Dr. Vernon A. Young, head of the department of range manage- ment at the University of Idaho, will become head of the new range management department at the A&M College on September 1. Veterans Guidance Center Charged With Bringing New Bringing the Veterans Admin- istration to the Veteran is the mission of the Veterans Guid- ance Center at A. & M. College, of which L. A. Howsley Jr. is Chief. Mr. Howsley is well qualified for this position having been a member of the Coast Guard and later the Merchant Marine. An Ex-Aggie, himself, Howsley is familiar with A. & M. and the problems of Aggies. He received his degree in Rural Sociology from A. & M. in June, 1941. The Guidance Center is located in Hart Hall and assists veterans in all problems pertaining to edu- cation and training. It acts as a Policies to Aggies liaison between the Veterans Ad- ministration and the College through the Veterans Advisor. The Center is in no way connected di- rectly to the College but is con- trolled by the Veterans Adminis- tration through its Waco office. Overseeing Part Seven of the G. I. training bill is one of the big tasks of the center. This is the section under which veterans with service disability are entitled to greater training benefits but have more rigid supervision. The Center is expanding its personnel and facilities in anti- cipation of the increased enroll- ment and corresponding increase in Veterans for the fall semester. Kyle Field Keeper Gets Scarce Praise There are two men around the Athletic Department who have done a great deal of work and re- ceived very little recognition. These two men are W. F. Fitts and “Sarge” Holden. Fitts, who is General Superin- tendent of Grounds and Build- ings of the Athletic Department, came to the campus in 1940 from Cass County, Texas. One of Fitts’ main duties is to see that Kyle Field is in excel- lent condition throughout the foot- ball season. He reports that at present there is a mat of grass about two inches thick on Kyle Field and that it will be in tip- top shape by September. Fitts and his men have put in many hours of hard work on Kyle Field this summer and deserve a great deal of credit for their efforts. “Sarge” Holden, who is Prop- erty Man of the Athletic Depart- ment, has been with the depart- ment since last fall. Previous to that time, he is remembered as the bull-sarge whose beat was around Georges’ Confectionary. He was with the police force for 23 years. The “Sarge” has been very busy this summer checking in new and old equipment and is now building many new racks and shelves needed for the extra equipment. Many new blocking pads, shoulder pads, jerseys, head- gears, and socks have been bought Point System Used By Smith in Renting Apts So you think you’ve gotten away from the Army? That old fami- liar phrase heard so many times in the Army, “How many points do you have?” may soon become a familiar phrase on the campus among the 200 applicants for the new apartments being built by Mr. Travis L. Smith, member of the class of 1898 and prominent oil man of Houston. Mr. Smith, who is employing all student veteran labor, has set up his own rating system for priorities on the 40 unit apartment building, which is being construct- ed one quarter of a mile north of the North Gate on the old College Road cut-off. The highest priori- ties will go to the men who have done the most construction work on the building and have the larg- est families. In regard to the reasons for constructing this building, Mr. Smith said, “Although the Feder- al Government has furnished about: 700 units and the college has do- nated various dormitories and project houses, there is still a great demand for many more. I felt it was an opportunity for an ex-student, who was financially able, to do something for the col- lege and the veterans.” to accomodate the 150 athletes expected to report for football September 1, Silver Taps Births Lt.

ATTENTION SPANISH-AMERI- CAN WAR VETERANS August 19, 1946 I am very anxious to hear from all A. & M. Cadets who served in the war with Spain, 1898-1902. 1st—as a matter of History, let me say that I served in the Texas Militia, then composed of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Texas Volunteer Guard, (Infantry), two or more regiments of Cavalry and two or more Batteries of Artillery. I entered this organization about 1889, as Captain of the Garrity Rifles of Corsicana, Texas, a Com- pany in the 4th Texas Volunteer Guard under command of Colonel James A. Styron. I was thereafter elected as Major and later as Lieu- tenant Colonel of the regiment where I served until 1898 when Governor Charles A. Culberson appointed me as Lieutenant Colo- nel of the 4th Texas U. S. Volun- teer Infantry of the Spanish- American War. I was sworn . in at Camp Tom Ball, Houston, Texas, in June 1898 and honorably discharged with the regiment at San Antonio, Texas, in March, 1899, First, I would like to hear from any officer or soldier who served with me in the Texas Militia, 1889 to 1902. I think Hadley Franklin and Spencer Hutchins of Houston, Texas, now deceased, both served with me in the Militia and Hadley Franklin was a Cadet with me at the A. & M. College and served as an officer in the 2nd Texas-Spanish American War. Spencer Hutchins served as Regi- mental Adjutant with me in the 4th Texas-Spanish American War. 2nd—would like to hear from any officer or soldier of any Texas regiment of the Spanish-American War, 1898-1902. 3rd-most especially from any cadet of the A. & M. College who served in any capacity in the Spanish-American War, 1898-1902. Would respectfully request that should the “Aggie” receive any replies hereto, it does not care to publish, that they be mailed to me, and should I receive any re- plies worthy of publication, I will forward them to the “Aggie”. Yours very truly, G. W. Hardy, ’79 Hardy & Hardy 415 City Bank Bldg. Shreveport, La. 1899 A. C. Love 1408 Hartford Rd., Austin Ambassador and Mrs. E. J. Kyle were recent visitors on the campus while touring the U. S. with a group of representatives from Guatemala. The group visited Iowa State, Cornell University, and Washington D. C. 1900 Arthur Weinert is ranching at Seguin. He was a guard on the 1899 football team, and would like to hear from any of his classmates. 1908 Lem Adams Oxweld R. R. Service Co. 230 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, Ill Mr. Charles A. Burmeister Washington, D. C. Dear Burmeister: Your letter in the recent Aggie shows that the simplicity of soul which, as I saw it, characterized you during our A. & M. years, re- mains with you down to this day, when you are nearing 60. This quality should have con- tributed to make you psychologi- cally a whole person, and hence not unhappy. I pray -that this be the case. True, even such a commendable quality is not a complete remedy against a “bum” back or other ailments that may creep up on us as we grow older. But the “bum” back condition, etc. would quite likely be less bearable without that solid spiritual foundation pro- vided by your simplicity of soul. Our time on this earthly scene— no use shutting our eyes to this undesirable—is running out at (subjectively speaking) an accel- erated speed. And it is good at this period to be in possession of the knowledge that some of our erstwhile associates were of the type that one cherishes dwelling upon the memory of such associa- tion. In that letter you mention the student strike of 1908 and refer to it as “unfortunate”. From the College history angle it may pos- sibly be worthwhile recording in the “Now it may be told” vein that the senior class vote on the strike was not at all a smoothly running affair. Some classmates might still recall that in an effort to achieve unanimity of vote, repeated votes were taken, as there were a few non-conformists who in the earlier voting held out against the strike. With succeeding polls their number gradually melted away. This writer with his customary obstreperous- ness, held out to the end, was fin- ally the lonely “nay”, and the strike vote passed without the striven for 100% unanimity. But Leslie Huff was an unusually fine fellow anyway. S. Lomanitz General Laboratories 233-234 Terminal Ar- cade Bldg. Oklahoma City, Okla. 1911 M. J. Miller 1601-05 Ft. Worth Nat’l Bk. Bldg.

August 16, 1946 “The first thing I do when “The Texas Aggie” arrives is to turn to the column headed “1916”, and this time I was more thrilled than usual to read the note written by my old pal, Hugh S. Clarke. I have wondered very often about Hugh and what he was doing, and was glad to learn that he was still living and continuing with some branch of M.
