Rodent Eradication Begins
With Free Poison Hand-Out
Rat day began this morning at 8
a. m. with a meeting in Room 11 of
the Civil Engineering Building.
The meeting was held to instruct
individuals who had been designa
ted by the departments and busi
ness establishments of the College
area as being responsible for ro
dent eradication within their areas.
The rat eradication campaign is
a follow-up to the program initiat
ed May 11, 1950 by the sanitary
board. The campaign was initiat
ed because certain parts of the
campus were infested with rats
which were increasing and fast be
coming a menace to the community
Colonel Boatner said.
“Remedial steps, in order to be
effective, must be continuous, sys
tematic, and periodic, and will re
quire the effort and cooperation
of all departments and business
establishments in the City of Col
lege Station,” Col. Boatner said.
Fall-Spring Drives
According to Col. Boatner, the
best times for the eradication of
the rodents are in the fall when
they leave the field and move into
the houses for the winter and in
the spring when they migrate from

Mixture 42
Poison used in the campaign will
be a mixture of Compound 42 and
pecan crumbs. Compound 42 was
developed by.the College and causes
a slow coagulation of the rodents
blood which, after seven or eight
feedings, stops the flow of blood
through the system and thereby
causes the death of the rodent.
100 pounds of rat poison will be
available at the City Hall free of
charge for people to use in their
homes according to Raymond Rog
ers, College Station city manager.
Application of the poison will bo
supervised by L. E. Winder, sani
tary inspector of the college.
Colonel Boatner urges the cam
paign be given careful and serious
attention by all responsible parties
and agencies in the community as
the success of the campaign will
be negligible if the rats are exter
minated in one area and are allow
ed to. inhabit other areas and thus
return later to their old haunts.

For many an Aggie, his eight
hours of tests in the Guidance and
Testing Clinic may be the most
important eight hours of his life.
The clinic, located in the old
Campus Corner Building just across
the street from Music Hall, has
as its purpose the enlightment
of the student as to his real in
terests, aptitudes, and abilities.
Interpretation of tests, and
counseling is done by A. E. Denton,
Jr., director of the clinic. The ac
tual tests are administered by Mrs.
Jo. M. McKenzie, Mrs. Helen Ann
Hardy, and Mrs. Felice Klien, psy-
chometrists.
Originally established in 1941,
the Clinic was taken over by the
Veterans Administration in 1945.
The program of testing and coun
seling is now open, at no cost,
to any student, veteran or non-

veteran, who applies for it.
There are eleven different types
of tests . given, among them tests
of manual dexterity, mechanical
ability, reading and vocabulary,
clerical aptitude, and intelligence.
Each classification has several sub-
classifications based on the appar
ent ability of the applicant.
Should a student make an abnor
mally high grade on one test, he
may be given a more difficult one
to better indicate his real ability
in that field. The entire series of
tests requires eight hours |for
completion, but they need not all
be taken the same day.
There is no loss in accuracy if
the tests are spread out over sev
eral days.
Almost every conceivable pre
caution is taken in the tests to
insure accuracy. In the Person
ality tests, there are carefully
hidden check questions to check
on how a student would really
react in a situation in which he
may not himself be certain of
how he would react. There are
comparable questions in the In
terest, and Clerical Aptitude tests.
Surprisingly, Denton says, few
students apply for the testing ser
vice until in trouble scholastically.
Frequently a dean will advise one
of his students to take advantage of
the tests, although it is not com
pulsory to do so and, whether he
takes it or not, it will not affect
the student’s scholastic record.
Not so surprising, in a very
high percentage of cases the tests
indicate that the student is not in
the field in which he has the great
est aptitude.
Fortunately, not only do the
tests show that a student has
chosen the wrong field. After
a personal consultation with the
Clinic’s, psychiatrists and a care
ful study by Denton of his test
results, an applicant can almost
invariably be directed into a
much more likely field.
Frequently, the indicated field
is one which he has previously
considered and discarded as a pro
fession,
“These tests are merely indica
tions,” Denton says, “and they are
not infallible. Even though a stu
dent shows a decided lack of
aptitude in his chosen field, if he
is really eager to succeed, he
stands an excellent chance of do
ing it by a great deal of study
and hard work.”
