and counseling on the campus dur
ing the summer.
Out of 21 civilian students, 11
were in favor of the present
method. Seven favored the testing
throughout the state. Three wanted
testing and counseling clinics in the
campus.
Concerning the week’s activities,
one student said, “Quit letting all
the school officials make so many
talks. They talk a lot and yet say
nothing.” Another replied, “Upper
classmen should lay off.”
Civilian students felt there
should be some program for them
as well as students entering the
corps. One said, “We wasted a lot
of time doing nothing while the
corps was having meetings.” An
other replied,” Not any place to
eat. Sbisa was not open to us.”
“No definite changes have been
made in new student week activi
ties as yet, but the problem is be
ing studied by the Basic Division
Council and needed changes will
be made next year,” said John
Bertrand, dean of the basic divis
ion.
Librarian Speaks
At AAUW Meeting
“Texas ranks fourth from the
bottom in its library facilities,” C.
Lamar Wallis, Rosenberg librarian
from Galveston told the American
Association of University Women
at a meeting last night at the Bry
an Women’s club.
Concerning the Texas’ problem
Wallis said that the Texas Library
association is in the process of
publishing a bulletin showing the
standing of Texas libraries county
by county.
The Rosenberg librarian told the
AAUW about the strong support
the Friends of the Library organi
zation gives to the Galveston li
brary.
He related how the group was
responsible for the city’s passing
a library tax in 1946, frofn which
source comes 55 per cent of the
library’s income.
A white elephant book sale, auc
tioneered by Mrs. Emmett Wallace
and Mrs. A. W. Mellow, netted $38
to be used in some way to aid the
local libraries.
The board of directors, headed by
Mrs. W. H. Delaplane, AAUW
president, were hostesses for re
freshments.
Assisting Mrs. Delaplane were
Mesdames Horace Blank, J. H.
Quisenberry, S. H. Hopkins, L. A.
Knowles, R. V. Andrews, M. M.
Rotsch, W. L. Russell, Spencer Bu
chanan, R. R. Schrode, W. J. Dob
son, and Eugene Rush.

Several wildlife management
students will take a field trip this
summer to Mexico to observe and
collect wild animals, birds and re
ptiles.
The group, under the supervi
sion of K. L. Dixon, will visit the
state of Guerrero near Acapulco
for most of the trip, which will last
for approximately five and a half
weeks.
One of their main objectives will
be to gather material for a faunal
report being made for the Mexican
governtnent. The report is sched
uled for completion within two
years.
A search will also be made for a
specie of lizards having no hind
legs. The lizard is reported to be in
the Querrero area.
Making the trip will be sopho
more and junior students taking
the field studies course of wildlife
management and a few botany stu
dents from the biology department.
A new government regulation
requires that 12 students must re
gister for the trip before it can be
made. Eleven men went last year.
On the trip last year, which last
ed from June ! to July 15, the stu
dents collected 2,000 specimens of
animals and 300 birds.
A short trip will probably be
made during the first weekend of
spring registration. On this trip
the group will go to Port Aransas
to view the whooping crane and
other water fowl. However, they
may go to Louisiana, Sabine, or
the Palestine game refuge.
English Group

The English department is plan
ning a new magazine.
Several members of the English
department met today and dis
cussed plans for a publication to
be written by students in the de
partment.
Animal Pavilion
Now Has New Use
The old animal husbandry pavil-
lion is now being used for poultry
research projects and storage, said
Dr. J. R. Couch of the poultry hus
bandly department.
Several departments on the cam
pus are utilizing the storage space
in the old pavillion. Equipment be
ing stored in the pavillion ranges
from collapsible chairs to the old
fire engine which used to be on
display at the college fire station.
Poultry research work is also
being conducted in the building.
Approximately 700 laying hens are
being used in research of different
poultry nutrients on egg produc
tion and hatch ability, Couch said.
Other poultry research is being
conducted on the effects of certain
feeds on chickens. The research
program is supported by grants-
in-aid from industrial companies.
Only the male cicadas make the
loud buzzing noises heard on many
spring days, the females having
no sound equipment.

automobile accident while going to
the A&M-Georgia football game,
now has a television set in his
room at Hillcrest hospital, Waco.
Othel Neely, Lewis Taylor and
Johnnie Watkins, A&M former
students from Waco, arranged for
a television set to be placed in
Arnold’s room. The set was donat
ed by James Cook of Waco.
The A&M Mothers’ club of Waco

In March, 1953, the Department of Defense disclosed
the existence of the Chance Vought guided missile,
the Regulus, designed under the sponsorship of the
Navy Bureau of Aeronautics for launching from sub
marines, surface ships and shore bases. In May, 1953,
the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics announced that
Chance Vought had won a design competition for a
new Navy Day Fighter, it being selected as the design
best suited for Navy requirements from designs sub
mitted by eight aircraft manufacturers. This engi
neering work was added to the current Chance
Vought projects, the F7U-3 Cutlass and the attack
airplane, the A2U-1. Moreover, other research and
development programs which will shape the aircraft
designs of the future are being carried out at the
present time.
These engineering projects offer excellent long range
employment opportunities in many fields of engineer
ing and science as Chance Vought enters its thirty-
seventh year designing and building military aircraft.
Newly graduated engineers and scientists from the
Bachelor to the Doctor’s level will find interesting
futures awaiting them in the design and production
of these aircraft.
