Be Prevented V Mediator Washington, Dec. 9 r-W Chairman Frank Douglass of the National Mediation Board said today he believes a strike of Southern Pacific Eajlroud workers called for next Wed nesday can be averted. Douglass talked to newsmen af ter conferring with President Tru man at the White House. Asked about the likelihood of a strike in seven western states, he said: “The situation is under fontrol. I think we can got It settled up.” The strike notice has been serv ed by the Brotherhood of Locomo tive Firemen and Enginemen em ployed by the Southern Pacific. The dispute is over numerous grie vances under interpretation, of the present contract. Wages are not involved. * f A strike would tie up Southern Pacific operations in Oregon, California, Texas, Nevada, Ari zona, Utah and New Mexico. > Douglas told reporters he has sent a mediator to the West Coast to try for a settlement He added that if necessary he will ask Mr. Truman to appoint an emergency board, which automa tically would postpone a strike for 60 days. ♦ I 1 The Texas Cc -/ .I , ior Academy of ScienCt are m Academy in San Antdnio today Several membersi'bf the . :tive part in the fe.sgjons, ChatU Department is a .vice-president on4- the executive council.

Work started soon afterward on to day's Academic Building. Other new’ structures making their appearance on the campus in this period were Milner and Legett Halls, in ’ll, and Mitchell Hall and the Electrical Engineering Build ing in ’12. The cornerstone of the YMCA was laid in ’12 also. A&M changed in other ways too. The Schools of Agriculture and Engineering as such were’ organi zed in this period. The Agricultur al Extension Service was put on its present basis-' The Cadet Corps was' still pri marily infantry except for one bat- tery of field artillery.

No student could leave the college be cause of a mcnjngitis epidemic at College Station.

East Texans Clul Meets in YMCA scoreboard which read 6-0. That night the corps took over the city of Houston in a wild spree that has known no equal in the history of the school. They even threw some of the Houston police officers in their own jail. Through newspaper articles, TU fevered relations with A&M charging the corps with “rowdy ism” and the team with “pro fessionalism.” Under the captaincy of Tyree Bell, the ’12 team came close to a perfect season. They were only scored upon once when the season drew to a close and were named Champions of the South. A game was arranged with the champions of the Middle-West, the Kansas Aggies, which A&M lost 10-13. A contemperary account of the game with Ole Miss which A&M won 17-0 mentions the game only slightly but uses much space in telling of the unusual fact that twelve autos came to the game from Brenham.

The most needed minerals in a dairy ration are calcium and phos phorus, Dr. I. W. Rupel, head of the Dairy Husbandry Department told a group of dairymen and dairy plant fieldmen yesterday. The 70 dairymen from over the state and members of the College staff and Dairy Department heard Dr. Rupel speak on the concentrat ed situation. He told the group that first, the dairy farmer should figure out his roughage picture, then feed enough protein to make up what is lacking. Good, green hay offers the high est vitamin content, said Dr. Rupel, and if the hay is cut,; dried and stored correctly, the hay will have a fairly high amount of vitamins. Among, other'talks made at this two-day meeting included those of Dr. W. C. Banks, extenxion veteri narian, on brucellosis; Dr. A. B. Rich, San Antonio veterinarian, on mastitis; G. G. Gibson, extension dairyman, on feed supply for the dairy herd; and Robert R. Lan caster, extension pasture special ist, on pasture management.

Shcpurdson, of the; school of agriculture, tell of agriculture in Central America. < c j RENT REFUNDS Ul» DALLAB, Dec, 9 -^Tenant* in aight states.
