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

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

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.

“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

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

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.

Something entirely new in
local radio entertainment will
originate in the studios of
WTAW Friday afternoon at

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
