To the club, litis seemed to be plenty of money for the arena but after inquiring around they found that the cheapest possible bid they could get would run at least $2,000 more than they had. Their only alternative was to build it themselves. Work was begun about the mid dle of September and has been proceeding steadily ever since.

Entertainment will be provid ed and all visiting students and guests are invited. Outa sun-tanned face, and lower a point ratios. But they don’t mention that. All ilu y can talk about is the day when the arena will lie finished and iltey or their buddy will vault from a chute sitting astride a wild bronco whose sole inten tion is to unseat the rider. Pat Mitchell, president of the Aggie Rodeo Association, along w.th Tommie Shelton, Martin Man uel, Satch Smith, and Gus Wheeler are a few of the men who devote all their off hours to the arena work and who are the main ram rods of the project. Frank I. “ike” Dahlberg, profes sor of Animal Husbandry and co faculty sponsor of the Saddle and Sirloin Club, said that it would be impossible to ever praise the work of ffhese men enough. “The only thing they get out of this work is the pleasure of build ing the arena. It isn’t everywhere you will find a group of men that will do so much work without pay,” Dahlburg said. As is the case with practically all projects similar to this, there has been the inevitable stumbling blocks to come along to test the patience and ingenuity of these rnen.

Napier “The Business of Running an Air Force” was the subject of the take delivered by Col E. W. Napier PAS&T, to the Business Society last night in the MSC. Col. Napier told the group that the Air Force is big business and men of executive alibity are ne cessary for its successful opera tion. He continued by explaining operational procedures and struc ture of the military establishment. The budget, internal auditing procedures, and the system of checks and balances were also ex plained to the gathering. The Business Society meets the first and third Tuesday of each month. Stiteler Said -- (Continued from Page 4) that was expected of them as sophomores. Will to Win Where the Aggies of 1949 were content to play for a tie—as they did in the Southern Methodist game —the current edition wants only to win. The team has the line and the backs and the know-how this year to do just this. It apparently also has the spirit to keep plugging along. Last year the team that won only one game had this spirit. In fact when some one asked Smith if the Aggie team was discouraged because it trailed Southern Methodist by a couple of touchdowns at the half, he grinned and said, “Shucks, no, that was pretty good for us.” Beat TCU Members of the Air Force Reserve line up for “chow” at a barbecue dinner held recently.
