; y. Cameron’s Letter
In ^ letter to Dean W. L. Pen-
bftrthy, JlfUgh S. Cameron, Rice
Dean of Men, said thht all 'large
dance areas in Houston are en
gaged forihat night. He suggested
that the dance be Ij^d on two
large basketball courts iin the Rice
fieldhouse. j
“We have received several es
timates for orchestras from Dick
Ballftw, Shep Fields! and Jimmy
Dorsey," Cameron wrote. None of
these are definite however.
Additional Dance Space
•Cameron went on td say that the
lounge 1 and examination room in
the basement of Fondren Library
could be. used in conjunction with
the basketball courts. Music for
these areas could be “piped’’ elec
trically to a snack bar ■ adjacent
-td the locations. 1 ■ T ,
,A bush-covered walk, connecting
the two places is about one eighth
of a mile long. Spreading the
dance in such a manner would
add somle variety to the situation,
Cameron said, i

Hens at A&M
ffloulfry Farm
Kept Cool
How would you like to be in a
oom 30°—35° copier than the out-
idp temperature 1 That is the hape
jy fate of a group of hens at the
A&M poultry farm, Johh L. Skin
ner said today:
Skinner, a graduate of Universi-
tyjof Nebraska who is doing grad
uate work in poultry husbandry at
A&M, ha? refrigerated these hens
to test the effect of temperature
changes on the fertility of their
eggs. All ; factors are constant ex
cept the temperature.
Six heris remain in the box, six
other remain outside, and two oth
er groups' of six are alternated for
a week.iji and a week out of the
Some facts which are becoming
obvious, according to Skinner, are
that the hens which remain iii thei
box are laying fewer eggs and eat
ing less feed. The effects on fertil
ity will not be known for some
t me because of the time element
involved in hatching the eggs.

Visual Aids Projection Gets
Improvement by A&M Profs.
ij j- ' • I •' I ! ’; * *
An improvement in method of projection of visual aids
such as slides and motion pictures has recently been develop
ed here by two professors in the course of their industrial
duties.
D. W. Fleming, associate professor, Mechanical Engine
ering Department and Bob M. Gal-’
laway, assistant professor, Civil ’
Engineering Department, have de
veloped stationary and portable
models of a screen which permits
daylight showing of motion pic
tures and slides. By use of the
screen the projector is used ih
front of the audience.
The pictures projected are re
flected by means of one or more
mirrors to the screen which stands
alongside the projector.
“The significant.i advantage in
Use of this screen,” Callaway
said, “is that persons can be in
structed in the classroom, the shop
or in public under the conditions
of the moment.^ There is no need
for darkened auditoriums and dis
rupting movement of persons from
one area pf a building to another.
“Also important is the fact that
with the use of the screen the
lecturer can himself operate the
projector from his usual position
in front of the audience,” Galla-i
way said.
Visual aids are an important
instructional media of schools,
civic groqps, industries, institu
tions and governmental agencies
in presentation of educational in
formation, Callaway points out.
Complete details of the screen
are given in a research report en
titled, “Daylight Movies for Shop
Classrooms,” available at the Tex

orrespomlent
LONDON, Aug. 14.—(Spl) —
A&M’s first post-war European
stpdy tour ts on its final lap now..
Friday, August 19, we will
board a ship for the trip home.
[n the last 10 days we have
torched fiVe countries, Switzer
land, Belgium, Holh.nd and Eng
land. ’ \ \ ;
Our trip across the English
Channel deserves mention because
the variety of experiences.
The 16-man group split up iA
Paris. j j ; •; V: \ K
Bill Bilsing of College Station
took off alone to visit relatives iin
Germany.;'Two of ti e men stayed
in Paris—one Waiting for money
fram home and the other being
doctored for a caie of trench-
mouth.
Then Don Jarvis and Mermen
Ji .ccard bought bicycles in Brus
sels and took off fo : Calais. The
remainder of the |Toup stopped
one night!in Antwerp and two in
Amsterdam:. % ■
I came across the Channel with
silx others in the daytime—night
passage being filled. It was a
rather rough day for five of the
seven hours. At least 75 percent
o the entire ship hit the rail at
ope time or another, y , I
I know that I was green
;wice, but stood in the spray
o soothe my stomach. Not
me of air group got sick. But
t was a different case with the
night pajiy.
Russ Lown of S&h Antonio was
•X
bunked in the very prow of the
ship, with ah • odorous cargo of
onions below him. So he and Pro-
fessor Joe Meador were the only
ones to drop their cookies.
We have now seen enough of
Europe to begin comparing the
/countries. Switzerland is probably
the best of them all. It is clean,
industrious, modern and not too
expensive, ilf! 1' - '
Also, it is an ideal honeymoon
spot with plenty of scenery, good
food and excellent hotels.
Haris is without doubt the
most enchanting city we have
seen. It has everything—good
food, transportation,, climate,
women, and .fair hotels, plus
many other things to do and
see. V; [ [ j / - •
Venice,; I was amazed to see,
has not been ruined by the tour
ists and is enjoyable for four days
or so. The canals were much
cleaner than !(had expected, and
the city Was Very interesting.
Holland had one very nice town,
Helversum, - Which would have
been a credit to the U. S. You
would have thought it was a new
addition to one of our larger cities
had it not been for the high-pitch
ed roofs [Of the houses.
r- Belgium is undoubtedly the
most expensive country in Europe.
Our meals cost around $1.50; and
everything was j correspom

In addition, the tourist can casl

Thus he can cash $200 worth of

we got a bigger saving by stock
ing up on other currency in ex
change for Swiss francs.
So I save the difference be-j
tween $4.08 and $2.70 for every
pound I spend in England.
