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.

—DISTRACTIONS—
(Continued from Page S)
The main distraction concerning
“Dr. Kildare’s Victory” is that too
much time has been spent elabor
ating on the unimportant details
of the dispute between two hos
pitals as to just where they had
the jurisdiction to pick up patients
in their ambulances.
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.

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.
