College Town Hall
195 Seniors Make Plans
Will Be March 22
The annual College Town
Hall will be presented at
Lamar Tech auditorium at
10 a.m. on March 22.
The purpose of the pro-
gram is to bring students
and business leaders to-
gether for a frank discus-
sion period. Dean Richard
Setzer of the School of Bus-
iness said "no speeches
will be made, but questions
and answers will cover
many fields of student in-
terest."
This year's Town Hall is
being sponsored by the
Texas Manufacturers As-
sociation and is brought to
the campus by the Lamar
Tech Business Council
which is made up of all the
clubs and organizations in
the School of Business. The
Council is under the gui-
dance of Dr. Setzer.
Prominent business men
from Texas cities and sur-
rounding areas will ans-
wer questions of impor-
tance pertaining to current
business problems and
will offer suggestions for
their solution.
The meeting, although
sponsored by the School of
Business, is not restricted
to the interest of business
students. A great deal will
be discussedthatwillbe of
utmost importance to stu-
dents in all fields of study.
One of the prime points
of discuss ion is always
what is necessary in your
educational b a c k g r o und
upon seeking jobs and pro-
motions . This is one of the
many points in which the
speakers will cover many
areas besides those of the
business school .Engineer-
ing always comes into im-
portance in these discus-
sions .
Speakers for the annual
College Town Hall will in-
clude T.W. Benham, presi-
dent, Benham & Co., Inc.,
Mineola; George W. Laf-
ferty, CPA, Cheatham-
Brady & Co., Houston; R.
F.McWhirter.vice presi-

ards, Sr., chairman of the
board, Hygeia Milk Pro-
ducts Co., Harlingen.
In addition to these out-
standing men, local bus-
iness men have been invi-
ted to attend.
A lot of fellers who com-
plain about the boss being
so dumb would be out of a
job if the boss were any
smarter.
We never permit our son
to do as he pleases. He
just does it without our
permission.
