rooms with kitchen privileges and
rooms for permanent or week-end
guests.
Boyer said his office will appre
ciate any information concerning
such facilities.

end, offices are being prepared for
George B. Wilcox, head of the
education department.
At the north end, offices are be
ing arranged for Dr. W. H. Dela-

These offices are being arrang

together on the same floor* as much
as possible, said Badgett.
Work will soon be underway on
the south half of the fourth floor
which is occupied by the architec
ture department. Partitions are
to be changed, a new floor and
ceiling will be installed, and a new
lighting, system will be provided.

riculture Engineering building, re
finishing the lecture room of the
Chemistry building will be included
in the work.
“The fire hydrants, lamp stands,
bicycle racks, and benches on the
campus have all been painted,”
said Badgett, “and we hope to keep
them the same color this year.”
Hoping to win the Miss America
title for her native state is

nie Wray Hopping, 19-year-old
Texas Tech coed from Lubbock.

Hurricane
Now Growing
Near Florida
Miami, Fla.—UP)—A grow
ing tropical hurricane, with
winds up to 90 miles per hour,
whirled up in the the Atlantic
today about 400 miles north
east of Puerto Rico.
The hurricane, second of the sea
son, offered no immediate threat
to any land area and was about
1,300-miles east-southeast of the
Florida Coast. .
It developed rapidly yesterday
and by nightfall had grown into
a full-fledged hurricane. It’s posi
tion was about 200 miles southeast
of where the first hurricane was
spawned just a week earlier.
The Miama Weather Bureau said
winds were about 90 miles per hour
and “further increase is expected.”
Meanwhile, the first hurricane
which battered the South Carolina
Coast Saturday night before lash
ing North Carolina and Virginia
with heavy rains, brought a flash
flood to Ellicott City, Md., on the
outskirts of Baltimore.
More than four inches of rain
tumed Tiber Creek into a river
that swept through stores and
smashed automobiles, causing an
estimated $500,000 damage to the
town. Heavy rains fell in Mary
land, Delaware and Pennsylvania
as the dying storm scurried north
ward.
A freak tornado, by-product of
the hurricane, unroofed houses and
caused minor damage in the Vir
ginia area bordering Washington.

Dr. Banks Returns
From Atomic Study
Dr. W. C. Banks of the veteri
nary medicine department has re
turned home Horn a week’s study
at the atomic energy plant, in Oak-
ridge, Tenn.
Dr. Banks studied the uses of
radio active isotopes, in the treat
ment of livestock diseases while at
the plant.
The college veterinary hospital
now has permission to use these
isotopes, said Dr. F. P. Jagee, of
the school of veterinary medicine,
and experimental work with the
isotopes will begin in the near fu
ture.
Work Continues On
New PE Building
Because of an unexpected supply
of steel, contractors will continue
to work on the new physical edu
cation building after the founda
tion has been completed, said T. R.
Spence, manager of physical plants
at A&M.
A shortage of steel was expect
ed to delay construction, but a sub
stantial delivery will be made
shortly.
Excellent progress has been
made on the foundation due to
fair weather, Spence added.
reiterated he could not support
Stevenson.
Pledged to Party
Daniel declared he was pledging
his allegiance to the state party
and said he hoped the foi-thcoming
state convention at Amarillo will
devise “some honorable means” to
place separate sets of electors for
the two parties on the November
General Election ballot.
“As much as I regret it our
national leaders have forced upon
us a clear-cut choice between the
principles of the Democratic Party
of Texas and the conflicting views
of the national Democratic Party.
Loyal Democrat
“As for me, I choose to stay
loyal to the Democratic Party of
Texas and to the best interests of
my state as I see them.
“I would not vote for my own
father or my own brother if they
told me that they approved the
theory which the supreme court
took away our lands and the tac
tics by which congress is being
prevented from returning them to
the people of Texas.”
Servicemen Can
Get Exemption V;
Servicemen and reseiwists who
were unable to purchase their poll
tax last year may possibly claim
exemption for the November elec
tions according to A. S. Ware,
County Judge of Brazos County.
State legislation provides that
draftees, active reservists, and
service men discharged within 18
months of an election, may vote
without the tax.
Judge Ware is of the opinion
that the law applies only to per
sons who served out of the state
when the poll tax receipts were on
sale last year.
“It is definite,” said Judge Ware,
“that the law applies only to draft
ees and not to career servicemen.”

manager of the physical plant,
announced.

pleted in time for the pool to be

FIRST PREMIUM
QUALITY CIGARETTE
TO OFFER BOTH REGULAR & KING-SIZE
BOTH regular and king-size
Chesterfields are premium quality
cigarettes and come in the smart
white pack.
BOTH contain only those proven in
gredients that make Chesterfields
the best possible smoke: the
world's best tobaccos, pure, more
costly moistening agents (to keep
them tasty and fresh), the best
cigarette paper that money can
buy —nothing else.
BOTH are much milder with an ex
traordinarily good taste and, from
the report of a well-known research
organization — no - unpleasant
after-taste.
BOTH are exactly the same in all re-
spects. There is absolutely no difference
except that king-sire Chesterfield is
larger —contains considerably more of
the same tobaccos — enough more to
give you a 21% longer smoke, yet costs
little more. ^
