T*e United States Chril Service
aon has announced open
tor the poai-
listed below. Applications
mus be on file in the Commia*ion's
offiae, Washington, D. C.. not later
August 14 if received from
state* east of Colorado.
a cub reporter discovers that this
same columnist once eras runner-up
in a swimming contest to a future
Olympic champion, it puts a dif
ferent light on matters.
Dr. Robert P. 1 odium, news com
mentator for the regular-session
Battalion and for The Sommer Bat
talion, is a native New Yorker. £tat
don't bold that against hint—-he
likes Texas tool '
^ Born in Ithaca, be attended pub
lic school there, and in 1926 at
tended Cornell University. 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.
In '55 Dr. Ludlum joined the
faculty of Texas A h M. as a
member of the History Depar
tment. He soon added to his title
that of faculty tanaia champion.
(However, ha says that last year’s
tilt, with Dr. T. H. Terrell of the
Engineering Drawing Department
has never been completed).
In recent years one of his main
“hobbies” has been the study of
the Anti-Slavery Gag Rule. He has
done extensive research on this
question, and says that during his
vacation and study in the North
during the first part of this sum
mer he came to the conclusion of
this problem. ’

Article in Recent Issue of National
Magazine Boosts Engineers of Texas A.&M.
Texas A. * M. gained a bit of-b
added national recognition recent
ly, with the publication, in the
July 8th issue of the populak, na
tionally-read magnsine “The Sat
urday Evening Post”, of the leng
thy and interesting feature article
entitled “The Lucky Girls of
Araba", by Ben Robertson.
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

with Texas, aa distinct from
United States, sad mast af Ik

EXTENSION OF
BRYAN MAIN ST.
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.

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.
Another important change which
la contemplated is the aeparatioa of
the Various battalion, regimental,
and rorps staffs from the organi-
xatlons. If possible, these men will
be placed la a dormitory apart
from tke organisations.
As usual, the promotion list will
be published after the first of Sep
tember in order that the military
department may have time to av
erage In summer grades to the
averages of the seniors and the
many prospective military juniors.
Although advance room spplics-
tioos are being accepted, only
freshmen are being given room as
signment*. Upperclassmen will ate
be given room aasigasaeats until
after September first. The reason
for this is that sophomores. Juniors,
and seniors are eligible for mili
tary proosotloa and many ef them
will have to be apportioned oat to
the varioos organisations accord-
la the need.
It is not expected that there will
be any further changes in the nor
mal routine other than those hsuii
