Landscape Nursery
Planting Flowers
The first step in dressing up
the Texas A. & M. College campus
for the winter months has been
taken by the Landscape depart
ment. The department nursery is
now seeding the 750 acre campus
as well as reseting some 10,000
flower plants throughout the cam
pus flower beds.
Most of the college campus is
planted in Bermuda grass and
when it starts to fade in the win
ter, the department dispatches
men with mechanical seeders to
plant Italian Rye grass. This Rye
grass is an annual and will keep
the campus green until amout May,
when the Bermuda again starts to
grow.
Prom the concrete hot beds at
the nursery, some 10,000 flower
plants are being set out in order
to replace the fading flowers now
in beds. By careful planning, the
department keeps the campus
grass green and the flower beds
full of blooming plants at all
times.
The laxy of supply and demand
makes polite people popular.
The popularity of short skirts
with both men and women is prob
ably due to their being free and
kneesy.
Spanish Club Hears
Discussion on Peru
“Ancient Incan Civilization in
Peru” was the subject of a dis
cussion by Mr. Beardsley at the
mjeeting of the Spanish club, Tues
day evening at 7:30 p.m. This was
followed by showing of slides
which depicted the “Ancient Incan
Remains in Peru.” Accompanying
the slides was a commentary in
Spanish by Mr. Ledgard of Lima,
Peru.
Club members were then enter
tained with a Spanish song, “Otra
Vez,” sung by Mr. Ledgard and
Mr. Olcese, also from Lima. The
first issue of the club’s paper, “El
Clarin,” was distributed and re
freshments were served at the
close of the program.

Each candidate for the degree of Mas
ter of Science or Master of Education who
expects to complete his requirements for
his degree in the current semester should
file a complete course of study, thesis
project (if a Master of Science degree),
and notice of expectation to complete,
with the Dean of the Graduate School
without delay.
Theses, approved by the head of the
student’s major department, should be
presented to the Dean of the Graduate
School on or before January 3, 1947.
In view of the fact that some students
and instructors have overlooked the re
quirement that grades of incomplete must

of the student's succeeding semester in
college, the time for making up incom
plete grades has been extended to Novem
ber 9, 1946. If incomplete grades are not
made up by this date, the final grade
shol be an “F”, and the student must re
peat the course in order to receive credit,
unless for a good reason an extension of
time is granted on petition.
F. C. Bolton, Dean.

—ORCHESTRA—
(Continued from Page 1)
will possibly remember this group
as having played on the Fitch
Bandwagon, appearing in Univer
sal’s “We’ve Never Been Licked,”
and featured on Interstate Thea
ter’s weekly “Showtime” broad
casts. Headed by genial Curly
Brient, the strains of the Aggie
land were heard by Aggies ’round
the world on September 9, 1942.
Small wonder that newspapers
heralded it as the finest college
orchestra jn the country.
However, the music of the Ag
gieland has not always been re
stricted to dance halls and hotels.
Many unusual requests have been
made of the orchestra. Once when
A&M was playing Baylor on the
Gridiron of Kyle Field, the saxo
phone section of the Aggieland was
summoned during the half-time
to the Aggie dressing room by
Coach Norton. And there while
Norton verbally instilled new spir
it into his tired gridders, the Ag
gieland formed a musical back
ground as they played the Spirit
of Aggieland.” A determined and
revitalized Aggie team came out of
those hollowed rooms and soundly
beat the Golden Bruins.
During the war years, the Ag
gieland was taken under the wing
of the school, and is now prepar
ing for one of its banner years un
der the personal direction of Bill
Turner. Boasted as having some of
the finest collegiate musicians in
the Southwest, this new edition
of the Aggieland promises Aggies
a year of music that will long be
remembered.
