periment Results Show That
Some Didn’t Know ft Was Milk
; ‘ ■ ' ^ / ■ j ’ !' ■
By C. H. TUCKER - r ■
The) average person canrlot taste the difference be
tween rfiw and pasteurized milk.
In the milk tasting experiment conducted earlier this
month at the A&M Crearhery, only 54 out of 125, or 43.2%
ofjhe tasters placed the milk samples correqtly,- and 44
others declined-to express an opin-4—— —
Tasters were also given two milk
samples ,ohe raw one pasteurized,
labeled “A” and “B”, and asked
to express their preference.
A majority of the tasters pre
ferred Sample A, which was raw
milk, with a high butter fat con
tent ,
A. V. Moore of the Dairy hus
bandry Department and C. B. God-
bey of the Genetics Department
conducted the experiment.
I
ion.
Most of the 54 people who placed
the samples correctly were regular
milk drinkers. Only nine of the 54
indicated they seldom drank milk.
Participants in the test were
iven three milk samples and
ere asked to state which of the
mples were raw and which
pasteurized. a
.>)e, or 12%, misnam-
three!samples. Eight of the
re regular milk drinkers.
Closed Book Quizzes Get Nod
From Agronomy 301 Students
ferred the closed book quiz.
The 7 a.m^ and 9 a.m. classes,
which meet in Francis Hall, voted
on the question. Opt of 111 ballots
cast, 60 indicated that students fa
vored the closed book quizzes and
47 the open book type. Four had
no Opinion. ! ‘
The voting by sections followed
the pattern set by the group as a
whole. The members of the 7 a.m.
class voted 38 for the closed book,
26 fdr the open, and 4 held
opinion. The 9 a.m. section voted
22 for closed book quizzes and 21
for open book. There was a total
of 14 who did not vote in both
sections.
- According to Dr. Luther G.
Jones, who,teaches the classes, it
has been the custom in the past
to give five letter quizzes, one of.
them being of the open book type.
During previous years, Dr. Jones
said, a survey of grades indicated
that open book quiz grades ran
lower than those „ made on closed
book quizzes.
Six written opinions from stu
dents who participqted in the poll
were selected at random to discov
er why the men voted as they did.
M.j A. Daniell, junior agriculture
education major from College Sta
tion, said, that “by looking up
facts they seem to stay wit,h me
longer, therefore I prefer open
bpok quizzes.”
A junior from Bowie, Texas, F.
D. Scroggins, said, f “Open book
quizzes are too long and you don’t
have time to look up the answer.”
John Randles, senior agriculture
education major from College Sta
tion, agreed. “Closed book—don’t
take so much effort.”
C. R. Love, Terrell, Texas junior
agriculture engineering student
said it doesn’t matter whether
open or closed book quizzes are
given, because I’ll know just as
much on one as the other.” An
other College Station student,
Marc Davenport! said he preferred
“open book because the average
student will cover more reading
in the text than if it is a regular
f quiz where it isn’t as profitable to
be familiar with the text book.”
Robert Steger, J.r., Bryan animal
husbandry jpnjor, said, “Open book
quizzes are so (long that one be
comes confused! in’ trying to look
up the questions.” j ’ ,

Quick Freezing Of
Fruits, Vegetables
Studied by College
Research into the proper meth
ods of preserving Texas fruits and
vegetables through the use of cold
storage is being conducted by the
Horticulture Department.
The work is being carried out in
the $10,000 refrigeration unit in
stalled in the Agriculture Engi
neering Building two months ago.
.The unit consists of a chill room,
where the produce is pre-cooled to
a temperature of about 36 degrees,
a freezing compartment, where the
temperature can be lowered to 40
degrees below zero, and the stor
age roonL-which is maintained at
zero, iji' j' . ( |
Experiments with berries, peach
es, beans, and figs are being car
ried out. The produce is frozen and
stored, and tnen periodic labora
tory tests are run to determine'the
extent of deterioration.
The refrigeration unit will be
used to instruct classes in the
quick freezing of foods this fall.
T. S. Stephens is in charge of
the unit.

dents.”
Another interviewed senior, Foy
Couch, accused the type pf quizzes
giveji. He said, “Mainly, we are
given quizzes requiring memory
instead of real thought Naturally
it is! difficult for a person to pass
this type since we must carry many
courses and there is an oppor
tunity! for the material memorized
to be forgotten due to the interval
between the presentation of the
facts and the quizzing on them.”
Couch noted, “I am opposed to
cheating on the grounds of un
fairness. It is not only unfair
to 'the students not actually en
gag‘d in it, but to the ones who
are themselves cheating, for they
weaken themselves by destroy
ing! se ^ confidence.”
“I would like to see the students
entirely upon their own. It has
been tried in some of the account
ing courses here this summer, and
it has been successful. Couch ad
ded, “We need more courses of
fering that opportunity to the stu
dents to prove their integrity.”
Fred C. Ahrendt, a classified
junior, believes that "Cheating is
not a necessity if you honestly
study. However, some cheating
is actually encouraged by the
faculty attitudes.”
Ahrendt was doubtful of a clear
solution. He stated however, “For
any ratification to cohne about,
there must be a betteri trust re
lationship between the profs and
the students.” i ( -
