There are 24 Agg'iea here, out of a total of 640 cadets from all over the U. S. V Our day is from <1 a. m. to 6 p.m. and Is plenty rugged. Al though the routine is like that of a " ‘‘Fish" at AAM, our Off-duty hours amply compensate for the long duty hours. We have officer’s privileges and the use of the officer’s clubs for ourselves and our.-dates. Friday night a dance was held - in the officer’s club for the summer camp men, whi?h was a great success, with the A&M men, complete with boots and battle jackets, in the middle of everything. All of the A&M cadets attended and came away well supplied with names and addresses in their little black books. ' • j ' Vj L^e have visited the Ordnance School, where commissioned offi cers receive further training, and have also seen a testing laboratory where Ordnance equipment was “winterized” and tested at a tem perature of 70 degrees below zero. We were victorious in a ball game with Citadel, beating them 15-3. In trying to steal third, Phil McDaniel plowed up about five feet of dirt with his nose, only to be called out. The next scheduled game is against Clemson College. Members of the team are I. R. Burch, H. Enderle, Phil McDaniel, George Keene, Dick McGannon, Bill Penrod, Leon Hampton, George Kent, Wylie Wooten, and Weber McNeese. Friday we went to the Army Chemical Center at Edgewood, Maryland, Wh+ro we watched dis play* of their equipment and met the Aggie* attending the Chemical Warfare camp. \ Hilbiirn HcMigiiN An Ag Vet Siipervinor Raul llilburn has resigned his position as regional iupervisdr/of vettrans* aduaatlon In Agriculture to aecapt the position of vocational agriculture teacher at Uateivills High Hchool. starting July L He has been with the veterans pro* gram slnch March 1, 1041. taught vocational agriculture in New Braunfels,: ./T * E.

Progreea of the 1949 Develop ment Fund was reported by James B. Hervey, '42, executive secretat-y, of the organization, lie stated that the fund was already above the total for last yearj and probably will break all existing records in the history of the fund at A&M. Hervey added that the older eastern schools of 1 New England were watching A&M’s progress in this field with a great deal of in terest, and it was becoming dp-j parent that A&M will equal or lead many of those schools in the solidarity of its former student participation in the Development Fund. >ue$ts jA;At ts jre Unwilling n the Windy Gty *4,407,532 ppropriation ' " Aualin, Tikur JIvm {mlHdUX U/lllltKr Tm» AlrM wag, VoiRd WARD 26-*-( Special e ZB^-fSpecia ni—Congressman [ague was the helo an; tour, ents have onjayi the oi sst.
