ROGERS , 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."
