Officers’ Reserve Corps Seeking Graduate Nurses The Officers’ Eeserve Corps, Ar my Nurse Section, is seeking to recruit this year 29,000 graduate registered nurses between the ages of 21 and 45, Colonel Oscar B. Ab bott, Executive for the Texas Mili tary District, has announced. Approximately 27,000 of the number will be for inactive duty. The Officers’ Reserve Corps is part of a new organization which the Army has created as a peace time source of actually needed and potentially needed nursing person nel. These potential needs are to be determined by mobilization re quirements dependent on the nature of possible national emergencies. Nurses needed for active duty in Aripy hospitals over and above the quota established for the Reg ular Army will be secured from thpse holding Reserve commissions in the Officers’ Reserve Corps. Nurses who desire active duty with the Army must volunteer for such duty after they have received a Reserve Commission.

Nurses with children under 18 years of age will not be called to active duty at any time.

CULPEPPER REALTY COMPANY East Gate College Station PHONE 4-1101 —and— SECOND FLOOR OF ASTIN BLDG. Bryan, Texas in his report on the Austin meet ing of the Executive Comjnittee of the College Classroom Teachers Association. From 1938 to. 1948, Rode said, per capita income of the people of Texas increased 291 percent and the net revenue to the General Revenue Fund in Texas increased 336 percent. However, based on sal aries at North Texas State College, the salaries of college teachers in creased only 38 percent, he said. In terms of purchasing, power, college teachers had no raise in pay, but actually suffered a 21 percent reduction, Rode said. This situation, he added, if not rectified, may have alarming consequences on the quality of instruction in Texas colleges. One of the aims of the College Classroom Teachers Association, is to improve the quality of education in the state. Robbery Attempt Made Saturday On Shaeffer’s Store An attempted robbery was made Saturday night at Shaeffer’s Book Store at North Gate, but nothing was reported stolen, Herb Shaef- fer, owner of the store, announced yesterday. The glass on the front door was broken out near the handle. It was assumed that the person who attempted to get in had planned to reach inside and take off the night latch, Shaeffer said, how ever, there is no night latch on the door and a key is required to open it from either side. The broken glass was discovered Sunday morning by W. M. Sparks, owner of the building. Shaeffer said that he did not learn of the attempted robbery until Sunday night after he returned from Dal las. , d “Y” CHICKEN SHANTY DELICIOUS HAMBURGERS SANDWICHES AND COLD DRINKS Aggies Welcome At the “Y” — Highway 6 and College Ave. Harvard Botanist To Speak Monday Dr. Paul C.
