No NROTC Expansion
Expected For Future
There will be no expansion of the Naval ROTC program by the addition of new units
in the near future, acording to a letter received from Commander L. C. Heinz of the
NROTC-NACP section.
The letter was sent to Charles Kirkham,president of the Student Senate, after he had
written a letter of inquiry to the Commanding Officer of the NROTC Unit at the Univer

Exchange Store
Profits Reach
$32,840 Total
Exchange Store profits for
the fiscal year of 1947-48,
totaling $32,840, will be divid
ed equally between the Memo
rial Student Center Operat
ing Fund and student welfare
according to W. H. Holzmann,
chairman of the Exchange
Store Advisory Board.
A motion made by Ernest Lang
ford was unanimously adopted to
allocate $16,420.36 to the Memorial
Student Center Operating Fund.
Wilbur Fritz then motioned that
the remaining funds of the same
amount be allocated to student wel
fare, actual distribution to be de
termined later. This motion was
passed unanimously.
The board also discussed plans to
make tempoi-ary seats available on
the drill field for final review and
other special purposes, but no ac
tion was taken.
The board also heard a report
from W. L. Penberthy, dean of
men, which stated the need of ad
ditional funds for student welfare
and recreational facilities and nam
ed the need of funds for the fol
lowing purposes:
Library for recreational read
ing and supplementary reading,
Guion Hall sound equipment, ad
ditional equipment for Music
Hall, playground equipm e n t,
funds for the Band, intramural
basketball portable outdoor goal
posts, funds for the Aggie Play
ers and Rodeo Roping Arena.
The report was discussed at
length but it was decided to defer
action until the next meeting, Feb
ruary 4.
♦ His new work will deal with the
\\ / analysis and correlation of experi-
mental and theoretical research in
transonic aerodynamics, the region
of mixed subsonic and supersonic
flows encountered by high speed
aircraft.
Pinkerton came to A&M in No
vember 1941 from the National
Advisory Committee for Aeronau
tics. As associate professor of aero
nautical engineering, he taught
aex-odynamics and aided in the de
velopment of research facilities.
He was promoted to professor in
1943 and served as acting head of
the department from June 1944 to
June 1947.
During the war Professor Pink
erton was active in war training
work with the aircraft industry.
He was associated as aerody
namic consultant with the Ap
plied Physics Laboratory of the
Johns Hopkins University and
the Globe Aircraft Corporation.
Soon after his ai’rival on the A
&M Campus, Pinkerton began pi’e-
liminary design studies for a wind
tunnel laboi’atoi’y as the first unit
of a proposed aeronautical research
center.
The Aerodynamic Research Lab
oratory, a part of this center, lo
cated at Easterwood Airpoi’t, was
planned under Pinkerton’s supex--
vision and was under his direction
until June 1947. At that time all
aviation activities wei’e placed un
der the administration of the new
ly appointed head of the aero de
partment.
Million Dollars In
Refunds for Vet
Homes Obtained
Refunds and adjustments total
ling mox-e than a million dollars
have been obtained for veterans
who purchased homes built with
priority authorization under the
Veterans Emergency Housing Pro
gram, Housing Expediter Tighe E.
Woods reported today.
As of January 5, settlements had
been effected with builders in
volving 3829 homes in the amount
of $977,812. As of the same date,
judgments and settlements report
ed by the OHE Litigation Division
and the Department of Justice
amounted to $137,036. The total
for the two is $1,114,848.
Approximately 70 per cent of
this total was obtained during
the last 90 days, after the en
larged staff of investigators had
been recruited and put to work.
Also as of January 5, cases in
litigation involved 5256 homes with
total claims of $2,433,809. Pend
ing settlements involved 3302
homes representing $1,155,700. In
vestigations had been completed
but no action yet taken in cases
involving 13,801 homes and $2,-
930,299.
All of the categories totaled 26,-
188 homes involving a total of
$7,634,656 in overcharges, substi
tutions and omissions.
On hand for investigation as of
that date were veterans’ complaints
involving 37,357 homes. The dol
lar amount of these cases has not
yet been determined.
The veterans’ complaints in all
of these cases are based on pro
visions of the Veterans Emergency
Housing Act of 1946 under which
a builder was granted authority
and priority assistance to build
homes for veterans on condition
that he build according to minimum
specifications he himself submit
ted and at a maximum sales price
which he himself placed on the
house. The complaints allege over
charge or failure to comply with
specifications.
Restitution consists either of a
direct cash refund or correction of
the deficiencies.

Course Given
V
Credit Change
Agricultural Engineering 217 has
been given a recent face-lifting, ac
cording to R. N. Craig, assistant
professor in the Agricultural En
gineering Department, who teaches
the farm shop course.
It has been changed from a 3
hour couse to two 2-hour courses,
Agricultural Engineering 221 and
Agricultural Engineeinng 222. The
new courses will meet one day a
week with 1 hour of theory and 3
hours of lab, thus fitting in with
more students’ schedules, Craig
said.
Ag Eng 221 will cover all wood
working tools, woodwork, paints
and painting.
Ag Eng 222 includes axyacety-
lene and arc welding, soldering,
forging, cold metal woi’k and con
crete.
Reasons for the changes ai’e to
give the student more time to put
to practice shop theory, particul
arly cold metal woi’k and welding;
also, the change enables the stu
dent to complete laxger projects,
which can be carried from one
course to the other, Craig said.

Dick Todd is Named
To Coaching Staff
Dick Todd, former backfield man of A&M, was named
varsity backfield coach by Athletic director Bill Carmichael
Saturday. The terms of the contract were not disclosed.
He will report for duty February 1, three days before
the start of spring football practice.
Todd graduated in the spring of4 — r—
1939, and since then, except for 2
and one-half years in the Navy,
has been with the Washington Red
skins in professional football.
At Crowell, Texas, High School
in 1934, Todd was a national sen
sation when he scored 318 points.
During his four years in high
school he made 664 points, which
added to 116 at A&M made a total
of 780 for eight years of high
school and college football.
Best Running Back
Although Todd did not play on
a championship team at A&M he
was known as one of the best run
ning backs the conference had pro
duced up to that time. In his sen
ior year, he made nearly every all
conference and all-opponent team
that was picked.
Carmichael and Head Coach
Stiteler tenned the naming of
Todd “an important step in re
turning the Texas Aggies to the
place they once held in college foot
ball.”
Cax-michael has been dickering
with Todd since the teammate and
roommate of Sammy Baugh decid
ed to retire from pi’o football at
the close of last season. .
Full Coaching Staff
Addition of Todd brings to full
strength the football coaching
staff. In addition to head Coach
Stiteler and Backfield Coach Todd
there are Line Coach Bill DuBose,
End Coach J. T. King, and Fi-esh-
man Coach Bai’low “Bones” Irvin.
Gage Engineer
To Hold Meet
L. W. Dwyer, chief gage
engineer of the United States
Arsenal at Watervliet, N. Y.,
will conduct a two-day con
ference on gage engineering
here February 3 and 4.
The confei’ence is sponsored by
the ME Depai’tment, with A. R.
Burgess as chaii'man for the shoi’t
<course. Gage engineering deals
with precision measurement of
metal pieces.
A&M is one of a number of uni
versities throughout the country at
which Dwyer has set up gage lab-
oratories for the Ordnance Depart
ment of the U. S. Army. The A&M
Laboi’atory will be used by Dwyer
to demonstrate correct techniques
of gage use and gage checking.
Among developments to be dis
cussed will be the x'ecent agreement
between the United States, Great
Britain, and Canada for a compro
mise screw thread.
In addition to Dwyer and Bur-
ges§, Texas engineers who attend
the course will hear Geox-ge L.
Dehn, southwest manager for Mag-
naflux Corp., discuss ultra-sonic
inspection of metal thickness and
flaws, a new electronic process of
inspection.
Cue Stick Wizard
Champ Billiard
Shot Visits A&M
By DAN JACKSON
Charlie Peterson, world’s cham
pion trick billiard shot, in a sur-
pi-ise visit to A&M, Friday, Jan
uary 21, gave an exhibition in the
YMCA at 7:30 that night.
The spry, 79-year-old champion
first showed the audience the cor
rect way to hold the cue stick, hit
the cue ball, and figure cushion
shots mathematically using the
spots in the middle and up on the
edge of the table.
Then Peterson, who is minus a
large part of his hair, drew laugh
ter and whistles of amazement
from his audience when he “threw
his hair back out of his eyes” and
began shooting. He made what he
calls his Brooklyn shot because a
Study, That Is, Son
Earnest Cadets Sacrifice
Sleep In Knowledge Search
By C. C. MUNROE
A thermos jug full of black cof
fee is passed around. Some weak
soul staggers through the fog to
open a window, but as the cold air
whips in he closes it again amidst
a chorus of howls. One sleepy
character has given up and buried
his head on a pillow. Over in the
corner somebody mutters, “Oh
hell.”
Cramming 1313, the most pop
ular course at A&M is in session.
No ordinary men, these. They
have earned their right to sit in on
Cramming 1313. Each and every
one has had to swear on a copy of
the Blue Book that he missed at
least one exemption by point.
These seemingly battle weary
souls are those who were fouled
up when somebody loused up the
curve.
Their place in the smoke-filled
den of condensed knowledge was
fought for, against unbelievable
odds.
Take that long, tall individual
with the pipe in his mouth. Anyone
of his friends will swear that he
got the dirtiest deal in college, ex
cepting, of course, himself. The
long, tall one, who answei’s to
many names, will certify that his
prof had him pegged for a lousy C
the day he walked into the class.
“That crumb,” he will testify
between di’ags on the stoker, “has
n’t liked me since the time I fell
asleep during one of his bull stor
ies.”
Another figure barely visible
leaning against the bedpost ans
wers. “He did me dirty too. He
doesn’t like none of us that sleep
in class.”
A third stops mopping up coffee
he has spilled on his roommate’s
bunk long enough to comment,
“And he switched quizes on us af
ter we stayed up till two o’clock
to get into his office.” Further
mutterings concerning the prof’s
ancestry are cut short by a crash
as a skinny figure in shorts bursts
into the room.
“Who’s got a cigarette?” the
skinny one yells, looking around
hopefully.
“Why don’t you buy some?” the
long tall one grins as he tosses a
crumpled pack to the newcomer.
“I would if you wouldn’t smoke
them all the time, you cheapskate.”
“Aw, shutup” the long tall one
yells, “Can’t you see we’re trying
to study. We got Eco. in the
morning.”
“YOU, you got Eco! Man,
lemme tell you what I got.”
The one who was mopping up
the spilled coffee settles himself
comfortably on the freshly dried
bunk and closes his eyes. The long,
tall one reaches over and turns on
the x’adio. The figure leaning
against the bedpost leafs idly
through a 1947 Argosy. The skinny
one tells his troubles to the dis
interested audience.
Cramming 1313 continues on into
the night, for finals are scheduled
for tomorrow.
GI in an army camp said it ‘coives’
off the cushion and hits the sec
ond object ball.
Peterson then balanced one
ball on top of the other and
made a three cushion billiard on
that play too. He later put a dime
on the edge of a cushion and
struck it with the cue ball to
make it spin into the air and
fall in a small glass up on the
edge of the table.
All this time he was keeping up
a steady sti’eam of interesting and
rib-trickling conversation and cas
ually doing things like throwing
around cue balls that lurched cra
zily all over the table.
For over two hours the cue-
stick artist made trick shots,
using much of the equipment he
uses in his television shows and
in his recent Pete Smith movie
short. He also gave personal in
struction to some of the specta
tors.
Peterson travels all over the na
tion and to many fox-eign countries
for the American Billiai’d Associa
tion in an effort to promote the
game in colleges and universities.
He visited A&M three or four
times in the years before the war.
Dui’ing the war he gave over
3,000 peidormances in 729 camps.
Once he had to play on a table with
no cloth on it, but, says he, “I
never, missed a show except once
when the table lay dismantled on
the floor.”
When the war was over, Pe
terson had a gavel made of the
nine ivory balls he had used, and
this he presented to President
Harry Truman.
At the recent governors’ confer
ence, Peterson presented each gov-
ernor with an eight ball. He
chuckled delightedly when he men
tioned that he has received letters
of appreciation fi'om all except
Governor T. E. Dewey.
Peterson is working to organize
pocket billiard teams in all col
leges in this region. These teams
will send in their scoi’es on Feb
i’uary 23, and the winners will re
ceive a fi’ee trip to the national
tournament in New York City.
More information on this contest
will be announced later.
tablishment of a unit here.
The letter further explained,
“Inasmuch as the Navy is limited
by law to a ceiling of 15,400 stu
dents who may be enrolled at one
time and the established units have
a capacity of approximately 300
students each, it is considered that
any contemplated increased re-
quirements for naval officers can
be handled within the present
units.”
At the time of the authoriza
tion by the Board of Directors,
President Bolton told them that
the Navy would probably not
need a unit at the present time,
but if they ever should need one,
it would be best for him to be
authorized to negotiate for it in
order to avoid delay and the pos
sibility of losing the opportuni
ty.
The letter continued by saying,
“The Bureau of Naval Personnel
has on file the formal application
for the establishment of an
NROTC unit submitted by the
Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege of Texas under date of 12
April 1945.
“This application was consider
ed, along with those of many other
worthy institutions, when estab
lishment of the last of the 52
NROTC units now in existence was
approved in the spring of 1945. As
far as is known, no further cor
respondence regarding this matter
has taken place between the Col
lege and the Navy Department.”
“We are very happy, how-
evei’, to know of the continued
interest of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College of Texas in
the NROTC Program.
“It is hoped that the plaque pi’e-
sented by the Navy for the valued
participation of that institution in
the naval training pi’ograms dur
ing’ the war indicates in s9me
measui’e our esteem.”
