The site of tbs Lucas well, now known as Spindletcq^ Fieldisoaeoftberli^st oil deposits in the world. Beaumont and area has b&&3m& one d the greatest refining centers in the Ooited States, andthe rui^r, chemical, and plastic industry has grown here as an ofispring of the oil industry.

F Today more dum 600 products carry the Orange CHsc of Gulf Oil corporati Largest sellers among the 600 products are m<^or gasoline, aviaticm gasoline, fUmace oils (home heating), kero8esie,n<^>tha,lui�ricating oils, was and kMmker &iel (^lips).

If that is the case, this locality is forttmate, for there are more employees of die Texas Company in the Port Arthur area than in any other locality, at home or abroad. Theworld*8largestbatadieneplaiid:,locatedat Port Neehes, Texas, may become even bigger. The plant sold by the government to Goodrich-Gulf Chemicals, hic, and the Texas-U.S .Chemical Company for $53 million last ^ring, has increased its GUQmt 88 per cent since it was turned over to private interest. In 1942, Port Nedies was selected as &e {dant site because of its c^tral locatioBi and die five oil companies organixed Ned^s i^tane Products Company to si^rvise, desi^i, construct and qperate tte plant for the government. Construction began in May, 1942, and sp^^icaticm butadiene was first pro duct on Fdmiary 25*1944. The plant was giv@n a rating of 100,000 tons of 98 per cc�t iwre butadiene annually produce vip to I50,(K)0 tons. Butadiene is the major ingredient used in die manufacture of synthetic rubber. Hm Nedies IEten�Be Company em^ys alxmt 3,000 people in our area. Forty-four of die men who built the Pure Oil CcMO^pffliy's Smith fflufl refinery bade in 1922 are still on the roUs-ddefiy as operators of processing units or as craftamcoi. The eeonpany now emplc^s about 1,075 workers. The latest additicm hi this refinery is a catalytic reformdbig imit "a^ildi covers three-quarters of an 4M�re and will employ a piatiaum type napdia into a hig^ octane product. tlie Atlantic BMBniBg com^wny actually came into being in I860, just one year after Odaid Edwin Drake drilled the first U-S ell well iwar Titusvtile in Nordi- westem P^msylvania. UseiBlfidi company was called War(^,Frew and Ccmpany and was establisbed in Ihilade^phia to i^U barelled oil from western Paonsylvania. After a series oC mergers, the Adantic Refinii^ Compaiy vme formed in 1911. In the 44 years since, the Atlantic has jprown tauH it is mm amosig the tc^ 1^ in size among ^m ICX) largest industrial firms in the United Sta^s. Last year, ilm Atreco refbiery had a thsmwout of over 6,000 barrels daily. Another Atlantic activity in the Oulf Coast area is the Adantic Pipe Line company. At die Atreco terminal, oil produced in Texas and New Mexico is loaded aboard the nadcm's tankers, including Adantlc*s fii^t ctf si^rtmkers. Itie number of Adaittic employees in the Port Ardnir area now exceeds 600. You name it* diey make it, in the way of steel containers at die U. S.

Thompson, Executive Director International Fraternity of Delta Si^^ma PI 222 west Adams Street Chica?^, Illinois Dear Atr. Thomson: It is m.y understanding: that lambda Siscma Chi of Lanar State Collet of Technology in this city is being considered for recog nition and affiliation with the International Fraternity of Del ta Si-^ma Pi. I sincerely hope that this recognition and affili ation mav be granted, because in ray opinion Lambda Sigma Chi is extreme a chapter of ^vhich the International Fraternity would be ly proud. Recently the members of Lambda Sigma Chi came to the First National Bank for a field trip. I was impressed with the sin- cerety of purpose and the high type of membership. Dr. R. W. Setzer, Dean of the School of Business Administration of Lamar State College of Technolo^gy, Is a close personal friend of mine; and he is a nan of outstanding leadership and highest academic qualifications. I know that under hjs able direction Lambda Si^'ma Chi, as well as all of the other activities of the School of B'jsiness Administration of Lanar Tech, will maintain extremely high standards. For some ten years it was my privilege to serve as president of the College, and I ]mm from first hand the high morale of the student body and faculty. As a Junior College Lanar was a fully accredited member of the Southern Association of Colleges and secondary Schools for many .years; and its successor, Lanar State Collep-e of Technology, the senior institution, has recently been admitted to membership in the Southern Association on its first application. Any consideration which you may be able to give Lambda Sl^ma Chi will be deeply appreciated. Yours very sincerely. /s/ John E. Gray "COPY" Executive Vice President February 7, 1956 Mr. J. D.

All of the students that constitute the organi^^ation have been in one or more of my classes, and I am sure they will more than mieasure up to the caliber of college students who compose the active fraternity rnemberu. I believe each menxbex can m.ake a tsigmticant contribution to the frateriiity, and it is my sincere hope that he will. From nny observation and contact with the organisers of Lambda Sigma Chi, it Is evident to me that they are a hard-working and sincere group.
