A&M Aircraft Research Center Guion Manager Issues Policy Of Operation Featured in ‘Aviation Week’ The Personal Aircraft Research Center of the Aeronau tical Engineering Department and the Engineering Experi ment Station at A&M has been the subject of three major feature articles within the last two months in Aviation Week, a news journal of the aeronautical industry. The November 8 issue of Avia-+ tion Week presented an illustrated feature article on the spin confer ence held at the Personal Aircraft Research Center in September. This conference, attended by rep resentatives of industry and gov ernment services, took up the pro blems connected with personal air craft spin requirements and recom mended a research program for the Personal Aircraft Research Center. The November 29 issue of Avia tion Week included a report on the recommendations made to the Aviation Distributors and Manu facturers Association and the Na tional Aviation Trades Association at their Cleveland convention by Fred E. Weick, the dh’ector of the Personal Aircraft Center here. Weick discussed the fields of re search which his organization is undertaking. These include research on high lift devices to produce a plane for use on small close-in fields, longtitudinal and lateral control of personal aircraft at the stall, free control spin recovery, the design of spin-proof aircraft, and development of a straight flight system for light aircraft. _ The most recent issue of Avia tion Week features a report on two National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics research projects aim ed at increasing the speed range of light planes. NACA has contrac ted with the Personal Aircraft Re search Center of A&M for research on the optimum high-lift arrange ment for personal aircraft, and with Professor Otto Koppen at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology for research on slow-flying light aircraft. Aviation Week cites Professor Weick and Professor Koppen as two of the top light plane engi neering experts in the country. Icy Winds Drive Storm Over State By The Associated Press The icy breath off a northern blizzard chilled Texas again last night, but the state warmed up rapidly today under fair skies. Warmer weather was forecast for tomorrow. Sub-freezing temperatures were recorded last night and this morn ing throughout the state except the extreme south. There was con siderable cloudiness along the low er Gulf Coast and the lower Rio Grande Valley, but no rainfall was recorded or predicted., The state’s lowest temperature this morning—11 degrees at Salt Flat, was one degree warmer than yesterday’s low, 10 above at El Paso and Clarendon. The mercury stopped at 50 degrees at Browns ville this morning, dropping only six degrees from yesterday’s high of 56 in that far south city. Other morning lows: Amarillo 19, Big Spring 16, El Paso 1.2, San Antonio 30, Laredo 44, Waco 26, Dallas 26, Wichita Falls 24, Clar endon 20, Midland 18, Bryan 29, Corsicana 25, Houston 39, Texar kana 32, Tyler 27, Beaumont 40. A statement of policy re garding Guion Hall has just been released by Tom Puddy, manager. His statement is as follows: The Guion Hall stage renovation has been completed. The theater is again operating on a full time bas is, and we feel a statement of operating policy is timely. The sole function of Guion Hall theater is to supply student en tertainment at a nominal cost. Af ter years of experience in film booking in theater operation, it is our opinion that this can best be done by presenting a bill of good second run pictures for a low ad mission price. The motion picture industry is selling first run pictures on a com petitive bid basis which means that the rental fee on first run shows is from four to ten times as much as the rental fee on the same picture 30 to 45 days later. Since Guion Hall theater must make its own way financially and since operation is frequently sus pended for visiting speakers, col lege functions, Town Hall perform ances and name band concerts, it operates on a very close budget. Occasional first run pictures will be booked when the prices are not prohibitive. The practice of vaude ville shows on Saturday night as additions to the moving picture fare will be continued and en- lai’ged.

GAGE Gulf Service Station Highway 6, South The Senate Steering Committee on which Senator Tom Connally served, met yesterday. After it adjourned vice president elect Barkley said the assignments would not be announced until to day. Rep. J, M. Combs of Beaumont, named to the House Ways and Means Committee, said, “I imagine it will take .us ten days or two weeks to get all the appointments lined up.” The committee names members to serve on other committees, sub ject to House approval. Freshmen congressmen from various states have been visiting him seeking his support for the committee places they want. As the only Texan on the com mittee, says Combs, he will try his best to get for his Texas col leagues the various places they want. The Texas House delegation has made these nominations in caucus: Lyle— Rules; Fisher— Armed Services; Burleson— Foreign Af fairs; Wilson— Judiciary (inter state commerce, second choice); Lucas— Public Wbrks (banking and currency second choice); Re gan—Public Lands; Bentsen—Pub lic Lands (if Texas can get two places on the committee); Thorn- berry—Interstate Commerce (post office and civil service second choice). Other Texans would remain on the same committees on which they are serving. Texans have contributed their share of the many bills introduced. They include: Lyle: To create a new federal district judgeship in south Texas for the area bounded by Coi'pus Christi, Brownsville, and Laredo. Also, a measure authorizing con struction of a veterans hospital in the same area. Kilday: Authorizing conversion of Randolph Field into a West Point of the air. He introduced a similar measure last year. Teague: To increase $50,000,- 000 a year the annual appropria tion for federal highway con struction, raising the total to $500,000,000. He said the in crease was designed primarily for more farm-to-market roads. Poage: An oleomai’gine tax re peal bill, designated Hr. No. 3. Gossett: Providing for states’ ownership of tidelands.

Figuring on a percentage basis from the number of rating sheets returned, it ap peared that less than one percent of the student body gets a Batta lion regularly. A veteran living in dormitory one said, “I had to have my Batt mailed to receive it at all. They are often late in being de livered, and there are usually not enough to go around.” That com ment was mild. Editorials were let off sur prisingly light. The entire edi torial staff has again come out into the open after failing to receive an expected barrage of criticism. Perhaps they expected more than they received, but they were sur prised that the majority of com ments on the editorials were good. Suggestions for additional editor ial subjects were the rule as far as that department’s criticism was concerned. All other departments were hit, some got good reports, some bad. But when the final rating sheet was folded up and put away, the first conclusion that could be drawn from the entire operation was well voiced by one of the tabulators. “They may not like all of it, but they damn well do like some of it.” ‘Lil Abner’ agreed.
