8 THE BATTALION CORPS TO SEE TEAM OFF A royal send-off is to be given members of the Aggie grid squad Thursday when they leave for their intersectional battle with Nebras ka Cornhuskers at Lincoln Saturday, according to Fred Buford, chief yell leader, who is planning the send-off rally. Headed by the band, the larger part of which will accompany the team to Lincoln, the cadet corps will gather at the train to see the gridsters and their few supporters off, Buford said. Following college yells and songs, carrying out the theme of “There Shall Be No Re grets,” the band will board the train. ‘T hope that I shall be able to hear the yells of the corps long af ter the train has carried me to where I cannot see them,” Buford said. “I know that every member of the team and every one of the little group of supporters will feel the same way.” TWINS PUZZLE QUIZZERS Jonesboro, Ark., —IP—Two co-eds at the Arkansas State Colege here, who happen to be twins, recently presented the United States Civil Ser vice Department a perplexing prob lem, which was ironed out only when the co-eds’ professors came to their support. The twins, Letha and Leton Adams, took a civil service examination. When their papers were graded there came back from Uncle Sam a letter, stating that there was “ob vious evidence of copying in the ex amination papers,” and that the twins weer barred forever from again taking a civil service examina tion. The girls reported the matter to college authorities, who immediately filed a protest with the civil service authorities. Their professors re ported that there was not a possible chance that the girls had cheated. The instructors said that the girls’ minds just naturally run in the same channels; that as one thinks, the other thinks. In college examinations, they said, the girls turn in almost identical papers. Therefore, it was contended. Uncle Sam shouldn’t bar the twins just be cause they think alike.

Installed in power houses along the waterways, these machines transform the strength of mighty rivers into useful electric energy for homes, for industry, and for transportation. The vision and skill of college-trained men are largely responsible for the continuing leadership of General Electric in its service of furnishing machines and devices that provide the swift, sure convenience and the economy of electricity — on land and sea and in the air.
