, OFFICIAL NOTICE
Thursday the entire corps la in
vited to joAney to Austin for n
practical demonstration by Profes
sor Homer Norton's class in Animal
Husbandry 19tea. ’The corps has
been behind the team the whole
year, and the boys want to show
their appreciation by bringing back
to school choice cuts of beef for
use in the mess hall,” says Norton
In a statement to a Battalion
repreaentative, J. C. Hotard, Sup
ervisor of Subsistenos said that he
had known for some time the boys
weren’t eating their M buUneek” with
their customary firs and ardor. He
stated that he had tried to procure
native beef, failing, however, in
his endeavors, sad was forced to
order beef from Kansas City and
other points. He deplored this sit
uation and begged Professor Nor
ton’s class to send kim NATIVE
beef as soon as possibU
In Animal Husbandry 19S8a, the
meat supply is takea u|> as a vital
part of the course. This, along with
methods of slaughtering, utilisation
of by-products, and wholesale and
retail cuts, comprise the more im
portant divisions involved. Prof.
Norten has prepared a lecture fon
his ckiKs, which is briefly summar
ized below.
“All of you boys have had quiz
A on 'methods of slaughtering,'
and have received grades between
90 and 100. This proves to me that
you have done yomr homework
every day—and have done it well
"Quiz B, on Utilization of by-
product*,’ involving advanced the©
net on profiting by past ezper
iencea, was a bit harder, but every
man was on his toes and wasn’t
amfkk nappias. _
“Quiz C, covering by far the
largest and moat interesting part
of the course will be given on
Thursday at 2:80 p. m. in the Mem
orial Laboratory at Austin. The
quiz will cover ‘Meat Supply,’ and
Wholesale and Retail Cuts.’ Now
boys,; you’ve had ‘Meat Supply’
drummed into you since you’ve been
in my class. There’ll be eleven
young bulls out there ready to be
slaughtered. I want my A students
in ‘Methods of Slaughtering,’ to
take rare of that item. The rest of
you boys carve the ‘bullets’ up and
put the cuts on Ice by 8 o’clock,
which is the thne limit allowed on
this quiz.
T’m glad to se* you're doing
your homework, and if that’s any
indication of your knowledge, then
I have no doubts in my mind about
your making an A on quiz C. In
cidentally, quiz C happens to be
the final examination in my course,
■o if you pass this, you pass the
whole course. Class dismissed."

No Provision For

BY A FARMER
Them thar U. T. students are

Reckonin’ on how their Long

Farmers, they done wfnt and pass
ed an act in the Students Associa
tion to curb the Aggie side of the
score.

The only thing H didn’t provide
for was growing hair on Dana

The two teams are about equal
on that count, though, ’cause Hom

not be 0. K. with us Farmers is
