j Chief] Justice Thomas B. Coe of
the 9th Court of Civil Appeals at
Seaumpnt had ruled that in this
tase “ihe crap game in which the

that it was the “usual and cus

eihoot craps early in thei morning

job by their employers^ The em
ployer knew of the practice, the
court said.
4 Testimony showed that Williams

fell and hit the concrete floor, and
died of his injuries. The man who
" hit him was' fined on a guilty plea

Turkey Improvement Jplan to
the Turkey Management clahs un
der the direction of Ross Sherwood
last Thursday.
According to Draper, the purpose
of the 1 plan is to afford protection
from unscrupulous competition and
enable purchasers to buy poultry
with more confidence. J
Its objectives are to improve
production and market qua ity of
turkeys through-better
and to reduce losses from
In order to do this, Draper said,
a breeding stage is set up | of U. S.
Approved, U. S. Certified, U. S.
Register of Performance, and U,
S. Register of Merit to help car
ry out the purpose and objectives
of the plan. To get these classifi
cations the breeding stock must
meet reqirements- set bp by the
N. T. I. P.
A pullorum classification is also
set up in order to assure turkey
raisers of reduced losses from
pullorum. It has three stages be
ginning at pullorum controlled,
and progressing to pullorum
passed, and then pullorum clean.
' According to Draper, if every
breeder would follow the plan
as set forth by the state board,
losses from disease would be re
duced and the market quality im
proved.

Now 6 Aggiettes 9
’Dates as Goal
BY DAVE COSLETT
Let’s take a little trip to Temple.
Why? 'tVell, I can give you i;|>
good reasons.
And all thirteen of the reasons
ciin be summed up in one little
plirase—The Texas Aggiettes.
It seems that in the town of
T jmple,: only some 90 mjles dis
tint, the; Aggie Spirit hijs really
tt ken root. And l’ll guarantee that
it s probably the prettiest bunch of
Aggie Spirit you have seen in quite
some time.
But let’s start at the beginning.
Last September, when all of us
tiooped in various forms hr reluc-
ti nce back to this beauty spot of
the Brazos Button, two Temple
residents came to Aggieland, too.
II was their first trip, and they
were rather pleased, to Isay the
hast
One of them expressed it this
way, “We were at Aggieland for
the Villanova game and came home
so elated over the Aggie Spirit that
we could talk about nothing else
for days.”
The speaker, not one to go at
things lightly, continued, “We soon
realized that we couldn’t go to
A&M every week-end (as much
as we’d like to!) so we decided to
dp something to build up Aggie in
terest ih Temple.”
And they did.
To fully appreciate the signi
ficance of that decision, you
hould know the person who
ade it. She’s a lively little
rown-eyed brunette who stands
answers
to the
name
»f “Jodie”, and loves lo dance,
late Aggies and come to A&M.
The Other member of the duet,
ary Mangham, adds pretty
rongly to the argument, too.
This 6’4”, long-haired brunette
sponds to the name of “Clarence”
apd loves dancing.
The two girls found their solu
tion in the formation of the Texas
ggiettes, a club composed en-
y of Temple girls who “show
njte interest in Tej(as A&M
5r
Theirl first step was to contact
ie president of the Temple A&M
others' Club who proved to be in
hearty agreement with the ideas
p(ut forth by the girls.
With the aid of the)
A&M Mother’s Club, they
deeded to carefully select
from what the^r considered Temple’s
“cream of the crop.”
And thus H was that the Tex
as Aggiettes were born with a
charter membership of 13 girls.
Jody, who goes by the more for
mal Jo Ann at Temple Junior
College, was elected president
and Mary was chosen vice-presi
dent.
A carefully drawn-up constitu
tion was then submitted to the
Mother’s Club and approved. The
preamble of this form reads as
follows:
“We, the members of the Texas
Aggiettes, ate hereby organized
for the purpose of furthering Ag
gie interest iii Temple and of sup
porting the Texas Agricultural
and Mechanical College at all
times. We also advocate good
wholesome entertainment for girls
and boys and we will do our best
to keep Temple ranked tops, mor
ally and physically, in the opinion
of the Aggie
Another interesting article in
the constitution comes under the
heading “Sqci&l Activities.” It
reads, “Anytime an Aggie wants
a date, it is the responsibility of
the Texas Aggiettes to see that
he gets a cute and nice date.
It is also our duty to show him
a good time jvhile he is in Temple
and to makje him feel welcome
and at horn
That’s what the lady proposes
—and they feally seem to mean
it. But, what about the members?
Here’s p few of the major points
of information. 4.
Beverly Hiijikle, secretary for the
organization, jhfts light brown hair,
blue eyes, (ind stands 6’2”. At
Temple Junior College, where she
is a student, she answers to the
name of “Bug.”
Another brunette, this one blue
eyed, handles monetary matters
for the group. Jean Ray by name,
she stands 5’6” tall,; and is also
a student at TJC.
Gigantic sergeant-at-arms for the
group is 5’3” Joy Hoherd, who
might weigh almost 100 pounds
soppin’ * wet. This brown-eyed
brunette also attends TJC.
Audrey “^udie” Barnett, Ag-
giette, reporter, is 5’ 4” and boasts
Green eyes and strawberry blonde
hair. She works as a secretary
for the Roark Nash Company in
Temple.
In charge of keeping the his-
n pro- tory for the group is Gloria Spinn,
—^rs a 5’4” brunette with green eyes.
Gloria is known as “Dutch” at her
alma-mater, Hieronymous Busi
ness School.
Tommie Jo Estes, answering ap
propriately enough to the nick
name “T. J.”, is the Aggiette song-
leader. Another brown-eyed brun
ette, she is 5’4” and a student at
TJC.
Stepping down just two inches
we find Eddie Jean Heard, £. lit
tle gal with brown hair and eyes,
who also counts herself among
the students at TJC.
Another of the non-college girls
is 5’4” Camille Blackburn. This
brown-haired, green-eyed lass is
an employee at Stewarts’ Shop in
Temple.
For those who prefer brown
eyed blondes, there is TJC student
Mildred Faulkner who also tips
the 5’ 4” mark.
In the blue-eyed blonde depart
ment there is 5’5” Judy Chapman,
another TJC student, whose mark

Seeking Ag Subscriptions
BY DEAN REED
Dust off that pitchfork; sharpen
that plow—get 45c ready, for the
time is NOW.

This uninspired poetry just
about sums up Jim Park’s latest
maneuver for boosting circulation
of the Agriculturist, which he edits.
The boys were whoopin’ it up on
the second floor of Goodwin and
came up with a contest, which
should bear much interest for each
of the thirteen clubs under the
School of Agriculture.
1 11J : • ■
This contest, now in its second
week, has each of the club mem
bers competing for subscriptions
to the Agriculturist, A&M’s reply
to Farm and Ranch, selling now
at 45< l each..
Presently the Agronomy Society
is leading the field, with the Ag
Engineers second. The winning
group will be awarded a barbecue,
courtesy of the Agriculturist.
“There are no strings attached,
no methods barred,” Park said
when asked rules of order for the
campaign-contest. “The contest is
open to all paid-up members of
these clubs,” he added.
The contest is an annual one.
Last year, victor of the campaign
was the Landscape Art Club.
Subscription blanks may be ob
tained by entrants at the Agricul
turist office, or those in the back
of the current issue inay be used.
The contest will close January
