The final arrangements 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 rangements. Mr. E. P. Veillette, State purchasing officer for the Texas Transient Bureau, has been acting in the capacity of Division Director while Mr. L.

The meat hall, with one hundred and fifteen studknt waiters, takes precedent ovdr all other depart ments in the ipuniber of cadets em ployed. Eighty-six student jani tors are used in policing the aca demic building* and dormitories, while employment is given to fifty in the department of landscape art.

After a thorough tryout of all those interested in being with the Aggieland Orchestra last week, Pat Bellinger, San Antonio, man ager of the orchestra, announced that he had selected eleven to play in permanent positions, with a pos sibility ef two more, members. The Aggieland is trying to obtain a girl singer, possibly the same young lady that made such a hit last year and probably will add another sax player to the band. At their first rehearsal, Sunday, 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 pay. All of‘the late numbers will be ready for the fall dances. The boys representing the Ag- gieiand Orchestra are Pat Bell-j inger; H. A.

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- Gafloline and Kducatkal The#e are approximately 1»000,- 000 school teachers in the United States and an equal number of per sons employed in the making and distributing of ' automobiles.

Frencl) fried potatoes, the favor ite dish of the cadet corps, will be served many times more this year thah in the past, according to Mess Hall authorities. This new ar rangement waif made possible by the innUllatiot^thi* past summer, of automatic temperature-eontrol 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. That some ide*' of the great amount of food handled in the mess hall may be obtained: in one week, ten thousand pounds of meat, fif teen hundred pounds of chicken, two drums of salad toil, ten barrels of shortening, aad seventy cases of eggs are used. pitchers centrated on this project.

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 the bif game which taarks the opening of relations with the big' time Eastern colleges.
