Since eating arrangements have
been made at the old soldier’s bar

i This transient project, which is,
incidentally, the only one of its
kind in the country, is one of the
educational features sponsored un
der the direction of Marshall B.

Bureau is a relief unit of the Texas
Commission with its plan and or
ganization affiliated with, 'and
similar to, the Federal Transient
Bureaus 'throughout the United
States.
This project consists in organiz
ing the two hundred men from
Transient Camps over Texas into
a division unit here at the College
for the purpose of providing them
with a year’s college trainiqg-
Dr. Ora Minor, Educational Su
pervisor of Transient Projects, is
assisting Mr. Thompson in organ

for the division were made by Dean
Bolton acting under the direction
of the Executive Committee and
W. T. Pratt, field representative,
of the Texas Transient Bureau.
Mr. Pratt has been on the
campus for the past two weeks
assisting the divisional personnel
in completing all necessary ar

in the mess hall banquet room all
eleven of tbe “boys’* were present
Bellinger said that he had just
received a number of new hits and
that quite m It* more were on the

i**ration of last ydar.
This enrollment of almost three
thousand students is the largest
ever known in the history of the
college. The registration for the
1928-29 session, which over the
period of both )semester*, reached
two thousand eight-hundred and
seventy students, rivals more
closely than any other year the
number in attendance this year.
With the number expected to en
ter at mid-term, the registration
for the year should exceed three
thousand students. | ,
Credit fer this great increase
in enrollment is attributed to the
student body of last year, who
gave time and effort unsparingly
in contacting* prospective students
for tfMB ymr, Mr. Howell stated..
The movement which was first
inaugurated two years ago pro
vided appointments with senior
classes of various high school over
the state for A and M cadets who
had been graduated from those
schools only a few years previous
ly. A description of A and M and
its educational facilities as well as
financial information about the
school was presented by these
spokesmen of the college. l
This increase in ennollment dem
onstrates clearly that the prestige
of this college has risen consider
ably in the estimatiot of the peo
ple of the state. This fact alone
will cause future prospective A and
M students to consider entering
this dollege more seriously than
the mass of high school graduates
have In the past. Such a phenome
nal increase in enrollment is bound
to hate its beneficial effects, the
college authorities agrht.
Part of this iacrease is due to
the fact that the Federal govern
ment !r maintaining two hundred
transient, students here as a part
of the relief program. Although
this project is fundamentally ex
perimental, the government is
closely watching the progress
made by these students, and if the
plan is successful, this college will
receive wide-spread applause sine* r
the eyts of the ebuntty are con-

be served many times more this
year thah in the past, according to
Mess Hall authorities. This new ar

the innUllatiot^thi* past summer,

fryers, ihiih provide • fifty per
cent saiing in shortening and a
considerable saving also in fuel.
Most important, however, is the
greater "degree of sanitation pro
vided by the modern design and
manufacture of the fryers.
Improvement in the mess hall
plant is by fhr not limited to the
above installation. A battery of in
sulated and temperature-controlled
ovens have been placed in service,
and arejexpected to reduce shrink
age of roasts and other baked
foods by fourteen to nineteen per
cent. Baking at the even tempera
ture will also produce a more pala
table dish, by preventing drying
out.
Every’, effort has been made to
bring the butcher shop up to the
standard which the plant authori
ties advocate. Tiled walls and floor,
new acr*ea wiring, and new meat
blocks are just a few of the many
improvements in that department.
Metallic paint has been sprayed on
the wallk of the huge meat stor
age room for the prevention of
moisture absorption, which causes
a rapid deterioration of the plaster
and paiiit.
Individual bottles of milk, which
were premised to the corps last
year, will be forthcoming just as
quickly as the dairy is able to com
plete installation of the equipment
necessary to provide this accom
modation The •access of the ser
vice and the length of time that it
will be offered depends entirely up
on the amount of cooperation the
cadet corps offers. If the bottles
are removed from the mess hall
or promiscuously broken, the milk
will agaki be served
without cream.

amount of food handled in the mess
hall may be obtained: in one week,

Those cadets bitten with the
wanderlust and susceptible to the
open road fever will get out the
blits and shoe-polish, pack their
grips, and be on their merry way
for the Temple University game in
Philadelphia this October 2. Whin
tbe Maroon and White team trots
out on that football field, they will
have the corps right in back of
them shouting their insides out, as
usual It might b# limited to a
handful of lucky ones, but they will
make enough noias to represent
the Aggies, with the aid of hun
dreds of other Texans, and ex-Ag-
gics who are turning out for

opening of relations with the big'
time Eastern colleges. October 5th

sizable group shouting for the Tax-
