and visitors to Mardi Gras that
should linger a long while.
Each time the R.V.’s stopped
along the parade route some spec
tator usually tried to make an
R.V. smile by waving hands in
front of his face and otherwise
heckling him. One lady tried
everything she could think of to
bring a smile, but to no avail.
Finally a man standing a few paces
away said, “Hell, lady, I’ve been
coming to these parades for ten
years and I haven’t seen one of
those boys smile yet.”
Cries of “Gig ’em Aggies” and
“Yea Ole Army” were constant re
minders that Aggie rooters were
among the crowd. One tall tea-
sip pushed his way to the edge of
the crowd so he could yell “Hook

young girl push him aside and
yell, “That’s OK Army, you’ll show

When the parade was over and
the boys were on the buses wait
ing to go back to Camp Leroy
Johnson, one Aggie was heard to
say, “I’m glad it’s over, but I
wouldn’t take a million dollars for
the thrill I got from coming to
Mardi Gras.”

Dr. Sterling Ik Hendricks, chief
scientist, mineral nutrition lab
oratory, USDA, ARS, Soil and
Water Research Division, Belts-
ville, Md., will deliver a graduate
lecture tonight at 8 p.m. in the
Lecture Room of the Biological
Sciences Building.
The famed scientist will talk on
“Photoperiodism and the Action
of Phytochrome.” The public is
invited.
“The successful' isolation from
living plants of a light-sensitive
blue pigment that triggers their
growth and development, from seed
to fruiting,’ has brought us closer
to a new era of understanding and
control of the basic responses of
plants,” Dr. Wayne C. Hall, Dean
of the Graduate School, in an
nouncing the lecture, said today.
“A team of scientists of the
USDA, headed by Dr. H. A. Borth-
wick and Hendricks announced
this break-through achievement in
September, 1959 and najned the
chemical phytochrome. Phyto
chrome operates the light-dark
clockwork of plants and its go-
stop signals direct a plant’s prog
ress from one stage to the next
as if a master valve was working,”
Revelations of phytochrorae's
existence and workings give new
insight to discoveries that began
in 1918, when Garner and Allard
discovered and enunciated the con
cept of photoperiodism. These
light-growth discoveries have far.
