Stops on Spot
When It’s Hot
When a man’s rear portions get
hot—or rather his truck’s—he just
stops, “rig-lit on the spot.”
Or at least a City of College
Station garbage-truck driver did
that this morning, when the post-
Jiallowe’en contents of his truck
burst into flames in the 100 block
of Park Place.
"When something like that hap
pens, we don’t look for a place
to dump,” the driver said. “We
just stop and aim that truck bed
at the sky.”
The Fire Department answered
the. call, but returned its truck as
the city employees quickly extin
guished the small blaze with near
by garden hoses.

Barber’s Babies
Just Imagination
London, Nov. 1 — (/Pi — Harold
Wreight, a barber, said in divorce
court his wife:
Twice sent him word she had
given birth to twins. She hadn’t.
Once advised him she had trip
lets. She didn’t.
Showed him a borrowed baby and
told him it was theirs. It wasn’t.
Wreight said all this made his
hands so shaky he was unable to
shave his customers. He called it
cruelty.
Judge Blanco White said no, it
wasn’t. He refused the decree.
Mrs. Wreight acted that way,
the judge held, only because she
wanted to become a mother, and
couldn’t.

Seminar to Hear
Talk by Morgner
Professor A. Morgner, of the
Economics department, will talk to
the Social Science Seminar on
the topic, “Can We Bear a Larger
National Debt,” Wednesday, No
vember 1, at 7:30 p. m. in the
YMCA Assembly Room.
The Social Science Seminar is
an organization for faculty and
staff members who get together
once a month to hear discussions
of major developments in the var
ious social sciences. Each discus
sion is led by a specialist of his
particular subject.
Morgner came to A&M in 1947,
after having taught at the Uni
versity of Minnesota, and North
western University in Evanston,
Ill. He is co-author of two books,
“Local Labor Markets,” published
by the University of Minnesota
Press in 1948 and “Problems in
Economic Analysis,” published by
Prentice-Hall in 1948. His article
on “Public Opinion and the Nation
al Debt.” appeared in the Texas
Journal of Science last July.

You’d be surprised how well-be

hospital, hasn’t been bitten in
years; the same is 'true for the. rest
of the staff. “It aij depends on the

extra precautions with them. On

Collegiate Science
Organize Academy
The A&M Chapter of the Col
legiate Academy of Science began
its semester activities with a meet
ing at 7:30 p, m. last night in the
Science Building Lecture Room.
After the club was organized,
plans were made for a trip to the
annual state meeting to be held in
Dallas in December.
Papers will be presented and dis
cussed at future meetings.
On just an average day it isn’t
unusual for 30 pups or kittens to
be brought in for treatment, which
can range anywhere from vaccina
tion for rabies to a major opera
tion.
But don’t think that dogs and
cats are the only animals brought
in. The number of patients brought
in is conspicious by its variety.
The staff remembers, for in
stance, the time a dove was brought
in with an injured wing—later
Local Architects
Enter Competition
Three senior architecture students
of A&M have been named to enter
student competition of the Texas
Society of Architects for designing
a clinic building for medical doc
tors.
They are Harry L.
Memphis, Term., Billy C
of Mount Enterprise and William
R. Lenzen of Houston.
Designs of the three students
were chosen for entrance in the
state contest on the basis of an
elimination contest at A&M. As
winners of the local contest, they
were awarded $25 each to defray
expenses in attending the TSA
convention in Dallas Nov. 2 and 3.
Drawings will be judged in Dal
las Nov. 1.
Other Texas schools to be re
presented in the contest are Texas
Tech., Rice, University of Texas,
and University of Houston.
Expression
You learn to judge a dog’s tem
per by the expression on liis face.”
While the Clinic is operated pri
marily to instruct students in
small-animal practice, experimen
tation with animals is not allowed.
Only Senior VM students are per
mitted to diagnose or treat pa
tients, and their diagnoses and
treatments must be checked by
either Dr. Dumb or Dr. Armistead
before actual treatment can be un
dertaken.
The daytime staff of the hospi
tal consists of Drs. Lurch and
Armistead, and Senior VM stu
dents assigned there. At night,
iwo VM students are on duty, with
ihe two resident surgeons on call
at all times.
In Car Crashes
As might be expected, quite a
few of the patients are animals
which have been hit by cars.
On the other hand, many such
animals are not brought lo the
clirdc at all, their owners seeming
to consider them already done for.
“Nothing could be further from
the truth,” Dr. Dumb says.
“Of all the animals brought here j
that have been hit by cars, we have
saved more than 95%. The truth
•is, if a dog lives long enough to
reach the hospital the chances are
that he will recover, with proper
treatment.
Simply because an animal is hit
by a car does not mean that he
has been killed.

For the sea serpent has a won
derful history.
Originally he was such a monster
that he could gulp down a ship
without even bothering to masti
cate.
Though time has reduced his
proportions, he has wandered back
from time to time in circumstances
that have been difficult to explain.
Consider these three examples
dug up by National Geographic.'
In 1817, a strange creature frol
icked about the harbor of Glou
cester, Mass. Plenty of people
saw it. Most agreed it was a
serpent with a head as large as a
horse.
In 1905, two British scientists,
E. G. B. Meade-Waldo and Michael
J. Nichol, were cruising in Bra
zilian watehs. A turtle-like head
and neck about eight feet long was

Thursday night at 7:30 in the As-

A&M-Baylor football game will be
shown at that time.
Guest speakers for the Nov. 2
meeting will be “Bully” Gilstrap
of the University of Texas Coach
ing Staff and “Dog-” Dawson, End
Coach for the Aggies.
Both are football talent scouts
for their respective schools.
Something Sank
A strange monster of similar
description was reported in 1917
by a British armed merchant ship.
The Ship was on blockade duty in
the North Sea, so it promptly fired
a six-inch shell at the creature.
It sank.
Several days later two German
submarines in that area reported
seeing what could have been the
same character. They said it was
blown high into the air when the
subs torpedoed a passing ship.
Most scientists think sea serpent
stories are bunk. None has ever
been discovered, dead or alive, to
give scientific proof to the stories
and legends.
On the other hand, the Encyclo
pedia Britannica—never renowned
for playing Halloween pranks—
has this to say:
“ ... In the depths of the sea,
however, there may still be gigan
tic creatures of which we have no
knowledge; and with this possibili
ty, remote though it may be, in the
background it is unwise to deny the
existence of the sea-serpent.”
Happy sea-serpentihg, Danes!
