Candidates— (Continued from page 1) much energy to the extensive study of books dealing with the problems of publishing a news paper. It is true that my name has not often been attached to articles appearing in The Battalion. But I have been working for the good of the newspaper rather than aim ing at personal publicity. For you have read numerous of my articles without knowing their author— articles of which I have kept rec ords that may be seen by those interested. I feel entirely capable of filling the position of editor to the utmost good of the school. And having a 2.13 grade point average with no grade less than “C,” I shall not be hampered in my duties by scholastic difficulties. Until Tuesday night’s yell prac tice when I shall present my plans for next year’s Battalion, I will deeply appreciate your considera tion and support of me for your next Battalion editor. A. J. ROBINSON. STATEMENT BY BING For Junior Representative In seeking the office of junior class representative on the Stu dent Publications Board I am fully aware of the responsibilities that office holds. However, with my experience on the publications and my knowledge of problems that continually confront them, I be lieve that I am well qualified to serve in that capacity. If the student body sees fit to put me in office, I shall do every thing in my power to improve the existing conditions of the student publications, since I am primarily interested in seeing that all cam pus organizations, whether they be large or small, have ready ac cess to the columns of the press. ROLAND BING. STATEMENT BY GILLIS For Junior Representative On the Student Publications Board, the students’ representa tives must present vigorous and firm support to all policies and plans which will benefit the stu dents of A. & M. College. By using sound judgment based on exper ience in working on publications, I will extend my energies toward making our student publication policies truly representative for the greatest good of our school, and help formulate such policies as will benefit both the student publications and the students. TOM GILLIS. FOUND—The Registrar’s Office has in its possession a sweater lost by an Ag gie who lives at Ardmore, Oklahoma. The sweater was left in the car of M. Baker may Registrar’s Office and identifying Election— (Continued from page 1) Said George when he learned of his disqualifications: “I feared it was coming. I re alize now that I was careless in cutting classes to work on The Battalion, because it lowered my grade-point average too much. But there’s nothing to do now except to be a good sport and hope that I can work in some position on The Battalion next term.” Bob Nisbet and Robinson have been active as junior editors of The Battalion newspaper and magazine this year. Both have been news and feature writers for the newspaper and short-story writers for both publications. Nis- bet’s work has also included the “Movie Review” column for the newspaper and magazine. • At the Publications Board meet ing Thursday, Bill Murray, Bat talion editor, moved that the elec tion rules which state that The Battalion editor shall supervise the election, be amended so that the Student Election Committee might be in complete charge. This amendment was adopted, and it is now the rule that the Student Election Committee will have supervision over this forth coming general election (Wednes day) as well as over all other elections of the student body. Arrangements for the election will be made by the committee, and any question or protest that may arise at any time regarding politics and elections should be brought before it. The Student Election Committee will hold an important meeting to consider the methods for holding the election, Monday afternoon at 4:00 o’clock in the Administration Building, chairman D. B. “Woody” Varner has announced. This committee each year is composed of the cadet colonel as chairman, the president of the sen ior class, the vice-president of each of the four classes, the manager of student activities (E. L. Angell), and the Registrar (E. J. Howell), with Dean Bolton as adviser. Purpose of the committee is “to provide a definite plan under which the student body may conduct its elections and especially to provide a recognized method of supervis ing elections, settling questions and appeals arising in connection with them.” • Following this committee meet ing a drawing will be held in The Battalion Office, at 5:00 Monday, to determine the order of the can didates on the ballot. All candidates are asked to be present or send representatives. • A number of other questions of importance were brought up at the Publications Board meeting Thursday. The board adopted the Housing Authority Lectures to Students The Department of Architecture is sponsoring a series of lectures by Langdon Post, national housing authority this week. His first lec ture was given yesterday and the second will be given this morning. Mr. Post was formerly Tenement House Commissioner of New York City and chairman of the New York City Housing Authority, and is the author of “The Challenge of Housing”, which is one of the most significant of the recent books on housing. He is now traveling through Texas for a series of lec tures and conferences with local housing authorities. Friday morning Mr. Post con ferred with the fifth-year architect ure students who are now making a study of housing for Bryan. Fri day afternoon he delivered a lec ture in the Department of Archi tecture, and last night he gave a public lecture sponsored by the Brazos County Young Men’s Civic League. This morning Mr. Post will speak to several groups of students in cluding Professor E. W. Steel’s classes in City Management. Life Saving Classes Begin Monday Night Starting Monday evening at 7:30 p. m. classes in life saving will start, according to information re leased by swimming coach, Art Adamson.

Every member of the board was present, including Dean Bolton, chairman; E. L. Angell, student publications manager; Professor George Wilcox, and Colonel Ike Ashburn; and George Smith, D. B. Varner, Bill Murray, Ernie Mey- nard, Mick Williams, and Paul Haines. The faculty members of the board were enthusiastic in their praise of the work done by the various publications during the present session. Harvard University has an 85- ton cyclotron capable of produc ing atomic projectiles of 11,000,- 000 volts energy. Water Supply— (Continued from page 1) ble is that it has no taste at all, and in comparison to the old water the taste is different. They for get how long it took them to “get used” to drinking the old water; it will take just about as long to get “unused” to drinking it. Planning and speculation on the drilling of new wells and the pur chasing of new water-supply equipment was started several years ago, but the actual job start ed December 28, 1938. Two con cerns were awarded contracts for construction of the new system. The Texas Automatic Sprinkler ■Company of Dallas laid the lines and built the reservoirs, and the Layne-Texas Company of Houston had charge of drilling the wells. Approximately total cost amount ed to $450,000, of which $200,000 was covered by a grant from the government. The entire supply system com prises three deep wells and one test well, drilling 3,000 feet apart. They vary in depth from 400 to 600 feet deep. All four wells pump into a small reservoir at the site of the unit. north of Bryan. The main reservoir is in the city of Bryan at the extreme north end of main street. This reservoir has a capacity of 3,250,000 gallons. There are approximately 3,500 cubic yards of concrete in the two reservoirs, 12,000 cubic yards of structural excavation, and 629,000 pounds of reinforcing steel. But in the pipe lines there were required 125 tons of cast iron fittings. The new water enters the col lege grounds near the present power plant through a Venturi meter and an automatic altitude valve. From there it is pumped into the elevated. steel water tank to be distribtued to various points in College Station. -SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1940 Poultry Majors To Visit South Texas In the last 19 years, the Rose Bowl football game has drawn a total gate of approximately $5,- 700,000. ally when one notices that Bryan founding will be celebrated by the University of Chicago in 1941.
