Yes, It Really
Was 103 Degree in
Shade This Year
Aggies here at College Station
may be relieved to know that one
of the hottest months of the year
has passed. According to weath
er data from the office of J. E.
Roberts who is Superintendent of
the Main Station Farm, July and
August are the hottest months
of the year with July a little in
the lead. The farm has recorded
weather data for 57 years and the
hottest temperature ever record
ed was 111 degrees Farenheit in
July 1894. The hottest record this
year up to this date was 103 de
grees which was recorded July
25. This seems cool compared
to the record of 1894. However,
last year the temperature never
went over 101 degrees.

the scarcity of teachers with abil
ity, has placed a premium upon
high school teachers of scientific
subjects.
Scientific forestry, pointing the
way to better and more abundant
houses for the homeless, also of
fers many jobs to well-trained bio
logists. ,
The reasons for the increased de
mand in branches of Biological
Science may be enumerated as fol
lows:
1. The government has increased
its demand for research scientists.
2. There has been an increase in
demand in industries, such as, Pick
le Factories, Leather Tanners,
Fruit Companies in preventing
disease of fruits, and numerous
other industries.
3. The war itself has put new
emphasis on all phases of Science
and the great need for further de
velopment.
“Such discoveries as, Penecillin,
D.D.T., and a host of others which
are used as health giving, health
restoring, and health protection
substances are merely the founda
tions for a superstructure to be
built around them”, Dr. Doak said.

(Continued from Page 1)
even if contributions had to be
asked from the students in order
to commence such a project. An
other called for a larger gym.
Student Government
There were many suggestions
that student government be re
stored in the true sense of the
word. Many felt that the disci
pline of the corps should be re
turned to the Commandant and
that the Dean of Men’s office be
either done away with or re-or-
ganized.
Other Recommendations
Other recommendations includ
ed making the college co-educa-
tional; the appointment of a new
president; improvement of the
mess hall, returning the family
style system of (eating; better
relations between the students
Suntime Changes

The Suntime Schedule requires
that all daylight stations must in
crease their time by thirty min
utes each month until 7:30 p. m.

staying the same for two months

quirements for his Ph.D. degree in
1942. From 1939 until 1942 he

a Message of Thanks...
f <
With the deepest feeling of gratitude I wish to express apprecia
tion for the splendid support accorded me in the Democratic primary
election last Saturday. I hope every voter will accept this as a personal
message ... for that’s the way it is intended.
' ' ' '\
Voters who supported other candidates have my complete under
standing. You who voted for Griffith, Cowley and Kirby did so, I know,
in the sincere belief that you were supporting the best qualified man.
Since Griffith, Cowley and Kirby will not be candidates in the
August 24 run-off election, I am earnestly soliciting votes from their
supporters. To each of you . . . and to those who supported Tyson, too .
... I pledge a sincere effort to perform my duty to the best of my
ability as your Congressman from this district.
AGAIN I SAY:
“Thanks to those who supported me.
Understanding to those who did not.
And here’s hoping all of you will cast
your ballot for me in the August 24
election.”
Signed:
DUN E. (Tiger) TEAGDE
