THE BATTALION
Campus Layout To
Be Shown On Model
A campus model showing the entire
outlay of grounds and buildings of
A & M College is to be started soon
by Dr. F. E. Giesecke, college archi
tect, it was learned from that depart
ment recently.
The model will be of moulding ma
terial on a table about twelve feet by
ten feet in plan dimensions and will
show contours, lakes and other ground
characteristics as well as buildings, to
proportional dimensions on a small
scale.
The purpose of the model is to as
sist the college architectural staff in
making building locations and other
college structural improvements of the
future, Dr. Giesecke said.
Work on the campus model will be
gin as soon as attendence records
show no dormitory demand for Ross
Hall, this allowing Dr. Giesecke and
his staff to move into the building.
Work on the model will continue un
til all present equipment of the Col
lege is placed, and other improve
ments will be added as additional im
provements are made to the College.
The engineering Experiment Sta
tion staff and possibly the freshmen
architects, with senior instructors,
will probably move into Ross Hall
with the college architect’s staff, it
was learned.
Two Additions To
Experiment Staff
Addition of Paul A. Cunyus, former
assistant county agent of Bexar coun
ty, as assistant poultry husband
man, and of John H. Jones, Fort
Worth, as animal husbandman in
the Extension Service of the A & M
College of Texas gives the Extension
Service an increased staff for the
coming year.
Cunyus assumed his duties August
1, and will devote the majority of his
time'to the marketing phases of poul-
try.
Jones assumed his duties as assist
ant animal husbandman in charge
of beef cattle investigations in the
recently released tick areas and those
areas in the process of being released,
September 1. He will work closely in
cooperation with county agents in the
supervising and getting records on
beef cattle feeding and management
on the farm.
Buford Well Pleased
Yell Practice Crowd
“I am well pleased with the attend
ance and interest being shown in yell
practice thus far in the season,”
Fred Buford, chief of the yell staff
said in commenting upon the attend
ance of the first few nights. “I only
hope that attendance throughout the '
year will be equally as good,” he ad
ded.
Books containing the college songs
and yells, and copies of “There Shall
Be No Regrets”, new song by Curtis
Vinson and R. J. Dunn, have been on
sale for several days and will continue
to be on sale in room 80 Milner, Bu
ford announced. All cadets who have
not obtained books or copies of the
song or who wish to get extra copies
to send away may get them from Bu
ford at that place.
“With the books and songs well
distributed we should be able to no
tice a marked improvement in the yell
practices of the next few nights and
with the freshmen particularly laying
stress on them, our yells should be al
most perfect Saturday,” Buford said.

J. K. Norwood Dies
In Houston Sat.
J. K. Norwood, student of the A &
M College from Beaumont, died Sat
urday afternoon, September 20, in
Herman Hospital, Houston.
Norwood was a member of the class
of 1932 and a student of architecture.
He is the only student who ever made
enough points in the Beaux-Arts In
stitute of Art to progress from one
grade to the next before the expira
tion of any school year.
Norwood, in his two years as a
member of the cadet corps, demon
strated characteristics which marked
him as a man possessing abilities
which would have made him an inval
uable asset to the school.
Yes, the intellectuals always have
microscopes before their eyes.—Pro
fessor Albert Einstein.

A pessimist is one who makes dif

optimist is one who makes opportuni
ties of his difficulties. Remember
that and you will get along.—Vice
Admiral Mansell, R. N.
The beginning of a new year brings
to the campus of A & M not only stu
dents but new faculty members and
although a complete list of faculty
changes has not been learned, a few
of the engineering departments have
given their improvements.
In the civil engineering department
C. S. Adams of the 1930' graduating
class and L. A. Comp, Oklahoma Uni
versity graduate, will give part time
to the drawing department, while S.
A. McCosh is absent to instruct in
Colorado School of Mines at Golden,
Colo.
W. E. Long, ’27, after one year at
Westinghouse and two years at Texas
Tech at Lubbock, comes to the me-
chanical engineering department
along with W. I. Truettner of Michi
gan University, who has completed a
