THE BATTALION
-Page 5
We Need It.
Tradition or common sense?
Thursday night at College Night,
there was a crowd of some 7,500
people present. This crowd extend
ed nearly to the Assembly Hall on
one side and out past the bugle
stand on the other. All of this
mounts up to the cold fact that
the YMCA steps are no longer
large enough to provide adequate
accomodations for the thousands
who will attend yell practice this
year.
If yell practice is to survive, a
new location will have to be pro
vided. That statement was proven
Thursday night.
Texas A. & M. changes and ex
pands from year to year. As a
natural result of this expansion,
the school and its facilities must
expand.
A suggestion was made recently
by Chief yell leader Buster Keeton
that would offer a solution to the
situation. Buster would have the
Senior class note to the corps a
permanent structure which could
be used for all corps meetings as
•well as yell practice.
This structure would be located
on the east side of (juion Hall, af
fording a convenient spot for both
sides of the campus. It would be
well lighted in addition to the use
of the public address system in
Guion Hall.
This new site must be the Aggies’
own. Above all, it must retain all
of the tradition acquired by the Y
steps during its many years of
service.
This new movement deserves
thought and participation upon the
part of every Aggie. Think it over.
Tradition or common sense?
United States farmers have
enough grains in 1940, to produce
78 pounds of pork for every one
of the 132,000,000 people in the
nation or 14 pounds more than
each person at in 1939.
Farm purchases of food in the
United States are estimated to
amount to over $1,100,000,000 per
year.

(Continued from page 1)
Dr. D. W. Harris, who did re
search work this summer on how
to separate cottonseed oil from
the seed extraction rather than by
the old method of pressing, will be
included in the new department.
Dr. Lindsay, Dr. Harris, and Pro
fessor Bishop will teach the chem
ical engineering courses during the
1940-41 session.
Stoichiometry, unit operations,
process chemistry, designs, and
seminar work will be offered this
term. These courses will cover all
phases of the application of phys
ics, chemistry, and mathmatics to
industrial processes. Complete lab
oratories are being outfitted; and
these include a machine shop, a
unit operations laboratory, crush
ing machine laboratory, and stock
rooms and tables. A library is be
ing established, and classrooms
will probably be shared with the
petroleum engineers.
The A. & M. Department of
Chemical Engineering has in the
past been adjudged to be on par
with the best in the country as
far as under-graduate work is con
cerned and will continue to be im
proved as funds are made avail
able.

the position he now holds. He has
been granted a year’s leave of ab
sence to accept the Nicaraguan
professorship and is expected to
return to the college in Septem
ber, 1941.
During World War I, he served
for over four years with the Al
lied military forces overseas and
received decorations from Great
Britain and France for his work
as a military interpreter during
the war and on the Rhine follow
ing the Armistice. He also has re
ceived the Order of the Crown of
Belguim for his writings on Bel
gian agriculture and Merite Agri
cole (France) for similar writings
in that country.
He has been listed in “Who’s
Who in America” since 1922.

through graduation, and with
Eakin went the immediate hopes
of the Ozark school.
The backfied may not have the
right combination for much suc
cess this year, but the end posi
tions are strong and talented. Reg
ulars for the end jobs are Co-
Capt. Howard Hickey, 6 foot, 2
inch, 195 pound senior from
Clarksville, Arkansas, and Mau
rice Britt, 6 foot 3 incch, 195 pound
senior from Lonoke. Rated close
behind is the tallest man on the
club, 216-pound John Freiberger,
from Point, Texas, who towers at
a height of 6 feet 8 inches. His
running mate is O’Neil Adams, 6
foot 3 inch, 195 pound Junior from
Beebe, Arkansas. Even this im
posing list does not finish Thom
sen’s wingmen, for according to
him, the best pass-receiver in his
coaching career, including the fam
ous Jim Benten, is on the club in
the person of Bill Southerland, a
6 foot 3 inch, 180 pound Senior
from Texarkana.
Tackle spots are well-filled by
Jan Carter and Jeff Coates, a pair
of linemen that will be back at
work with their rugged play. Car
ter stands 6 feet 4 inches and
weighs 225 pounds. Coates is an
even 6 feet and tips the scales at
204 pounds.
Filling out the rest of the line
will be Co-Captain A. J. Yates,
187 pound senior from Bentonville,
who is expected to hold down the
left guard berth, and he is teaming
with Milton Simington at right
guard, a 225 pound senior who is
headed for real recognition in the
coming gridiron clashes. Daryl
Cato, a 195 pound junior from
Lonoke who is much the better for
his experience last year, will take
over the center position in fine
shape.
Arkansas is a club that is seem
ingly building for next year, and
although they should be strong on
the defense, their offense is, ac
cording to Thomsen, woefully
weak. The football fans from the
Ozark state are counting on a
bunch of sophomores to come
through with some sort of an at
tack to counteract the power of
their mighty opponents for 1940.
With 1940 feed supplies, and
with pastures improved by conser
vation farming, farmers could pro
vide every person in the nation
with 45 quarts more milk and
cream and 81 pounds more cheese,
butter, ice cream and other man
ufactured dairy products than each
person at in 1939.

two and one-half years and re
ceived the degree of Master of
Business Administration in 1936.
Following graduation he entered
the service of the Edward G. Budd
Manufacturing Company as head
of time study engineering in the
stainless steel division where
1500 workmen were employed. He
was in charge of setting piece
work rates and was accountable
for the earning of the men and
for all labor costs in construction,
of zephyr trains, naval construc
tion, motor freight trailer units,
and other miscellaneous heavy
manufactured articles of the stain
less steel.
While attending school here
Neff received his training in the
Cavalry Reserves.
The courses that are offered in
industrial engineering are new
courses or courses which have been
revised to 1940.
A new method of instruction will
be introduced to some extent in
all courses. This will require the
student to write reports on his
own analysis of actual situations
taken from industry.
Assisting Neff as instructor will
be K. M. Loughmiller, who receiv
ed a B. S. degree in Mechanical
Engineering from Purdue in 1935
and has been an instructor at A.
& M. since 1939. Loughmiller has
spent a number of years in in
dustrial engineering in various
mass production industries.
The industrial engineering de
partment has taken over the in
struction of two courses which
have been previously in the mec
hanical engineering department.
The basic course is offered both
semesters, and is a required course
for all mechanical engineering
students. The other course is train
ing in Time Study engineering.
It is a highly specialized course
in determining production allow
ances by use of the stop watch.
Among the courses being offer
ed for the first time is Industrial
Case Analyzation which is intend
ed for engineering administration
students or those taking fifth year
curricula. The course covers the
analyzation of industrial sutua-
tions.
A practice course which takes
the student through the routine
work of an industrial engineer in
lining up for the manufacturing
of any industrial article is being
offered for those who desire prac
tical work.
A course covering Accounting,
Statastics, Finance, and Marketing
is being offered for fifth year
students and for industrial stud
ents and for industrial engineers
who have been practicing and find
themselves short of essential train
ing. All of the fifth year work and
part of the fourth year work will
consist of a study of analyses
of actual situations taken from in
dustry. In addition to attacking
management problems taken from
actual industrial conditions a stud
ent will be required to decide what
objective he seeks to attain in in
dustry, and will be started upon
a course designed to reach his ob
jective.

Town Hall Reserve
Seat Tickets To Be
On Sale Tuesday
A most unusual occurrence, and
certainly one that speaks well for
Town Hall, was the fact that during
registration Wednesday and Thurs
day upperclassmen bought many
more Town Hall tickets ,than did
the freshmen. This fact speaks well
for the outstanding Town Hall pro
gram this year and indicates that
the senior class’s determination to
support Town Hall to the fullest
extent has had decided results.
Just before the paper went to
press Friday night, it was announc
ed by Paul Haines, student manag
er, that Friday’s ticket sales had
already put total sales far above
last year’s record. For those who
did not get a chance to secure
tickets during registration, it was

In regard to the many inquiries
concerning reserved seats for the
Town Hall programs, it was learn
ed that reserve seat tickets would
go on sale Tuesday morning at
the Y. M. C. A. and at the same
time in Bryan they will be at Wal
drop’s.
With the Marine Band perform
ance only a short time off there
have been many inquiries as to the
type of program that they will of
fer. In a recent letter it was stated
by the Marine Band director, Capt.
Wm. F. Santelman, that a special
program had been arranged pri
marily for A. & M., and that the
type of music that all would en
joy will predominate.
