An example of a young man who knows what he wants and where he is going, is Noe Marmo- lejo, a fifth year Architectui'e stu dent. Marmolejo was determined to reach Barcelona, Spain, in time to represent A&M and, as it turned out, the United States, at the In ternational Student Architects Conference. By making up a bro chure of all the architectural spots that he intended to visit in Eu rope, and showing it to various interested parties, he convinced them of his sincerity and persuad ed them to finance his trip. As it turned out Marmolejo not only represented A&M at the con ference but became chairman of the United States delegation. Yet another Aggie by the name of Alvaro Restrepo was deter mined to go on a tour of Europe. By supplementing an allowance from his parents with his own money from part time work, he was able to finance a 9000-mile trip that took him all over Europe. He took a total of 540 photographs that he will be paying for all year. Thus six Aggies, either by grants and scholarships or by in genuity and hard work, were able to complete trips that gave them deeper insight and lasting under standing into the world around them.

M. (BUCK) SCHIWETZ Most Texans remember Dutch Hohn primarily as one of the first gridiron heroes of Texas A&M, but his intensley powerful life has been a record of social accomplishments that dwarf in importance his exploits in “primitive football.” This Book is the Unvarnished Story of his life Get your copy today THE EXCHANGE STORE Serving Texas Aggies Since 1907 Development Fund Sure Of Success A&M Development Fund con tributions reached $4,300 Thurs day with about half the gifts from Aggie former students in Brazos County yet to be count ed.

THE BATTALION Friday, October 4, 1963 Page 3 Nutrition Conference Aims For Better Animal Diets About 250nutritionists, bio chemists and feed manunfacturers gathered at the Texas Nutrition Conference on the A&M campus, Wednesday through Friday to hear 33 speakers tell of new or improved methods of nutrition on animals and poultry. The conference was a joint un dertaking of the Department of Animal Husbandry, Biochemistry, and Nutrition, Dairy Science and Poultry Science. H. L. German of Texas Farm Products spoke Wednesday on the need for supplementary feeding of Vitamin A to cattle. German cited cases in which cattle grazed improved pastures and yet showed improved performance when inject ed with Vitamin A. He said that breeding performance would be im proved by increasing the number of conceptions and also by boosting the number of viable, healthy calves. ANOTHER speaker, Damon V. Catron, vice-president for research and development with Walnut Groves Products Company said any swine program from the feed mak er’s standpoint should be aimed at the final product—pork. It should be the goal of every swine feed maker to design a feeding program based upon latest technology, which he can properly manufacture, dis tribute and sell. Thursday, Dr. J. H. Quisenberry, head of the Poultry Science Depart ment, discussed the role which genetics plays in poultry produc tion. He described experiments which have shown that body weight, egg production, and meta bolic efficiency are heritable. OF BIRDS experimented with, 50 per cent of the variations in feed consumption could be account ed for by difference in body size, 31 per cent by difference in rate of lay, and 7 to 8 per cent by in herent difference in metabolic ef ficiency between strains. Quisenberry said that the phy siologist who bridges the gap be tween the geneticist and the nutri tionist will play a key role in the solution of many programs facing the poultry industry today. “Sports Car Center” Dealers for Renault-Peugeot & British Motor Cars Sales—Parts—Service We Service All Foreign Cars” 422 Texas Ave. TA 2-4517 The Church..For a Fuller Life..For You..

It will probably never be completely answered to his satisfaction until he sees and believes the .evidence of man’s importance to God: Thou hast made him a little loiver than the angels. It remained for Jesus Christ, to reveal the love of God. Sunday — World Communion Day — Christians will unite in the sacrament which is their richest experience of the glory and honor God has given. The world over, men will rejoice in the Divine Love, that God gave His Son for humanity. Copyright 1963, Keister Advertising Service, Inc..
