Ag Engineers Plan 1949 Barn Dance

The Agricultural Engineering Society will hold its annual spring barn dance Saturday night on the third floor of the Agricultural En­gineering Bufldnfi ! Pat! Henry, club president, announced today.

The machinery will be pushed aside and the room will be decora­ted with hny to aid in producing the bam-like atmosphere. The mu­sic will be by the "finest bands in the land” with selections to please the crowd.

Cold drinks Will be sold by the society. All agricultural engineer­ing students nrb Invited and may bring as many (toasts ns they wish. Tickets may be obtained from Johnnie Word, Char)#* Modisett, John Wallace ami Mark Gordon.

showed the students why the two organizations could never settle their grievances and Join forces. He said that they worked toward the same goal for labor, but that they differed too much in organi- zation and procedure.

Asked about the C.I.O. feeling toward the Taft-Hartley Bill, the labor director launched into the many objections that the CIO has to the bill and the fight that they are putting up to have it repealed. Senator Taft, the Republican most responsible for the measure, re­ceived no little amount of bad time in the expose by Ruttenberg.

When the labor expert mention­ed tK% word “Communism,” he touched some of the “grandsons of the old republic” rather deeply, re­sulting in some pretty fast and furious discussion of the anti-Com- munist affidavit that the Taft- Hartley Biir requires of union members. Ruttenberg maintained that labor has been unjustly sing­led out by the instigators of the bill in the crusade against Com- imtnism. /

Discuss StrikesOther topics touched, sometimes

heatedly, by the labor man and students, were the Allis Chalmers strike, the Marshall Plan, the Gen­eral Motors wage plan, and a dis­cussion on monopolies, both indus­trial and labor.

Although contested rather sav­agely sometimes by some of the students, Ruttenberg was never without an answer. He Is a la­bor expert, and had the time not run out, would have provided many more minutes of argument and entertainment for students, professors, and himself.

Ruttenberg was still hitting every pitch when the bell sounded, and the game wai called on ac­count of darkness. The applause filled the room.

EE Inspection

Group VisitsDallas Plants

\1 \ [Texas’ newest and most

modern electric power plant at Fort Worth was the main stop for 75 electrical engi­neering seniors on a recent inspection trip sponsored by the E. E. Department.

The students, accompanied by seven faculty members including M. C. Hughes, head of the E. E. Department, made a swing through the Dallas-Fort Worth area to in­spect various electrical installa­tions.

The Handley power plant, which is part of the Texas Power and Light Company System, is unique in its construction. Following a new trend, the entire plant is built without overhead covering. Only the huge generators ari complete­ly enclosed, and the quonset hut type coverings on them we re­movable for repair and maintain- ance work.

The' reason for this new build­ing development is to reduce ma­terial costs. It was estimated that a 30 percent savings was the re­sult.

While inspecting the plant, the students were trouted to a barbe­cue bv the T.P.&L, Company.

Other stops on the E. K. ini suectlon trip Included a look through the downtown Dallas underground power conduit ays- lent and a tour through the llaai kell telephone exchange,WBAP-TV, o new television M*.
