By EDDIE SMITH Every semester droves of pov erty-stricken students sweat out the used book line at the Exchange Store hoping, to pick up a few meager pennies from a worn out edition of Potter's “Zoology Made Easy,” Faires’ “Things You Should Know About Thermodynamics,’** or Kinsey’s [“Interesting Facts About the American Male.” But few ever wonder what hap pens to fhese innocent victims of circumstances after they have been sacrificec. for “pin” money. Ac tually toiese books serve a far more usfful purpose than merely providing thirsty students with change fo fill the already over flowing cof ers of nearby Bryan establishtnerits.

Oscar B. Abbott, senior instructor qf the Organized Reserve Corps. Reserve personnel in units sup porting the 18-Division Army plan ned to be built up total some 314,- 000 officers and men. As the first step in utilizing the limited funds available for 1949 to the best advantage, the Department of the Army estab-, lished training categories for thy types of units concerned. Training Category I is set at 48 drills with at least 15 days ac tive field training; Category II, 24 drills per year; Category III, 12 drills per year; and Category IV, four drills per year. A fifth training category is established which includes highly specialized units requiring a minimum of mili tary training.
