American Association of Univer
sity Professors, said at a chapter
meeting last week.
Rode disclosed this information
At their height, the Indians of

Fort Sam June 12
A military intelligence school for
Organized Reserves will again be
held this year at Fort Sam Hous

cording to a Texas Military Dis
trict announcement.
Enrollment will be limited to
officers and enlisted men of the
Military Intelligence Reserve, or
those in other arms or services
who are in the process of transfer
ring to the Mi-Reserve. There are
some other special cases where
such training may be beneficial,
in which case their applications for
enrollment must be approved by
the Executive of the Texas Military
District.
Four subjects, “Intellig e n c e
Staff Officer,” “Order of Battle,”
“Photo Interpretation” and “In
terrogation of Prisoners of War,”
will be included in the course of
instructions, which will be held in
lieu of unit summer training for
all Reservists attending.
The closing date for receiving
and considering applications is
May 15. All interested Reservists
should contact their local Organiz

140 Ice Plantmen
Complete Course
One hundred and forty engineers
from ice manufacturing plants in
almost that many Texas cities re
ceived certificates from A&M Jan
uary 29, certifying completion of a
short course in ice manufacturing
at the college.
The course was sponsored joint
ly by the Southwestern Ice Manu
facturer’s Association, Inc., of Dal
las and the Mechanical Engineer
ing Department of A&M.
Because water is getting more
scarce and expensive in Texas, ice
plants should check their consump
tion and not waste it, according to
Jacob M. Irvine of Dallas.

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
