ME A RAISE ; Y0D CAM MAkE^ -v Vv 'T BONDS / /l n Engineer Drawing Courses Enrol! 54 Persons for 16 Weeks of Training A total of 54 men and women signed up for the engineering drawing courses offered at the Consolidated High School at Col lege Station and the Stephen F. Austin High School in Bryan Mon day night and started the 16-week course which will fit them to help out in the drafting rooms of war industry plants. Of the 54 enrolled 35 of them were women who will take the in dustrial drafting course with 17 registered at College and the re maining 18 at Bryan. Another six ladies entered the advanced .engi neering course which is being of fered only in Bryan. A total of 13 men complete that class. Prof. W. E. Street, head of the engineering drawing department at Texas A. & M. college, in charge of the courses, said Tuesday that he was highly pleased with the enrollment Monday but hopes that several more will sign up for the women’s section at the Wednesday classes and that at least another half-dozen men will take the course. “The course should not be con fused with the courses offered at the college for we have designed it to fit anyone who may care to take it. Many feared that geom etry would be essential to doing the work but most of the students will have completed the course without even knowing they used geometry at all,” he explained at the opening lecture Monday. Prof. Street explained that en gineering drawing as taught to the three classes will be more or less a case of individual instruction since some may be able to do the work more rapidly and with little help. To many th e instruction will be merely a freshener course. It is not necessary that the men and women taking the course sup ply their own drawing instruments as arrangements have been made to ‘ rent the equipment from the two schools at a cost of $1 a stu dent for the 16-week course. Classes will meet Monday and Wednesday at both Bryan and College for the women’s industrial drafting course and on Tuesday and Thursday for the men and advanced women at Bryan. Classes last from 7 to 10 o’clock but if the students can not be on hand at the opening hour they can come late and catch up on other even ings. Little instruction was given at the opening class so late en- rollees will not be behind. A text book and manuel costing $4 for the women’s course and $5 for the men’s course are the only costs to the students if they have their own instruments but if not then another $1 is added to the cost for the rent of such equip ment. Street said that the text books will be needed by the gradu ates in their work should they ac cept positions in drafting rooms after completing the course. “There is a vital need for drafts men right now and it is our hope that we will be able to help fill that need with some of these classes,” he said. Those still desiring to enroll for either of the courses can do so by reporting to the drawing room in the basement of the Bryan High School ox at the drawing room at the Consolidated high school in College Station at 7 o’clock Wed nesday or Thursday. The course at college will be conducted by Prof. C. H. Crone- man of the industrial education department; the class for women at Bryan will be instructed by C. N. Hielscher of the industrial edu cational department; and C. H. Ransdell of the engineering draw ing department, will be in charge of the men’s class at Bryan. Stone-Deaf Snakes The strangest, and least known fact about rattlesnakes is that they are comparatively stone deaf, and that the beating on a dish-pan- has failed to evoke the slightest response from the otherwise high ly nervous reptile; but let some one walk in the vicinity of a rat tler, and he will immediately as sume an attitude of defense, for any vibrations transmitted through solid objects are readily received by the marvelously developed tac tile sense of the rattler.

Dorothy Lamour and enjoyable motion pictures are synonomous. She and Lloyd Nolan are appear ing in “ST. LOUIS BLUES” in the benefit show at the Campus today, sponsored by the Kream and Kow Klub. If you are not too strict about how much credulity there is in a motion picture and like lots of action, then you should like “PA CIFIC BLACKOUT.” Robert Pres ton and Martha O’Driscoll are the leading players in the story that will be at the Campus tomorrow and Saturday. The things that oc cur in the film are possibly pro phetic of what the future holds in store for us. —TRAINING— (Continued From Page 1) only a part of a coordinated pro gram offered by other Texas col leges.” The 72 courses are offered in Houston, Dallas, Bryan* Tyler, Beaumont, Prairie View, College Station, Fort Worth, Kilgore, Wa co, Galveston, Lufkin, Port Arthur, Texas City, Grand Prairie, Mar shall, Denton, Freeport, and Min eral Wells. Texas Dairy Cows Increase Milk Production Texas dairy cows produced 182,- 487,000 more pounds of milk in 1941 than during the previous year, E. R. Eudaly and G. G. Gibson, dairymen of the A. & M. Exten sion Service, report to their annual survey. The 1,400,000 cows of production age in the state at the beginning of the year yielded 1,286,377,000 pounds of milk for manufacturing purposes. From present indications the dairymen predict “that Texas will exceed the milk production goal set for the 1942 Food for Vic tory program.” Indicating a further improve ment, the specialists say that the closest estimate indicates that 50,- 000 Texas farms had no milk cow in 1941, compared with 75,000 in 1939 and about 60,000 in 1940. Most of the work of the dairy men during the year was on bet ter feeding and management. At the end of 1940, approximately 40,- 000 silos of all types, including 37,811 of the trench variety, had been filled, but at the correspond ing time in 1941, the number stood at 38,054, of which 35,466 were the trench variety.
