That was the exciting experience of Miss Nedra Cooper, last Tuesday; and, to add color to that experience, all of them were post-marked Col lege Station, which meant that it was no usual collection of letters! Upon investigation it seemed that the “boy friend” who is an upper-classman at A. and M. had solicited the aid of a number of freshmen in providing a new thrill for “Miss C. I. A.”—Uasso. Equipment Donated to Chemical En gineering Department Equipment for the manufacture of soap and Hardened cotton seed oil has been received by the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Department from the Procter and ! Gamble Company of Cincinnati. This consists of a soap kettle, mixer, and hydrogenation outfit. Added to the complete mill equipment presented by the Texas Cotton Seed Crushers’ As sociation last year, the Department is now completely equipped for the tak ing of cotton seed through the various processes to its finished products, and Is the first and only institution so equipped for such work enabling the students to come in direct contact with mill operation on a commercial scale. The Chemical Engineering students will operate the cotton seed oil mill during the months of October and November under the direct super vision of a man specialized in each field of work, sent to the College by the Texas Cotton Seed Crushers’ As sociation. Chemical Engineers with a theoretical and practical training in ' engineering and chemistry are in de mand, and it has been impossible for the Department to fill all the requests 'for men from the industries. Lubbock Aggies Prepare for Big Time at A. & M.-Tech Game At noon on the 28th, the Aggie Ex- Students in Lubbock will stage a bar becue for all Aggie visitors who come to attend the A. and M.-Texas Tech game. They are planning to serve wild duck barbecued, the duck being furnished by two Ex-Aggies. The visitors will be given a big reception, including plenty of cars to “tote” them anywhere merely by saying that they ar Aggies. Every effort is being made to make the day the greatest A. and M. day ever held in the State and to see that every visitor has the time of his life. Specials will be run into the city from all over the Plains and some of those cowboy Aggies of the West are com-: ing in off their ranches for the first game they’ve seen in a long time.

To improve the machine Practice — hours of practice. Every glee club knows the constant striving for improvement, for the coordinated smoothness essential to per fect harmony. So, too, are Western Electric men engaged in the never-ending work of improving the ma- chinery of telephone manufacture and keeping the stream of production flowing smoothly. Even time-honored processes, such as the manipulation of rubber, are under investigation in order that newer and better methods may be developed. This striving for perfection—a spirit that regards nothing as finally standard nor too small for further improvement — permeates the Western Electric organization and offers invit- ing opportunity for alert minds.
