The fund committee collected $12,449.09, not $12,970 as reported in the Battalion. The amended figure is $520.91 less than the drive goal for the year, not $100 short as the story said. The chest committee gave each organization asking money from the fund, 95 per cent of its request, said Fred J. Benson, chairman of the drive this year. A full allotment of money was made to the charity fund, to cover any emergencies that might arise during the year. TREE IS AT HOME MADISON, Wis. <A>) — Forrest Tree, a Madison city employe, has good reason to feel at home. He lives on Orchard Street. Goldenrod Eggs are easy to pre pare and small fry love this dish. Cook several eggs until they are hard, then slice the whites in thin slivers and add them to a cup of medium white sauce. Heat and pour over crisp toast; now rub the hard-cooked yolks through a sieve and let them garnish the dish. This amount will be enough for two or three servings. DALE E. DELONG Battalion. Staff Write£ A&M’s School of Veterinary Medicine has the only X-ray ma chine in the Southwest capable of examining animals as large as cat tle and horses. The machine is under the super vision of Dr. W. C. Banks. It is used to take X-ray photographs and for intermediate therapy in the diagnosis and cure of diseases. Designed and developed by vet erinary medicine faculty members, the machine is located in the large animal surgery room of the new veterinary Hospital. The X-ray unit is mounted on a crane so it can be moved easily. The operator of the crane can sw ing the machine to any position within its 180 degree operating radius. The arm of the crane can also be raised or lowered as needed by the operator. The unit can be mov ed to any position on the arm of the crane. Basically, the X-ray table is for operations. The X-ray machine was added to assist in the diagno sis and treatment of surgical cases. To get an animal onto the ope rating table, the table top is shift ed until it is ip a vertical position. The animal (s' strapped onto the table top and it is moved back to the horizontal. The table top is raised and lowered by ejpctric motors. A stand chute has bqen constructed so X- rays can be made of animals while they are standing. Students and instructors wear lead-lined gloves and aprons to protest themselves from radiation given off when the X-ray machine is operating. Additional protection is offered by a Geiger counter which regis ters the amount of radiation and indicates to those present when they have been exposed to the maximum amount of the rays. The most radiation anyone should safely be exposed to is seven and a half milliroentgens per hour. When the machine is in opera tion, everyone leaves the room to protect them from excessive radia tion.
