Air Force ROTC graduates in
1955 must possess, or be willing
to take, the skill training usable in
a specific Air Force job, Deichel-
mann said.
The Air Force detachment here
will begin administering aptitude
tests to Air Force sophomores
next week to determine their fu
ture value to the service, Way
said.
Part of the tests, which last a
total of seven hours, may have to
be given Saturday afternoon be
cause there is not enough time
during regular class and drill
periods, said the PAS&T.
Competition for contracts in
Categories III and IV is expected
to be very keen, Way said, only
men with high scholastic ratings
and a high potential will be con
sidered from these groups, he said.
A&M May Lose
Ag Substation
To Air Force
A&M’s Agriculture Experi
ment Sub-station located on
the former Bluebonnet Ordin
ance Plant area at McGregor
may be taken over by the Air
Force for production of a new type
low cost jet assist takeoff unit.
The Air Force has submitted a
proposal to the House armed ser
vices sub-committee for acquir
ing most of A&M’s 17,000 arce
tract of the land. The Air Force
must get the sub-committee’s ap
proval before it can open negotia
tions with the college and several
industrial plants which also use
parts of the land.
P. W. Kellegher, councel for the
committee, testified that if the
Air Foi’ce used the gi’eater part of
the tract, the remaining 4,000 acres
would be relatively useless to
A&M.
Reo. Poage (D-Tex) told the
subcommittee Air Force “indecis
ion” on the land is hurting Mc
Gregor. He said the jAir Force
should take all rights fo the land
and then sell what it does not
need.
During World War 11, the land
was used by; the Ordnance as a
bomb making plant. It was de
clared surplus property after the
war and sold to A&M for $2,000,-
000. Payment was to be made by
public service over the years.
The deed provides the land can
be retaken for use by the armed
forces in time of a national emerg
ency, but the title would still be
long to A&M.
Further testimony will be taken
Monday from an official of A&M.

Bowed by the weight of cen
turies, he leans
Upon his hoe and gazes on the
ground,
The emptiness of ages in his
face,
And on his back the burden of
the world.
Who made him dead to rapture
and despair?
A thing that grieves not and
that never hopes,
Stolid and stunned, a brother to
the ox ?
Who loosens and lets down this
brutal jaw ?
Whose was the hand that slanted
back this brow?
Whose breath blew out the light
within this brain?
It was W. S. (Bullshooter) An
derson, professor of poultry hus
bandry, who inspired this poem
while resting one day after clean
ing out his classroom.
And such diligent and persistent
devotion to duty brought to “Bull-
shooter” Onderson nationwide ac
claim. At the time he was a citi
zen of Jamaica.
Now living in the United States,
babbling his ideas and techniques
on poultry farming, Anderson has
been honored for his knowledge in
the agricultural field. His ad
ministrative knowledge was gain
ed in balancing the grain budget
of his layers.
One of his colleagues pr oudly re
marked, “Bullshooter” is indeed
the King of chicken profs in Amer
ica.”
Such a qualification will allow
Anderson to take A&M’s academic
progress in stride. Although his
eyes are weak, “Bullshooter” is re
markably sensitive about the hole
in his head.
“One should never stare,” a new
pupil gasped in his dying breaths
after attending Anderson’s class
for the first time.
Friendly to dogs, Anderson said
he is looking forward to seeing
Reville II, A&M’s famous mascot.
“My first move in bettering
A&M’s educational standards would
be to increase its curricula and add
a dog husbandry department. With
all the dogs on the campus,” And
erson said, “their enrollment would
increase the college’s enrollment
and add to the prestige of Aggies
everywhere.”
His favorite expression is, “Dog
my cats.” He would not interpret
the remark. His favorite food is
loganberry pie.

Ten Are Campused
For Missing Muster
Ten juniors from A Company
Signal Corps were campused last
night until Christmas for miss

cadets who were found guilty have
until 9 a. m. Friday to appeal their
case to the commandant.
The men were charged with
violation of Article 35 of the

“Failing to observe military cus
toms and courtesy.” The punish
ment varies from six demerits to
Senior Court.
Pleaded Guilty
All of the men pleaded guilty.
Those judged and found guilty

tonio; Dave L. Swiedom of Abi
lene.
The court told the men that they
should not feel that their punish
ment was harsh because others
may have missed Muster and were
not reported. It was explained that
murderers walk the streets free be
cause they are never found.
Four of the seven men tried
were transfer students. Some of
the juniors claimed that they did
not know about the Muster except
what they had been told on the
campusology quizzes. The men
said they knew when it was held
and why and thought the Muster
was over at the end of the re
view. A corps review, the first of
its kind, preceded this years’s Mus
ter program.
No Excuse Told
Another junior pleaded guilty
and with no excuse and that he
was not trying to get out of it.
Lee J. Phillips Jr. of San An
tonio, cadet captain and comman
der of A Signal, testified that his
unit was told he had the names of
the persons who had missed the
Muster and they should repoit to
him. He said they did. Phillips also
told the court that the men had
never done anything wrong befoi’e.
One of the accused told the court
he thought the Muster was only
for former students. The court
asked the accused if they had read
about the Muster in The Battalion
which the court presented as
evidence of publicity of the Muster.
The men said they had.
The accused also told the court
that they had seen other cadets in
the dormitory area where they re
turned after the review.
The court took about 10 minutes
to decide the verdict and sentence.

About 1600
Expected
First Term
Sixteen hundred students
are expected for the first
term of the summer session,
said H. L. Heaton, registrar.
Tliis includes about 337 in
the Graduate School and 182
for the Junction Adjunct.
The second term will num
ber about 1400, Heaton said.
There were 1673 students
registered in the first sum
mer term of last year and
1448 in the second term, Heaton
said.
“There will be no preregistration
for summer school this year,” the
registrar said. “Lack of interest
in the preregistration by the stu
dents has made it necessary for us
to do away with it. I think we
can handle the students all right in
the half-day registrations we have
planned.”
C. H. Ransdall, assistant to the
dean of the Basic Division, said
that applications for the freshman
courses at the Adjunct are running
ahead of last year’s. He expects
100 freshmen in each term with 37
engineering students, and 45 ge
ologists in the first term. Only 12
geologists are expected the second
term, and about 35 CEs, he said.
The summer session budget ap
proved by the Board of Directors
is $215,000 for general salaries,
including those paid at the Ad
junct.
One hundred and seventy of
A&M’s 433 faculty members will
teach during the summer terms.
Nineteen of the 170 faculty
members will be teaching English,
14 chemistry, 18 business administ
ration, 16 mathematics, 12 me
chanical engineering and the rest
are included in agronomy, biology,
history, and other courses.
Registration for the first sum
mer term is June 8 with June 11
the last day to enroll for classes.
Second term registration begins
July 20 with July 23 the last day
to register.
First semester fees on the cam
pus total $42.90, not including
board.
Housing reservations may be
made May 18 with students living
in the civilian dormitories having
the privilege of keeping their
rooms for the summer term. On
May 21 housing reservations will
be thrown open on a first-come-
first-serve basis, according to the
Housing Office.
Senior’s Class Committee
Hear About Future in FSA
Members of the 1953 Class Com
mittee met with Former Student’s
Association (FSA) officials at a
dinner Wednesday night to discuss
the class’ future in the FSA.
President of the Former Stu
dents A. F. Mitchell welcomed the
Class of ’53 into the FSA and
pointed out the significance of the
Aggie ring as class members will
disperse all over the world.
He emphasized the association
was not dues paying organization.
“We ask you to contribute any
amount, once a year,” said Mit
chell, “to the Development Fund.
What better way is there for you
to keep in touch with the college
than through contributions to the
Development Fund,” the president
concluded.
Duties Outlined
Class of ’53 agent, Gene (Spark
le) Sparks briefly outlined the du
ties of the Class Committee mem
bers. Under the new plan, just
started with this class, one man . is
elected to repiesent approximately
20 graduates. He writes them reg
ularly and reports current events
concerning these men to Sparks,
who in turn passes the news on to
the FSA office for publication in
The Texas Aggie, newspaper of the
FSA.
Sparks and assistant class agent
B. Q. (Buck) Evens passed out
questionnaires and letters to com
mittee members to give to the men
they represent. The material con
cerns membership in the FSA.
E. E. McQuillen, director of the
Development Fund, explained how
the fund was operated and what
it hod been used for in the past.
Included in past fund objectives
have been Opportunity Award
Scholarships, printing of The A&M
Story, a directory of Former Stu
dents, and plans toward building
an all-faith chapel on the campus.
The Development Fund financed
a quarter-million dollars of the
MSC construction and got the ball
roiling for the college to add sub
stantially more in making the plan
a reality, said McQuillen.
Johnny Longley, class ’43 agent,
spoke to the group on rivalries be
tween classes concerning donations
to the Development Fund.
J. B. (Dick) Hervey, executive
secretary of the f’SA presided at
the meeting.
