THE FRESHMAN WERE quick to react. Firmly believing that they had been grossly insulted, they proceeded to mete out punishment to the offending juniors as a whole. For a starter, they rushed en masse upon a certain innocent-looking junior who happened to be the nearest. Closing round, they quick ly decided to introduce that worthy gentleman to the “pleasures” of a ducking in the waves of the nata- torium’s swimming pool. Gloomy indeed seemed the pros pects for this poor junior as, sur rounded by the enraged fish, he was started on his waterward jour ney. This, however, was only the prelude to the battle royal. A BAND OF JUNIORS now reinforced by the sophomore class, with blood in their eyes, bore down on the freshmen and their captive. They rushed the army of fishs in battle formation and, resorting somewhat to gridiron tactics, hurdl ed, bucked center and crashed and fought savagely around the ends. Nothing could be seen but bodies swinging left and right comprising a body of writhing humanity, cam paign hats, shirting, shreds of cadet grey and an air filled with the groans and savage yells of com batants. Thus the battle raged for a few minutes, but eventually, after near ly tearing the classmate in two whom they were trying to rescue in the first place, the allied juniors and sophomores withdrew only too eargerly. While the upperclassmen left to nurse their many bruises the fish suddenly remembering their picture, forgot the offending juniors, declared a truce and head ed back to try again. . ■I'"’. ! ■: J > ^^Mi ^•My'" ^ CLASS OF ’06 REACTED QUICKLY ... upperclassmen left to nurse their bruises Foreign Students Get Invites The Institute of International Education has invited 25 A&M for eign students to be guests of Hous ton families April 11-13. Robert L. Melcher, foreign stu dent advisor, said the dates are part of the Easter holiday period and “would be a fine opportunity for students to relax and enjoy themselves and still return to the campus in time to prepare for school on April 16.” He said the cost to each student for a round-trip bus ticket is $5.25. There are no other costs. All meals, lodging and entertain ment will be provided by the host families. “The first 25 men who come to my office and tell me they want to go will be the ones selected for the trip,” Melcher said. “I will require a deposit of $5.25 so I can buy the round-trip bus ticket. I will not accept reservations after 5 p.m. April 4.” Students will leave College Sta tion at 9:14 a.m. April 11 and ar rive in Houston at 11:40 a.m. They will be met at the bus depot by host families and taken to the re spective homes, he said. THE BATTALION Thursday, March 28, 1963 College Station, Texas Page 5 Space Chickens May Be Answer William E. Shaklee of the U. S. Department of Agriculture’s Co operative State Experiment Station Service at Washington, D. C., sug gested that the solution to the problem of finding a protein source for astronauts may be chickens. “Perhaps someday we’ll have poultry farms on the moon” he said at the annual Commercial Egg Clinic here Wednesday. Chickens were suggested for a diet on lengthy space trips be cause of their rapid growth. THE EGG CLINIC is held each year to keep egg producers abreast of the latest progress and prob lems in their fast-changing in dustry, Ben Wormeli, extension poultry husbandman, said. Dr. J .H. Quisenberry, head of the Department of Poultry Science and a speaker at the clinic, said milo is a good grain for laying diets, but it cannot completely take the place of corn. “Even when we build the best diets we know how, our research data still indicates that a combina tion of milo and corn will give bet ter performance than all milo diets,” the scientist emphasized to the estimated 250 persons attending the session. QUISENBERRY SAID THAT current A&M poultry research is trying to find out how to supple ment milo diets to make them equal to com diets. Another speaker, Hajime Ota of the USDA’s Agricultural Engineer ing Research Division at Beltsville, Md., said the practice of shelter ing laying hens on less floor space is a big problem in winter and sum mer operation of houses. Personal attention, he said, is still required to set and operate the well-made commercial controls and equipment to get the desired house air condition. Dr. Robert R. Shrode of Syca more, 111., geneticist with DeKalb Agricultural Association, explained how poultry geneticists try to de velop superior layers through use of complex statistics, electronic computers and co-ordinated re search.
