It was during his career at Cornell that he won second place in a college swimming meet—first place going to George Cogeac, who was ac claimed Olympic champion one year later. As a student. Dr. Ludlum eras very much interested in journalism. He worked on the Cornell paper for three years, and upon gradua tion in 1#*0 accepted the position of managing editor of the La Roy, New York, weekly paper. In 1931 he gave up newspaper work and returned to Cornell to obtain his master’s and doctor’s degrees in history. , It was during these days that he became engaged and then mar ried to a Miss Smith, who was daughter of Cornell's acting pres ident mad dean of engineering.

Aruba is a DuUh-owned island two miles square in the West In dies just off the South American republic of Venssusla. On It a colo ny of some 2,600 American engi neers has built up the greatest oil refinery in the world, one valued at $66,000,000, end has made the island the thirteenth greatest ship ping center of the world in ton nage. “Down in the Caribbean Saa (the artide begins) there is a colony of vagrant Americans on a Dutch is land called Aruba where the women have the men in a perfect situation. The men are all young engineers. but that matters less to the girls than that they are the kind of men who will get ahead. They have the 'beat training American colleges of engineering can give them, they are drawing deem real money, and there are twenty of them to every woman in the colony.” Prom this introduction the article by Mr. Robertson continues with Rs interestingly descriptive account of the isle of Aruba. Later in the story comes the “plug” for A. A M. It comes in an account of the various sections of the United States represen tod by these young engineers who have “the best train ing Americas colleges can give thorn.’’ In the exact words of the arttfels, ‘Then, there are a lot of Texans from around Houston who rate.

BEING SPEEDED According to Jamas Aston, Bryan City Manager, rapid progress is being made oa Bryan's new Main Street extension. The project calls for a road forty feet wide, and con crete is now being poured in two sections of twenty feet each. Ap proximately 1,000 feet of it has al ready been poured. Materials for the project are be ing hauled from the Brmxes River. Recent high rains lad to a delay in construction, aa it eras vary diffi cult to obtain the needed materials as long as the erater level has re mained higher than usual. Condi tions are now back to normal, and the work is going on aa scheduled. It is. expected that the project will be completed by tbs first ef Nov ember unless bad weather condi tions cause another delay. Plans are being made for a new cut-off from the old highway to the campus. The proposed road would leave the old highway just south of Sprague's Service Station and lead directly across to the road back of the Administration Build ing. Work on this plan will not be started until after the completion °f the new Main Street extension.

The Field Ar tillery Regiment will have three battalions Instead of two sa during the pest years. TTiis new Field Artillery organisation is identical with that at a medium artillery regiment. Heretofore the Field Ar tillery has been s light artillery regiment.

If possible, these men will be placed la a dormitory apart from tke organisations.
