‘Very Few 7
Classes
Discontinued
“Very few” summer classes
have been discontinued because
of the legislative rule requir
ing a minimum of 12 students
in each class, according to
Dean of the College John
Paul Abbott.
“I don’t belive we have had
much trouble this term,” Ab
bott said.
Abbott went on to say that
he believes less classes have
had to be cancelled since the
rule than were canceled before
it went into effect.
He attributed the difference
to better planning.
The rule says that each
undergraduate class must be
canceled if it has less than 12
students, and each graduate
class if it has less than four
students.

Halick Is Awarded
$3,600 Fellowship
John V. Halick has been awarded
a $3,600 fellowship, good for a
year, effective June 1, 1954. The
fellowship will allow Halick to
complete the requirements for a
Ph D degree in biochemistry and
nutrition here.
For the past two years Halick
has been employed by the Agri
cultural Experiment station and
has been working with Dr. L. R.
Richardson to determine why mix
ed feeds and feed ingredients some
times heat and spoil, and to develop
practical means of preventing this
loss.
It was found that heating and
the accompanying loss in feeds
were caused by the growth of
molds due to an excessive amount
of moisture.
This work attracted the attention
of J. A. Gooch, a director of the
T. J. Brown and C. A. Lupton
foundation of Fort Worth, who was
on the campus inspecting other
work, and he recommended Halick
for the fellowship.
Halick will now spend his en
tire time oh his graduate program
and plans to complete his course
and write his dissertation. His dis
sertation will be a study of com
pounds which prevent the growth
of molds when added to feed.
He is 27 years old and a veteran
of World War II. He received his
BS degree in science in 1950 and
his MS degree in biochemistry and
nutrition in 1951 from A&M.
Halick is a member of Phi Kappa
Phi, Sigma Xi, and the Poultry
Science association. He is a
native of Houston and makes his
home in Bryan with his wife and
three children.

State 4-H
Ends With
ayers
as TT Members
Four Suspended
Until Next June
Four of the 18 students suspended for being members of
the TT’s, a secret fraternity, have been identified as football
players Norbert Ohlendorf, tackle; Bill Schroeder, end; Billy
Huddleston, halfback; and Ray Barrett, guard.
The four, and the other 14, are under indefinite sus
pension from the college, which means that they may apply
for readmission “at some future date.”
The members of the secret organization were uncovered
a week before the spring semester ended. At the time, Pres
ident David H. Morgan refused to release the names of the
18, saying he had promised them at the start of the investi
gation that their names would not be made public.
The names of the four foot
ball players were printed by
the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram
Tuesday.
Morgan told the Dallas
Morning News that none of the
suspended students could apply for
readmission before June of 1955.
‘Not Eligible*
“If there are any football play
ers involved,” he said, “they will
not be eligible to participate with
the team this year.” Paul (Bear)
Bryant, football coach and athletic
director, said Tuesday, that he had
discussed the case with college of
ficials but that he had had no def
inite notice of the punishment.

MSC Plans
‘Stag ’N Hag’
Dance Tuesday
The first in a new series of
informal dances will be held
in the fountain room of the
Memorial Student Center
Tuesday.
The dance, called a “Stag ’N
Hag” dance by MSC summer pro
gram chairman Gary Bourgeois,
will start at 7:30. Chairs and ta
bles will be removed from the
south side of the fountain room to
make a place for the danqe.
The south side will be partition
ed off from the rest of the room,
making a place called “The Hide-
a-way.”
This first dance will be a “get-
acquainted dance,” Bourgeois said,
with A&M students and girls from
College Station and Bryan coming
without dates.
“After this dance, it’s up to the
Aggies to get dates,” he said-
Admission will be 25 cents, with
or without date. Music will be fur
nished by a juke box and drinks
can be bought at the fountain and
taken back to the booths in “The
Hide-a-way.”

Vet Trade Paper
Honors Building
The current issue of Cutter Stan
dard, a veterinary trade paper, has
a special article in it on A&M’s
new veterinary hospital.
The story has pictures of t h e
building, its facilities and mem
bers of the veterinary staff.
“Certainly these new facilities,
as well as those to come in the fu
ture,” the paper says, “offer Texas
agriculture many real and usable
advantages for increasing live
stock production, so vitally need
ed.”
Paul (Bear) Bryant said
yesterday the loss of the four
players wil have a “telling ef
fect” on A&M football pros
pects.
Bryant’s complete statement
was, “Official notification wasi
received today that certain mem
bers of our football team will
not be re-admitted to A&M Col
lege this fall and will, therefore,
be lost for the 1954 football
season.
“Personally, I am very much
in sympathy with those affected
and realize that losing them will
have a telling effect on our team
this fall. Nevertheless, in my
opinion an unnecessary obstacle
has been removed, for, whether
good or bad, nothing should be
present that in any way could
affect one’s loyalty to the team
or the college.”
All 18 charged with'membership
in the group were allowed to com--
plete their school work for the
spring semester. Degrees were in
definitely withheld for graduating
seniors in the group, and all others
were indefinitely suspended.
“This has gone through chan
nels,” Morgan told the Dallas pa
per, “and the decision has been
made. Any of the students under
indefinite suspension may make
application for readmission in
June, 1955, but not at an earlier
date.”
Since the football players had
completed their work for the year,
they would be eligible to play for
A&M next year.
Will Apply
“The only word we have from
the college is that we are under
indefinite suspension,” Ohlendorf
told the News. “No one has in
dicated how long the suspension
will be. I intend to make applica
tion some time this summer. The
last time I talked to the other play
ers involved, they said they had
similar plans.”
Ohlendorf said he would not be
interested in attending any other
college and did not know what he
would do if he were not allowed to
come back to A&M.
The Star-Telegram called the
suspension of the football players
a “blow” to A&M’s “thin squad.”
‘Blow’
Lourin McMullen, writing in a
by-lined sports column in the Star-
Telegram, said, “Four such valu
able hands perhaps would not be
so seriously missed if Bryant had
behind him three or four years
of talent reaping comparable to the
harvest he has made for A&M.
“At this stage of the game, how
ever, the loss is a blow to a thin
squad.”
IN THE HOLE—This truck is down in what looks like a
ditch completing the foundation for the new Highway Re
search center. The building, which is being constructed
next to the old veterinary hospital, will house the research
center headed by Gibb Gilchrist and Thomas MacDonald.
P.S.—the truck got out of the hole the day after the pic
ture was taken.
