Lamar's Four-Year
Plan Applied to You
Next year Lamar State College
of Technology will have become
a reality.
For the students who plan to
attend Lamar for the full four
years in search of their degrees
it might be feasible to enumerate
the proposed major objectives of
our infant school and the courses
and degrees offered.
There are five major objectives
to which Lamar Tech will aspire.
They are:
To offer courses leading to the
Bachelor of Science degree in
various fields of engineering,
science, management, health, and
homemaking.
To offer terminal courses of
less than four years duration
leading directly to employment
in various vocational, technical,
and businness fields.
To offer two years of pre-pro-
iessTonaL training in various
fields which may be transferred
without loss of credit to other
colleges and universities.
To offer courses in general ed-
ucation which will serve to pre-
pare young men and women for
the responsibilities of citizenship
in a free society.
To offer courses and programs
Artcraft to Make Photographs
For Student Section of Annual
on an evening school basis to
meet the needs of adults.
Only the Bachelor of Science
degree will be offered. Degrees
are forthcoming in Chemical En-
gineering, Mechanical Engineer-
ing, Electrical Engineering, In-
dustrial Engineering, and pos-
sibly Civil Engineering if the de-
I mand is sufficient.
A B.S. in Home Economics is
| offered with majors permitted in
the Foods, Clothing, Interior dec-
orating, and Design fields.
The fields of Chemistry, Geol-
ogy, and Medical Technology
will offer degrees, as will the
Health and Physical Education
| department.
Finally, a B.S. in Business Ad-
ministration with majors in Ac-
counting, Secretarial Science, and
General Business is forthcoming.
Other courses which have been
offered in the-past are likely to
be continued but no degrees in
Foreign Languages, Music, Eng-
lish, Social Sciences, and other
humanities will be offered.
Many sophomores of this year
look forward to finishing their
college work at Lamar and be-
coming members of the first
graduating class of Lamar State
College of Technology.
Artcraft studio, photographers
for the class sections of the 1951
Cardinal, student annual, will be-
gin making individual portraits
Monday morning, October 2,
Editor Martha Hutchinson has
announced.
The photographer will spend
two weeks on the campus shoot-
ing approximately 40 students
each day. “We w'ant to take our
time and make sure that the best
portraits possible are obtained,”
according to M. W. Vinock, own-
er of the studio.
Four poses of each student will
be made, Mr. Vinock said, and
the cost per student will be SI
each. Students will choose the
pose they like best for use in the
annual.
“Additional prints will be
available if students desire them,”
Mr. Vinock said, “but we will not
put on a high-powered sales cam-
paign to try and make students
buy something they don’t want.”
Students’ pictures will be made
on a last name alphabetical basis,
according to the following sched-
ule:
AB—Monday, October 2.
CD—Tuesday, October 3.
EFG—Wednesday, October 4.
HIJK—Thursday, October 5.
LM—Friday, October 6.
McNOP—Monday, October 9.
QRS—Tuesday, October 10.
TUV—Wednesday, October 11.
WXYZ—Thursday, October 12.
Overflow—Friday, October 13.
Students are urged to make it
a point to have their pictures
made on the date set aside for
them since a congested Friday
will result otherwise.
Faculty and members of the
administration and staff may
have their portraits made at any
convenient time during the two-
week period.
Clubs and other student organi-
zations will have group pictures
made in mid-October, Miss
Hutchinson said, as soon as they
have had ample time to organize
fully and receive all new mem-

Librarian
Announces
Schedule
Miss Julia Plummer, librarian
of Lamar College,' has announced
that during the ensuing school
term the library will be open
from 8:00 A.M. until 4:30 P.M.
Monday through •'Friday. Under
the new schedule students may
work in the library Monday and
Thursday nights, six to nine
o’clock.
The night openings are provid-
ed primarily for the convenience
of night school students; however
Miss Plummer adds that day
school students are also welcomed
and urged to make use of the li-
brary’s facilities and quiet atmos-
phere on these two nights.
There is no specified limit as
to the number of books which
may be borrowed, but Miss Plum-
mer emphasizes the importance
of returning all books in order to
maintain a clear record and thus
prevent delays and complications
later.
It is suggested that students
watch the display section under
the bulletin board where new
books and others selected for par-
ticular appeal to college students
are exhibited. A number of new
books have been added to the li-
brary, Miss Plummer reports.
Several technical magazines not
subscribed to before will be avail-
able this year as a preparation
for the technical courses to be
offered under Lamar’s forthcom-
ing four-year system.

STUDENTS PROFIT
USING BOOKSTORE
It pays to know, students, about
the Bookstore the college operates
for your convenience.
This non-profit store is strictly
to help the student and Is fur-
nished with all the necessary sup-
plies that the students need for
classes at a minimum cost.
Students have the advantage of
being able to sell used books to
the bookstore at 60% of what was
paid for them, providing the
books are in good condition and
if they are to be used the follow-
ing year.
It is now required for a receipt
number to be kept in your books
so that the duplicate can be
looked up when returned. This
enables the student to prove his
ownership of his book.
Novelties are also available,
such as tee-shirts, jewelry, sta-
tionery, and stuffed animals, all
with Lamar emblem on them.
When Mrs. Lillian Garner,
who has been manager of the
bookstore since June, 1949j was
asked her opinion on her work,
she answered by saying, “It
proves to be very interesting be-
cause there’s never a dull mo-
ment; I enjoy every minute of it
since I’m working with the stu-
dents all the time.”
Mrs. Edwena York managed
the Bookstore during the summer
and will continue to help out
during the first semester of
school.
bers to be taken in during the
semester.
Because the college's photogra-
phy department is not completely
equipped for handling pictures of
large groups, clubs and organiza-
tions will be asked to pay $5 per
group for the page carrying their
picture. A commercial photogra-
pher will be engaged to make
club pictures.
Miss Hutchinson said that only
those clubs which are officially
recognized by the administration
and have turned in membership
lists to the Administrative Assist-
ant will be included in the an-
nual.
A schedule for club pictures
will be announced in the near
future.
Miss Hutchinson has requested
that all students turn in snap-
shots for the annual. Snapshots
and campus activities will be
featured this year.
CONSTRUCTION
PROGRESSES
Construction on the Lamar
campus is proceding smoothly
and rapidly. The work has been
helped so far by unusually favor-
able weather so that expectations
of finishing the project by next
July 1 remain high.
The new homes of President
John Gray and of Superintendent
Morris Pugh have already been
completed and are now occupied.
Work is beginning on the foun-
dations of the new engineering
and home economics buildings
under the supervision of Farns-
worth and Chambers, Inc., of
Houston.
According to Dr. Gray the Su-
perintendent on the job has been
“pushing the work along in good
shape.” Should the work be com-
pleted by July 1 as planned, the
months of July and August will
be available to move in equip-
ment and supplies.
Kollege Klub Sets
Annual Rush Week
The Kollege Klub held its first
meeting of the new school year
Tuesday, Sept. 19. Plans were
made for rush week which will
begin Sept. 25, and a rush party
was planned for the week-end
preceding rush week.
Definite plans were made for
making this year’s club one of
the best in history. Members who
attended Tuesday night’s meeting
were Mickey Knobloch, Charles
Westmoreland, Bubby Brocato,
Danny Bares, James Hood, Eric
MacEwan, A1 T. Underwood,
