Farm Journal
Publishes Article
By A. B. Kennerly
A. B. Kennerly of the Texas Ex
periment Station, A&M, has an
article, “Melons On Bushes,” pub
lished in the February issue of
Farm Journal magazine.
Kennerly says the brand-new va
riety of melons, developed by Rob
ert C. Mohr at the Experiment
Station, is fine-textured, fine-flav
ored and resists wilt and anthrac-
nose disease.
The article also says the new
melon is also a space saver; it oc
cupies only 33 per cent as much
ground as do regular melon vari
eties.

permanent college policy,” said
Hannigan.
Corps Memorandum
The memorandum given to the
Corps from the Office of the Com
mandant states that “on the cam
pus” shall include the regularly
difined college property within the
four gates, North, South, East and
West.
It also states when civilian
clothes are being worn no stops
will be made on the campus such
as checking a post office box, vis
iting the Memorial Student Cen
ter, etc. Cadets not in uniform
will proceed directly from their
dormitories to the off-campus
place they are visiting and when
returning to the campus will pro
ceed directly Back to their dormi
tory rooms.
Hannigan said the penalty for
offenses will be more strict with
this new liberal policy.
Uniforms Issued and Bought
Each cadet, when he enters the
Corps is issued free over $100 in
uniforms. However, Hannigan
added, many freshmen purchase as
high as another $100 worth of uni
forms in order to be able to be
neat 24 hours a day and seven days
a week.
“The new rule concerning civil
ian clothes off campus is designed
both as a privilege to the cadet
and as a possible means of slightly
reducing the number of uniforms
which a freshman must purchase
over and above those issued,” said
Hannigan.
“Both of these measures are ex
perimental in nature and will be
permanently adopted only if the
.cadets show that they can become
permanent policy without a decline
in military discipline and smart
ness.”

said today. “Application for the
CEEB examinations should be
made no later than Feb. 13 to
avoid paying an extra $3 fee for
applications received between Feb.
13 and 27.”
The Atmospheric Sciences Pro
gram is sponsored by the American
Meteorological Society at The
Loomis school.
The basic purpose of the At
mospheric Sciences Program is to
help the students acquire a
breadth of understanding in sci
ence, which will give added mean
ing to all of their future study and
provide an opportunity to discover
some of the fascination of a scien
tific career in this branch of the
physical sciences.
The grant from the NSF and
contributions of services and facil
ities by The Loomis School, Trinity
College, Conn., and cooperating
meteorological laboratories will de
fray costs of more than five hun
dred dollars per student. The re
mainder of the cost of the program
will be met by these charges to
students: Living costs, $150; ac
tivity fee, $25 and usage and break
age fee, $25. A travel allowance
of four cents a mile to a miximum
of $35 will be paid each student
for one round-trip to The Loomis
School from his home.

Ike Invites Walton
To Safety Meet
President Eisenhower has invited
Prof. E. V. Walton, head of A&M’s
Department of Agricultural Edu
cation to attend the President’s
Conference on Occupational Safety
March 1-3 in Washington, D. C.
The conference will bring to
gether more than 3,000 leaders in
American industry, labor, agricul
ture, insurance, education, health,
private safety organizations and
federal, state and local govern
ments from throughout the nation.
President Eisenhower will ad
dress the group on March 1.
Purpose of the meeting is to de
vise and then apply voluntary, co
operative means for reducing the
13,300 deaths and nearly 2 million
disabling injuries occuring annu
ally because of on-the-job acci
dents.
Walton said accidents on farms
and ranches in Texas cost $6,471,-
108 annually and account for 1,-
754,314 lost working days. Sixty-
four per cent of these accidents
occur in the 15 to 19-year-old
group.
Prevention plans developed by
Professor Walton are widely used
in Texas and may serve as a model
for the nation, according to Na
tional Safety Council officials.

CLEAN UP ON YOUR LAUNDRY
(see below)
Dear Dr. Frood: I told my girl I was in
love, and she Jaughed. I told her I wanted
to get married, and she laughed. How
can I make her realize that I’m serious?
Serious
Dear Serious: Marry someone.
60s oOn tOi
Dear Dr. Frood: I have been having
trouble sleeping at night. Do you think
it could be because I drink coffee?
Wide-Eyed
Dear Wide-Eyed: Possibly. It’s very
difficult to sleep while drinking coffee.
Dear Dr. Frood: A lot of the guys com
plain because their mothers don’t pack
their laundry boxes properly. Is there a
certain way they should be packed?
Spokesman
Dear Spokesman: Indeed there is. Clip
out the instructions below and mail them
to your mother.
Instructions: "
1. Place bills of varying denominations in shirt
collars (A) to Veep them stiff.
2. Wrap socks around rolls of dimes (B) to keep
them from getting mismated.
3. Place other change in pockets (C) of khSkT
pants. This way it won’t roll around and rattle
in the box.
© A. 7- Cc.j
Dear Dr. Frood: Do you believe in the
old adage, “Choose a girl by ear rather
than by eye”? Shopping
Dear Shopping: This maxim is indeed a
fine guide for any young man who is look
ing for a girl. But while choosing by “ear
rather than by eye,” he should also make
sure she has two of each.
Dear Dr. Frood: Every night I come
home tired and I find the house in a mess.
There are dirty dishes and pans in the
sink, and clothes are thrown all around.
I’m fed up. What should I do?
Married Student
Dear Married Student: You should
notify the police. Someone has obviously
been there.
Dr. Frood, Ph.T.T.
c^s e&i
Dear Dr. Frood: How far ahead should
I call for a date? Straight Arrow
Dear Straight Arrow: It depends. Some
girls must be called at least a week in
advance. With others, you just holler as
you enter the dorm.
Dear Dr. Frood: My husband is an ab
sent-minded college professor. He went
out 7 years ago to buy a pack of Luckies
and hasn’t returned yet. I don’t know
what to do. Patience
Dear Patience: Better buy another pack.
He’s probably smoked them all by now.
