FRESHMAN ENGINEERING STUDENTS
Each year quite a number of freshmen
enroll in the School of Engineering whose
scholastic preparation is not sufficient to
enable them, even with earnest and faith
ful study, to pass the freshman work in
engineering.
John Tarleton Agricultural College at
Stephenville, a branch of this institution,
by reason of its endowment, is required to
offer not only the first two years of col
lege grade work, but also the last two
years of high school work. In the past few
years many students who have not had
adequate preparation for college work in
engineering have transferred to John
Tarleton, but it has been necessary that
they wait until February to enter. At John
Tarleton students can take courses of
senior high school level and it has been
found that students who applied them
selves have been able to return to A. & M.
with the essential basic training.
Arrangements have now been made for
students who desire to do so and who are
recommended by the Dean of Engineering
at A. & M. to transfer to John Tarleton
immediately after the November 15th
grades are received and classes will be
formed for them at that institution in
order that they may go right into basic
courses, particularly mathematics and Eng
lish. In addition, students having passing
grades in engineering drawing with plates
all in, and in military science, will be al
lowed to go into the college grade classes
in those subjects. Dean J. Thos. Davis at
Tarleton will be glad to go over the record
of each transfer student individually and
advise with him as to which basic courses
he should carry and which college courses
he should retain.
It would be well for any freshman en-

Owls Will—
(Continued from Page 3)
set to run into plenty of oppos
ition.
No longer an upset team because
of numerous so-called upsets this
fall, but an actual title contender,
Rice has mastered Neely’s con
sistent win system that began at
Clemson and they will be a tough
assignment for Kimbrough and
crew. Playing an old fashioned
game that calls for expert block
ing and tackling, the Wise Fowl
have turned the Aggie game into
a contest between two teams with
an equal chance of clinching the
bunting.
Aggieland will be filled to ov
erflowing by game time I when
25,000 fans file into Kyle Field to
become witnesses of gridiron his
tory. This will be the last showing
of A. & M.’s thundering aggre
gation until the traditional Turkey
Day tilt in Austin with Texas Un
iversity and A. & M. is due to open
up with the big guns against the
boys from the Institute.
Corps Trip—
(Continued from Page 1)
rained out this event.
The situation looked rather for
lorn as the clouds continued to
darken, but after noon the fates’
frown changed to a smile and the
rain ceased. Then it was that all
roads lead to Ownby Stadium. Mud
and slush offered only a minor
barrier as the crowd surged into
the stands midst the din of noise
and the wails of “scalpers” be
moaning the fact that they had
sold their tickets so cheaply that
morning.
Little did the people expect the
excitement that was to follow when
the two hitherto undefeated teams
met for the game that would de
cide which was to lead the con
ference. But thrills and spills were
plentiful when the end zone bleach
ers collapsed under a seething mass
of humans. This occurrence which
would have been ordinarily spec
tacular caused a short lived mur
mur to arise from the stands and
then all attention reverted to the
teams. Here and there could be
heard a sigh of thankfulness that
it did not occur where they were
standing and with the character
istic human traits the incident was
dismissed from mind.
For the first time a great many
of the students got an idea of how
the corps can “give” when the
team is in a trying position. No
urging was necessary to induce
the corps to burst forth in a shat
tering roar when the ball was
snapped. Nor were the Aggies a »
lone in their yelling for the T.S.
The “Machine"—

of the MACHINE that their or
ganization will become some sort
of a tradition in the band.
Those men constituting the MA
CHINE or Who’s Who in Brazos
County Night Clubs and Honky-
Tonks are as follows (in alpha
betical order):
ANDERSON, M. B. “Andy”, a
short little fellow from Beaumont
that has an uncanny knack of turn
ing up in more places in one night
than a process server. Senior 1 .
Would be in the Scholarship Honor
Society if they weren’t so particu
lar about their requirements.
ADKISON, J. W. “Jay”, cot
ton top from Greenville. Junior.
Will get out in '50 is he’s lucky
but we aren’t making any predic
tions.
MERRILL, W. H. Jr. “Henk”,
a real “hustler” from Greenville.
Senior. Seems to have a heavy
schedule of extra curricular activ
ities down Austin way. One of the
most likeable fellows in the MA
CHINE.
MERRILL, W. C. “Dillum Char
les”, an indiscriminate “heart-
breaker” also from Greenville. Very
quiet and reserved until riled and
then he’s a “going dog.” Junior.
NELSON, L. J. “Meatball”, the
military man of the MACHINE
from Gilmer. Social Secretary Sen
ior Class. A very nice guy to have
around, especially when there are
things to be done.
NELSON, T. M. “Tommie”, the
current vocal sensation of the Ag
gieland orchestra from Waco. Very
allergic to flying bread in the mess
hall. Senior.
NESS, L. P. “Trigger”, a long,
lanky, Latin type from New York
City. Very popular with the “Cats”
because of his quick action. Sen
ior. Can be found on the floor at
any Corps dance.
NOEL, P. C. “Cluny”, a hand
some devil from Memphis. Just
can’t keep the women out of his
curly hair. Senior. Still thinks he
can beat the “tables” but is learn
ing the hard way.
POULTER, C. J. “Doc”, rough
character from the wool country—
San Angelo. Senior. Always at
home in his cowboy boots and
Stetson.
WINN, W. S. “Breeze”, a flying
enthusiast from Sweetwater. Sen
ior. Also has considerable trouble
with his women. Always starving
to death in the mess hall no mat
ter where he sits.

modern chemical research, second,
the timing or cycle of years dur
ing which a laboratory discovery
takes shape and begins to exert
its explosive force on different^ in
dustries, and third, the multitude
of different products and manu
factures, both the old and famil
iar and the new and undreamed of
products.
Texas is vitally interested in ar
tificial rubber because of her vast
natural gas resources, and be
cause of the chemical possibility
of using natural gas and refinery
tail gases to produce acetylene—
the veritable mother of artificial
rubber and a host of other sny-
thetics. The neoprene process util
izes coal and limestone to produce
carbide, which in turn produces the
necessary acetylene when treated
with water.
This new sound motion picture
tells the story of one of the new
artificial rubbers that is being
used to replace natural rubber in
a great many products essential to
our national welfare. This time

how the artificial rubber is made,

means of animated cartoons, shows

ment between the two student
bodies
“I think the move made by you
and your student body is a won
derful thing as it is another ex
ample of the true sportsmanship
that has always been characteris
tic of A. & M. College.”
To the officials officiating at
the game he wrote, “I think that
this is a wonderful gesture on the
part of both A. & M. College and
Southern Methodist University, and
this is an example of the type of
sportsmanship that makes college
athletics in the Southwest Athle
tic Conference a great factor in
building citizenship.”
Mr. St Clair is the executive
secretary of the Southwest Athle
tic Conference and is in charge of
the employment of the officials.
Limb Collapses Again;
Heroes Prove Praises
Yesterday the Armistice service
seemed to lack a certain feeling
that heretofore has been present
on the campus each November 11.
At 11 o’clock most of the profs
either questioned the type of ob
servance or made a few remarks
as to the date. In their life the day
is one long remembered. To most
of us the day is beginning to mean
less and less.
Yet, still in the United States
football on the gridiron is the only
sign of war while across the great
pond bombs drop on innocent wo
men and children as the powers
to be fight on.
The predictions this past Satur
day fell again.
Texas took the Baylor Bears
but Rice ran through Arkansas in
the Ozarks.
We didn’t call the T. C. U.-De-
troit fray but had it down as the
Frog’s game. The Detroiters kick
ed a field goal in the final quarter
to win 3 to 0.
Over the country Notre Dame
sank the Navy after a hard fight,
Stanford topped Washington, Au
burn defeated Clemson and Ala
bama dammed the Tulane Green
Wave. These were called correct.
On the other side, Oregon took an
other, this time from the hard
luck U.C.L.A. Bruins, and Min
nesota eaked a one point win over
Michigan.
C.W. girls did their share of ad
ding an unusual touch to the yell
ing section.
At the half there was the Ag
gies’ 216 piece band to furnish
thrills to the crowd with their
complicated formations and play
ing. Heading the band was “Rev”
who made her first appearance of
the year, and who, for the first
time appeared on the field with
another of the campus mascots.
The “Sister School” furnished its
share of attraction at the half
when Mary Margaret McCarthy,
Aggie Sweetheart of the day, was
presented in a heart shaped forma
tion made by the band.
Not soon to be forgotten are
the reverbrating yells that rolled
from the Aggie stands as the lad
in the maroon and white jersey
smothered the ball behind the Mus
tang goal to cinch the game and
climax the week-end.
Addition of 23 new teaching posts
at the University of Texas brings
the faculty strength to 584.
Club Schedule—
(Continued from Page 1)
Council, Freshman Y.M.C.A. Coun
cil and Sophomore Y.M.C.A. Coun
cil will meet.
Each Wednesday all Class Meet
ings, if and when the classes so
desire, and Jr. and Sr. Y.M.C.A.
Council will meet.
On the first and third Thursdays
of each month the Engineering
clubs and Agricultural Clubs will
convene. On the second and fourth
Thursdays the Agronomy Society,
Liberal Arts clubs, Industrial Ed
ucation clubs and Veterinary clubs
will meet.
The Scholarship Honor Society
and Hillel Club will meet on Fri
days.
On Sundays the Cosmopolitan
Club and Church Organizations
will meet.
This schedule has been compiled
from the information submitted by
the club president. It will be turn
ed over to the Student Activity
Committee for official sanction af
ter which time each club will be
required to comply with their pro
per meeting date and obtain a list
for possible meeting places.
SMU Game-
icon tinued from Page 3)
ling was right on the spot to re
cover for the Aggies. Conatser and
Kimbrough brought the ball down
to the Mustang three on a succes
sion of plays and it was on the
next play that Kimbrough lost the
ball and SMU took over. Malluff’s
attempt to kick out was blocked
by Jim Thomason and recovered
by Jim Sterling to make the score
19-7 for the Aggies. Pugh missed
his second conversion of the game
and it was here that the scoring
stopped.
The last play of the game was
a kick from Conaster to Brown and
time ended as the tackle was made
to end the most exciting game of
the Southwest Conference.
and pictures hundreds of applica
tions of products made from it.
The material itself, made from
coal, limestone, salt, and water, can
be used wherever rubber is used,
but has the additional advantage
of being resistant to cracking from
sunlight, ozone, and aging. It will
not swell or deteriorate rapidly
from contact with vegetable or
mineral oils and most chemicals,
nor will it soften or harden appre
ciably when exposed to high tem
peratures.
Science Meet—
(Continued from Page 1)
Besides the newly elected posi
tions mentioned above there were
several hold overs from last year.
Dr. Burt remains as the secretary
of the academy and secretary of
the board of directors and member
of the program and finance com
mittees. Dr. George E. Potter re
tained his place on the committee
for the collegiate division and Dr.
S. W. Bilsing is still a member of
the executive committee and was
elected chairman of arrangements
for the next meeting in Dallas.
In the collegiate division Deed
C. Thurman, junior of A company,
infantry, won second prize of $15
for the paper he presented on the
nut case bearer. Thurman, repre
senting the entomology branch of
the United Science Club was only
one of five Aggies to be at the
convention. Other representatives
were Bob Crawford, Bob Ram
sey, P. B. Uzell, and Linton Rob
ertson.
The national meeting of the
-TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1940
American Association will be held
in Dallas in December, 1941, with
the Texas Academy acting as the
host organization. This will be one
of the few times that the national
society has met south of the Mason-
Dixon line. Dr. Bilsing is perhaps
the one to whom most of the credit
can be given for this development.
