such insufferable weather just
a little east of Juarez, were
guests at a dinner last
week given by the El Paso

Harry Stiteler spoke and
pictures of the Aggie—TCU
football game were shown.
ROTC cadets representing seven
schools arrived Saturday to begin
the six week period of summer
training. Two hundred seventy-
two students are in the encamp

Training for the cadets will e
