Duerr, chairman of the scholarship' com mittee of the conference, showed that for the tenth successive year fraternity men had surpassed non fraternity students in scholarship in 178 American colleges and uni versities. A total of 86,132 under graduate fraternity men in 2,338 chapters were included in the scholastic record. “This exemplifies one of the real values of fraternity to the educa tional institutions: it furnishes a cohesive and interacting group which can be made responsive to any influence brought to bear on its members, a fulcrum altogether missing in the relations that facul ty and administration have with non-fraternity men,” Mr. Duerr said. Pistol Team— (Continued from page 1) the Bayou Club. You will notice it back in the glass case in the Academic Building. To keep the boys in practice and on their toes, Captain Enslow requires them to fire competition among themselves to decide which of them will compose the team for the week. Six men compose a team, five of them to shoot and one reserve. One of the good points about the pistol team is that it can fire matches with schools all over the country and never leave school or miss a day’s classes. The two schools in competition agree to fire on a certain day and compare scores. A member of each fac ulty acts as witness and each mails the other the results. But the boys do get to make trips. This year the boys have accepted invitations to Galveston, Houston, and to Austin to fire against the State Police; and have already de feated the State Police, recaptured the Kaufman Trophy and taken a number of medals. Last year the team encountered 21 colleges and universities throughout the nation, defeating 20 of that number. This year the team has again challenged these teams and a few more besides. Their schedule for the next few months, as far as it is completed, runs as follows: Week ending February 24— Pennsylvania State College, Ohio State University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University. Week ending March 2—Illinois University, Arkansas State College. Xavier University. Week endnig March 9—Cornell University, Eastern Kentucky State Teachers College. Week ending March 16—Yale University, Colorado State College, Purdue University. Week ending March 23—Okla homa University. Week ending March 30—St. Bonaventure College. Week ending April 6—Iowa State College. Week ending April 13—Michi gan State College, University of Utah. Week ending April 27—Univer- city of Wisconsin. Also deserving of praise is the little-mentioned freshman team, which shoots every week just as does the varsity, and has the pos sibility of shooting fully well. The following named men have been deemed eligible to fire on the freshman squad: F. D. Albritton, J. T. Chapman, R. T. Cook, J. E. Handy, J. G. Korman, T. K. Pierce, J. L. Robertson, G. R. Thenn. Traveling Aggies— (Continued from page 1) On arriving at the camp, we were greeted by about twenty Arabs with their “Siedas” which means hello, good morning, good night, or goodby in Arabic. The twenty Arabs, we later found out, were our cook, waiters, drivers, rodmen, and general flunkies. We had trouble training the drivers and rodmen to be much help, but later they did well enough. While camped near Suez we would take a sail boat across the canal to Port Tauf ic and then take a train into Suez and see an American movie. The talking at the movies would of course be in English, but a screen to one side carried the dialog in Arabic, French, and Greek. Egypt is a very cosmopolitan country. There are people from every country here and conse quently every language is spoken. Most everyone knows at least three languages; fortunately English is one of them. Languages as they are spoken most are Arabic, Eng lish, French, Greek, German, and occasionally Russian. One of the George Barnes, Former Aggie Gridiron Star, Heads Fort Worth Baby Beef Show George W. Barnes has spent more than a quarter of a century striving to improve beef cattle in the Southwest. The fruits of his work are shown each year at the Southwestern Exposition and Fat Stock Show and every day on the ranges of the cattle country. Since 1923, Barnes has been cat tle specialist with the Extension Service of Texas A. & M. A year after joining the extension staff, Barnes became superintendent of the boys’ baby beef show at the exposition. In that connection his work is with the farm boys who will be the adult exhibitors at livestock shows tomorrow. “The 1940 show will have some of the best calves the 4-H Club boys have ever exhibited,” Barnes has informed the show manage ment. “Last year many visitors made the remark that the boys’ beef show could not be improved upon, but I do believe that it will be better than ever this year.” Barnes is a native of Coleman County and a graduate of Texas A. & M. He was a member of the extension service staff of Okla homa A. & M. from 1912 to 1914. The following two years he was with the extension service of the University of Arizona. From 1916 to 1923 he was manager of the Perrin Land and Cattle Company of Seligman, Arizona. Europeans working with us spoke these seven languages besides be ing an electrical engineer. During our work along the canal we worked the old World War battlefields and found the remains of the old trenches and great masses of barbed wire entangle ments, also thousands of duds. One of our California boys, a con firmed pacifist, brought in a cou ple of 155 mm. duds. He had load ed them into a pick-up and bounced over fifteen or twenty miles of rough sand!

When a student at A. & M., Barnes was a star football player in the position of right tackle. His friends remember him as a stal wart of the gridiron back in the days when brawn counted for more than deceptive plays. MEN! Are you interested in a GOOD HAIR CUT?
