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.

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.

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.
In a special information bulle

formation officer Don Hegi warn

TRUTH is the most deadly

And today truth is blasting
Soviet propaganda behind the
Iron Curtain . . . revealing
Kremlin lies . . . exposing

Hard-hitting, aggressive
Radio Free Europe is striking
with deadly impact. . . sowing
fear and confusion among the
Communist rulers and their
collaborators.
But an even better job must
be done! Two additional trans

bring more truth broadcasts
to the millions in the captive
countries.
Your dollars will help win
the cold war . . . prevent a
global hot war!
Enroll now in the Crusade

the dean of the college.

Foster Behind Schedule
The demolishing of Foster Hall
is running behind the schedule is
sued by the Dincan Wrecking Com
pany of Houston. 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.

No Spirit
Editor, The Battalion:
It seems to me that the Aggies
in the Vet dorms aren’t doing their
share in backing the team; this
goes for the corps seniors too.
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!
