Zinn Will Start
On New Job After
First of September
Effective September 1 Bennie
Zinn will leave the Administration
Building and go to Goodwin Hall
and become Assistant Dean of
Men. This is the position form
erly held by W. B. (Woodie) Var
ner.
Although Zinn will not be active
in the Veterans he will plan the
policy of that office. Taylor Wil
kins will succeed Zinn as active
veterans adviser and carry out
the policies.
Zinn began work as veterans
adviser September 1, 1945, short
ly after returning from Europe.
Zinn worked under difficulties
in the beginning, for some time
without a secretary. Although
the Veterans’ Administration at
Waco was not completely organ
ized it rendered some assistance.
More than 8,000 men have been
personally interviewed in this
time. “A few veterans have
raged and beat their fists on the
desk, but the great majority have
been pleasant and interesting to
work with,” Zinn stated. “I still
wish to help any veteran or cadet
with any problem he may have.”
If every man, woman and child
in the United States would eat
one less slice of bread each meal,
three-fourths of a million tons of
wheat would be free for overseas
shipment within 90 days.

Architects Plan and
Build for Blanford
If you’re having difficulty
finding a place to live, you might
take a tip from John Blanford,
student from Port Arthur.
Blanford, a sophomore archi
tecture major, gave his housing
problem to the Architecture De
partment of the college and they
have nearly solved it.
A fifth year architecture stu
dent, Otto Ransleben studied the
needs of the Blanford family,
consisting of Mr. and Mrs. and
their small daughter. He de
signed them a functional modern
house with many unused built-in
features.
Sophomore architecture stu
dents, under the supervision of
Ransleben, are building the house
for the practical experience to be
gained. They are doing all car
pentry and painting. Outside con
tracts were let for concrete,
plumbing, and roofing work.
The house is frame construction
with waterproofed plywood exter
ior walls, plywood interior walls
and insulation board ceilings. The
structure has concrete floor
throughout which is to be car
peted or linoleum covered. There
is a flat deck roof covering the
four room home.
“Although our labor difficul
ties have been a minimum, there
have been several material short
ages to cope with,” Blanford said.
In securing materials Blanford
has made trips to Dallas, Fort
Worth, Houston, Galveston and
Port Arthur.
The Landscape Art Department
is using the Blanford house as a
final problem in the junior year
landscape design class.
This project is drawing wide
spread attention and plans and
scale models and photographs of
construction progress is to be ex
hibited at the Museum of Fine
Arts at the State Fair at Dallas
this fall.
Blanford’s house is located on
South Foster Street in College
Hills addition across from the East
Gate of the campus. It is to be
completed about the first of Sep
tember.
