Article b| Rupel,
A&M Dairy Head
A feature article, “IVhat Does
Crossbreeding Of for,” by Dr. I.
W. Rupel, head of ; the Dairy De
partment of A&M, appears in the
October issdt of The Progressive
Farmer.
The article asks the question,
“Can we find a better mate for a
jjhigh producing animal outside its
own breed than we can within the
breed.” . Uf?
Dr. Rupel believes that there are
many drawbacks of crossing
breeds; namely, that the average
dairyman must risk both chance
and cost in attempting such cross
breeding and thi^ the multiplica
tion of cattle is 'slow. The article
states that “the problem is more
one of selection within the breed,
rather than one of crossbreeding

The Americah Institute of Elec

of Radio Engineers will hold their
nominee for first meeting of the school year
ink depenSs tomorrow night in the EE Lecture
1 him to do, Rooru. immediately after yell prac
tice, according tq Richard Denney,
president of JiheJAIEE.
The AIEE wifi-eiefct its new sec
retary and treasurer for the com
ing year and the IRE will elect
in 1947, from Kansas State Col
lege, where he taught accounting.
He received a BBA from the :Uni-

for a long period of time, great
progress was made in building up
the production level of the pure
bred herds. The significance of
this experiment, Dr. Rupel says,
is to “demonstratt what cap be
done through the use of a proved
line of breeding by staying with
in the breed.”
Plans will be formulated for the
annual Aggie Rodeo, to be held
October 15 and 16 at a meeting of
the Saddle and Sirloin Club, Tues
day evening.
Girl sponsors from the various
schools will be.chosen to ride in
20,000 special registration centers
across the .country will close.
Selective service headquarters
here had no idea how many young
men are on its books, and Offi
cials said they will not know un
til after this week.
National Headquarters said it
had no reports of delinquencies,
but added that heavy penalties are
provided for failure to register.
The maximum is five years’ im
prisonment, a $10,000 fine, or both.
Meanwhile, prospective draftees
had a handy list to study. Announ
ced yesterday by President Tru
man, it sets out the infirmities
that may keep a young man out, of
uniform.
The president, a world war I vet
eran^ reinstated flat feet as a dis
qualification. That’ disability kept
men out of the World War I draft
but it didn’t make a bit of dif
ference hr World War II.
The 31-page directive issued by
the White House listed 147 dis
eases or ailments that “may dis
qualify a registrant for service.”
Registrants were advised to ask
for a local medical checkup if they
think they have any of the 147.
ailments in order to save the time
of an army checkup later..
In addition to “flat feet, when
accompanied by marked symp
toms and deformity,” the list in
cludes alcoholism, stuttering, de
formity of an eyelid, certain
warts on “weight-bearing areas/’
deep scars that might break, and
^ loss of a thumb.
The directive also explains that
men will be called from each area
according to the actual number in
Class 1-A or Class l-A-0 who have
been found acceptable for service.

“This year’s group of Singing
Cadets- promises to be one of the
best we. have had in several years,
and we’ve got 'talent running out
of our ears," are the words of Bill
Turner, director of the Singing
Cadets. -
“This; year’s group is one of the
include several new publications
such as Edward MacDowell’s “The
Crusaders,” Roy Ringwald’s ar
rangement of “Deep River,” Bor-
tynisky’s “Heavenly Light,” and
“You’ll Never Walk Alone,” taken
from the stage play “Carousel” by
Hammerstein-Rogers.
Tenor soloists for the year in-
largest too, 76 men, and they show elude Tommy Butler of Waco, who
a lot of enthusiasm and alertness’’
said Turner.
Many of the group are old mem
bers who have been with the Sing
ing Cadets in previous seasons,
while others are new, eager mem
bers, with the organization for the
first time.
Turner usually makes ab apnoint-
ment with a prospective singing
aspirant, inquires about his prev
ious choral experience, has him
sing a few bars, and then assigns
him to the terror, baritone, or the
bass section, depending upon the
man’s voice tone. It is as easy as
that to become a member of the
Singing Cadets!- ^
To date, the trips planned are
concert performances in San An
tonio, at TSCW in Denton, Fort
Worth, and Austin. As yet the
dates have not been fixed. (-
The repertoire for this season
was at the Annex last year and
Gordon Doran, a Vet Med student
from San Saba.
-• Baritone Soloist this year are
Buddy Boyd and Leonard Perkins,
both of Fort Worth.
At the third practice session of
the club, Turner instructed with
“the first rule of music is perfec-.
tioa, and you have to qpen your
mouth to sing, st SING—LA-la la
la la—Tra-la la la la to warm up
those vocal chords!” After the
warm up session the boys sang
“I’d Rather Be A Texas Aggie,”
“The Linden Tree,” “Battle of
Jericho," and “The Crusaders." To
this layman they sounded very
good too. i

senior Wildlife student of Waco

aturday’s game was Royalty’s
first as a .^college .player and he
was sent in to the backfield when
A&M elected to receive. Villanova
kicked off and Royalty fielded the
ball behind his own goal. Instead
of falling on the ball so that it
would be brought out to the twenty
yard line to be put into play, he
elected to run with the bqll. He
was tackled bn the six-yard line,
having made mistake that every
college football player makes at
one time or Another;
Again in the fpurth quarter.
Royalty was sent into the game
to play safety. Villanova punt
ed and Royalty, behind perfert
blocking, redeemed himself by
proceeding to race 93 yards to
the Aggie’s second touchdown.
Questioned about the blocking
on his run, Royalty staged that
there was not a man within ten
yards of him that was on his feet.
The only man within tackling dis
tance of him was on the ground
when he nassed him.
This is not Royalty’s first ex
perience with the T formation. He
ran from the T while playing half
back on thp Freeport High School
team, which won one district cham
pionship in the three years that he
lettered.
Royalty also lettered in track
and basketball while in high school
and was a member of the mile re
lay team that won third in state
high school competition. He also
ran the 440-yard sprint in high
school in a mean 50 seconds flat,
which is.good for any runner.
Royalty’s run Saturday was
the longest of his career and
that game marked the first time
that he had ever played safety.
In .high school he was always
used as a linebacker. x

By HAL ROYLE
NEW YORK, Sept: 17 —CP>—If
I had a son ... If I had a daughter.
. . . I’d like them to go to a school
that doesn’t Sexist.
It is the school I wish I could
have gone to when I was a. child.
To begin with I would have one
teacher for every five or ten pu
pils. Their job would be to try to
create in the schoolroom the friend
ly, cooperative atmosphere that is
-found in the highest type Ameri-
home. , . ‘
Perhaps in that way they could
earn something ^vorth bringing
home and teaching their own par
ents.
The object of this dream school
wouldn’t berto prepare the pupil
for a job. Ib would be to prepare
him to live a happy life with his
fellow men. There’ are plenty of
good technical schools he could go
to later to learn how to earn a
living.
My school would be coeducation
al. It would have a dormitory, and
once a week the pupils would sleep
there. They could stay up late, too,
and tell stories and play games.
From kindergarten they would
be taught that the finest career
