In order to avoid further loss, the price of tickets will have to be raised or the attendance boosted to an average of approximately 100. The only other alternative, it seems, is to discontinue the meetings. Our next (and last???) luncheon will be held Thursday, November 9; at that time we shall have to decide whether to try a “drive” for larger attendance or merely discontinue the luncheon. So come Thursday, if you can, and bring along a solution, if you have one. CHARLES LAMOTTE ABSENCES REVOKED The folowing is published for the in formation of all concerned.

These events will mean that an even larger number of people will be on the campus than would normally attend the football game. To provide conveniences for the weekend’s many visitors, a plan ning board consisting of Colonel Ashburn and a group of college officials have made plans to ac commodate the crowd. Special tables will be set for visitors at 11:00 o’clock and 1:00 o’clock in the Mess Hall if the crowd is too large to be handled at the regular noon meal. A charge of 35c per person will be made. An infor mation booth will be established between the Y. M. C. A. building and Goodwin Hall, for the visitors convenience, and rest rooms for women will be provided for and located at points throughout the campus. WTAW— (Continued from page one) Hub and Dub, who do rhythm num bers with only a clarinet and a guitar. “A courageous fellow by the name of J. S. Byrnes, has volunteered to come up and give us a poetry reading,” Mr. Rosser said. “I told him to come ahead, but that I would not be responsible for any uncouth noises that might be made by our studio audience of professional hecklers.” On last Friday’s program, the telephone in the studio was left connected; Rosser acted as both master of ceremonies and tele phone- answerer, interrupting mu sical selections in order to receive requests for more. At the start of the program he warned “sensi tive listeners” that “absolutely nothing they were about to hear is worth listening to.” If reactions from the listeners and students are favorable, Ros ser said, the “Aggie Clambake” NYA Warns Against Magazine Racketeers A warning to the public to be on guard against petty racketeer ing by magazine sales persons who allege in their sales talk they are competing in a contest sponsored by the N. Y. A. or are competing for an N. Y. A. scholarship was issued today by the National Youth Administration. Several employees of Federal agencies in Washington have re ported to the National Youth Ad ministration they were approached by salesgirls and asked *to buy magazine subscriptions to help the N. Y. A. provide scholarships for needy students. Similar representations by a magazine sales crew in Pennsyl vania made necessary issuance of a notice by State N. Y. A. officials that the National Youth Adminis tration is sponsoring no magazine subscription contest nor sales con test of any kind. National Youth Administration officials characterized the misrep resentations of magazine sales per sons as a possible attempt by petty racketeers to cash in on the “Job Creation Contest” sponsored by the N. Y. A. in Illinois which re ceived national attention. The instances of misrepresenta tion which have come to the atten tion of the National Youth Admin istration are being investigated and will be turned over to the proper authorities for action. Letter From Italy Asks Baylor’s Aid Dean E. N. Jones of Baylor Uni versity revealed today a letter re ceived from Venice, Italy, asking for information on teaching pro cedure in the Baylor school of bus iness. The information will be used in the first annual meeting for the development of technical-industri al teaching in Italy and the first exhibition of didactic motion pic tures, the letter said. “We are given to understand,” one paragraph read, “that you dis play a large action in preparing 'young people who intend devoting themselves to economics activities and to the organization of the pro duction. We should like therefore to get a wider knowledge of your teaching activities.” McDonald Taylor of Des Moines claims the world’s miscroscopic whittling championship after mak ing a table, four chairs, four spoons and four plates from one matchstick. will continue to be heard every Friday. The term “clambake,” he explained, is used by radie men to describe “any bum program in volving more than two people.” -THURSDAY, NOV, 9, 1939 Cornell University has a special faculty counselor for foreign stu dents.
