Co-op Plan Features Alternate
Semesters of Work, Study
The Co-op program is a
work- s tudy program for
engineering and math
m a j ors in which students
alternate bet ween one
semester of college work
and one semester of work
in industry.
Students who have com-
pleted their first year with
a 1.5 grade average are
eligible to apply for admis-
sion.
Herman Schnider, dean of
e n gineering, at Cincinnati
University began the first
Co-op program in 1906.
Schnider believed it is a
good thing for a man to
"sweat his way" toward the
truth.
Dr.R. P. Ramirez, asso-
ciate professor of mechan-
ical engineering, is
director of Lamar's Co-
op program.
"A student that goes
through this program is not
only e due ate d but also
is trained at the time of his
graduation," said Dr.
Ramirez.
Dr. Ramirez believes that
a student in the Co-op
program learns more in
every way; in education,
public relations, self-
reliance, and maturity,
things that cannot be taught
in the classroom.
The observation of Dr.
Ramirez on students in
this program is thatwhen
they come back to school
after one session, they
Meal Management

given by students of
the meal management
class and sponsored D'
Harp, director.

of the library and office

students then put all their an idea of how much he
efforts into that direction,
stated Dr. Ramirez.
Industries are now be
coming more aware of the
benefits accured to them
in hiring students in this
program, and Dr. Ramirez
thinks that the program is
beginning to grow in pop-
u 1 a rity with both students
and industries.
There are now 17 students
active in the program and
3 0 more have passed the
requirements to enter.
George Miller, junior
electrical engineering
ma j or and member of the
Co-op Program is em-
ployed by NASA in Houston
during his working semes-
ter. He agrees with Dr.
Ramirez that the high
s a 1 a r ies paid to students
are not the prime motiva-
tion for entering the Co-op
Program.
"The Co-op prepares
you for the atmosphere
that you find when you
begin working. Through
this program, I have a
broader view of how the
courses I am now taking
will effect my working
ability after graduation,
said Miller.
Miller believes working
experience in a student's
major before graduation
helps to determine whether
doesn’t know. Miller listed
incentiveand more respect
for his teachers as fringe
benefits he has received.
Other divi sion winners
will be awarded $25 each.
