my degree?"
If your degree is iri Liberal Arts, Engineering, the Sciences,
or Business Administration, you may very well find your
route for advancement at IBM. The marketing and appli-
cation of computers offer opportunity to new graduates in
a variety of ways.
At IBM, Data Processing Systems Engineers study the best
ways to solve customer problems. They find the best
methods and select the best equipment to handle each
type of problem. If your college experience has taught you
to organize information and approach a problem system-
atically, see IBM.
An IBM Data Processing Representative shows customer
executives how IBM can help business become more effi-
cient. In selling to business, industry, government, or
defense, you use your own initiative and individuality. Ad-
vancement comes as you develop skills acquired in college.
Thorough initial training will teach you the techniques of
data processing and marketing computers. If you are look-
ing for opportunities to grow, join IBM. Your placement
office can give you our literature —or make an appoint-
ment with our interviewers. IBM is an Equal Opportunity

Baker Form Series
Lawson Taitte, chairman of
Baker cultural activities, said
the concept of a "form series"
was "to show how the idea of
form as abstraction or structure
is inescapable in any endeavor
of the human mind." He pointed
out also that Baker had activ-
ities outsade the series.
In conjunction with the ap-
pearance on campus of Profes-
sor Allen Tate, American poet
and author, in the President's
Lecture Series, Baker will spon-
sor lectures on March 9, 11, and
17 about his work. Professor
Tate will read some of his
poetry in the Commons on
March 21.
"Waiting for Godot" is also
being produced at Baker for
presentation late this month;
the art of Mi*, and Mrs. Jasper
Rose, Charles Schorre, and
Elinor Evans will be exhibited
in April; and Professor Charles
Thompson will deliver a lecture
on Rice's role in the Chilean
Low-Cost Housing Project.
Symposium Planned
Hanszen College will concen-
trate its efforts on a two-day
Spring Symposium, according
to Richard Best, chairman of the
program committee.
Paul Goodman, author of
"Growing Up Absurd" and
"Compulsory M i s-Education,"
will be the guest of the Col-
lege on March 18 and 19. He
is expected to deliver a lecture
and be available during the
symposium for conferences and
discussions with students.
"He was selected," said Best,
"because he has written per-
ceptivly and intelligently on the
crisis in American education to-
day at every level. He's a
novelist, a political commenta-
tor, literary critic, and one of
the more prolific American in-
tellectuals."
Mr. Goodman's latest writings
have concerned the recent Berk-
eley riots, [see page three]
Sunday Musicals

The Jones College speaker
program is not as definitely
structured asi the program in
the men's colleges, reported
Cynthia Fraser, Jones social
vice-president. "Ours are more
informal."
She mentioned the Jones
tradition of inviting distinguish-
ed guests to the college for tea.

Rice departments in bringing
speakers on campus.

manship of, Dr. Clark Read of

said Charles Upton, vice-presi-
dent of the college.

will interest everybody," said

up thought on campus."

near future include a study of
pornography in literature with
special emphasis on "Candy,"
