Once they nut fear Into the all men’s hearts, but now all that remains of these animals is n fos sil here and there. I One such fossilized mastodon tooth was dug up on u Biology! 115 field trip in the Brazos bottom, March 8, by student Joseph E. Little. This tooth is''not a rare find because of the scarcity, but because it is a perfect specimen, Large, hairy animals, the mas todons were herbivorous and slightly gregarious. They were, according to R. B. Rippma, “one and one-half times is high as the modern elephant and twice as long.” Rippma believes that the area around Bryan Field is rich in fos sil remains, but since we, in Texas, have so many fossils, the remains have been neglected. “Paleo-botany and paleonthol- ogy are very important,” said Rippma, “in acquiring informa tion aiding in petroleum geol ogy and the study of evolution.” For those less-informed than Mr. Rippma, paleonthology and paleo-botany has to do with the findings of such fossils and plants. I j ' * Several mastodons have been found perfectly preserved in tar pits around Los Angeles, also in Alaska and Siberia. “.If no one here has prior claim to it,” said I^ppma, referring to the. tooth, “I intend to send it to my friend, Dr. A. H. Blickle, cura tor of the museum at Ohio Uni versity.” ' —« nwr «.- ■ •* l’S CAFETERIA SCORES AGAIN!

Model Planem,,. /" Re-Activated! My WILLIE] DAVIS Bryan Field in once again filled with the familiar soutuf of roar- Ing airplanes —• but on a much smaller scale, for now they buzz. Model airplanes have replaced the real trainer that once droned in these parts, and Aggies have re placed the air force pilots. Flying model plans seems to be one of the nation’s biggest fads, especially since all minds are] turning now to air power, and with the advent of an ear ly spring, the fad has reached the usually inaccessible Annex. These model plane enthusiasts usually don’t start .their hobby activity until at least March, but the unusual weather has al lowed them to be in operation since late February. When a few of these hobbyists started flying their powered planes on the central dri|Pfield, they de cided to form a club like the many others throughout our country. The school granted the use of Woodall said. building T-lflfl here, with permla- mIom to lock the building at their own dlNcrutlon. At I ho first meeting of the olub, John Woodall wan elected president, with K. F, Miller chosen as sergenol-at-arms. Every weekend, at loait, and many times during the week, weather permitting, you might see these men out of the drlllfleld, each awaiting patiently his turn to fly his own pride. Only one 1| flown at a time, while the others stand nearby, watching. In the combination clubroom- workshop, the members can get up as much emotion over a brok- i en prop, a motor which faila to turn over, or a bowed wing, as a biology professor over dis membered frogs. Each member has a certain table, holding his plans for his next plane, and a certain amount of the limited wall-space, on which to hang his completed projects. Later in the year, the club plans to sponsor open contests for the entire school. “If you’re interested in, would like to build, just want to watch, or you’re simply cUrious about model airplanes, drop around T-f 166 for the Model Airplane club meetings on Wednesday nights,” There is always only one time each year that a freshman feels equal or superior to the upper classmen; that is on the night of the annual Freshman Ball. The event this year, for the Class of ’52, was last Saturday night, a night that saw the Aggie- land Orchestra play beneath a canode of maroon and white streamers draped across* a white lattice-work that presented an at tractive picture to any eye. The outline of a large “52” stood out clearly over the green floral arrangements surrounding t. h e /A ►son Elected to Head Fish Biology Club ge.
