In Black and Wliite 'Specting Is Simplified With New Air Photographs Queen Candidate | GiriS Not First Says Scientist By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE Af'.sociateri Press Science Editor Ithaca, N. Y.— , A i )—Would you like ..to prospect for diamonds just Ly looking at air photos taken from .a mile or two up? Or uranium?" Or gold, tin, iron, lead, oil? AH this can he done, and much more, with Cornell University’s air- 1 iane photos of the earth’s land surface. Tnis new “map” was de scribed today. The pictures are black and white. They cover about a third of the land of the entire earth. The clues were developed by prof. D. J. Belcher, of the school of civil en gineering. This is an outgrowth of World War U when ,Belcher wrote General Mac Arthur's staff sug gest ing what they could discover by looking more closely at aerial photos. He was instructed to catch the next plane. Some clues are almost incred- Statistic --- (Continued from Page 5) pd 17 times for an average of ‘11.1 yards per try. The Southwest Conference has three men in the first 21 in total offense division. SMIJ’s Kyle Icotr is number 12 with 66 carries in 3 games for 491 yards. Fred Benners, also of SMU, is number 21 with 62 carries in 3 games for 405 yards. TCU’s Gil Bartosh is in No. 16 spot with 81 carries in 3 games for 442 yards. Coley, of VMI, is No. 11 with 68 carries in three ga?nes for 493 yards. Fred Benners, of SMU, is num ber 4 passer in the nation. He has tossed the pighide 59 times in three games, and has completed 34 and has had only two intercepted for a completion percentage of 57.6. He has total of 433 yards and has connected with four for TD’s. Coley of ViVll has tossed 54 times in three games, has had'25 comple tions and four interceptions for a completion average of 46.5. He has gained 420 yards and has tossed two TD passes. White of SMU is 13lh in pass re ceiving, having caught 12 in 3 games for 170 yards and two for touchdowns. In the punting department, Lary Isbell of Baylor is the only South west Conference player in the first 15. He is in ninth spot with 17 punts in three games for 41.1 yards a try. Pat Brady of Nevada is third with 42.8. Beal VMI ’Mural News — (Continued from Page 5) Schmidt, and Calloway turned in victories of 0-2, 6-0, and 6-4.

Drainage pipes, buried under ground, and not visible when you walk over them, show as thin white lines. The earth is a little drier directly above them. . This causes a slight change in color of vegetation which shows white. White spots the size of pin points in the midwest were iden tified as ant holes. For several feet around each hole the ants track the vegetation enough to change the colors. Gold deposits have been d’s- covered on photos by earthquake faults. Iron by a slight change in colors of leaves. Air oil pros pecting is widespread. Around uranium deposts there is usually-.colored earth, mainly yel low. This shows white. Diamonds are found in “pipes.” These are circular deposits of blue clay about two miles in diameter, Wae< >-McLen nan Chib Picks Officers Weldon D. Gardner, senior flori culture student, was elected pres ident of the Waco-McLennan Coun ty Club in their initial meeting of the school year last night in Good win Hall. Guy D. King, junior business major was picked as vice-president, and Tommy Butler, senior Man E. student, secretary. John P. Thomas, Junior Ag Engineering student, was selected treasurer, and John W. Caple, junior Man E. student, was made sergeant-at-arms. extending deep down. Prospectors run plough furrows looking for blue clay, but this requires years. The vegetation on top of a blue clay pipe is different enough to re veal the circular formation. The size of grains of sand may he “seen.” An example is dunes, having what look like long, gray fingers streaming inland. The winds blowing inland have strip ped away the fine sand, leaving coarsers staff, in ridges, which reveal their presence by whiter color. These fingers show sands which autos cannot cross, but tractors can. Farther inland are likely to he signs of ciay, which autos can cross, but which clog, tractor treads. Belcher says anyone can learn the photos, 'there are about thirty main formations. These repeat all over the world. The land forms around Cornell repeat in Novia Scotia and Switzerland. Those of central Arizona in Persia, Austra lia and Africa. The volcanic soils of the Aleutians repeat in Korea and Japan. The main formations divide into hundreds of others which can he identified, and interpreted. A valuable clue for the United States is new gravel deposits where highway construction has consumed most of the known gravel. Air photos show where re clamation projects are feasible, where land is wet, dry, rough, smooth, passable or impassable for equipment. Senate (Continued from Page 1) Following is a list of the corii- mittees and their members. Executive Committee: F e r r i s Brown, Jimmy Onstott, Autrey Frederick, I. F. “Monty” Mont gomery, Bill Boddeker, find Duane Vandenberg. Welcoming Committee: Bill Cor nish, Thomas Jewell, Dan Davis, Tom Poynor, and Doyle Griffin. Election Committee: George Ger- mond, Don Young, John Stuntz, Nolan Brunson, and Bill Davis. Social Committee: Joe Fuller, Allan Eubank, Charlie Royalty, T. E. Flukinger, and Karl Meyers. Exchange Store Committee: W. A. Sky-Eagle, Curtis Edwards, Brad McAllister, R. L. Sturdivant, L. B. Weddell and Bobby Jack. Publicity Committee: Travis Dean Reed and Alfred Gibson. Hospitttl Committee: Bill Ells worth, ’Hans Killingstad, and ChaHes Ruble. The sophomore vice president and the senator from Dorm 4 will also serve on this com mittee when they are chosen. Mess Committee: Bill Brabham, Ed Sandlin, and the freshman vice president, when he is elected. TISA Committee: Dan Davis and Curtis Edwards. Three senators— TISA officers — are also on the committee. They are Fuller, Eu bank, and Royalty. Committees listed above are standing committees and will serve throughout the year. In addition, the Senate got down to business immediately and established four other committees to work on press ing problems. Rope Off Seats Four men were named by Parse to see that the various student “Aggieland” MACS TOOl f “Aggieland” SPOTTED WITH A JEWELED STAR VE/uIfa&rit JEWELERS ENAMa BRIGHT 601D OR SHININGSHVER FOR HIM OR HER" AND YOUR FRIEN1 The Exchange Store 'Serving Texas Aggies" seating areas in the Kyle Field stands are roped off for Saturday night’s VMI game. Meyers was named chairman, with Killingstad, Eubank, and Young serving on the committee. The group will also observe operation of the seating arrangement and report to the Sen ate at its next meeting, on Nov. 2. In order to investigate the traf fic problem on the campus and make suggestions for its improve ment, a committee composed of Onstott, chairman, G e r m o n d, Young, Dan Davis, and Jack was named. Date Ticket Reduction Upon a motion by Reed, another committee was appointed by Parse to investigate possibilities of re ceiving lower prices on date tickets for conferende games. An A&M student must now pay $3.60—the standard price for non-student tick ets—to purchase a ticket for his date. Since all other Southwest Conference schools are co-educa- tional, male students in those schools can usually date a girl who has her own athletic coupon, sev eral of the senators pointed out. Appointed to the committee were Reed, Brunson, Bill Davis, Freder ick, and Griffin. Jewell, representing the Trailer- Project House area, asked in a mo tion that a committee be appointed to investigate the closing of the Trailer Area, which he said “is intended to go by next fall.” “We are a very small percentage of the student body, but should this area be closed, many men would suffer a great financial loss. Some of these trailer houses have been built at costs approaching $5,000.” Peggy Ward Miss Ward, a sophomore at Sam Houston Slate Teachers Col lege, is one of the latest entries in the 75th Anniversary Queen contest which : .s sponsored by 'The Commentator. The Houston lad who entered the home town beauty is Van Vandenberg. Kramer Elected Vet Med President Paul Kramer was elected presi dent of the Sophomore Veterinary Medicine Students Club at a meet ing held recently. Other officers elected were Phil Cadenhead, vice-president; W. L. Anderson, secretary-treasurer; D. D. White, sergeant-at-arms; T. L. Benson, parliamentarian; Hayden Jenkins and Henry Melvis, council. Baltimore, Oct. 12—CP 1 —It was not to a new world that Christoph er Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492, a Johns Hopkins Univer sity geographer believes. A well-beaten track between Asia and the Americas probably existed, two or three thousand years before Columbus made his epic first voy age, Professor George F. Carter writes in the current issue of the “Southwestern Journal of Anthro pology.” Americans pay tribute today to Columbus as America’s discoverer. Dr. Carter suggests the Asia tic peoples made contact with the western hemisphere some time before 1,000 B.C.—perhaps us early as 2,000 B.C. His theory is based on the fact that plants such as the sweet po tato, cotton, Mexican poppy and certain weeds existed in America and Asia and some Pacific Islands long before “any written record of man’s having traveled between the two points.” Plants can’t originate twice, the geographer holds. “The answer to this puzzle,” Professor Carter concludes, “is that man did make such unrec orded ocean voyages—probably in elaborate, giant canoes. “In addition to plants, ancient explorers from Asia could have brought to the new world such skills as hieroglyphic writing, met allurgy and weaving techniques. “At about the time of Christ, the inhabitants of the old and new worlds were in frequent contact and were exchanging information freely.” What’s Cooking All contributions to What’s Cooking, must be turned in to the Battalion by 5 p.m. of the day preceding desired publicaion.
