Invitation Deadline Set fop Saturday'Nor editor of Riggins Relates Public Ph Of Accoui iting "Efficient managsment has come to realize that a compe tition gets keener, the need for accounting risen,” Russell M. Riggins, partner of Arthur Young A Co., National Firm of -Public Accountants, pointed out to members of the Accounting Bo- k’Jety lu„t night. Accountants today command top Nklaiiei*. It is not uncommon for a 'general partner of a national firm'to receive satarieu from $50- 000 up, Riggins said; A successful public accountant must have a pleaiiing personality, and be able to sell himself as well as the firm he represents. He should have a dei lre to learn. “You'll never know all there is to be known about accounting,” i he said. An advantage of entering the public phase of accoun ling,, besides the high remunerativi! future, is found in the large number and var iety of clients. -i ! j " Students should at all time keep in mind that their clais work and text books are the bads for their accounting training. After graduation, an accountant merely begins to apply what he has learned, and his tex . books are still his stand-by, Rigirins explain ed. Apply for work w th either a public or an industri il firm, , be cause a young account mt Mill find rough going trying lo set up a private practice, he iiaid. Whatever job you nay take, be certain that you enjoy you' work, Riggins emphasized. During the war, Ri jgins served as a Colonel in the Army, and is still active in an advitory capacity with the Army Division of Budget Control.

General Election ? hough they are termed gen- elections, several positions be determined in something less than a general way. Incoming corps seniors will elect their senior yell leaders, the corps representative to the Athletic Council, and an editor of the Ag gieland. Decisions made by the Student Senate last night and which will go before the Student Life Com mittee Monday are expected to have some effect on the latter two flections. ^ Mags, Non-Corps Magazine ; editors will be se lected by the three school coun cils. The non-corps section of the student body will choose a yell- leader, a representative to the Athletic Council, and non-corps Battalion and Aggieland editors. Again, these latter two offices are subject to change by the Stu-j Ident Life Committee. The entire Senior Class (present Junior Class) will choose, under the rules as they now exist, only the! student entertainment manager.! The “entire-Senior Class’ is con-1 strued to be both corps and non-j corps incoming seniors. All elections for general offices by the Class of ’51 will be held; April 27. Story Flops-Magician Fails In Post Death ‘Can Kicking’ Columbus, O., April 13——This could have been one heck of a Story. Unfortunately, however, we must report: r There still is no petiivity in Abrey Mausoleum at Green Lawn Cemetery. ! I L . .. | . (This is the 12th year we have made this same report.) If the spirit of Magician Howard Thurston is hanging' about his burial place, he doesn't care to let anybody know. For the 12th year Claude D. Noble, a 58-year-old Detroit adver tising man, tried today to Contact Thurston’s spirit on the anniversary of his death. Noble stood in the mausoleum and held a can of cement. If Thurston’s spirit was near (and able), it was supposed to knock the Cement from Noble’s hand. Before the magician died in 1936 he and Noble made a pact to try experiments, such as today’s. Thurston promised to manifest himself after death, if he could. If that can had dropped, oh brother! ! But it didn’t. i Rusty Ray Rusty, a student at the Univer sity of Texas, will represent the Houston A&M Club as duchess in the Cotton Psgeant end Ball.

The opening and closing acts were centered around a large sit uation map in the regimental com mand post of the 7th Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division during an atr tack.
