Mr* and Mrs. Woolket combined business with a vacation to take personal greetings from Gibb Gilchrist, A.&M. president! to President Aleman of Mexico. Mr. and [Mrs. Woolket were greeted upon their arrival at the airport in Mexico City by Tomas Marentes, assistant director of the Mexican National Lottery. They were his guests during their visit there. Marentes, who is a personal friend of President Aleman, has a son, Tommy, who attended the Annex last spring as a freshman. In an interview President Ale man, mentioned the amiable feeling between the United States and Mexico, and particularly between A&M and Mexican students. Ale man asked Woolket to express his appreciatibn to A&M College for the training and consideration which <A&M has given the Mexican students in the past. —^ During the interview, which was attended by Aleman, Woolket, Tommy, and Marentes, President Aleman had Tommy .demonstrate his military proficiency which he had acquired at A&M. Woolket also talked to Gener al Antonio Cardenas, a commander of the 201st Squadron which fought in the Pacific. General Cardenas expressed interest hi the Aero courses which are being taught at A&M. A reunion of former students was- held while Woolket was there. Manuel L. Ortega, a CE major in the Class of ’20 and present president of the Mexican Chamber of Commerce, described A&M in olden times. Youngest former student present was Paa- cho Serna, Class of ’87. Woolket also met C. E. Scruggs, Dan Jackson, and other present students at A&M who are visiting in Mexico at the present time. Mr. and Mrs. Woolket left here on July 29 and returned August 14. . : , . 1 TEXAS CITIES AIDED BY NEW REA LOANS WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 —<*> The jural electrification adminis tration Tuesday announced loans totaling $6j,158,000 to 11 borrow ers to provide electrical service in farming areas.

Then the winch truck drew the beam under the house until it fell into its correct position. This operation was re peated on the other side of the house. This completed, the; men were ablq to breathe freely again for that was the job they''dreaded most of ill. ' Now the job of raising the house to the trailer rested with the house jacks and nothing could stop them. Before the Campus Cops could ar rive to direct traffic, .the hppse Was rekdy to rol!. f * Getting the house down the main street was the only prob lem left. High lines were mov ed. streets were made wider, and all garbage cans were moved. Now for the procession. Campus security men fell in at the head of the column, and the trucks moved out. Everything went smoothly and the house was soon moving toward its new location. The hardest part of the job was over when the trucks reach ed the new house location, but a new foundation had to be con structed. Carpenters were on the job; to do the work. Three hours later the house was resting on its new foundation and workers were ready to leave. I^ast minute jobs were .completed and Bean and his crew movqd out.

This June almost 430,000,000 cigars were released to the trade, 11 per cent more than a year ago. But these figures bring small cheer to many women who persist in the strange delusion that a man who smokes cigars probably also takes opium and eats small chil dren. , Why? The cigar is as_American as the vanishing redskin. Yet the cigar smoker today is the victim of a widespread female conspiracy against him. If he lights up his Colorado Claro in an a(rplane, the stewardess flutters up like an angry butterfly. “Cigarette smoking only!” she says, ferrying away thtf offending hunk of weed.

Before we have pointed out why students cheat, dealing primarily with the charac ter of the cheater. The following testimony to a Battalion reporter by Hortense Smoltz deall, with an other motive for cheating. j All ijriy life I have been walking the straight and narrow path. While f was no fanatic!, I did at tend church regularly and I parti cipated in choir practice on Wed nesday evenings. I served my country during the war, and I was honorably discharg ed at the epd of three and one- half years service. My record is clean; I did my duty. Upon my discharge f decided to come to college under the GI Bill. I entered A&M January, 1947, and I have been going reg ularly ever since. If While: I didn’t join the corps, I have attended yell practice regul arly, anjd I have never up-stream ed.

Ifyave always been kind to dumb animals, and once I gave first-aitf to a fly who had been hit with a swattor. When I entered school I was determined to be a successful en gineer, and I began the freshman course in that study. As yet, I haven't decided what kind of en gineer I wanted to be. It wasn’t necessary then. I did pretty good in my grades. I studied hard, and while I didn’t win) 'any laurels in those first se mester, I did manage to pass every thing -with at least a C. However, I was doomed. Last January I registered for the regular engineering first semes ter sophomore curriculum. Among the courses required was PUlcs 203. Now I won’t say that this course is hard. I can work the problems; I. can derive the equations that are given. But I don’t believe Ein stein himself could pass my prof's quizzes. His tests were the multiple choice type. He would give a prob lem, under which were listed sev eral possible answers. Now these answers weren’t derived from var ious methods of working the prob lem, but instead, they came from possible slide rule error or a mis- ilaced decimal. In other words, I could get no. Iredit for my work when I knew e formula and could set up the problem, if I made a slide rule er ror in working it. On top of Uiia, my prof insist ed that I learn such stuff as moment of inertia of various shaped bodies, and moduli of elasticity of varions materials. Both of which things could be found in any handbook. It was these type of quizzes that paused my downfall. 1 cheat on 1 hem, certainly. The professor who fives these quizzes, engenders in iis students a desire to even the score.
