opinion, for other polls of tha

depts in all sections of the coun
try believe by almost identical
majorities that blood teats should
be compulsory to aid in eliminat

to health and marriage. Men and
co-ed.« showed no appreciable dif
ferencas in their responses.
New Hamf>shire legislators have
been the first to vote for compul
sory Waaaermann tests for all

question has been brought into
front-page focus under the leader
ship* of Dr. Thomas Parran, sur-
geon general of the United States,
whose campaign against venereal
ailments points out that the syphi
lis organism "p.rochaeta pallida,
attacks 796 outj of each 108,000

Oil Weekly Gives
A. & M.’s Petroleum
Department as Largest
The A. 4 M. Petroleum Engineer
ing Department leads the nation’s
colleges and universities in total
enrollment and number of 1939
graduates, according to a survey
conducted by the Oil Weekly and
published in that magatine’s
March 6 issue.
A. 4 M.’s enrollment of 808
petroleum engineering students and
graduating class of 74 U consider
ably larger than the nation’s second
largest petroleum engineering
school—Oklahoma University with
463 petroleum students and 48
graduates.
The announcement was issued to
day from the office of the Scien
tific Review that the postponement
of the deadline on entries for the
best snapshots of campus scenes
has not achieved the result* hoped
for. The editors of the coo test de
clare that interest in the see test
has been sorely lacking and that
there is still plenty of time for
contestants to get some prise-win
ning shots before tha doe* of the
contest on April 12.
The postponement of the dead
line should allow contestants plenty
of time and opportunity to get
some excellent shots, and it
hoped that student camera f
will not let this chance to m
some “easy" money slip through
Mir fingers.
There are four prises offered, a
first prise of 85.00 in the agrkul
tural division, a second prise
82.00 in the same division; and
* similar prises in the engineering
division. Contestants are urged to
get busy. Entries should be turn
ed in to Charles Jennings, J-18
Hart; Ernie Meynard, J-18 Hart;
or the Student Publications Office
in the Administration Building.
ELECTION—
(Continued from page 1)
of candidates for the editorship
and rales for eomMeting the elec- ‘
tion.
The election of a senior Publi-
itions Board member is aot a
regular procedure, but waa made
■ary by tha death of Jack
Puckett, who waa Junior represen
tative this year.
With the primary election set for
April 17, the run off if one ie'
caaaary, will be held April 84.
All candidates mash file for of
fices by April 18. Candidate# for
the editorship, according to the
new rule, must file a 88 fee. A
rule repealed by the Board this
year required candidates for editor
ship and membership on the Board
to present petition* carrying 80

urn leni

vstory is stearate to ene-millionth
of aa inch. It is a foot thick.
Approximately one-fourth of the
University of Vermont freshmen
are scholarship holders.
"The election will bo held under
the supervision of the editor of
The Battalion, with any student
in A. 4 M. allowed to vote. At the
time of his voting, he must preasnt
his Fiscal Office receipt showing
the payment of foot for the sec
ond semester. Ary protest of the
election is to be beard and Judged
by the Student Election Commit
tee," the rules road.
The Student Election Commit
tee, an innovation b< re, is to be
appointed in the near future by
Dean Bolton.»-
Rulea for making the race for
editorship follow: j
"He must have one year's exper
ience on the newspaper in a capa
city that will fit him for the edi
torship. He must be a Junior with
a general scholastic record above
the minimum required for gradua
tion, and his general academic
standing be such that with a nor
mal load, he can graduate with
his class the following year."
At the same time, the appropri
ation of 8250JD00 for the establish
ment of a cotton research labors
tory in Texas was asked. This bill
would have the Legislature declare
that the policy of the various Tex
as agricultural agencies be stress
ed as much as the production of
those products. The heads of the
various State agricultural agen
cies, schools, and colleges would be
directed to take consideration of
the policy established.
The bill would have the labora
tory constructod under the super
vision of the Texas Board of Con
trol, and to be located as directed
by the Beard.
