Veterinarians
Hear Stewart,
Receive Praise
Veterinarians were told
that after they receive their
license from the state board
they must register with the
district clerk of the county in
which they set up practice.
“I do not know that there has
ever been a violation of that laW,”
Arthur Stewart told the 176 at the
second annual Texas Conference
for Veterinarians held at A&M
Friday and Saturday. “But thqt
is the law,” he pointed out.
Stewart, lawyer and instructor,
Deparmtent of Business and Ac
counting! at A&M, brought up the
question as to the legality, if such
a case arises, of a veterinarian
holding an animal and disposing of
same, in payment for services per
formed. ; J
He said the attorney general had
been contacted for an opinion. He
pointed out that in some matters
the business which perform^ a'
duty may hold and eventually sell
after proper procedure, such tiling
of value, to satisfy a debt for ser
vices performed upon such thing
of value,"
fttewart also discussed the mut
ter of Vetertnaflam ms wltncuses
in litigation, polnllng out the legal
aspects or Muftt*. He gave
praise to the profession. "You
must he a pretty efficient group,
because you are never In court, so

he said. /] f
The conference wnn Riven
praise by Dr, J, H. Hteele of At

"One of the things I liked about
the conference,’! Dr. Steele, who

Kyle Field Lights, To B

On or before September 1, A&M The stadium is thirty five fdet
will have the best lighted football
stadium in the South or South
west and one of the best lighted
in the country.
Athletic Director Bill Carmich
ael made that; statement Satur
day morning as he described the
new lighting system soon to be in
stalled on Kyle Field.
The six poles and most of the
fittings are at the stadium now
and installation will begin shortly,
Carmichael said.
Each of the tubular steel poles
will carry 24 lights and will give
all of the playing field a lighting
power of 60 foot-caiidles..
There will be one pole in line
with each of the end zone flags
and one at each of the fifty yard
line markers. The poles will be
mounted on concrete pillars, fif
teen feet in height, which will
place the actual lights 115 feet
above the playing field, Carmich
ael said.
Free of Stadium
Completely free of the stadium,
the poles will be based four feet
back of the stadium on the ground.
Music Makers
The orchestra that will play the
music for the operetta, "The
Chocolate Soldier," is in need of
several musicians, according to
Bill Turner, co-director of the
play. The operetta will bo presen
ted in tho Grove on July 7.
The instruments needed are 2
bases, 4 violins, 2 violas, 1 oboe, I
bassoon, 1 clarinet, and 2 trum
pets. Anyone interested in playing
in the orchestra, can contact Tur
ner, or come to the next rehearsal
which will be in the Music Hall
at 7:30 Monday night.
Thursday night; the orchestra
members that were present prac
ticed the first act. The group is
composed of students and others
from Bryan and College Station.
Tryouts for singing parts in
the operetta were held Wednesday

of the cast was selected. Anyon
may try out for any of the
filled positions at any evening/re
hearsal.
Rehearsals are held each/week

Turner concluded.
high.
“With the lights installed com
pletely free of the stadium” Cai'-
michael said, “we will be able to
use all of the lighting fixtures;
except the concrete bases in case
of future stadium expansion.”
Carmichael wohld not speculate
on when any future expansion
might take place. "Let’s get the
lights up and some football games
won first” he said, smiling.
In addition to the field lights,
each of the poles will have a sin
gle spot light on its back side to
light the parking areas and ramps.
Bigger Crowds
Carmichael said he expected a
substantial pick up in attendance
at the night games among the
people who live within a 100 mil*:
radius of the college. J , |
“Only Yankee stadium and a
few other of the really big stuj
diums will have a better lighting
set up than ours," Carmichael en

Opportunities to study abroad
arc nearer at hand than wc might
think, according to H. L. Elkina,
special assistant to the president.
The Slate Department has Issued
a bulletin dealing with educational
exchange betweenXthe United
States and the courtO-ies which
have benefited from tke sale ! of
surplus war material.
By actual 7 agreement/-, these
countries yna^e accepted tW

abroad. Teachers who desire to
get/their experience In a foreign
country may also take advantage
this plan and get paid while]
they travel.
The entire program is author
ized under the Fulbright Act and]
is handled by the State Depart/
ment. The original plan was for
the student to stay for one year,
but Elkins saidj that the stay could
be renewed , in the event that aj
course was not finished.
Two Drawbacks
This has all the aspects of being
something for nothing, but there
are two drawbacks to be consid
ered before packing your bag.
Jhe student must be able to speak
the language of the country j to
which he is going as the lectures
would otherwise present quite a
problem. Secondly, any money
paid to the student abroad cannot
be converted to American money
as none, is available to these, coun
