The two will be married on May 19 in what Charlene desci'ibes as a “very quiet wedding.” Before they leave on their wedding trip, they’ll stop by at the Senior Ring Dance long enough for the bride to turn that Aggie Ring and give her new husband the “official” kiss for having completed his school years in such a fine manner. Leon McClellan, second-year journalism major from Mexi co City, is bidding adieu to things scholarly tomorrow be fore joining up with the United States Marines.

News has come (we’ve been ex pecting it for a long time) that we do not sufficiently cover all phases of activities for women. We do one or ganization thoroughly and leave another out; we speak of one engagement and do not mention another. True! How true! So again this columnist’s appeal is to you— the reader. We can’t tell other people about things we haven’t heard about. We’re interested—vitally interested in your parties, your visitoi-s, your engagements and your weddings. We want to know about your new babies, about the outstanding events that happen to you—so that we can tell these things to your friends. A note to the Batt office will do it—or the telephone is a handy instrument. Help us out and we’ll help you. (And, there’s no charge for news items we print. We’ve had some inquiry on this.)

Texas And Cattle Is Topic Of Address by Tad Moses “The history of Texas and the cattle business are as inseparable as daylight and dai'k.’* With these words, Tad Moses, editor of the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station publication, opened his address to members of the Campus Study club on glimp sing Texas history through the eyes of a cattleman. Cattle Built Texas The first cattle, Moses said, came to Texas witlx settlers from Mexico in 1690. The land between the Nueces and Rio Grande rivers was the fii’st cattle country, and from that time to this no better use has been found for Texas’ land to leave it to grazing. Between 1866 and the eaxdy 1890’s 10,000,000 cattle wei’e driven north. At $20 per head these cat tle gave Texans in post-Civil War days $200,000,000 which formed the base of all Texas industry, Moses said. He added that cattle could travel 1200 to 1500 miles in three months and still gain weight. Mrs. Hughes Named The guest speaker was intro duced by Mrs. T. Y. Hicks.
