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.

The vocational interest test pro
duces a profile or "portrait" of
the examinee In terms of his in
terest,
Wide spread Interest among ac-
copnlnnts has been created, and
more (bun !,:i(io accxnuttlng firms
have agreed that they will give
weight to tin 1 official score card
provided under the program In hir
ing new personnel, according to (he
Institute Committee on Selection
of Personnel.
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.

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. \ \

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
