Hielscher, associate-profes- sor in the engineering drawing de- partment, will work with junior colleges in handling the problems of transfer students in engineer- ing^ it was announced today by Howard Barlow, dean of engineer- ing, The appointment was made by President F. C. Bolton. It is imperative that the school cooperate closely with the junior colleges in rendering assistance to ybung men who are transferring to A&M for senior college work, Barlow said. The rapid growth of junior col- leges in Texas has made it pos- sible in Texas for many young men to attend college for the first two years in their own community. It is necessary that senior colleges render assistance in simplifying the problem of later transferring for senior college work, Barlow continued. In addition to asking for assis- tance with the problem of the transfer student, many junior col- leges are requesting assistance in vocational courses of terminal na- ture as well as in courses which are accepted at A&M^for transfer. Hielscher has had a broad ex- perience in teaching the engineer- ing courses which are required for beginners. He has taught in the mechanical engineering and { engi- neering drawing departments and has helped in handling the problems of transfer students in the Regis- trars Office, Dean Barlow con- MMl. .

Austin High School auditorium making its initial bow to Brazos County the- atre-goers. The show will again be produced in Bryan tonight and at Guion Hall, Oct. 1, . ! Competing with a circus for at- traction of show seekers, the fan- tasy played before a small but ap- preciative crowd. This writer not- ed with interest the critical, good tastes of the audience as evidenced by the amount 6f applause at cer- tain portions of the production. ; Pasting including every person- ality group from junior high youngsters to the mayor of Bryan, Roland Dansby, the show was ac- tually a revue with somewhat of a plot underlying the whole affair. The plot concerns a Professor Fur- berlapper, played by John Stiles, who gets kicked out of a university because of various radical ideas which the faculty can't swallow. Alter a safari to darkest Africa Furberlap ^ glimpses of the threes adventures intermingled with numerous spe- cialty numbers. i It was these specialty pieces, particularly in the last act, that drew the loudest and longest ap- plause. Noteworthy among them was Maxine Wiles, an Australian- born, comic singer and mimic, who took honors for the night) with heb bleeding-heart ballads and her mi- mic of Lou Costello. Born in Ade- laide, Australia, she did some work in vaudeville and radio before com- ing to America qfter having mar- ried an American flyer. Though she has been in the states for 2% years she has lived in Texas only since last July. Her present am- bition is to enter into the revival of vaudeville. Virginia Eatill pleased the au- dience with kta dear strong voice, singing both semi-classical and semi-popular numbers. Her down-to-the-lights stage pres- ence was appreciated. The dignified touch was felt of Lois Thompsons singing which was high soprani land sweet and dear.

After several members of the class had voiced their opinions, the class agreed that the student body should gather in front of the Aca- demic Building for the ceremony.

Appointed To New Position

C. N. Hielscher, associate-profes­sor in the engineering drawing de­partment, will work with junior colleges in handling the problems of transfer students in engineer­ing^ it was announced today by Howard Barlow, dean of engineer­ing,

The appointment was made by President F. C. Bolton.

It is imperative that the school cooperate closely with the junior colleges in rendering assistance to ybung men who are transferring to A&M for senior college work, Barlow said.

The rapid growth of junior col­leges in Texas has made it pos­sible in Texas for many young men to attend college for the first two years in their own community. It is necessary that senior colleges render assistance in simplifying the problem of later transferring for senior college work, Barlow continued.

In addition to asking for assis­tance with the problem of the transfer student, many junior col­leges are requesting assistance in vocational courses of terminal na­ture as well as in courses which are accepted at A&M^for transfer.

Hielscher has had a broad ex­perience in teaching the engineer­ing courses which are required for beginners. He has taught in the mechanical engineering and { engi­neering drawing departments and has helped in handling the problems of transfer students in the Regis­trar’s Office, Dean Barlow con- MMl. .

A motion that the Senior Class donate wooden panelling to the senate chamber of the Memorial Student Center as its claaa giftwent down; to defeat last night.7 m ’ :

The class of ’50, meeting for the first time this year, turned down a proposal; by Bob Byingtoh, class president, that the dass consider the wooden panelling as its gift to the college. ' ■

The question of a class gift head­ed an agenda which included seat­ing for seniors at Kyle Field, uni- Rmg Dance arrangement, and uni­form corps conduct for Silver Taps ceremonies.

the Assembly Hall by suggesting the class consider panelling the senate chamber of the student cen­ter as its gift He reported a conversation with Wayne Stjark, di­rector of the center, id which Word said.

By EMIL BUNJES, JR.| l.Starring three outstanding sing^

ers, the infant Bryan Little The­atre presented “Africantasia” last night in the Stephen F. Austin High School auditorium making its initial bow to Brazos County the­atre-goers. The show will again be produced in Bryan tonight and at Guion Hall, Oct. 1,. !

Competing with a circus for at­traction of show seekers, the fan­tasy played before a small but ap­preciative crowd. This writer not­ed with interest the critical, good tastes of the audience as evidenced by the amount 6f applause at cer­tain portions of the production.

; Pasting including every person­ality group from junior high youngsters to the mayor of Bryan, Roland Dansby, the show was ac­tually a revue with somewhat of a plot underlying the whole affair. The plot concerns a Professor Fur- berlapper, played by John Stiles, who gets kicked out of a university because of various radical ideas which the faculty can't swallow.

glimpses of the three’s adventures intermingled with numerous spe­cialty numbers.

i It was these specialty pieces, particularly in the last act, that drew the loudest and longest ap­plause. Noteworthy among them was Maxine Wiles, an Australian- born, comic singer and mimic, who took honors for the night) with heb bleeding-heart ballads and her mi­mic of Lou Costello. Born in Ade­laide, Australia, she did some work in vaudeville and radio before com­ing to America qfter having mar­ried an American flyer. Though she has been in the states for 2% years she has lived in Texas only since last July. Her present am­bition is to enter into the revival of vaudeville.

Virginia Eatill pleased the au­dience with kta dear strong voice, singing both semi-classical and semi-popular numbers. Her down-to-the-lights stage pres­ence was appreciated.The dignified touch was felt of

Lois Thompson’s singing which was high soprani land sweet and dear. Melodies from Desert Song were in her repertoire. -

the St. Andrews Church helped construct the organization and is now the director of the theatre. The theatre has the endorsement of several Bryan-College Station busi ness men including the Bryan Chamber of Commerce.

“The most important idea of the production,” Mrs. Kressly, wife of the director said, “is the good attained within the hearts of the cast in the form of inspi­ration and fun, and not the pro­duction itself.”One of the objects of the show­

ing of “Africantasia” is to deter­mine if the Bryan populus wants a permanent theatre group.

“We could probably have a better band for the dance if we could eli­minate the need for having two dances,” he added. Word conclud­ed by saying that the dance had been scheduled for May 19.

The class gave a vote of confi­dence to Word for his efforts to select an orchestra.

Silver TapsWalt Zimmerman, corps execu­

tive officer, discussed with the class the need for a standard code ef conduct for SilVer Taps ceremonies.

After several members of the class had voiced their opinions, the class agreed that the student body should gather in front of the Aca­demic Building for the ceremony.

The area bounded by the side­walks leading from the Academic- Building Ur the Civil Engineering Building and to the Electrical En­gineering Building was designated for all Silver Taps gatherings. Or­ganizational commanders were ask­ed to advise all cadets of the tra-

Members of the committee are Ted Pitzer, Jack Happy, Phil Park­er, Ed Luckemeyer, Allen Landry, and E. N. Roots Jr.

The subject of corps representa­tion in the student senate was brought up, but no action was tak­en by the class.
