PoultryTeamLeaves
For Chicago Meet
The senior Poultry Judging team
will leave for Chicago Nov. 27 for
the annual Intercollegiate Poultry
Judging contest.
“Members of the team have not
been announced,” said Cecil Ryan
of the poultry department,” since
they are still competing to get on
the team.”
Dr. E. D. Parnell will announce
the team members at a kick-off
banquet Nov. 24.
The contest will be in Chicago
Dec. 1-2, and awards will be pre
sented at an awards banquet Dec. 2.
THAT’S THE SPIRIT—Maroon and white band sophomores put up their sign Sunday
night on the southeast corner of drill field. The site of this picture is now covered with
several other unit signs for the University of Texas game. The bands put up a combined
sign for both band units.
More Work Planned
On Beautification
Students might as well get used
to running obstacle courses around
the Academic Building, because as
soon as the sidewalks in front are
completed, other work is to begin,
according to Howard Badgett, head
of A&M’s physical plants.

think of us, but we do care what
the people of the state of Texas
think about us.
We understand the lipstick, but
people knowing nothing of the

Your statement about giving
freshmen senior boots was out
spoken and uncalled for. If the
seniors want to give the freshmen
boot privileges, it is their right and
all the other classes should keep
their mouths shut about the mat
ter.

Plans ?h'e now being made for
tearing down Pfeuffer hall, and for
reworking the Hart hall parking
lot.
No definite date has been set for
tearing down Pfeuffer; however,
it should be in the near future,
Badgett said.
The Hart Hall parking lot will
probably be reworked during the
Christmas holidays.
“The future beautification of the
grounds around the Academic
building lies with the student^,”
Badgett said.
As soon as all the sidewalks have
been finished, a survey is to be
made as to how well they are used
by the students.
If the students use them, and
stay off the grass, an underground
sprinkling system similar to that
of the Memorial Student Center
may be installed, Badgett said.
There is an overall plan for beau
tifying the campus already drawn
up and blueprinted. The plan will
be put into effect a step at a time,
as funds become available.
The plans also include new flow
er beds, shrubbery and trees to be
set out around the campus.
Dean Kills
Deer With
One Bullet?
The A&M meats laboratory
has doubts about Dean of
Men W. L. Penberthy’s ac
count of his recent hunting
trip.
Penberthy brought a six-
point deer by the laboratory
"to be dressed and stored in his
locker there.
He said he killed the deer
with a single shot.
But when the animal was
dressed, two slugs were found
in the carcass.
A&M Students Win
$400 Total Prizes
Cash prizes amounting to $400
were awarded to five A&M student
winners in the third annual
Featherlite competition to design a
county courthouse. All are seniors
in architecture.
First prize went to James Cecil
Walden; Richard S. Atmar, se
cond; Willard C. Sholar, jr., third;
Pete Nick Manos, fourth; and
Charles E. Burgess, fifth.
The entries of all five winners
will be entered in state-wide com
petition against winners from Uni
versity of Houston, Rice institute,
University of Texas, and Texas
Technological college.
Those competing for team mem
bership are Eugene Rozacky from
Taylor, Charley Kammerdiener
from Gainesville, Alton Fuchs from
Cameron, and James Newman from
Garland. Three will be on the team
while one will serve as an alter
nate.
Ryan stressed the point that any
one taking agriculture could try
out for the poultry team.
The Poultry Science club ban
quet will be held in the Memorial
Student Center at 7 p.m. Nov. 24.
Judging coats trimmed in maroon
will be presented to the team mem
bers at that time by the Texas
Poultry Improvement association.
Judging will be done at the Uni
versity of Arkansas and at several
processing plants while on the way
to Chicago. A stop will be made
at the Purina research farm on the
way back.
Out of 11 A&M teams taken to
Chicago in years past, none have
placed loAver than fourth. In 1949
they placed first. In 1952 Bill
Huffman, senior poultry husbandry
major from Longview, was high-
point man.
The trip is sponsored each year
by the student activities office and
the Poultry Science club. The
Poultry Science club uses proceeds
from the Texas Chick, Poultry and
Egg show which they sponsor each
year to finance judging trips.
