This was only one of many events attended by the Joneses and nineteen other couples who were treated to a weekend “on the town”, July 28-30. as win ners of the “Fifty Fabulous Hours” Contest sponsored by the Downtown Dallas Commit tee of the Dallas Chamber of Commerce. ' Authorized Absences Procedure Released A general memorandum has been released from the President’s office at Texas A&M concerning the procedure for authorizing ab sences. The College Regulations explain the purpose of the Authorized Ab sence List in paragraph 17 on Page 4 of the 1960 edition. It will be noted that absence for athletic trips or other activities specifically approved by the Exec utive Committee, and for hospital ization in the College Hospital, or for illness at home when veri fied by a statement from the fam ily physician, constitute our only legitimate reasons for inclusion of a student’s name on the Au thorized Absence List. Where absence is due to other causes, other procedures are applicable as explained in paragraph 17. The Executive Committee has approved the following procedure for having the names of one or more students placed on the Au thorized Absence List: 1. If the entire group consists of students attending only one school, the Dean of that school is the final approving authority. In this case the Dean will notify Mr. Zinn, Director of Student Af fairs, of the names of the men to be placed on the Authorized Ab sence List. The Dean is respons ible to see that students on proba tion or whose grade point ratio is less than 1.0 are not included on the list unless the Dean accepts the responsibility for making the specific exception in such cases. 2. Where the student to be ab sent is taking courses in more than one school, or where the group of students contains individuals from more than one school, the request for authorized absence will be for warded through channels to the Dean of Instruction with a state ment that none of the students is on probation and that all have grade point ratios of 1.0 or better. After approval one copy will be sent to Mr. Zinn for inclusion on the Authorized Absence List, one copy will be retained in the Dean of Instruction office, and two cop ies returned to each Dean con cerned. 3. Where the absence is neither on official College business nor due to illness of a student at the College, or at home, the individual student will have to make his own arrangements with his instructors for the absence and to make up any work missed. He will not be placed on the Authorized Absence List. For requests requiring action by the Dean of Instruction, a mini mum of six copies are required. If more than two deans of schools are involved, two additional copies are required for each additional dean. Space should be provided at the bottom of the last sheet for the signatures of approval of each office through which the re quest must pass.

The Market Summary for July points out that fat cattle weigh ing over 1,000 pounds were severe ly penalized during the month and that this resulted in a very nar row spread in the price of stand ard and choice cattle, and that there also has been a very narrow spread in prices paid for heifer and steer cattle. The market also reflected a smaller than normal spread be tween the price of low and high quality feeder cattle. Entrance Exam (Continued from Page 1) dent s admission to Texas A&M is accomplished on the basis of his high school transcript, and that the test scores are for purpose of placement. A validating study of these will be conducted by the Counseling and Testing Center during the school year 1961-62. The Counseling and Testing Cen ter, through its sponsoring witk. degree schools and summer coun seling clinics, will continue to ex plore supplementary testing in an effort to supply useful informa tion to degree schools. Gins Move Out With Most Other Industry By The Associated Press RICHARDSON — The trend in recent years has been to the sub urbs. Families and industries have been deserting the cities for more space in the country. Now even a cotton gin is moving to the coun try. It all started in January of this year when the Farmers Co-op So ciety of Richardson decided to move its gin out of town. Built around the turn of the cen tury when Richardson was a vil lage, the gin in recent years be came surrounded by new buildings and hundreds of homes. As Richardson grew into a rela tively large town, acreage that once grew cotton was sold and homes built on the land. Each year for the past five years the cotton crop around the area has dimin ished. Farmers who still raise the crop found it difficult to get to the gin because of the traffic problem cre ated by swarms of cars and peo ple shopping’ at nearby centers. Besides that, the city fathers were disturbed by the burning of cotton seed hulls with the result ing smoke and fire hazard. So in January the 75 members of the Co-op, headed by their pre- ident, E. C. Huffhines Jr., met and decided it was time to move the plant to the suburbs. The organi zation bought five acres at Ren ner, some 6 miles to the north and closer to cotton farmers. “We figured it was time to move,” explains Huffhines. “Last year about 1,000 acres of land went into building lots with a loss of about 400 bales of cotton.” The actual move began in April and all buildings were moved ex cept the main gin. The cotton house and seed house were cut in sections and moved to the new site, where they were reassembled. The main gin, obsolete by mod® methods, was scrapped, and amoi. ern, fire-proof plant erected on & new grounds. In the new planti! machinery will be powered byefe tricity instead of diesel poifi which turned the wheels of fe old plant. It cost about $60,000 to mdvetl; plant and it should be complft i and ready for the first cotta around the last of August. All agree the move was forth best. “We hope to gain twicetii amount lost last year,” said A.), 1 McGee, the ginner. “There will be a lot more rr for wagons coming to theginai.|j more space for the plant andet fice,” says Huffhines, adding, "n plan a farm store where suppfe can be purchased along with fen. lizer, and the railroad siding w help us to get supplies with trouble.
