14 Students
Flan One-Day
River Tour
Fourteen wildlife management
students, under the direction of
Dr. R. J. Baldauf, assistant pro
fessor of Wildlife Management,
are planning a one-day survey
tour of the lower parts of the
Trinity River and its estuary.
The trip, one of a series to be
held in conjunction with the study
of fresh water ichthyology, is de
signed to take a survey of the
fishes and other types of aquatic
life in the river, Baldauf said.
Working in co-operation with
the local game wardens, the class
plans to collect fish by seining,
take samples of plankton and make
representative tests of the river’s
temperature, salinity, dissolved
oxygen content, and pH.
Similarly, the group hopes to
catch some of the fish that use
the river’s estuary as a breeding
place, and by comparison with
catches of different tours deter
mine growth rates and reproduc
tive methods.
The first of the tours will be
held on a Saturday, and will be
made as soon as the weather is
favorable, Baldauf stated.
The tour is unique in that the
lower part of the Trinity has never
been studied extensively for this
type of information, he noted.

Intercollegiate Press
Colleges Note Preparation
Of High School Students
With college enrollment growing
by leaps and bounds every year
colleges all over the country are
beginning to pay more attention
to the jobs high schools are doing
to prepare their seniors for col-
ege careers, according to the In
tercollegiate Press.
Kent State University
A college freshman’s greatest
weakness, according to Dr. Edgar
L. McCormick, chairman of the
freshman English program at
Kent State University, is his lack
of pre-college writing.
“Studies at Kent indicate that
marks drop at least one-half a let
ter in college and that students
earning less than a “B” in high
school English do not have skills
needed for success in college Eng
lish,” McCormick said.
A five-man committee at Kent
plans and administers the fresh
man English program. In addition
it evaluates and follows up results
of a test which entering freshmen
must take in vocabulary, reading,
and spelling. Reports are sent to
high schools whose graduates at
tain superior ratings on these tests
as well as to high schools whose
graduates have been assigned to
remedial classes, he added.
Iowa State Teachers College
Iowa State Teachers College is
tightening its admission require
ments as a result of excess appli
cations. President J. W. Maucker
said that students in the upper
half of their high school graduat
ing class who appeear to meet all
other qualifications are usually
admitted without question.
“Students near the fiftieth per
centile and below may be admitted
only if their performance On tests
and other evidence, : such as per
sonal interviews, indicate they
have a reasonable chance of suc
cess in college in spite of a relar

Maucker said emphasis is placed
on rank in class because evidenc
indicated that rank in class in tin

cess in college.
“However, the problem of pre
dieting success is so complex that
we cannot rely on any single in

tions of the students’ ability. Our
chief' concern in admision of stu
dents is to make sure the prospec

chance for success in college,” said
Maucker.
North Carolina State College
A new School of Physical Sci
ences ' and Applied Mathematics
which will embrace the present de
partments of physics, mathemat
ics, chemistry and experimental
statistics is to be established at
North Carolina State College, ac
cording to Dr. John T. Caldwell,
chancellor of the college.
The new school will be respons
ible for both instruction and re
search in these four major scien
tific fields, Caldwell stated.
“Science has been remaking the
world at a constantly accelerating
pace. This new science has not
only had an impact on man’s tech
nology; it has influenced his total
way of life, and particularly his
mode of thinking. This is partic
ularly true of colleges dedicated
to bringing the impacts of science
to the daily lives of all people,”
said Caldwell.
Barnard College
Two elected undergraduate
groups as well as the trustees of
Barnard College have adopted a
resolution opposing the National
Defense Education Act with its
loyalty and disclaimer oaths.
The resolution, according to
President Millicent O. McIntosh,
reflects her own and the faculty’s
opinion that the affidavit is “de
signed to control students’ beliefs
at a time in their lives when they
should be encouraged to widen
their intellectual horizons.”
Congress Duties
Undergo Changes
WASHINGTON, Mar. 3, (A>)_
At one time a congressman’s prin
cipal, and almost exclusive function
was to pass laws. Rep. Joe Kil
gore. (Dj of McAllen, says thijlgs
have changed.
“My responsibility to the people
I represent does NOT end with
the performance^ of legislative du
ties,” Kilgore said in a report to
constituents.
‘enormous in size . .
“Our federal government has be
come pnormous in size and vastly
complicated. Too often the indi
vidual feels lost and hopeless in
his necessary contacts with this
huge governmental machine.
“At times a congressman can
help to cut the red tape and expe
dite action on a matter involving
an individual citizen and one of
the numerous government bureaus
or agencies. When I can properly
do so, I. never hesitate.
“This does NOT involve exert
ing pressure. It is a matter of
‘knowing the ropes’—an awareness
of shortcuts that will help to keep
one person’s problems from being
lost in a bureaucratic maze.”
‘harder to study . .
Years ago on the House Floor,
the late Rep. Luther Patrick of
Alabama said: “A Congressman
has become an expanded messen
ger boy, an employment agency...
veterans’ affairs adjuster, watch
dog for the under dog, sympathiz
er with the upper dog.. .corner
stone layer, but it is getting harder
every day to properly study legis
lation—the very busin'ess we are
primarily here to discharge.”
Kilgore, in similar remarks,
said: “The people of the 15th
District have a right to expect
that I, as their Representative in
Congress, will study proposed leg
islation, attend carefully to debate
in the House, and be present and

vote when the time comes. That
is what I try to do. This is a duty
both to my constituents and to the
people of the United States as a
whole.” 1
Vote as they feel. .
One. old timer in the Texas dele
gation, asked whether a congress
man should vote the way he per
sonally feels on an issue even
though it may be entirely opposite
the known views of the vast ma
jority of his constituents, said:
“Of course. A congressman has
the advantage of knowing, or at
least being aware of facts in many
instances which are NOT gener
ally known to his constituents. He
Should then vote as he thinks will
be in their best interest.”
Lifting Laws
He then cited his vote and that
of many others of the Texas dele
gation in favor of lifting certain
neutrality laws prior to World War
II, when public sentiment in Texas
was against such a vote, because
of a more acute awareness here of
Hitler’s growing menace.
System Offices
To Recognize
‘Day of Prayer’
The College and System offices
housed on the A&M campus will
join with the College Station Coun
cil of Church Women in recogniz
ing Friday, March 4, as “World
Day of Prayer,” President Earl
Rudder has announced.
“It is requested that we halt
our activities for one minute of
silent prayer as we unite with the
people throughout this country
and around the world in observing
World Day of Prayer,” Rudder
said.
To signal this occasion and also
as a reminder, the college whistle
will blow at 10 a.m. and again at
one minute past 10.
