THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas Tuesday, May 10, 1960
Around the SWC
By Alan Payne
Southern Methodist University
In a column bowing out after
a year’s service and turning the
paper to a new staff, a columnist
for the SMU Campus recalled the
following events that had occur
red during his tenure: a Japan
ese flag flying in front of an
ROTC federal inspection, an alli
gator in a dormitory shower,
Dresden being the capital of
China and St. Augustine invent
ing frass.
* * *
Also, a candidate for the presi
dency of the SMU student body
proposed to reduce tuition rates
by selling bricks acquired- by
tearing down class room build
ings. By borrowing money from
the students, he promised to give
them a 150 per cent return on
their activity fees. Asked where
he would get the money to pay
off these loans, he replied, “Don’t
worry, we only owe it to our
selves.”
Texas University
' The president of TU’s Student
Assn, has been asked to be re
moved from office by a petition
filed stating that he violated
campaigning regulations in the
recent campus elections held in
Austin in which he was elected.
The president stated that he
had done “nothing to be ashamed
of” while a petitioner said that
the petition was filed to “call
attention to general student
opinion which has led to widely
spread dishonest practices in stu
dent government elections.”

A freshman coed suffered a
most humiliating accident as she
was being honored at a tradi
tional engagement shower.
Following the shower, the coed
slipped and fell on the steps and
was forced to spend the night in
the Student Health Center. Her
mother answered all replies by
stating “I’m confident that she
will be all right.”
* * *
Also, a TU student is currently
engaged in a desperate fight for
the life of a friend.
A prisoner being held in Com
munist Sukarno is scheduled to
die any minute now and the stu
dent is doing everything he pos
sibly can to save him through
numerous letters to prison and
civil officials.
The two boys became friends in
college in Floi’ida before the Ko
rean conflict and remained
friends throughout the action.
The captured youth was caught
in May of 1958 and accused of
carrying arms for rebels.

fessor and remained in this capa
city until September 1959, when
he became a full professor in his
department, a position which he
still retains.
During the summer of 1955,
Holland worked in the Technical
Service Division of Humble Oil
and Refining Co. and, during the
following summer, he was em
ployed in the Unit Operations
Section, Oak Ridge Institute of
Nuclear Studies.
In the profession, Holland is
chairman of the A&M College of
Texas-Baylor University Section
of the American Chemical Society
for 1959-60, and is a member of
the executive committee of the
South Texas , section of the Amer
ican Institute of Chemical Engi
neers. He is a member of Sigma
Xi, Phi Kappa Phi and in the
American . Society of Electrical
Engineers.
Underdeveloped countries in
the world, where milk is in ex
tremely short supply, may soon
be whipping a protein deficiency
disease of children by using cot
tonseed flour as a milk substi
tute.
Dr. Carl M. Lyman, head of
the Department of Biochemistry
and Nutrition, told members of
the 28th annual Oil Mill Oper
ators Short Course held last
weekend at the College that de
velopment of the milk substitute
as a human protein source was a
significant step in nutrition and
in the cottonseed products in
dustry.
He said that Guatemala, a short
milk supply country, is trying the
substitute with good results in a
program to boost the nutritional
level of its children. The substi
tute is known as incaporina.
Incaporina is a combination of
38 per cent cottonseed flour, 29
per cent corn, 29 per cent sor
ghum grain and a smattering of
the necessary vitamins and min
erals. It is mixed with water to
make a drink.
Children relish it, Lyman said,
and the cost is a mere penny a
glass in Guatemala.
The nutritionist said children
often come down with a protein
deficiency ailment known as
kwashiorkor when they are un
able to get enough milk. The di
sease is responsible for many
deaths.
Lyman predicted that in the
near future, cottonseed, protein
will become an important human
food in many areas of the world
where animal protein sources are
scarce.
He told the group that cotton
seed flour, to be fit for human
consumption, must have all the
hulls removed and be of high
quality.
Heading the incaporina project
in Guatemala is Dr. N. S. Scrim
shaw, director of the Institute of
Nutrition of Central America and
Panama.
Discussing livestock nutrition,
Lyman said is has became in
creasingly apparent that the un
availability of lysine, an essen
tial amino acid, is a primary fac
tor in the feeding value of cotton
seed meal. When commercial ly
sine is added to hog rations, for
example, meal mediochre in qual
ity can be converted to an ex
cellent source of protein.
He said that commercial lysine
is still too expensive to be prac
tical, although the price is trend
ing downward.

The Oil Mill Operators Short
Course was conducted by the De
partment of Chemical Engineer
ing in co-operation with the Tex
as Cottonseed Crushers Assn,
and the International Oil Mill
Superintendents Assn.
Another speaker, H. D. Reeves
of the Plains Co-Operative Oil
Mill at Lubbock, -said his firm
uses asphalt pavement as a base
on which to store cottonseed out
in the open. The asphalt is
slightly high in the middle for
drainage purposes.
If possible, green seed should
not be stored outside, he said.
When inside storage is not avail
able, green seed should be placed
at the end of the pile where it
can be worked first.
Outside stored seed should be
packed and depressions smoothed
out to shed rain, Reeves said. A
cooling system should be installed
to avoid seed heating.
W. B. Harris of the Cottonseed
Products Research Laboratory y
here discussed aeration studies
and described how seed pile re- j
sistance to air flow varies with
depth.

EUROPE MADE SIMPLE: NO. 2
'Last week we discussed En^and, the first stop on the tour of
Europe that every American college student is going to make
this summer. Today we will discuss your next stop, France—or
the Pearl of the Pacific, as it is generally called.
To get from England to France, one greases one’s body and
swims the English Channel. Similarly, to get from France to
Spain, one greases one’s body and slides down the Pyrenees.
As you can see, the most important single item to take to Europe
is a valise full of grease.
No, I am wrong. The most important single item to take to
Europe is a valise full of Marlboro Cigarettes. Oh, what a piece
of work is Marlboro! If you think flavor went out when filters
came in, treat yourself to a Marlboro. The filter works perfectly,
and yet you get the full, zestful, edifying taste of the choice
tobaccos that precede the filter. This remarkable feat of cigarette
engineering was achieved by Marlboro’s research team—Fred
Softpack and Walter Fliptop—and I, for one, am grateful.
But I digress. We were speaking of France—or the Serpent of
the Nile, as it is popularly termed.
First let us briefly sum up the history of France. The nation
was discovered in 1492 by Madame Guillotine. There followed
a series of costly wars with Schleswig-Holstein, the Cleveland
Indians, and Captain Dreyfus. Stability finally came to this
troubled land with, the coronation of Marshal Foch, who
married Lorraine Alsace and had three children: Flopsy, Mopsy,
and Charlemagne. This later became known as the Petit Trianon.
Marshal Foch—or the Boy Orator of the Platte, as he was
. affectionately called—was succeeded by Napoleon who intro
duced shortness to France. Until Napoleon, the French were the
tallest nation in Europe. After Napoleon, most Frenchmen wore
able to walk comfortably under card tables. This later became
known as the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Napoleon was finally exiled to Elba where he made the
famous statement, “Able was I ere I saw Elba,” which reads
the same whether you spell it forwards or backwards. You can
also spell Marlboro backwards—Ofobiram. Do not, however,
try to smoke Marlboro backwards because that undoes all the
efficacy of the great Marlboro filter.
After Napoleon’s death the French people fell into a great
depression, known as the Louisiana Purchase. For over a cen
tury everybody sat around moping and refusing his food. This
torpor was not lifted until Eiffel built his famous tower, which
made everybody giggle so hard that today France is the gayest
country in all Europe.
Each night the colorful natives gather at sidewalk cafes and
shout “Oo-la-la” as Maurice Chevalier promenades down the
Champs Elysees swinging his Malacca cane. Then, tired but
happy, everyone goes to the Louvre for bowls of onion soup.
The principal industry of France is cashing travelers checks.
Well sir, I guess that’s all you need to know about France.
Next week we’ll visit the Land of the Midnight Sun—Spain.
©i960 Max Shulwan
Next week, this week, every week, the best of the filter
cigarettes is Marlboro, the best of the twn-filters is Philip
Morris; both available in soft pack or flip-top box.
