Xu usUka what branch of engineering it is, be it mechanical, efvQ or chemical. In : this case we are more concerned with \ the chemical part of engineering. It is vary unfortunate that the College does not find itaelf located in a part of the country where the industries are growing fast, this being mainly an agricultural section of the state. The industrial part would be of h»- calcuable use to the Student for he could then actually see and observe the processes of manufacture, in pro duction. It is essential that when chemical engineer fills a position such with some corporation, that he can say that he is familiar with the process. The chemistry’ department of the-college realizes that fact more and more every day, so that it has started a Series at miniature plants used in the industries. They are.

The initial step was taken last Monday week, when the call was made for basoball matfartalj' One hundred men answered the call and signified their intention of beginning training at once. This was rather an overwhelming start and Coach Bible was forced to make some kind of an elimination. He decided to call out only th> pitchers knd catchers. Work this past week Mss had te do with the battery only, and the least force in the ranks of team aspirants is here. Daniels is the only letter man who has stepped on the field so far to re sume his old place on th*> mound. It seems that there will he no applicant with former service record as a rec ommendation for a place behind the bat. Captain Jud Lewis U opt for his fourth year with the infield.

The department, as well as the Students are greatly indebted to the kindness of cqmpauies who have made possible the building of the plants, by giving us very willingly apparatus manufactured by them, to be tried out by Us.

A contributing factor toward the accompli*mhent of this end is the supplementing 6f ability with the ex perience of Paul Sentell, who is as sisting the coach in the construction of this year’s team before nc assumes his duties as umpire in the Texas League.
