Student Council Finds . . .
Legislature Holds Purse Strings
To Provide Prof's Salary Raises
At a recent meeting of the
Student Council, Dean F. C. Bol
ton stated to the group that it is
because of too small appropria
tions and the itemized budget plan
that A. & M. profs are paid less
than those at other schools.
Dean Bolton presented a chart
showing that A. & M. was lowest
rank in providing salaries for
its instructors, professors and
heads of departments, among
seven other colleges and univer
sities, including Texas university.
Dr. Varvel, of the psychology
department, presented facts con
cerning the salary scale of Aggie
profs, and illustrated that while
the cost of living in this area has
risen one-third since 1940, salary
raises have not been in proportion.
Mimeographed sheets showing
comparative salaries were distri
buted to the council which showed
clearly the difference in salaries
paid A&M and T. u. teachers.

Easterwood Field
To Be Kept Busy
With flight courses scheduled for
Easterwood field, and possibilities
of use by armed forces reserve
units, the college air-port is an
important center of interest these
days.
Because of its location, on the
far western edge of the college
property across the railroad tracks,
many students have never visited
Easterwood field. It’s well worth a
visit.
Easterwood is one of the largest
college airfields in this country.
It’s three concrete runways, each
of which is almost one mile long,
are big enough to land a B-19.
Three grass runways are used by
lighter planes. Many metropolitan
airports have fewer and less ex
tensive runways.
The college wind-tunnel, which
will be completed when motors ar
rive for its gigantic fans, is the
only one in the Southwest. When
put in operation, it will make pos
sible important research in aero
dynamics and will help keep the
A. & M. areo engineering depart
ment among the leaders.
Easterwood Airport was named
for Lt. Jesse L. Easterwood, an
Aggie who was a U. S. Naval avia
tor and hero during World War I,
and who crashed to his death in
Panama shortly afterward.
DOWNS IS VICE-PRES.
OF TEXAS STATE FAIR
P. L. (Pink) Downs, Jr., business
manager of athletics at Texas
A&M College, has been named an
honorary vice-president of the
State Fair of Texas, according to
word received here by Downs from
W. H. Hitzelberger, executive vice-
president of fair.
Downs duties will be to cooperate
with various organizations in this
part of Texas in an effort to
make the coming fair, Oct. 5-20 the
greatest of all time. Hitzelberger

tendance in excess of 1,500,000
people this year, the first time the
Texas State Fair has been held

Early-Bird Bus
Now Leaves Bryan
At 6:30 A. M.
For the benefit of town-living
students who must get out to the
campus by 7:00 for these early
classes, the Bryan-College Trac
tion Co. is now running an early
bird bus which leaves Bryan at
6:30 in the morning.
Sleepy-eyed commuters scram
bled aboard this week, tried to get
in a little more shut-eye while the
bus rumbled down College Avenue.
