GEO. STEPHAN, Pres. PAULSON SPEAKS IN CONNECTION WITH AG COURSE “All students of agriculture should have an understanding of the economics of cooperative pur chasing and marketing,” declared Dr. W. E. Paulson, marketing re search specialist for the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, in an address recently before jun iors in the Department of Agri cultural Economics. This was the third in'a series of nine addresses arranged by the Department of Agricultural Eco nomics in connection with the de partment’s course on “Principles and Practices of Cooperation.” Dr. Paulson discussed the growth of the farmers cooperative move ment, particularly in Texas, and pointed out some of the specific problems of associations handling such commodities as fruits and vegetables and turkeys and in ren dering such services as ginning of cotton and packing of fruits and vegetables. He also emphasized that it is the function of the Agri cultural Experiment Station to gather information relative to the organization and operation of co operatives that will lead to more efficient management by associa tions. ENTOMOLOGY STUDENTS TELL OF SUMMER WORK A short business meeting was scheduled for the regular meeting of the Entomology Club re cently which was finished early enough to allow several members to give interesting talks of their work during the summer. The speakers were D. C. Earley, “Pink Boll Worm Infestation in the Val ley”; J. E. Gillaspy, “Description of the Experiment Station at Waco and its Work”; H. L. Clearman, “Grasshopper Control in the Pan handle of Texas”; and J. R. Mc Cann told about his work with the Sweetwater Cotton and Oil Com pany. As a committee representing the’ 6-000-strong student body of Texas A. & M. College, Cadet Colonel D. B. “Woody” Varner, Senior Presi dent Max McCullar, Head Yell- Leader F. A. “Bodie” Pierce, Bat talion Editor Bill Murray, Junior President Ele Baggett, Sophomore President Willard Clark, and Freshman President Frank Young met Friday afternoon in regard to the A. & M. “highwaying” situa tion, and concurred in making the following statement, which is re peated in The Battalion for the benefit of the student body and is. being mailed out by The Battalion through the Publicity Office to all the leading newspapers of the state for publication: “In a few days hundreds of Tex as Aggie cadets will hit the high ways and byways of Texas head ed home for Christmas. For years Aggies have been ‘highwaying,’ because this.mode of travel is in expensive (in keeping with the average Aggies’ pocketbook) and because it affords the best chance in the world for the boys to make outside contacts, both of a social and a business nature. “Aggie highwaying traditions have been handed down from class to class ever since the horse and buggy and muddy roads were re placed by the automobile and con crete highways. The training giv en each A. & M. ‘fish’ is based on a code of ethics which insists that each cadet await his turn in line for a ride, no matter how many may be ahead of him. There is no rushing of the car offering to pick up those first in line. “Following the code, each Aggie promptly introduces himself to those with whom he is riding. An Aggie at all times is courteous" and polite, does not smoke without permission; is ready to “spell” the driver at the wheel and to help in the care of the automobile; and observes at all times the time- proven rule of gentlemanly con duct. “Few are the Aggies who violate these customs. Those few who do are by no means representative of or respected by the A. & M. stu dent body. “Motorists who are able to help Aggies on their way home are asked by this committee represent ing the student body to give the boys a lift, if at all possible. If any driver picks up an Aggie who acts ungentlemanly, please report that case to us. But we feel sure that the great majority will make suitable traveling companions.” Tickets On Sale— (Continued from page 1) leave their names with Max Mc Cullar at College 129.

The “Aggie” section is in the south end and the Tulane section will be in the north end. Although the seats will be behind the goal-posts, they will offer a fine view as the bowl is built close behind the end zone. As a city, New Orleans ranks first in population among the cities of the South. It offers numerous means of recreation and is noted for its historic and ro mantic charm. Bill Cunningham of the Boston Post has the fol lowing to say in regard to New Orleans: “There are those who undoubtedly would call New Or leans a wild and wicked city, com parable to Sodom, Gomorrah or the carnal creations of the degenerate Caesars. There are others who can and do call it one of the most delightful cities certainly on this continent, if not in the entire world. It’s a matter of interpretation and the unit of measure is the indi vidual. “The city, itself, is everything, and it offers everything—the good, the bad; the chaste, the sinful; the beautiful, the drab; the inspir ing, the repulsive. If a man wants to make an ape of himself, there are plenty of places and people to help him. If, on he other hand, he wants to enrich his experience and his knowledge in matters cul tural, artistic, historical and even Corporation Court— (Continued from page 1) such assemblies are neglected be cause of obvious hindrances which are present in the inauguration and the development of such a law- enforcing body in a newly incorpo rated city. The meetings contain a great deal of informality and looseness, and still retain that leg ality and seriousness that goes to make them official, binding, and authoritative. The past four trials required an average time of five minutes apiece. The owners of the cabs appeared, waived trial by jury, were found guilty, paid their fines and departed.

Smart people don’t flunk out.” Any ‘LAST MINUTE’ GIFT Requirements?
