Bellows, superintend ent of the Dallas Construction Company, announced last week. Very few jobs wifl be offered stu dents during the school year, he sUtod. Because of union affiliations, stu dents will be greatly hampered as to the type of work they may do. However, Bellows said that he will hire as many students as pos sible. As these jobs will be ap portioned through the Student La bor Committee, those interested in obtaining this form of summer em ployment should conUct the Stu dent Labor office in the Adminis tration Building in the near futeur. Jobs oa the dormitories will be given to tlie needy, but the students major course will be a great decid ing fat tor.

Practice in Astronomy Offered by Physics Instructor is Popular BY E. A SHIELDS , This year, for the first time in the history of Texaa A. A M , students have been given a chance to practice astronomy. Dr. E. F. Weeks of the Physics Department is directly responsible for this. At the first of this year a course was offered in astronomy, but was cancelled because of lack of interest. However, Dr. Weeks thought there should be more ifa- tereat than that in astronomy. He put two telescopes on the roof of the Physka Building, and made an announcement in the Battalion that anyone interested ia astrono my could come over to the Physics Building on Wednesday night at 7:30 and use the telescopes. There was a good turn-out and it « decided to eontinue the meetings through October. Sim* then, how ever, there has been so much in terest shown that the meetings will be continued through November, and possibly December if the wea ther permits. The meetings last about an hour. Dr. Weeks helps the students lo cate objects and points out many interesting facta. They look at planets, moons, stars, constella tions, nebula, and the like. Many interesting things can b« observed, and on the whole, tha meetings are very interesting.' These gatherings ant open to all studente, and even outsiders.
