compiled fx-om lists of participants
furnished by various departments
of the college.
Thirty-five units of the First
and Second Division competed for
the award, with Squadx-on 10 com
piling a total of 3125 points out of
a possible 3500.
Maroon Band Second

finished third with 2,555 points.

405 points, and the third place
units was Squadx-on 21 with 1,250

Industrial Summer
School Starts Soon
Tx-ade and Industrial Summer
School will begin June 8, and con
tinue through July 17, said H. D.
Beax-den, Texas Engineering Ex
tension Service.
Registration will begin June 8.
Eight courses will be offered. Four
of these are for people who have
had no previous trade and indus
trial teacher training course. The
other four are for second year stu
dents.
All persons enrolling for courses
and who do not have degx-ees will
register with A&M, Beax-den said.
Gx-aduate students will register
with either the University of Texas

Agriculturist Magazine
Future Plans Indefinite
There are no definite plans yet,
but everything is being done to
have the Agriculturist Magazine
published next year, said Roland
Bing, manager of Student Publica
tions.
This year’s Agriculturist ceased
publication after one issue because
of a lack of funds. A low subscrip
tion rate coupled with a dry year
throughout Texas was against the
continuation of the publication,
said Bing.
