! craftsmanship and sales manage

OF special interest is the new
option in advertising journalism,
which was added to the market
ing curriculum this semester. The
purpose is to prepare a student
for a position in newspaper
/ management, as a publicity man,
or for work in the advertising
department of a business concern.
Professor c. H. Farnsworth,
head of the marketing depart
ment. states, Since the establish
ment of this curriculum there has
been an encouraging response
from students, editors, and direc-
tors of radio stations in the state
of Mississippi. Other courses IN
this particular field Will De given
as the need arises"
Another new journalism course
to be offered for the first time IN
the coming semester is editorial
writing, which is designed to give
serious students of journalism
practice in writing editorials,
columns, and opinionated articles.
Students in this course will have
superior writings published IN
various newspapers.
The current semester saw the
introduction of an entirely new
course in agriculture engineering.
Before this time students could
obtain a degree in agriculture
with a major in agricultural engi-
neering, taking two years OF ag-
riculture and two years OF engl-
neering work.
According to F. E. Edwards, as
sociate professor in agricultural
engineering "The new course
gives engineering first, with only
a few major coures in agricul-
ture. and will eventually lead to
a Bachelor of Science degree in
agricultural engineering"
The Engineering school on the
Mississippi State campus is fully
accredited in three branches, cleo
trical, civil, and mechanical, a
distinction not shared by many
engineering schools in the South.
"Fully accredited means that the
school has been examined by the
Engineers Council for Profession
al Development, and may grant
professional degrees in engineer
ing. The Engineers Council for
Professional development S a
group of professional Engineers
representing all branches OF the
national professional engineering
societies.
Chances in the engineering cur
riculum include two courses In
graduate work in the mechanical
engineering department, and a
change in the laboratory policy OF
the electrical engineering depart
ment. In the mechanical engineer
ing department the new graduate
courses are: research, which pro-

of agriculture. AS stated by Z. b.
CoImer, associate dean OF the
School of Agriculture, Demand
for more forestry information by
county agents and other public
agents in agriculture, and the in
creasing in forestry in the state
have made apparent the need for
a more inclusive course in fores-
try"
One of the greatest advances in
recent years has been in the de-
partment Of marketing of the
School of Business, which has ex-
banded in the last two years from
one general curriculum in mar
keting to its present status as the
largest single branch of the Bust
ness School. Under the general

ELECTIONS of things to come are we'll
REFLECTED in the scope OF new
courses to be offered during the
Forthcoming semester at Missis-
sippi State college. In addition to
the new degree in agricultural
engineering, it is now possible
COR the first time to receive a
degree in agriculture with a
major in forestry.
Mississippi State college is the
first Immigrant college to offer a
major in forestry in the school

vides an opportunity for indivi-
dual graduate research; and heat
transfer, and fluid flow, which
| gives advanced work dealing with
the phenomena of heat flow and
fluid flow and their interdepen-
| dence.
The electrical engineering de-
partment plans to switch from
two-hour laboratory periods to
three-hour laboratory periods,
hoping to cut down on the amount
of work necessary outside class.
The aeronautical engineering
department, the youngest of the
four departments of the Engi-
neering school, has just completed
a wind tunnel to be used in the
testing of aircraft designs; and
the Engineering and Industrial
Research station is undertaking a
study of weather and air currents
under the direction of DR.. August
Raspet, who directed the glider
phase of the thunderstorm project
for the u. S. Weather burearu.
New courses also are being Of
fer in the department of geology.
This department has gained wide
recognition. Mississippi State col
lege is one of the few schools in
the South to offer a degree In
petroleum geology.
New courses in this school in
! clude: structural geology, concern
ing possible accumulative struc-
lures for oil; oil field exploitation;
oil field development; and petro-
logy, which is a study of rocks
and their constituents.
These courses, along with other
additional offerings planned for
the 1949-1950 college year, will
give Mississippi State college one
of the most complete curricula in
the South, and will keep the col
lege in step with new develop
ments.

OF Interest To
Veterans

Q-Is the widow of a World
War l veteran entitled to a pen
sion even though the husband had
no service-connected disability?
A-For World War I widows
the answer is yes. Benefits are
payable under Public Law 483,
18th Congress, if the veterans
service meets the requirements,
and the widows income does not
exceed limitations established by
law. A World War II widow
whose husband had no service
connected disability is not eligi-
BILE for pension.
Q-Is it true that National Ser
vice Life Insurance pays the in
sured veteran S. per month for
each $1,000 of insurance in force
while he is totally disabled?
Aft the veterans pays the
necessary extra premium, he will
be paid S. per month for each
$1,000 of insurance in force after
he has been totally disabled for
six consecutive months. Applica-
ton for total disability income
may be made at your local VA
office.
