Kyle Field on Monday afternoon, February 11, when the
thirty-day winter practice season will begin.
Norton and his staff have map

for the coming season. In addition
to his staff of Bill James, Marty
Karow, Botchy Koch, Frank An-
Johnnie Frankie, Man
ning Smith and Lil Dimmitt, Nor

THE PROFIT SHARING PLAN
What It Is:
How It Works:
Who Runs It
Who Is Eligible:
Why It Is:
The plan is an arrangement in which the
net profits of THE EXCHANGE STORE
are returned in cash to the Aggie student
body.
The student is given a cash register re
ceipt for each purchase at THE EX
CHANGE STORE. He simply writes his
name on the slip and drops it into a box
on our Cashier’s counter. At the end of the
school year, cash payments are made on
demand, based on the ratio of signed re
ceipts to the amount of the Store’s net
surplus.
The Profit Sharing Plan is supervised by
a Faculty-Student Advisory Board.
Every bona fide regular student of the Col
lege can participate, without the payment
of any dues or fees.
The Plan is set up as the result of a whole
hearted desire on the part of the College
Administration to provide a more efficient
and economical system of vending essential
school supplies to the Aggie student body.
