America who has had a crab, a
snail; and a flatworm named in

Jscieiace, so they just named them
after me,” he^ said.
For 72 hours a week Price op-

crates a switchboard at the Lan
caster fire department.
But that is only his living. His
real life is in the world of nature.
[In his spare time he has become
a self-taught authority on inverte-
[ brate paleontology—the study of
fossil creatures without backbones.
It took a lot of backbone on

he smiled, "but it does;re^uire aca

have that. I never [went , beyond
grammar school.” . j f f
Often people discovered their

Short Course Will
Be Held on Campus
R. L. Nichola of the Magnolia
Petroleum Conipany, Beaumont,
will preside at the opening session
of the fourth annual short course
on Instrumentation for the Pro
cess Industries, on the campus
Wednesday and Thursday.
“Industrial plants which oper
ate for the continuous processing
of fluids are of great importance
in the southwest,” G. L. Farrar,
director of the short course said.
“These include, for example, pe
troleum refineries, natural gaso
line and cycling plants, and many
of the chemical plants of the area,”
he pointed out.
The series is designed to lead
to an improved understanding of
the principles and practice of in
strumentation as applied to indus
tries. Particular attention will be
given to new developments; talks
will be directed toward all engin
eers whose work requires know
ledge of industrial Instrumenta
tion.
Top-flight authorities in the
fields of instrumentation will de
liver talks, according to Farrar.

First it was the flying sausages.
Then the incomparable schmoos
appeared. Now cartoonist A1 Gapp
hi s reached to the extremities of
his ihiaginatiori and invented the
‘‘kigpiy.” I ■ 4«
Th* new aniriial lives up to his
name completely, always desiring
peoplje to “kig; me.” When some
obliging soul complies the kigmy
sails j into the blue, while reciting
joyoris lines of ecstatic bliss. He
likes being kicked.
Wliat is the future of the kigmy?
He last saw him in Australia, with
his 49,999,999 brethren..
The kigmy is an odd looking ani
mal. go odd, in fact, that we’re not
too sure he will come under that
classification. The above bothered
us so much that we proceeded to
interview a group of biology pro
fessors in the Science Building.
After a midnight emergency
meeting of the AMSBFCK (A&M
Kemplin Reveals

tion of Kigmies), the sage gerttle- vertis pg depa
men of science reached a rnomen r the advan
tbus decision. A new order, phylurnj ‘
family, species, et al will become
a necessity for this new; addition to
American literature. After a sec-,
rk ballot, the professors emerged
\Vith the classification of Posteri

(cent strip, the kigmies were part
fish, part homing pigeon, part
bloodhound, part football, and part
Bartipan.
! Our curiosity was famished for
lack of detail on the kigmy, so we
committed the unpardonable sin;
of la Battalion. While the assistant
editor, in charge of estimating the;
quality of comic, was asleep as his;
post, we quite neatly slipped the
key to Komic Kingdom from his
pocket. Stealing quietly past a

last Tuesday night. The rodeo is
to bej held in thp animal husbandry
paviljion. The quarter horse con
ference will also be held that
weekeiid. j
According to Carl Kempling
president of the Saddle and Sir
loin Club, there will be three pre-
formances of the rideo this year
instead of the customary two of
previous years, Plans were dis
cussed for adding a novelty act
with sheep dogs and a cutting
horse performance to the show.
The general opinion seemed to'be
that the addition of these perform-
ances to the main eveftts would
add more color to the show.
A film, Which was shown to the
group by B. R. Dana, professor of
the animal husbandry department,
was entitled “Grasslands” and
emphasized control of soil erosiop
and practical use of management
practices.
The profits from the Aggie Ro
deo will be used in sending live-
.stuck Judging teams and rodeo
teams to various contests through
out the United (States. }
