S. Army Re serve units in this area were re- j^^ganized effective March 1st, ac- ^Jjtding to Captain Marion B. r indlay, local Area Unit Instructor. The re-organization is part of a nation-wide move by the Depart ment of the Army to convert all Reserve Airborne and Armored divisions into Infantry divisions. Capt. Findlay added that the £ change did not reflect a policy shift, but was made due to the fact that more training equip ment is available for Infantry di- ; visional units than for the other categories. Local units of the 22d Armored Division were assigned to the new ly activated 75th Infantry Divi sion which will include all of east ern Texas and Louisiana. Direct ing the activities locally ai’e Lt. Col. Clifford M. Simmang, Bryan, who will be the Executive Officer of the Division Artillery. Major Robert N. Craig, Bryan, will be Operations officer. Other Local Units Other local units will include the 897th F. A. Bn., commanded by Major Henry D. Mayfield, Jr., Bryan, with batteries in College Station, Caldwell, and Huntsville. The 290th Infantry Regiment, com- ' manded by Lt. Col. Charley R. Kyle, Madisonville, will be located in Huntsville, with subordinate companies there and ift Conroe. " Key officers of the Regimental Headquarters include Captains C. R. Barth and F. E. McFarland, and Lts. W. A. Munroe, R. H. Purs- well, and A. K. Sparks, all of Col lege Station and Bryan. This Regi ment will command other units lo cated in the Tyler, Texas area and northern Louisiana. All of these units conduct two evening drills each month in ad- ditiion to week-end training and a fifteen-day summer camp. Cap tain Findlay added that the new units will create openings for local residents not now participating in the Reserve program. Both vete rans and non-veterans are eligible to enlist in the new units. Ex-servicemen may enlist in the same or next higher grade than the one in which discharged.

Main Bryan ed-. The training period would give them time to decide whether they really want to go to college or not.” Favors Bill Tom Findley, freshman archi tect major from Fort Woi'th, is in favor of the bill. Findley said, “I agree that the six month training would be alright, but the seven and one-half years in the reserves doesn’t sound so good. During the training the boys would be orien tated in military life and would also be better prepared to meet an emergency.” He added, “For that reason I think the bill should have been passed. Lt. Col. R. L. Melcher, Walton Hall counselor, gave his opinion on the defeat of the bill. “I hope that we don’t wake up too late to the fact that we have to train the young men of our country.” What’s Cooking ANDERSON COUNTY CLUB: Thursday, 7:30 p.m., Room 410 Acad.

Aggie Debate Printed in ’51 Debate Annual A debate which took place last year between Baylor and A&M was one of six debates from the entire country chos en for inclusion in the “Uni versity Debaters’ Annual” for 1950-51. Participating for A&M were Doug Hearne, who graduated last ’ year and James Farmer, a graduating senior this year. Subject of the debate, which was held on the Baylor University campus, was “Outlawing the Com munist Party.” The debate was transcribed from records made at the time for submission to the editorial board responsible for the publication of the annual. Debate annuals are received by all of the major college libraries in the United States and are used as text reference materials in de bate classes in many of the speech departments of the. schools. Other schools having debates in cluded in the annual were Michi gan, Northwestern, Alabama, Ne braska, Temple, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Marquette, Michigan State, and Union College. The book is printed by the H. W. Wilson Company of New York.

The Exchange Store “Serving Texas Aggies” New Meter Reader to Save $16,000 Yearly for Cities A revolutionary meter reading device, estimated to save over $16,000 per year for one city, was demonstrated to key men in the School of Engineering this week. The new system, invented by Mack Hood of Corpus Christi, will eliminate all chance of error in the recording of meter figures. The inventor was accompanied here by Henry Nau, water depart ment engineer for Corpus Christi. That city, now installing the meter, estimates a yearly saving of $16,200 merely on the replace ment of broken meter dials. Other savings—in the working time of the meter readers and in elimina tion of complaints. Foolproof Method Hood’s invention makes use of the old style meter. The dial in- Dr. Parsons To Lecture Here Monday Dr. Kenneth H. Parsons, noted author and agriculturist, will make two speeches on the campus March 10. He will address the students of the School of Agriculture and members of the Basic Division at 11 a. m. in Guion Hall. Subjects of the Monday morn ing address will be “Land and Communism.” All agriculture stu dents and students in the Basic Division will be excused from class for Dr. Parsons’ address, according to Dean C. N. Shepardson of the School of Agriculture. On Monday night at 8 p. m., Dr. Parsons will speak to the members of the graduate school faculty in the Biological Science Building. His subject will be “The Role of the Scientist in World Con flict.” In addition to his two speeches, Dr. Parsons will lead the discus sion of the agricultural economics seminar. The seminar will hear Dr. Parsons on March 8, according to Chairman Dr. Joe R. Motheral of the Agricultural Economics and Sociology Departmment. dicators are removed from their shafts and small magnets are put in their place. The glass dial is replaced by q metal plate and the resulting case is filled with oil and made air tight. The meter reader, instead of carrying the familiar dirty entry book, will be equipped with a sealed instrument similar to the adding machine in principle. Mag nets in this device, making mag netic contact with those in the meter, register a fool-proof read- GI Bill Grads May Ask for More Aid Bennie Zinn, veterans advisor, warned graduating students at tending college under the G I Bill they must apply before their grad- uation if they plan to receive fur ther training under the Bill. Applications for further train ing under the GI Bill must be in the Waco Veterans Administration office prior to the date of grad uation or the Veteran will lose all claim to further educational bene fits, he said. Applications may be obtained from the college veterans advisors office, but the veteran should send them directly to the Veterans Ad ministration Office in Waco, Zinn advised. ing on a roll of paper within the instrument. These same figures are transferred to the customer’s statement. Hood’s five patents on the in vention cover any readable meter through which liquid, gas, electric current, or pressure will pass. Profits for Endowment The inventor has offered all profits from the sale of his new method to research and philantro- phic organizations. Witnessing the demonstration were Dr. H. W. Barlow, dean of engineering; A. A. Jakkula, head of A&M Research Foundation; S. R. Wright, head of department of civil engineering; H. J. Miles, hy draulics professor; C. A. Sanders, enginei’ing extension service; and J. H. Sorrels, professor of sanitary engineering. WELCOME To the NEW . . . Z A R A P E RESTAURANT Mexican Dishes Our Specialty We also serve . . .
