Duties of Newly
Created Business
Manager Defined
A member of the college staff
to be in charge of financial af
fairs in general is the newly created
position of business manager.
Created with the issuance of the
rules and regulations of the board
of directors for the A. & M. college
of Texas after a board meeting in
April of last year, the new pos
ition was filled by the appoint
ment of E. N. Holmgfreen on
December 31.
The duties of business manager
as stated in the rules and regu
lations give him jurisdiction over
the financial affairs of the fis
cal office, the building and grounds
department, the college utilities,
the A. & M. press, Aggieland Inn,
the Exchange Store, the college
laundry and ice plant, the college
architect, the rent properties, the
college creamery and the dairy

basic military training course for
the first two years of a cadet’s
college career. Only those who are
physically handicapped are exempt
from this training. During the last
two years of a student’s attendance
at A. & M., military training is
optional and a student must pass
certain physical and scholastic re
quirements to be eligible for the
advanced course.
Get Commissions
Upon graduation, cadets who suc
cessfully complete the advanced
course are commissioned as second
lieutenants in the Officers Reserve
corps, thus becoming parts of the
United States army. Once in the
0. R. C., the men have an oppor
tunity to advance in rank in the
same manner as officers in the
regular army. Further than that,
they are eligible to be called for
active duty at any time necessary.
Backbone of A. & M’s huge mil
itary training program are its sev
en branches of the Reserve Of
ficers corps. These branches in
clude the infantry, cavalry, field
artillery, coast artillery, engineer,
signal corps and chemical war
fare regiments.
Manning these seven branches is
a staff of 31 regular army officers
and 55 enlisted men whose job it
is to train the 6500 Texas Aggies
in the various fields of military
science and tactics. Heading this
group of army officers is Lieut.
Col. James A. Watson, commandant
and professor of military science
and tactics.
Airport Program
In addition to the seven regi
ments mentioned above, a civil
aeronautical administration course
(basic and advanced training) has.
been in progress at A. & M. for
two years. Plans now under way
call for a $367,000 construction
program at the A. & M. airport.
Officials of the School of Engineer
ing, headed by Dean Gibb Gilchrist,
recently pointed out that within a
few months an aviation division of
the R. O. T. C. might be added to
the college military set-up.
In the present national defense
himself, was unable to attend the
meeting.
This is the first time in several
years that these societies have as
sembled in the South for their
annual meetings.
In addition to Dr. Paulson and
Dr. Hamilton, others who attended
the four day meeting were H. C.
Bradshaw and A. C. Magee, eco
nomists with the Experiment Sta
tion; D. C. Kennedy Jr. and Joe
R. Motheral, research assistant
with the Experiment Station; Dr.
F. B. Clark, head of the economics
department; I. G. Adams and Dr.
P. L. Gettys, professors of eco
nomics; S. I. Sheldrop, instructor
in economics; H. A. Dulan, instruct
or of accounting and statistics; and
W. E. Morgan, economist with the
Extension Service.

times. Its members are expected
never to double-cross A. & M., but
if a member should be a traitor to
this club or college he will be
kicked out.
“There will be a president, vice
emergency, where units are estab
lished and men are inducted into
service for training by the army,
-facilities for housing, feeding,
health conservation, recreational
services, instruction and training
will be required. Together with 10
phases of training along lines of
military objectives (discussed be
low), the college’s recreational fa-
ficilities and modern hospital are
the key factors which are rapidly
bringing A. & M. into an active
and important part in training
men for national defense purposes.
10 Training Phases
A recent survey made by college
and military officials disclosed that
A. & M. readily offered 10 fields in
which men could be trained in lines
of military endeavor. In many cas
es this training is already under
way. The 10 phases of training
available at A. & M. include:
1. Construction quartermaster.—
In the civil engineering, electrical
engineering and architectural de
partments of the college a school
of instruction is being developed
for men with previous practical ex
perience. If necessary, raw re
cruits who are college graduates
could also be trained in this work.
2. Veterinary corps.—This con
sists of training in the School of
Veterinary Medicine with its hos
pital and staff on medicine, sani
tation and all phases of work as
signed to the veterinary corps.
Headed by Dr. R. P. Marsteller, A.
& M.’s school of veterinary med
icine is the largest in North Amer
ica.
Cooks And Bakers
3. Cooks and bakers.—The two
large mess halls, which make up
the largest single unit eating es
tablishment in the world, and the
staffs of these institutions which
are well trained in volume buying
and mass preparation and service
of food, together with instruction
in meats and chemistry, could
serve as a training ground for this
important work.
4. Finance section.—The college’s
administrative department is
equipped to train men in fiscal
responsibilities.
5. Signal corps and communica
tions.—The laboratories of the elec
trical engineering department and
its technicians are serving to train
men in this field at the present
time.
6. Mechanics. — Mechanics and
supply men for tanks and other
mechanized units are being trained
in the agricultural engineering di
vision of the college. This field is
not nearly taxed to its capacity and
could easily handle a great in
crease in the number of trainees.
Machine Shops.
7. Machinists and aviation me
chanics.—Machine shops, sheet
metal working and all of the other
essentials to the proper training of
aviation mechanics are available.
8. Flight training.—Three air
ports are included in the A. & M.
system at which the C. A. A. has
authorized training.
9. R. O. T. C. units—This is the
college’s principal facility where
the creating of officers in concern
ed.
10. Training in design.—In this
field, now being hard-pushed at
A. & M., specialists are working to
further perfect current designs and
machines.
World War Work
During the World war the college
was staffed by only two regular
army officers, had an enrollment
of less than 1200 students and had
only one regiment of cadet in
fantry, yet furnished more than
2000 commissioned officers to the
army and a greater number of
trained personnel to essential in
dustries.
A survey made by The New York
Times in 1918 showed that A. & M.
furnished a greater proportion of
graduates as commissioned offic
ers to the armed forces of the
United States than any other col
lege or university.
Thus, with a student enrollment
of 11,800 in the main college and
its branches (John Tarleton Agri
cultural College at Stephenville,
North Texas Agricultural College
at Arlington, and Prairie View
State Normal and Industrial Col
lege for negroes, at Prairie View),
with a plant whose parts are stra
tegically located near the principal
centers of population and industry
in Texas, with an organized and
functioning personnel experienced
in working with governmental ag
encies—military and civil, A. & M.
college is striving to do full well
its parts in the national defense
program.

the athletic committee, the experi
ment station committee, and is on
the branch college board. Utay is
a Dallas attorney and has held his
present position for four years.
His vacancy will require an ap
pointment for a four year position.
An appointment for a six year
term on the board will be caused
by the expiration of Lacy’s term.
Lacy, president of the Citizens’
National Bank at Waco, has been
on the Board of Directors for more
than ten years and is now its vice-
president. He is also chairman of
the finance committee and a mem
ber of the executive, athletic, and
auditing committees.
Probably the last meeting of the
present board will be held this
coming Saturday. The other mem
bers are H. L. Kokernot, Alpine;
G. R. White, Brady; Edwin J.
Kiest, Dallas; R. W. Briggs, Pharr,
and A. H. Demke, Stephenville.
There are six normal meetings
of the board each year, but usually
many special meetings are called
during that time. For example, the
board has met three times since

We Erred Concerning
Size of Vanity Fair
Pictures—Here’s How
A correction to the statement
in Saturday’s Battalion concern
ing Vanity Fair Pictures was made
yesterday by Morton Robinson,
managing editor of the Longhorn.
The last issue of the paper stated
that the size of the required pictur
es for Vanity Fair was 5 x 7. It
should have been—one full length
informal 8 x 10 and one bust
formal 8 x 10.
One picture is required for the
senior favorite section. It should
be 5x7, bust, gloss finish.
An entry fee of $3.00 is charged
for Vanity Fair pictures; $1.50 is
the fee set for senior favorites.
All pictures should be given to
Joe Jones in room 101, dormitory
