on the subject of ferns and will give the
outstanding facts on these lower plants.
Dr. LaMotte will explain these and some
thing about their variety, nature and
their importance to plant morphology.
Dr. LaMotte is a native of Bowie, Texas.
He received his B. A. and M. A. degrees

Associated with Petroleum Deposits”.
Dance Season—
(Continued from page 1)
class at C. I. A. responded very
favorably, promising that as many
as possible would accept the in
vitation.
The dance, held in the old mess
hall, begins at nine o’clock and
lasts till twelve. Refreshments,
probably punch and cookies, will
be served.
Since the plans have already
been completed, Marketing and
Finance Club members are assured
a successful dance. All ex-club
members are invited, and present
members may invite one guest. The
dance will be held in the Banquet
Room of the old mess hall from
nine till twelve Friday night.
At this dance there may be
rivalry betwen the professors in
the department and the many rug
cutting Marketing and Finance
majors. The more gray headed
of the department do not believe
that said students have much
chance against members of their
own crew. Of course, this remains
to be seen. Reports have it that
the date problem this year was
solved better than expected.
MARKETING AND FINANCE DANCE
The Marketing and Finance Club dance
will be held Friday night, January 12, in
the banquet room of Sbisa Hall, at 9
o’clock. All club members not having
paid dues may do so at the dance and

school with the sugar bowl, the
committee will present each mem
ber of the squad with a gold foot
ball that will forever mark him
as a member of the nation’s num
ber 1 football team of 1939.
The presentation of the Sugar
Bowl awards will be made by Her
bert Benson, president of the New
Orleans Mid-Winter Sports Asso
ciation. He will be accompanied by
Abe Goldberg, vice-president who
is due to succeed Mr. Benson as
head of the association; Hap Reilly,
publicity chairman of the commit
tee; Fred Digby, sports editor of
the New Orleans Item-Tribune,
one of the original Sugar Bowlers;
Warren Miller, first Sugar Bowl
president and organizer; Clarence
Straus, secretary of the commit
tee; and Joseph David, treasurer.
The banquet following the Kyle
Field ceremony is open to the pub
lic, and reservations should be
made not later than January 25
through Colonel Ike Ashburn.
Those in charge of the banquet
expect some 1,500 to attend the
banquet to see the victorious Ag
gies recieve their awards, and are
laying plans to accommodate that
number. It will be held in the old
mess hall, and tickets can be pur
chased at Colonel Ashburn’s office
for $1.00. The spirit of the din
ner will be to express the appre
ciation of A. & M. College for the
fine performance of the coaches
and team.
Colonel Ashburn will act as
toastmaster. The principal, in
fact the only speech, will be made
by Dr. F. M. Law, president of
the Board of Directors, in the ab
sence of Dr. T. 0. Walton.
Music for the program will be
furnished by the Aggieland Or
chestra and by members of the
Glee Club.
The football boys have been giv
en the privilege of inviting parents
and dates to see them receive
their awards. Among these awards
will be the Bert Pfaff trophy for
the best blocker and awards pre
sented by the Aggieland Pharmacy
and by Lipscomb Pharmacy to the
captain and to the most valuable
man. Lettermen will receive
medals if it is their first letter
and bars if for more than one
year. This year the team will re
ceive gold footballs as conference
champions. Homer Norton will
announce the winners of the covet
ed “T”, and Dean Kyle will award
the medals and bars. Other awards
will be made by the donors of the
special gifts. All-American recog
nition will be made by Joe Utay,
chairman of the athletic commit
tee on the Board of Directors.
Surprise awards are in the offing,
and the lucky recipients probably
will need assistance in carrying
all of the presents that an ap
preciative school, alumni and
friends shower upon them.
Police of Columbia, S. C., are
looking for a goofy burglar who
stole a coat, a curtain and a vic-
trola from a house in that city.
Then, either through absent-mind
edness or fright, he left his pistol
behind when he escaped with the
loot.
Only human tracks were visible
from a spot where a cow was stol
en in Orangesburg, S. C., but a
policeman followed them and ar
rested a suspect who admitted he
had put shoes on the cow to mis
lead pursuers.

This year the Agronomy Society
plans to have a leading business
house in Texas put on the style
show. A completely new floor
show with new talent will also be
featured.
Proof of the quality of the style
show and pageant is the noticeable
amount of national recognition
they have received by virtue of
past performances. Many import
ant figures will attend this year’s
festivities. Among them will be
Oscar Johnson, president of
the National Cotton Council. He
has consented to crown the king.
Mr. Johnson, who has an inter
national as well as national repu
tation, is also president and direc
tor of the world’s largest cotton
plantation, the Delta and Pine Land
Company of Scott, Mississippi.
As usual the profits from the
festivities wil be used to send three
Agronomy seniors, selected by com
petitive examinations, on a tour
of foreign countries.
NEW FISH AND
GAME COURSE
TO BE OFFERED
Elective Course To Teach
Game, Fish Conservation
The Fish and Game department
will offer a new course on fish
and game starting with the second
semester according to notices re
leased by the department recently.
The course will be offered to stu
dents not majoring in this field,
but who desire to know something
about these subjects.
The new course will be known as
Fish and Game 406. It will consti
tute a survey of principles of fish
and game development. Attention
will be given to national problems
and public policy in the wildlife
field as related to conservation and
development of soils, water, range
resources, forest and farm lands.
Special emphasis will be placed on
the need for food and cover if
wildlife resources are to be main
tained and increased. The course
is designed to give a sound but not
too detailed insight into wildlife
problems to students in engineer
ing, arts and sciences, veterinary
medicine and various departments
in the school of agriculture.
The course will not be open to
majors in fish and game. Only
juniors, seniors and graduates in
other departments will be admit
ted. It is felt that every community
leader and indeed all intelligent
citizens should know something
about the important problems in
wildlife conservation that are up
for solution, and the new course
should assist interested students to
secure the requisite information
and insight.
Virginia snakes just can’t take
it, it seems. A poisonous copper
head bit J. B. Cash twice and then
fell dead. Cash cleaned the bitten
places with kerosene and lived.

Houston, Texas, Mar. 11 to 20.
