Pat Hubert Baffles Owls As Aggies Take Loop Opener, 7-0 believes A&M’s enrpllment next ear will bp cven ; greater than it s now. - ' ! K By SCOTTY SWINNEY > , Texas A&M opened in conference competition yesterday by bombard ing the Rice Owls for a 7-0 win in Rice Stadium at Austin. Good pitching, backed' by some superb fielding and long and well placed hits coming at just tWe right time, gave the Aggies their victory'. Rice, on the other hand, couldn’t get going against the Farmer, and pitcher Bill Bishop of the Owls Was blasted for nine hits. A&M started a rally in the first half of the first inning with two men away, and before the pitcher got himself out of hot water 4 runs had been scored. Russ Mayes led off for tkje Ag- The Farmers played heads-up ball all the way. Pitcher Pat Hu bert, who went the route, allowed only two hits. Three spectacular catches were made by Aggie in fielders. Two of these were by short stop Guy Wallace, who gath ered in two drives across the in field that looked like sure hits. Cotton Lindloff made a diving catch behind second base to kill another hit by the Owls.

For these test to be used effec tively they must be given to ac counting students in many of the college's and universities. Not.only will employers benefit from this program, but the student and col leges will benefit as well. Recently, about 50 A&M senior' accounting students at their re quest took these tests. The achieve ment test required two hours, the orientation test lasted 50 minutes, and the vocational interest examin ation required about 45 minutes. Those who took the tests will - receive their standings before the semester ends, and results wiH be held confidential. These grad es may be used to supplement college grades if the student so I'dwires. / For many years employers have ; bedn hiring by a rule of thumb '(method; it has been an unscienti fic procedure. In the future all ac counting firms will require that th<; prospective employee submit to tests similar to the one which has been developed by the Ameri-i can Institute of Accountants. Oth er professions may well benefit from the work of this group of professionals. Gossett to Address Great Issues Class Ed Gossett, U.

At College Supply Of Water Checked By Dallas Engineer Homer Hunter, consulting engi neer of Dallas, has worked up a report on the College Station wat er supply which is expected to guide the school administration either in re-negotiating its present water contract with Bryan or in taking steps to establish its own source of supply. T. R. Spence, supervisor of the A&M system’s office^ of physical plants, revealed that the report had arrived Tuesday and has been forwarded to the A&M Board’s special water committee which consists of directors jBjell of Dallas, Peeples of Tehuacana and Potts of Belton. ’ The present water. contract be tween Jftyan and College Station will expire next year. A special meeting of the A&M board will be called to decide on the water situa tion, Spence said. ! The Bryan system now has eight wells operating, a third more than were in operation last summer. These might bd expected to furn ish an adequate supply of water for Bryan alone, but with a con tinuation of service to A&M no one can say what demands for water the immediate future will have, Mills P. Walked City Man ager for Bryan, said. \ \ \i What's Cooking FFA COLLEGIATE CHAPTER 7:30 p. m.

By LARRY ROLAND) The prize offspring of this year’s Commentator series will be brand: spanking new off the presses with in the next few days. Featuring this semester’s social season, the March issue of the Commentator detours from the path of its previous issues and presents to its readers articles and cartoons more along the line of college humor. Setting the theme for this issue is the blue and white cover op which an Aggie and his date are dancing "among blue musical notes." / Three feature articles included are "TripleyWeekend," “ASABAB” and “Be It Ever So Humble.” The “Triple Weekend” story is a pic torial diary of the lives of three Aggies as they travel through a weekend on the campus. “Be It Ever So Humble” is a cartoon map of Bryan, College Station, the campus, and the surrounding coun tryside. Such landmarks as "The Bottoms,” Franklin’s, Loupots, the water tower, all combined with a few new landmarks are included in the picture. Humor articles abound in this issue on subjects ranging every where from the horrible aspects of blind dating to that goal of every conscientious student, the grade point. One of these articles en titled “The Devil and the Faculty” presents a satirical picture of th? time when the devil came to this campus looking for new prospects among the faculty. What he found is most humorous. Other humor stories in this is sue are "Death in the Classroom”, “Death in the Desert,” "Tumbow AHStadehtsfill!
