Dr. Baker Says
Indian Students Study
Ten Hours, No Break
By RAY STELLY
American students who thirut
they have to study hard would
be wise to stay in America.
Indian undergraduates and grad-
u a t e s t u dents do not think it
strange to study up to 10 hours
at a time without a break, says
Dr. Harold T. Baker, head of
the Chemistry Department.
Dr. Baker, who recently re-
turned from India where he was
supervisor for a group of nine
classes in chemistry throughout
India, told of his work.
The classes were part of an
institute for high school and
co liege teachers sponsored by
the United States Agency for
Development.
"Instructors do not mind being
called at all times of the night
by students who are confused by
difficult problems, " Dr. Baker
said. "Instructo rs take this
as a sign of interest in their
work."
Dr. Baker was invited to join
the institute by Dr. Alexander
Scverino of Ohio State. Ohio
State was contacted byrihe
USADto he ad the chemistry
section of the institute. Other
subjects taught at the institute
were physics, mathmatics,
biology, engineering, and
geology. The instructors were
primarily Indian professors with
Americans doing most of the
supervising.
Dr. Baker left here in March
and spent two months preparing
classes and rooming facilities
for the students and instructors.
He also helped to prepare the
curriculum for the classes.
For the next two months he
traveled to all the locations of
his classes and checked progress
of the progr am. After the
completion of the institute,
he remained for another month
and prep ared a report on his
classes for the US AD and re-
turned at t h e beginning of
September.
On the whole, Dr. Baker said
he was pleased with the
program and hoped a similar
one would be initiated in other
countries.
Approximately 60, 000 bull-
etins of i n fo rmation about an
upcoming draft test for students,
plus application blanks for
taking it, are scheduled to be
mailed to state draft boards
today.
The test will be administered
Nov. 18 and 19, with Lamar
students being permitted to take
the exam Nov. 19 in the Bio-
logy-Geology Building. Appli-
cations for taking it must be
postmarked no later than Fri-
day, Oct. 21.
Col. Morris S. Schwartz, state
Selective, Service director,
said students could get the
bulletins and blanks by writing
their local boards, or by calling
at any board.
To be eligible to take the test,
the applicant must:
(1) Be registered with a draft
board.
(2) Intend t«* request occupat-
ional deferment as a student.
(3) Not previously have taken
the test.
Lamarwill have the informat-
ion bulletins and application
blanks on campus.

with students, Col. Schwartz
pointed out. He said he had
no idea how many would take

30, 000 took the test in May
and June.

WHAT ARE
YOU WAITING FOR?
The new field of Computer Applications could be the
"Something more interesting" you've been looking for.
Just what IS Computer Applications?
It's a mix of your engineering, scientific or math back-
ground with your ability to solve business problems and
also advise business management. A mix that can give
you unusual opportunities for personal growth, advance-
ment and financial reward.
Best of all, IBM will train you for your new career.
When you've completed your training program (with pay,
of course) you'll qualify in either systems engineering or
merketing. Both "go-places" Computer Application areas.
So don't wait. Interview IBM on campus October 6th.
IBM is an Equal Opportunity Employer (M/F).
