On September 16 (which will henceforth be known as T-Day, or the Day the Trucks Came), a swarm of massive trucks of many descriptions will appear on the college’s hallowed grounds —huge vans, refrigerator trucks, oil tanks, diesels, and just plain trucks. One’s first impression might be that a large part of the college is planning a mass evacuation from the campus.

The Texas State Department of Health, the U. S. Public Health Service and the City of College Station are cosponsors of the pro- gram in cooperation with heavy equipment manufacturers who will display their sanitary landfill and collection apparatus. Registration will be at Room 107, Biology Building, from 9:00 to 9:30 a.m. There is no registra tion fee. Talks on refuse collection and sanitary landfills will be given fol lowed by a general discussion and answer period and a review of the collection equipment. After lunch (courtesy of the equipment manu facturers) the on-the spot demon strations will take place. Civic groups, especially women’s j organizations, and any interested persons are invited to attend in ad dition to city officials and public health personnel.

The truth is’ however’ that, this activity signals the beginning of the Truck Driver School of Texas, which will attract recruit and veteran truck drivers from throughout Texas and other states as well. The new school was con ceived and will be operated by, the Engineering Extension Service of the A&M College System. The truck drivers will have a specially allotted area in which to practice fundamental driving ma neuvers and sharpen up their driv ing techniques. This activity will certainly provide some lively* scenes for campus dawdlers. According to its officials the school will offer four action-packed weeks of training to help prepare young men for rewarding futures in the motor transportation field— and give experieiiced drivers that “extra edge” necessary for im provement and advancement in their jobs. “Intensive classroom instruction and realistic field work charac terize the school. The ambitious truck driver student will emerge from his studies equipped with a large measure of practical know how, a clear understanding of the truck driver’s duties and obliga tions, a better acquaintance with traffic laws, and a conviction to become the safest driver on the road,” the officials added. The school, in addition to pro viding a generous amount of be- hind-the-wheel practice, will con- AIIE Members Elect New Officers H. D.
