PLACEMENT BUREAU Association of Former Student AERONAUTICAL AND MARINE ENGINEERING We contemplate offering to June grad uates ten or twelve weeks’ training in both Aeronautical Engineering and Ma rine Engineering — Naval Architecture.

These forms may be obtained at my office or at the office of the head of any engineering department.

Both coach Bible and Dr. Dolley complimented the Aggies for their display of self-restraint in the face of severe provocation, and both men declared they hoped' that the athletic supporters of both institutions would leave fu ture score to be settled on the field of play and not in the grand stands.

Buyers are buying equi ties for the first time since the cotton began going into the government loan in 1938. (The buy ers are realizing a good profit off these equities. “Supply of cotton has become secondary to demand. The United States will consume 12,000,000 bal es of cotton between August 1941 and July 1942, while exports for this period will be only 1,000,000 bales. “The universal cotton standards are made up by representatives from nine foreign countries and the United States. After arguing for several days, these men finally agreed on how a standard for a certain grade should look, then it is followed universally. There are two ends of the cotton business; first, the office which includes bookkeeping, hedging transactions, straddling (between markets and mouths), making bills of lading, drawing drafts and other things that mature. Then secondly, there is the end which takes care of the actual buying, selling, classing, satisfying the customer and things of that nature. “A cotton man is like a college professor in that it takes him at least four years to get any place after he starts,” Taylor mused at the close of his speech. be said about the budget. You’ll make your own interpretation any way and argue with somebody whether this or that item is too big or too small. Just don’t forget when you get to your post and the bills start piling up that the War department said that you shouldnft spend more than what you make. That should be a great consolation.

Infantry Budget— (Continued from Page 1) of the* items will vary greatly with the individual. On the miscellan eous expenditures which is given $6 per month on the budget you can save that money if you don’t give to charity, don’t got to church, and don’t do any reading. If the truth were to be known you would probably go to church but omit the contribution; and you would probably get all your magazines from somebody elses tent. Well, that’s about all that can TO THE SENIORS: The approaching close of school brings to mind the fact that many close friendships will soon be interrupted, but we hope that the pleasures we have shared together will not be forgotten. We have enjoyed our relation ships with you and we do not want these to end. With the purchase of life insurance from the Seaboard, you have purchased service throughout the lifetime of the policy and we hope that yon will avail yourselves of the op portunity to use this service. When we can be of help to you, please drop us a line. We wish you success and good fortune in the future.
