Engineering Departments Go All-Out
To Exhibit Advances in Each Field
Work progressed smoothly at
College to make the postwar re
vival of Engineer’s and Ag Day,
scheduled Saturday, May 10, the
greatest show in the long series.
All departments in the Schools
of Engineering and Agriculture
are striving to shape interesting
and instructive exhibits for the
show, actually a two-day affair
since it is followed by Mothers’
Day and its accompanying cere
monies.
Student committees in the vari
ous engineering departments have
announced plans for their exhibits.
The electrical engineers will
show a photoelectric speed in
dicator, “voice-on-a-wire” record
ing, a Tesla coil demonstration,
floating of objects in induction
fields, microwave transmission
and reception and artificial
lightning, to name a few.
The chemical engineering ex
hibit will include plastics mold
ing, incendiary bombs, synthetic
rubber, making of cosmetics, a
magnesium plant, use of chem
icals in airplanes, explosives,
soap manufacture and a number
of interesting items.
Construction features of air
planes will be stressed in the aero
nautical engineering exhibit, which
also will include aircraft engines
and a wind-tunnel demonstration.
Equipment used in oil fields will
be displayed by the petroleum en
gineering department, while the
civil engineering department will
open its various laboratories —
highway, hydraulics, soils, strength
and structural—for individual ex
hibits.
The large mechanical engi
neering department will stage a
number of exhibits in its num
erous laboratory areas, with the
machine shop, welding shop and
pattern shop open to visitors.
Iron will be poured in the foun
dry, and in the steam and auto
motive lab cutaway automobile
engines will be shown, with stu
dents to explain functioning of
parts.
Architecture students will show
visitors through their 4 e P ar t men t>
where a large number of student
designs and works of Texas ar
chitects will be displayed.
Aggies Act as Honor
Guard for Jester
At Texas City Show
Approximately 100 Aggie cadets
of senior, junior, and sophomore
classification acted as honor guard
for Governor Beauford Jester at
the Texas City Relief Fund show
in Galveston Monday night.
After escorting Governor Jes
ter, cadet seniors were ushers for
the star-studded variety show held
at Galveston’s Balinese Room. A
host of Hollywood actors and act
resses, including Jack Benny, Phil
Harris, Frank Sinatra, Rochester,
Gene Autry, Alice Faye, Dennis
Day, and Marjorie Reynolds, do
nated their services for the bene
fit of disaster-stricken Texas City.
The cadet detail, led by Cadet
Lt. Col. Joe Coddou, was garbed
in white helmets and white leg-
gins, except for twenty booted se
niors.
Aggies making the trip as part
of the honor guard were allowed
authorized absences in military sci
ence courses only. They were
housed in army barracks at Fort
Crockett on Galveston Island.

have marched the man who did
it right off the campus.”
Rollins sketched other acts of
vandalism around the college, such
as the tossing of a fire extinguish
er through President Gilchrist’s
window, the burning of the score-
board on Kyle Field, and the
smashing of street lights.'
When asked for an opinion why
the cadet system doesn’t work now
although it did before the war,
Dean Rollins laid the blame on
the immaturity of the cadet offi
cers, and the fact that they are
not interested in operating theii
outfits according to college regu
lations.
“The students follow the Basic
Policy as far as they want to, but
that’s all,” Rollins claimed.
Dean Rollins recalled an inci
dent when the Basic Policy had
been attacked by Travis Bryan,
at a meeting of the Bryan and
College Chamber of Commerce.
At this meeting, according to
Rollins, Travis Bryan claimed he
had talked with some Washing
ton army and air force men, who
said they didn’t approve of the
Basic Policy.
The committee adjourned a t
11 p.m. until further call of the
chairman, Senator Fred Harris.
Sunday Picnic Held
By FFA Chapter
Members of the College Future
Farmer Chapter staged their
spring picnic Sunday afternoon on
the lawn back of the home of the
senior chapter advisor, E. R. Al
exander, head of the Agricultural
Education department. Over one
hundred members, their wives,
children, and guests attended the
gathering.
President T. D. Tanksley pre
sented to the group the chapter
advisors and their families, Mr.
and Mrs. Alexander, Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Ross, and Mr. and Mrs. E.
V. Walton. Guests present were
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hale, Prof.
D. H. Reid, Dr. and Mrs. Carl E.
Ferguson, Dr. and Mrs. R. L.
Hunt, and Dean Charles N. Shep-
ardson.
The low premium rates on all
forms of National Service Life
Insurance are made possible be
cause the Government bears the
entire cost of administration, Vet

Veterans may pay National Ser
vice Life Insurance premiums to
Veterans Administration monthly,
quarterly, semi-annually, or an
nually.

ALWAYS BETTER-BETTER ALL WAYS
More Military
Justice, Says
AVC Director
WASHINGTON — In testi
mony this week before the
House Armed Services Com
mittee, the American Vete
rans Committee urged that Con
gress provide a more democratic
system of military justice.
Justin N. Feldman, A VC’s dir
ector of veterans affairs, said that
the present administration of mili
tary justice is in many respects
“completely bankrupt because of
the soldier’s lack of faith and res
pect.”
“There is one indulgent code for
Regular Army officers and non-
coms; another, more severe, for
temporary officers; and a third
of even greater severity for those
who are non-Regular Army en
listed men,” he asserted. “The pre
sent system perpetuates class dif
ferences between officers and en
listed men and is, indeed, based
upon those differences,” he added.
A sweeping revision of the
present system rather than a mere
tampering with customs of the
service is demanded, he maintain
ed.
Feldman opposed many of the
provisions of H. R. 2575 being
considered by the Committee. He
declared that the bill does little
to remove complete power from
the commanding officer, does not
adequately assure use of compe
tent legal personnel, fails to pro
vide for civilian review of court
martials, and, does not make man
datory the seating of enlisted mvi
on court martials.

Cotton Committee
Inventories Field
Of Plant Research
The State-Wide Cotton Com
mittee of Texas is preparing an
inventory of research projects cur
rently being prosecuted in Tex
as on any phase of cotton.
Dr. J. E. Adams, chairman of
the research committee, has an
nounced that forms are being
sent to cotton concerns over the
state in order to compile the in
ventory of research projects.
Anything of a confidential
nature disclosed by those send
ing in the form and so indicated
will be maintained in confidence
by the research committee and
will not be made a part of the
published information.
It is anticipated that the in
formation gathered from this sur
vey will assist cotton research
workers in carrying out their pre
sent projects and in planning new
projects by acquainting them with
other investigations. In addition,
this inventory will strengthen the
competitive position of Texas with
relation to other states in the
national cotton research program.
Copies of the inventory that the
research committee compiles will
be sent out to those desiring the
listing.
