Thursday, October 18, 1951 THE BATTALION Page 3 Ag Prof Publishes Book on Population Dr. R. L. Skrabanek, assistant professor in the Depai-tment of Agricultural Economics and Soc iology, has had two articles pub lished recently dealing with pop ulation trends in Texas. The articles have appeared in the September issue of the Pro gressive Farmer and The Texas Parade. He also prepared another article on the same subject at the request of the South Texas Re gional Chamber of Commerce for the South Texas magazine which is to appear in their Silver Anni versary issue in November. According to Skrabanek’s articles, the population trend in Texas which is attracting the most attention, is the all-time record numerical gain in number of peo ple between successive censuses. Only about 23,000 of the million and a quarter numerical increase during the last 10 years was ac counted for by migration exchange between Texas and other states. The major portion of the gain was achieved by an excess of births over deaths. Another important feature to Texas population trends is the change from a rural to an urban state. On this point, however, Skrabanek hastens to point out that the public should not be fooled by the big percentage de crease quoted by the Census Bu reau on the part of the rural pop ulation. Although rural areas in Texas did experience a loss in numbers of people, a sizeable part of the loss in numbers indicated by the Census Bureau is not real. It is MSC Coffee Shop Reschedules Hours The MSC Coffee Shop will again be open mornings starting Friday, said MSC Foods Director Miss Teresa Tennel, today. Weekdays the Coffee Chop will open at 7 a. m. and on. Saturdays it will open at 7 a. m. but will dose at 11 a. m. due to off cam pus football games and Corps trips. On Sundays the shop will open at 8 a. m. and close at 11 a. m. Miss Tennel said. FRIDAY PREV. 11 p.M. a result of a change in definitions used by the Census Bureau between 1940 and 1950. For one thing, the definition of a farm used by the Census Bu reau in 1950 was different from the definition of a farm used in 1940. Although it is not yet known just how much effect this change will have from a numei-ical stand point, it is expected that some of the farms classified as such in 1940 Will no longer qualify as farms un der the new definition. This is true even though the size of operations remained unchanged. Line of Demarkation The other definition affecting the rural population count is a change in the dividing line between what constitutes rural and urban resi dences. Under the new definition of what constitutes rural residence in 1950, Texas had 2,860,808 people living in rural areas. If the Census Bureau had used the same definition as it did in 1940, however, Texas would have had 3,178,339 people living in rural areas. Thus a loss of some 217,500 people in rural areas between 1940 and 1950 was not a real lost but was the direct result of a change in definitions. Jesse W. Jones, 77 (right), the Texas financier who headed the reconstruction Finance Corpora- tiion during the Great Depression and the busy World War II years, discusses with Edward Angly, their book, “Fifty Billion Dollars.” This book is “Uncle Jesse’s” story of his 13 years with the RFC. It tells of great loans and small, of great men and small of business, banking, in dustry, government and diplomacy during Jones’ years in Washington. Angly collaborated with Jones on the book and worked three years whip ping it into shape with Uncle Jess. The result is 631-pages of fascinating financial and personal history. s To Review (Continued from Page 1) view the parade from the reviewing stand also. Uniform for the corps trip will be khahi uniforms without white gloves. Corps commander Carlson said this morning that strict uniform regulations will be enforced in Fort Worth. He said only khaki and summer serge uniforms may be worn to the football although winter uniforms with blouses are optional at other times. “I am confident the corps will be in top shape for the parade and will make a favorable impression on the thousands of spectators who will jam the streets of Fort Worth to see the Aggies march by,” Carlson said.

The project was to have, been finished by the time school began, but delays made that date impossible. The Dincan Company paid the college $3,500 for the three story structure. “Nothing -as yet has been plan ned for the former site of the old building, however I believe some sort of monument of plaque, simi lar to the Gathright monument will be erected,” said Locke. “The next old building on the campus to .be demolished is Ross Hall but as yet no bids have been let and it is impossible to know now when the dismantling will be gin,” concluded Locke.

I have been at this institution quite awhile now, and now that we have a good team, the vet dorms and corps seniors are sadly lacking that good ole spirit that is famous here at Aggieland (which is being carried on mainly by the freshmen and sophomores). I hope this will stir up more spirit here at A&M where it is lacking. Come on you vets and seniors—lets get going!
