”
Pearson said the higher qualilv
faculty and curriculum at Ir
A&M are results of studentsti
working harder for grades.
“Employers are getting a ha
bargain now in their Ag
graduates than they did in the
I don’t think that there is ai|

quality of students in the past
years and this is hard to mi
