Purpose of the fellowship is to encourage and promote the- study of advanced fundamentals in pow er system engineering. Special work will be done by the recipient on the A-C network calculator and transient analog computer of the Electrical Engineering Depart* ment. \ • The calculator!, valued at $200,* 000, are among the most modem and complete installations of their kind in the United States. They afe receiving heavy uae from elec trical power systems of the South west, from other sections of the United States, and from South America. itccipienta of the Westinghouie Fellowship will be selected by M.

The college employes’ pay paise bill Jester' The emergency measure has already been paised by the House and Senate and will probably bo signed in time to in- ‘'elude the raise in April pay checks, according to u Monday prediction by Representative Johnny 1). Rodg ers, author of the bill. Aimed to benefit college em ployes who have not had a pay increase of at least 16 per cent since koptember, 1047, the bill, at passed would provide such an in CfMfllj • The raise would bti in proportion to former raisM—thus, any college worker who has received a ten per cent increase since September, f 47| would be entitled ip only an ad ditional five per cent under the new measure. ' j , Employes who have had a wage hike of at least IS per cent since that time will not be affected by the bill. The boost would ap ply to only the first $3,000 of any salary. ENTERPRISING BURGLARS PREPARE FOR FUTURE BIG SPRING, Tex. —UP—Two men were held here, charged with the theft of eight tombstones from Big Spring cemetery. , Ross Hall Displays Miniature Bridges Built by Students Three miniature bridge models Mo * being displayed by the Mili tary Science Department in Ross Hall. They were built by January graduates in the Corps of Engi neers, under the direction of Ma jor V. C. Williams, assistant PMS- &T. Recent additions to the training program of ROTC engineering stu dents, the bridges are scale models of the M2 Bailey, the Standard Timber Trussel, and the M4 Float- ing. > I “One of the most important items of engineer construction in time of war is bridging; therefore, famil iarization of bridge construction through studying and handling these models will prove to be an invaluable time-saver for the stu dents attending summer camp this year when they construct full-size bridges of these types,” Lt. Col. Walter H. Parsons Jr., senior en gineer officer at A&M, said.

Not • man to waste • whole lot of timo. Barney married in Jan uary, 1048. to a girl he had been “sweet on” since they were in the sixth grade in grammar school. Her name was Jane Porter, the daughter of a well known tomato grower. Barney > and Jane are now the proud parents of a five-yea old boy and a one year old girl. To get back to Barney’s war effort, we find that he was in the army for 33 months, 18 of which were spent overseas in Germany, Belgium, France, and some of the Balkan countries. He was dischar ged with the rate of tech sergeant Since the old salt mine on the Brazos had its hooks in Barney like it did a few thousand other pre-war Aggies, he found his way bade to A&M in January 1141. “(’hot. C’hoo” Welch showed up in the Kyle Field scramble again that fall and lettered once /m&f, i He lettered again In 1047 and that year was captain of the team. He graduated In Janury 104H with a degree In agricultural economics. When Barney graduated the po sition of intramural manager was open, since C. G. White had become the “wheel” in the Student Actl vitles office. The job was offered to Barney, and he took it. He im mediately started on his graduate work and Will soon receive a mas- ter’a degree in education. Barney filled Spike’s shoes in intramural atheletics just like he knew What he was doing, and has done a fine job ever since. He likes the job and says he will stay with the little office in the southwest corner of the gym until Spike throws him out, / pBdl shouldn't be too soon. / / Barney and family have just bought a house in College Station and have a good start toward be ing another Aggie institution. Part time workers in state col leges will also receive a raise when the bill is signed. Employes paid'from funds other than state appropriations, however, are not mentioned in the measure. The emergency bill will apply only to all of March through Au gust 31, 1949, but Representative Rodgers said that the new pay boost will probably be included in the general appropriations bill now being considered. This proposed appropriations bill, now being debated, would be for many governmental workers and Rodgers thinks j that there is a good chance that l it might also include college employes. Architects to Tour Houston Firms ; ■ : .)■ jr i \ ' / . / j A party of 26 architectural stu dents Will inspect recent architec tural designs and constructions in the vicinity of Houston on April 12, 13, and 14, Ernest Langford, head df the Architecture Depart ment, *aid Tuesday.!

Lippman, Smith To Attend Dinner . Two of the top Aggie/ football player^. Glenn Lippman and Bob Smith, have been invited to appear at the Houston ex-student banquet in the Rice Hotel Thursday night. Coach Harry Stiteler will be the guest speaker and Will introduce the pair of A&M players. This Houston Exes club is the largesV'tfnd perhaps the wealth iest, ip the state, $nd it is ex pected that the subject of scholar ships will come up. Stiteler will drive Lippman and Smith to Houston Thursday after noon, and bring them back late that night. ersWi Presented On Radio Friday Something entirely new in local radio entertainment will originate in the studios of WTAW Friday afternoon at 5 when The Battalion pre sents its “April Fool's Edi tion of the Air.” Variety will be the by-word and hilarity the theme for this 30- minute show which, unlike many local broadcasts, will not teach the radio listeners a thing. Although it won’t pretend to give anything in the way of know ledge, the program has been writ ten so that it will offer plenty in the way of laughs. Three read ers of The Battalion will also bene fit from the show, both by getting a chance to appear on the air, and by receiving a worthwhile prize for their efforts. The three contestants for a quiz part of the program are being se lected on the basis of their answers to the questions which appeared in Monday and Tuesday’s Batta lions. Each of the winners will re ceive a prize donated by the Ex change Store, Names of tho contest wlnnora will be published in the Battalion, and winners will be notified with in a reasonable timo. tar on A joint lecture and discussion tolerant of those who believe differently” will be Held Chapel by three ministers representing the Protestant, ing to J.

Richardson will speak on “Vita min B-12 in Chick Nutrition” at the society’s meeting. Reiser will speak on “Relation Between Fat and Ribo-flavin.” The American Federated Society is a national organization consist ing of members from the Ameri can Association of Biological che mists, American Institute of Nu tritions, and the American Phy siological Society. By BUDDY LUCE |V Including everything from a cloudy front cover to a powder burning western story, the March issue of The Agriculturist hits a new high in A&M student publica tions. The 40-page issue, with little space wasted, includes a host of different articles on such subjects as hawks, soil fertilization, weather predicting, oleomargarine vs. but ter,! rodeo, pigs, ex-editors, droughts, cotton plastics, insecti cides, and grand champion Jerseys. Flanking the table of contents and ataff page is a full-page car toonist’s conception of the sad poem, “The Cow’s Lament.” Upon turning two pagea* the randev comes face to picture with a dan gerous looking hawk that turni out to bo one of the favorite pets of falcon trainer Bill Jenhings, whose falconing atory is told by K. 8.
