of current high prices.
In reference to the reopening of

that he planned to follow the re

“I believe that our state is one

Some Used Text Booty Circle
Globe; Others Stay at Borne
.
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.
Carl Birdwell, manager of the
Exchange Store, said the Wil-
cox-FoIlett Company of Chicago
manages the sale under the aus
pices of the YMCA. At the
close of every long semester a
crew of! buyeVs visit various col
leges ip the -Southwest buying
all booiks which are not spit-
^ able for resale by the local book
stores.!
At A&M the Exchange Store
gets first calf on all books which
are t<j be used here the following
semester. The editions that are
being replaced are bought by the
Wilcox-i’ollett firm and shipped
to Chicago. They .are then listed

Army Plans to Use
12 Million Dollars
For 0RC Training
The method by which the Army
will distribute $12,000,000 in in
active duty training pay to offi
cers and enlisted men of the Or
ganized Reserve Corps, has been
announced by the Army, said Col.
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.
Training Category I units will
be mainly combat support units,
such as a tank battalion, which
obviously requires maximum pre
paration for combat. Only units
Which are authorized to have full
complements of officers and en
listed men will be placed in this
first category. Pay priorities are;
based upon (he (raining categories
thus established,;
