COLLEGE OF ORACWE STUDIES The College of Graduate Studies has come into its own in recent years with research in fields from nuclear reactor prob¬ lems to mapping of the ocean floor. Graduate studies at A AA offer education beyond the bachelor ' s level for both research and professional pursuits. A AA is one of two state supported institutions designated by the Texas Commission on Higher Education to assume leadership in graduate studies. The program at A AA concentrates on engineering, the basic sciences, agriculture, veterin¬ ary medicine and selected subjects within the liberal arts. Goal of graduate study is the creation of knowledge, fostered by bringing the best-thinking students and professors together into a critical mass bearing on a problem. Facilities for research at A AA are outstanding. There are 150 laboratories at the main plant in College Station and in field sites across the state. Some of the research facilities cannot be duplicated in any university in the Southwest. Cost of research projects at A AA run in excess of $10 million, much of which is spent on projects in which graduate students participate. Dr. R. E. Wainerdi, Associate Dean of Engineering, explains a probe to visiting NASA delegation headed by James Webb (Gray suit).

ACm fTTES A supposedly accurate account of the 1963- 1964 school year, depicting the various activities of the student body with a somewhat tongue-in- cheek attitude. This section is devoted to the daily life of the Aggie as a student. We have done our best, however, to overlook that dreary aspect of student life known affectionately as studying, and concentrate on the more educational aspects.
