TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 1955
Growing Prestige
Filings are now open for the general elec
tions, which is mainly for Student Senate
seats.
The Student Senate has some faults, but
it is by far the most efficient all-student
group that meets around here. Its record of
things accomplished is good, and its record
of assinine acts is small this year.
The senate may go off on a tangent every
once in a while, but by and large it is a sen
sible, mature organization.
Its members, all of them elected by the
student body, have a real interest in what is
best for A&M, and they sincerely try to ac
complish this.
Many of their recommendations to the
administration have been put into effect, and
this has caused the group to grow in practice.
Not too many years ago, the senate.was
looked upon as a low-grade debate club, where
a few disgruntled students gathered to blow
off steam.
Now it is looked a*t as the most represen
tative voice of the student body, and its rec
ommendations carry the weight of this pres
tige.
It’s a good organization to be a member
of, and filing for this election is the first
step.

Mcllory Will Be
Project Leader
W. W. Mcllroy of the agricul
tural education department has
been chosen project leader for
A&M’s cooperative work with An
tonio Narro School of Agriculture.
He will leave soon to assume
duties in Saltillo, Mexico, where
the program is now organized.
Mcllroy spent two years in In
dia on a similar program under the
Foreign Operations administration.
Other members who will go to
Saltillo under the cooperative pro
gram will be chosen later, said D.
W. Williams, vice-chancellor for
agriculture.
Entries for the Chick, Poult and
Egg Show here May 7 are now be
ing - accepted, according to John
Williams, president of the Poultry
Science club, which sponsors the
show.
Any hatchery man, breeder
commercial poultryman who wishes
to enter can contact Williams for
an entry blank. (
“A new method of selecting
chicks for judging is being used
this year,” Williams said. “Chicks
will be selected at random in the
hatchery by a disinterested person,
usually the county agent or a
teacher of vocational agriculture,
and will be shipped to the college
for the show.
“This way, prizes will be award
ed on the basis of average quality
in hatching chicks, rather than for
a selected sample,” he said.
Poult and market egg - entries
will be chosen by owners and ex
hibitors.
Winners in the show will receive
trophies. All entries in the show
Leipper To Speak
Dr. Dale F. Leipper head of the
oceanography department of A&M
will be the guest speaker at the

South Texas division of the Texas
Academy of Science in Brbwns-
ville, April 15-16.
Now Open
Egg Show
will be sold at auction, with the
proceeds going to the Poultry Sci
ence club, Williams said.
From this fund, one scholarship
is given each year for poultry
study, and two judging teams are
sent to regional and national con
tests.
