It will be located in the center of the campus. Norton and Bayfield were given a contract to plan an Animal In dustries building at Prairie View A&M. The building, .which will test 1 about $362,000, will have 30.000 square feet of floor space. Tatum and Quade will be arch itects for an Engineering Build ing at Arlington State College. A 1470.000 Structure, it will occupy 40.000 square feet of floor space. Hedrick was named architect for a 34,000 square foot agricul ture building at Tarleton State College, Stephenville, which will cost approximately $376,000. Working Capital Authorized The bo'ard appropriated $144,800 for plans and preliminary expenses on buildings and improvements authorized for the early stages of the construction program. Included in this group were farm layouts, rOads and sewers, the Ad ministration Building, a wing for the Electrical Engineering Build ing, a Veterinary Hospital unit, the Francis Hdll addition, boiler and steam line extensions, the ASC En gineering Building, the Plant and Animal Industries Building and an Engineering Building at Prairie View, and utilities, sidewalks, and miscellaneous installations at Tarle ton. •! The board authorized expendi tures of $600,000 for new projects and completion of old ones on the A&M campus. | The sum of $94,233 was appro priated for initial equipment for the Biological Sciences building. Com pletion of water and sewer lines on the main campus drtw an appro priation of $4,997.99. Award of a contract for con struction of a new Science Build ing wing at Tarleton to W. A. Brunson of Dallas was confined. The Brunson bid was low at $112,387. The original allocation of $150,000 for this project was reduced to: $119,000. The board appropriated $20,000 for construction of! a cinder track at Tarleton, and Chancellor Gibb Gilchrist was authorized to receive bids and award contracts. New Department Aided An appropriation of $50,000 was approved by the board to create a reserve for equipment for the new Department of Oceanography. Authorized in July, the new De partment is the first of its kind in the Southwest, and will be de voted to studies of the Gulf Coast area. It is headed by Dr. Dale F. Leipper, who came to A&M in September from the Scripps Insti tution of Oceanography, LaJolla, California^ to organize the depart ment. The library wgaj voted a supple mental appropriation of $50,000 dollars for purchase of new books and periodicals. Station.

Corps Picture Schedule Given Corps students began to have their individual pictures taken yesterday according to Jim Wood- all, corps co-editor of the Aggie- land 1950. Woodall emphasized that the corps students must have their pictures made within the periods specified on the following schedule because there will be no make-up pictures made for those persons who fail to do so. He added that executive officers, first sergeants, and staff members should have two pictures made, one with the garrison cap and one without. Pictures are to be made at the Aggieland Studio and a charge of two dollars must be paid at the time the pictures are made, Woodall said. The schedule for corps students is as follows: CORPS SENIORS Nov. 28 through Dec. 1: A through Dec. 2 through Dec. 6: I through k Dec.J through Dec. 10: S through CORPS JUNIORS Dec. 12 through Dec. 15: A through M Dec. 16 through Dec. 20: N through Z CORPS SOPHOMORES Jan. 4 through Jan. 7: A through J * Jan. 9 through Jan. 12: K through Jan. 13 through Jan. 14: U through • Z 1 CORPS FRESHMEN Jan. 16 through Jan. 17: A through M Jan. 18 through Jan. 19: N through Z The Most Int mate The M Christmas North Gate )st Personal i j ‘ j | ° f | • I : ' etnembrances YOUR PHOTOGRAPH aggielAnd studio College Station : ■., ■ Local Poets Choose Carson President The Bryan-College Station Chap ter of the Texas Poetry Society met Sunday for an brganizational meet ing with Dr. T.

Trustees of the research fund and the executive committee of the American Association of Petrol eum Geologists have approved a grant of $500 to the Texas Engin eering Experiment Station and the Department of Geology for work on “Experimental Tectonics.” The tectonics research project duplicates fn the laboratory with scale models geologic structures encountered in nature. Such re search gives a better understand ing to petroleum geologists of the actual conditions found below the earth’s surface, according to the Geology Department. Studies in this direction, by means of the mathematically sealed mod els, are expected to result in consid erable new information to this sub ject of widespread interest In the geological field, the department said. An asphalt of Texas Highway Department specification has been chosen to represent the salt for reasons of its relatively low spec ific gravity, high viscosity, insol ubility in water and availability. Sediments are represented by granular materials of a local source. Deformation taking place is made more evident in the models through use of marker layers to provide a color contrast in the otherwise homogeneous materials. The well-known ' plastic flow theory of the origin of salt domes has been followed as a theoreti cal basis for model Construction and study. Several preliminary conclusions have been reached as a result of experimental studies to date. These deal with origin of the salt domes, A Harried Reporter Great Falls, Mont.——Beards grew thick and bristly in the coun ty jail while legals chins wagged.

[Scoring Drives Rri<‘fly| the fcoring was thus: 1. Rudy Bauman recovered Glen Lipjjman’g fumble on the Aggie 20 and Perry Samuels, Clay and Borneraaq rushed it over in seven plays. Cljay, who had a 12-point total for the day, then made good the first iof hi* six conversions. 2. The j; Aggies rolled 60 yards in 14 plays with Dick Gardemal passing and Smith bucking the line. Smith took it over from the one-foot line. Shaeffer kicked goal and it was 7-7. 3. In the second quarter, Texas capped a 61-yard mrtve when Townsend came scooting around from the] Aggie 8, took a statue of Liberty handoff from Camp bell and bolted into the end zone. 4. Townsend went over guard from the] one, climaxing a scoring drive which consumed 14 plays and covered J4 yards. 5. Thep came the slugging pen alty, Goff punched over from the three and Texas led, 21-bl, at half time. | 6. Towhsend supplied most of the spark as Texas moved up to the cadet 26] where Campbell un corked a: pass to end Ben Procter, The baldjing end was knocked out of boundfi on the one-foot line and Clay burst across on the next play. 7. The Longhorns lead became 35-14 after five and a half min utes of the final period when Townsend squirted off tackle from the four. It was a 20-yard effort that began with Bobby Dillion in- tercepting^Gardemal’s pass. 5 8. Texas finally rolled in its guns with only 1:61 remaining. This time the Orange moved 65 yards on 11 plays, Levine going the last 10 over left tackle. Game At A Glance > What’s Cooking AICHE MEETING, Tuesday, Nov. 29, Pet. lecture room.
