REYNOLDS Circulation Manager THE DAY OF DAYS The Engineering Day Executive Committee, heading and coordinating the various and many exhibits and shows of the departments of engineering, has announced that the plans for the first annual engineering day are com plete. The entire student body looks with anticipation towards the day set aside for the displays by those men who have learned striking physical phe nomena and much about specialized fields. The first of its kind to be held at A. and M., it bids well to mark the beginning of an entirely new era in this, an already ranking engineering school of the United States. The furth erance of literally the base upon which is built a great part of this our civ ilized world is indeed a noblepurpose. The cooperation, conscientious efforts and diligent planning on the part of student engineers, professors, authorities and others, deserves the thanks of all; although it is for their cause that they work, they are pushing A. and M. into a prominent position in engineering fields today. For this we owe them a debt of gratitude. Frankly, these words are not empty; there has, if one will look around, been an enthusiasm and interest aparent to the most casual observer. The success of the day is assured already. And to the staff of the Technoscope, the heralders of the events of the day, should go a share of the praise. An entirely new publication of its type on the campus, it is already certain of success. Those of the student body who miss the exhibits upon which many of the college have worked so hard in preparing will do not only themselves but the school an injustice. Educational value, entertainment, striking phenom ena, lectures, amusement, diversion and thrills all are contrived to make this day a memorable one in the history of the college. Congratulations to the man to whom this idea was original, and to all those who have worked to make its materialization a success. A VOTE OF THANKS No man can hope to please everybody, but there is a group of men on the campus who deserve much of the praise, approval, and applause of the student body. This group is the 1930 Longhorn staff. The production of this book has been a large undertaking and the result of their labors has been the presentation of a great piece of work in this particular field, field. When one looks at this book, one cannot help but be taken with awe; for this publication is the result of many tedious and laborous hours on the part of a hard-working and willing staff, truly a work of genius. It is indeed a credit to those men who have so faithfully worked to make it a success and means a great deal not only to them but to the student body in general. Like all publication jobs it is more or less a thankless job; credit being given only in a very few cases. It is well night impossible to please as large a group of men as there are here, at least all of them, but we wish to voice the opinion of those who have found the book favorable, that it is a work of art. Let praise fall where it is due; congratulations to those who really deserve such. nmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmk our selection of A. M. C.
