RUSSELL STUDIES
COOPERATIVES
On July 26 Dan Russell left for
a four-weeks’ tour of Nova Scotia
to study the cooperative system
there and see how its outstanding
features might be applied to the
A. & M. system.
N. Y. A. FUNDS INCREASED
Texas A. & M. will receive $10,-
173—an increase of thirty-five per
cent over last year—in National
Youth Administration funds used
to create student part-time employ
ment during the current long ses
sion, according to an announcement
made by J. C. Kellam, state admin
istrator of N. Y. A. funds.
The figure was considerably
more than was expected and O. R.
Simpson, Director of Student em
ployment, pointed out that this
would mean an additional hundred
jobs.
AGGIE HIGHWAYING
CHAMPION
Aggie Keyes Carson, founder of
the National College and Univer
sity Travel Club, set a hitch-hiking
record in “thumbing” from Texas
to New York City and then to San

DENNY AND PERKINS BEST
SPORTS STARS
“Chick” Denny was judged the
best all-round boy athlete during
the first semester. Denny is a
Field Artillery senior this year.
Josephine Perkins, Rice Institute
coed of Houston, was chosen as the
best all-round sports girl.
CORPS ORGANIZATION
CHANGES MADE
With the announcement that
there will be no more day-student
organizations, the Commandant’s
Office revealed many changes in
corps organization for the 1939-40
session. The changes included the
manner in which day-students
would be assimilated into the dor
mitory organizations, the number
of juniors and seniors in each or
ganization, the separation of the
various military staffs from or
ganizations, and the addition of a
third battalion to the Field Ar
tillery Regiment.
NEW EXCESS CUTS RULING
Instead of reducing a student’s
grade because of excess absences
as has been the rule in the past,
a new ruling provides that for ev
ery two unexcused cuts above the
credit value of the course in any
one semester, one grade point will
be deducted from that student’s
grade point total. This was the
Registrar’s answer to an apparent
desire on the part of the student
body for a change in the system.
SECOND-SEMESTER
ENROLLMENT
The summer session’s second se
mester witnessed an enrollment
drop with a registration of 1,138,
which included 43 women.

Campbell, magician of note, pre
sented his show in the Assembly
Hall.

pany won the first round of the

big hit. Sullivan’s group had a
repertoire of more than 900 pieces
with them.

August 17 to 19 were the dates
of the annual air-conditioners’
short course. Sponsored by the

ment, the meeting was attended by
'over 100 men.
•

inations were taken and the 1939
summer session was officially over.
A summer session that brought out
many unprecedented happenings,

tating and devitalizing feats recently
performed by the Parker Vacumatic to
prove it will last for life. No other pen
we know has ever faced such torture.
Yet the Parker Vacumatic did it—can
do it any time—and come forth in per

its long life.
3rd—“Electrocution”: Every Parker

exposing it to 5,000 volts of electricity
which flashes a red light if there’s even
a pinhole leak.
4th—“Drip Test”: Pens filled and
hung points down for hours in frigid
temperature, then in torrid temperature.
5th—Dropped 3,000 ft. from an air
plane to prove the lovely laminated pearl
barrel and cap are Non-Breakable.
You never saw such a pen. You never
owned one. A sacless pen that holds far
more ink than ordinary rubber sac pens
—shows the ink level at all times, hence
won’t run dry without warning, in classes
or exams. So go and see it now and get
it for college and for life.
