A survey recently conducted re
vealed that the percentage of those
that have taken the C. P. T. course
and “washed out” of the Army or
Navy Air Corps is much lower than
the percentage of those who have
had no previous flying instruc
tion.
Any men interested in going in
the Army or Navy Air Corps and
desirous of improving their oppor

Marine Engineering
Now Senior Elective
A new course in marine engin
eering and naval architecture has
been started with an enrollment of
24 men who are taking it as a Sen
ior elective. Most of these students
are majoring in mechanical engi
neering. ^
This course, listed as M.E. 448, is
taught by Professor A. V. Brewer.
It will be similar to the defense
course in marine engineering that
will be started in Beaumont in the
near future.
—DIMMITT—
(Continued from Page 3)
through 1934, Dimmitt built him
self a record at Beaumont 1 that
hasn’t been equalled to this day.
He won five football champion
ships, went to the bi-district twice,
quarter-finals twice, and once to
the finals.
“Abilene scored two touchdowns
in the last five minutes of play
to beat us in the finals of ’32,”
said Dimmitt, “and that was my
greatest heartbreaker.”
As for basketball, Dimmitt’s
cage teams won five district cham
pionships and one state crown in
1925. His track teams won four
championships.
“Those eleven years were my
happinest,” added Dimmitt.
Came to A. & M. in ’35
Coming here in 1935, Lil has
served as freshman baseball and
basketball coach and trainer. Re
cently, he was appointed as Head
Varsity Baseball coach by Homer
Norton.
“My years at A. & M. have been
very happy ones, and I plan to stay
here as long as they want me,”
Lil commented.
As for his private life, his
hobbies consist primarily of “pok
ing fun at the football officials,
especially Ab Curtis.” Next in
line comes fishing and golf, and
after that some good “ole” sleep.
And that’s the story of Lil Dim
mitt—a name that is well-known
in this wide state of Texas. Not
much is said about him around
here, because he is not in the pub
lic eye. He goes about his busi
ness by taking care of Aggie Ath
letes—whether they have a broken
bone or just plain athlete’s foot.
A great man and a great trainer

Ashton Writes
Hereford Journal
Article for January
Dr. John Ashton of the A. &
M. Rural Sociology Department
submitted a feature article to the
American Hereford Journal which
was printed in the January issue.
Dr. Ashton gained information
for his article in a recent visit
he paid to the headquarters of
the Matador Land and Cattle Com
pany in Cottle and Motley coun
ties. Dr. Ashton also unearthed
interesting historical facts on the
financial operations of the Mata
dor empire at the State Library
at Austin.
The article tells of the writer’s
reception at the ranch headquar
ters and of the advanced methods
employed by this organization.
The article is illustrated by photo
graphs taken by the author, whose
articles on Texas Cattle industry
have been printed far and wide
during the past decade.

An outstanding negro swing band
from Lufkin is being contacted for
the February 14th program and
“Mysterious” Howard, Houston
magician, will be brought here if
possible.
As a means of furnishing spice
to his programs, Jenkins an

The Assembly Hall programs are
given free to the Corps. They are
built around the idea of audience
participation, informality, and
good fun.
