I should have said we; Every night when we pick up the Batt and settle down to supposedly read (something interesting about A&M, what confronts us—a bunch of tripe about anything and every thing^ except A&M! I have heard that now the Batt has the highest rating of college newspapers; (Good work, but what happened to the little stuff—stor ies of Aggie’s hitch-hiking exper iences, letters about trips to f'S- CW and the like? Maybe such in teresting material is a little too uninteresting and not connected to the world situation. A college news paperi, in our estimation should contain a little about the college it renresente, or ^s that asking too much!?

The nten were divided into com mittees and each group was re sponsible for certain sections of the manual. In compiling their in formation of actual work in field with theii' technical knowledge^ the men checked their technical ma terial with each department con cerned. These facts were then chec ked, edited, and assembled by; Al exander and Walton. The manual has a three-fold purpose, according to Alexander, it is to atxiuamt the boy and! his parent^ with the Vocational Agri culture program, to assist each boy in determining the possibilities of making money on separate types of projects, and to serve as a quick hanuy reference for the boys. Success of the publication i has been mote than anticipated. At the August, 1947 conference of 564 Texas Agriculture teachers, the manual received unanimous appro val. The copyright was then given to the Texas Vocational Teachers Aniporifljm. The sale of this manualhas al- ready hit the 25,000 mark, Alex ander sUted.
