tractive displays was the exhibit
of nuts grown in Texas and other
states. The pecans shown included
such popular varieties as Burkett,
San Saba Improved, Texas Pro
lific, and Kincaid which were
grown in Texas. Also shown were
some high quality walnuts and al
monds grown in California. A very
interesting item was the exhibit
of pecan oil and pecan cake from
which the oil was processed. In
connection with the pecan exhibit a
pecan cracker was shown and
demonstrated.
An outstanding sidelight of the
show was the barrel of Arkansas
Cider which was sold at five cents
a glass to show visitors.
The fruits and other products
for the show were donated by well-
known Rio Grande Valley growers
and various other Texas farmers.
Most of the nuts, fruits, and veg
etables were sold by the end of
the show Tuesday evening. The re
ceipts from these sales will be used
by the Horticulture seniors to fi
nance an inspection trip through
the winter gardens of the Rio
Grande Valley and other parts of
Texas.

Highway Service
To Employ Cadets
Several A. & M. students will
be employed by the Texas State
Highway department next month
for work as Courtesy Station At
tendants, Ormond R. Simpson,
chairman of Student Labor Com
mittee announced Wednesday.
According to the announcement
made by Mr. Simpson the work
will start February 1, 1940 and
will be a splendid opportunity for
those students who will not be able
to return for the second semester.
He also stated that either juniors
or seniors were preferred for the
work.
All applications for this work
must be in the Student Employ
ment Office before the Christmas
holidays so that sufficient time
will be allowed for examination of
applications and the selection of
the required personnel.
New Dorms-

be open to general traffic.
At the present time 60 W.P.A.
workers are engaged in filling
the ravine northwest of the dorms
so that the proposed street and
landscaping plans can be carried on
in this area. The gully will not
be filled to the level of the campus
proper but will form a gentle slope
to aid drainage and harmonize
with the landscaping.
Shrubs and trees will be plant-
back e d J us t as soon as the proper beds
can be built. Construction of beds
has already been started on dorm
5 and will start on the other build
ings in the near future. In addi
tion, extensive plans have been
made for hedges to be planted at
different points in the entire area.
Hedges have already been planted
at the front entrance to the dorms
and more will be planted just as

60 Students Join
Agronomy Society
A special meeting of the Agro
nomy Society was called Tuesday
night for the purpose of initiating
sixty new members into the club.
This was one of the largest groups
initiated at one time in the history
of the Society. Following the ini
tiation of the new members, the
1939 Crops Team gave a report
on the recent inspection trip to
Chicago. The members of the team
were L. L. Jacobs, E. J. Guilloud,
C. G. Powell, and C. G. Ward, all
of whom gave reports of individual
experiences on the trip. The team’s
coach was R. C. Potts of the Agro
nomy Department. After these re
ports had been made hot choco
late and cookies were served. It
was announced that many other
entertaining programs have been
arranged for future meetings.
Mrs. Florence Miller, Denver
marriage-license clerk, looked at
the man in amazement when he
asked for a license to wed his pres
ent wife. “I want to get a license
in each of the forty-eight states
and marry her forty-eight times,”
he explained.
soon as they are available. The
front entrance of the dormitories
will be landscaped in a modified
form to that of the front entrance
of the Administration building.
Recreation grounds will be locat
ed to the north of dorms 3, 5, and 7,
and will be big enough for a full
sized football field in addition to
room for other sports.
The entire landscaping plan for
the area carries a simplicity note
so that as much room as possible
can be provided for the students
and so that convenient means of
access can be provided in all di
rections from the dormitories.

Strong Bid For
Basketball Flag
Texas Christian University won
the Southwest Conference basket
ball championship in 1934—and
has won exactly six conference
games in the five seasons since
then.
This year Coach Mike Brumbe-
low is firm in his belief that the
Frogs will surrender the cellar
spot to some other member.
“We have some boys who can
hit the bucket this year, and we
ought to be able to convert some
of those 2-point losses into vic
tories,” he points out.
Coach Brumbelow has 16 players
on his squad, the largest number
in years. Right now he is plan
ning to use a two-team system, as
he has two combinations of about
equal strength.
The Frogs went into competition
for the first time last Saturday
night in Commerce, against the
strong East Texas Teachers five.
The Centenary Gentlemen will
furnish the opposition for a pair
of games in Shreveport December
15 and 16. Denton Teachers will
be played in Fort Worth Decem
ber 18. During the Christmas hol
idays the Frogs will compete in
the cage tournament in Oklahoma
City.
Their conference season will op
en January 5 against Rice in Hous
ton.
Through no fault of his cousin,
Eloy Valcarcel of Lugos, Spain, is
still alive. Jose Marcos enticed
Eloy to a lonely spot, shot him
through the head, but as he did
not die, threw him over a precipice,
rolled boulders down on him, and
finally fired more shots into his
body.
When Mrs. Alton Jordan at
tempted to draw a pail of water
from a well near her North Caro
lina home, she became faint and
toppled in. During the 45 minutes
elapsing before she was rescued,
a fine healthy son was bom under
water. He owes his life to the
fact that he did not begin breath
ing for some time after birth. He
holds the distinction of being the
only person living known to have
been born at the bottom of a well.
