Late Arrival
Changes Present
In Commentator
By BOB HENDRY
Battalion News Editor
The Commentator, at one time
holding the reputation of being the
sexiest student publication on the
campus, will make its 1953 debut
today.
But it has changed.
The magazine’s biggest change
is the invasion of scientific busi-
v ness stories into its manuscript.
Enstranglcd between The Com
mentator’s 26 pages are “Mechan
izing Red Tape,” a scientific arti-
' ele dealing with business machines,
and “Careers In Physics” which
informs the reader of the physics
field.
The sexiest articles in the new
style Commentator are its display
ads. The magazine is making an
effort, which possibly one of the
first of its kind, to make adver
tisements as interesting as the
rest of the articles.
Fiction Stories Back
Fiction stories which have al
ways dominated the magazine in
the past, arc back again this year.
Helping Ams Noak, The Com
mentator editor improve the loss
of quantity in this department
with quality are James Price, Wil
liam Young, Richard Ewing.
Bert Weller, John Samuels, Ter
rell Hamilton, James Tillotson,
and Louis Hampton. Directing the
two artists, Connie Eckard and
Louis Hampton, is Art Editor Bob
Bynes. Other staff members are
Bob Travis, business manager;
Henry Cole, photographer; and
Bob Godfrey, photo engraver.
The Commentator should be dis-
* tributed throughout the campus
today, and placed in the mails by
tomorrow night.
Surpassing The Commentator in
pages and number of editions, The
Engineer is entering the last
stages of its second edition pub
lication.
The Engineer is following the
same paths as its predecessors ex
cept that this year it is making
a profit, said James E. Richardson,
editor.
The Engineer is a scientific
magazine, and publishes stories of
intei'est to people in engineering
fields. The first edition of the
magazine, containing 52 pages,
could mean that this year’s Engi
neers will be the largest ever pub
lished.
Under Richardson’s direction
are E. L. Walker Jr., assistant
editor, C. S. LeBlanc, business
manager; Bryan W. Grosjean and
Don Aviles, technical editors; Bob
Johnson and R. D. Mathis, joke
editors; Gene Sparks, Wallace G.
Schlather and George Sandoval,
features.
Roland Balhman, layout design;
Bill Scott, John Roberts and Jim
Moffitt, staff typists; Thclton
McCorcle and Marvin Aly, staff
artists; and Henry Cole, photo
grapher.

Range Grasses Die With Overgrazing
Overgrazing of Texas ranges
has intensified the 1950-52 drouth,
warned Vernon Young, head of
the range and forestry depart
ment, at the Texas Academy of
Science Meeting last week in Fort
Worth.
“Our grasses will live through
the drouth if the land is not over
used,” he said.
To bring the grasses back, it
will mean reseeding in many cases
and taking some land out of pro
duction for five hr six years, he
said.

Napier Speaks To Ross Volunteers
(Continued from Page 1)
The official Ross Volunteer uni
form is white duck with gold or
naments.
Col. Napier graduated from
West Point in 1929 with a com
mission in the Quartermaster
Corps. He received his wings about
a year later and was transferred
to the Air Corps.
During the war, he commanded
a B-24 base in England.
Col. Napier came to A&M in
August, 1950, when he replaced
Col. J. H. Kelly, after serving as
vice-commander of the Twelfth Air
Force at Brooke AFB in San An
tonio.
He was Professor of Air Science
and Tactics of the college until
his departure in May, 1952.
