Mastodon’s
Tooth Found
By Biologist
My G. F. ‘’FIG" NEWTON
No more mMMtodonM roam the
earth. 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.” '

‘Patsy’ Named Sweetheart
H
m
By ROBERT BYNES
Freshman Class President Ralph Rowe presents Miss Patsy
Cater, the Freshman Mweethesrt, with an engraved compact at the
Freshman Rail last Haturday night.
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
