Mr. Penberthy expressed appre ciation for v the mahner in ' which the members of the corps have co operated with the athletic depart ment regarding conduct in the pool. No trouble of any nature has been experienced by thoso in charge done to foster their convenience and pleasure in connection with the use of the new equipment. A ruling that will be followed in the future calls for the closing of the pool and the prohibition of swimming during the hours that competition in a varsity sport is in progress, Mr. Penberthy said, but this is in keeping with the asual A and M custom of having the cadet corps on the sidelines when varsity learns are in action.
