T oday’s report from the R egistrars office confirms the early indications th a t the registration for the rest of this year ex­ ceeds any previous attendance at a long term session of the University. We are glad to see the students coming back and welcome the many newcomers as well. We would like to meet every one of the new students p er­ sonally and get acquainted with them and their individual tastes, aspirations and qualities. However, for the old stu­ dents, and the University itself, we do welcome the newcomers, and w ant to let them know t h a t they are free to call on any old tim er if they can at any time help them out. CLASS ORGANIZATION. No class in the University has yet been organized for the year. No officers have been elected. No plans for social gatherings, of class accomplishments have yet been made. We hope that representative students of each class will start the meetings and get the various classes organized right away. THE SOLDIERS’ RETURN. I he war is over and with characteristic Americanism Var­ sity’s students who entered the service in the midst of their col­ lege careers are returning to complete their work, as soon as they are released from their various military duties. A few entered the University before the close of school last fall, but many more are back with us at the beginning of this winter term. Others will come in during the year, and as soon as our men overseas in the Ninetieth and Thirty-sixth Divisions are allowed to return practically all should be back in the harness by this next fall. These men have had many experiences, they have travelled in various parts of this country, in England, France and Italy, and their service in the army has not been an educational loss as they have been constantly trained, but they have realized the necessity of completing their University work and securing their diplomas before entering into their respective fields of life work. Many will bear with them scars of battle, some will return crippled, every one will be considerably changed. The process of readjustment wil not be slow, however, and these men will turn the same energy into their work here in the University th at they have been displaying in their military training and fighting. Their example should serve to stimulate the rest of us to added activity and interest in our work, and it is our d u t y to enter into the work of the rest of this session with pep and ardor so that the University will be back to its old standard by next fall. THE LEGISLATURE WILL MEET. The thirty-sixth legislature of the State of Texas will soon meet to take up the work of law-making for the next biennium, includ­ ing the passing of appropriations for the support of the various branches of the state government for the next two years. An in­ teresting report of the work of the University during the past two years has been prepared by the Board of Regents, and sent out to the members of the House of Representatives and Senate and to Governor Hobby. The report shows what has been ac­ complished with the last appropriation, and gives the proposed budget of expenditures for the coming years. The various state legislatures in the past have been very liberal in their appropriations of state funds for the support of the Uni­ versity, and we believe that the achievements that have been made and the product in good citizens that have been sent out to all sections of the State to take their places of service has amply justified every cent which has thus far been expended. I he legislature should carefully go over this budget as it should do every proposed expenditure, and should then appropriate suffi­ cient funds so that the University can move forward with ever increasing strides until its sphere of influence and benefit reaches out into all sections of the State. M a r g u e r i t e M eyer. is Miss Meyer the chairman of the Woman s Council for this year. She is also vice-president of Pres­ ent Day Society, pre>ident of Me­ norah, a member of the Sidney Lan­ ier Literary Society, and is on the Inter Council of Cap and Gown. U D D E N W I S H E S R ECORDS B u r e a u o f E c o n o m ic G eo lo g y W a n t* to S e c u r e I n f o r m a t i o n on M in ­ e r a l C o n t e n t s of T e x a s (Alberto G. Garcia.) It is earnestly desired by Dr. J. A. Udden. director of the bureau of eco­ nomic geology and technology of the University of Texas, that records be kept of the holes that are being drilled j in search of oil in various parts of! If these logs of the strata ! the State. the drills pass are through which faithfully kept much light upon the possible mineral contents of Texas may be obtained. The fact that pros­ pect oil wells are being drilled in nearly all the counties of West Texas leads to the possibility that valuable in other mineral may be discovered these holes, even though oil is not It is the theory of brought to light. large potash that many geologists beds underlie parts of West Texas. The only way that it will be known whether such beds exist is by keep­ ing samples of the different strata through which the drills pass. In 1916 the Unite I States Govern­ ment sent seven men, experts in their several branches, to Cliffside, twelve miles north of Amarillo, where a per­ manent camp was established, a first class derrick was put up and a com­ plete laboratory established to make exhaustive studies of the salts that might be obtained. Some $25,000 was spent in drilling exploration holes. Experts had agreed that it made lit­ tle difference where these were made I so long as they were within the axis of the basis which runs southward and a little westward from Borden, the Miller ranch and Adraian. The result investigation have not been of this published so far, but it is believed enough has been found to warrant fur­ ther observations. Real potash has been found, but not in workable quan- | tities. An important reason for this non-workability is the fact that there is a deep bed of gravel just above the salt bed in which the potash is found. I1 or the present it is not expected that further explorations will be made by the Government. The laboratory established at Cliffside, however, will J continue to examine cores from any wells that may be sent it. The bu­ reau of economic geology and tech­ nology also has made similar analysis and will continue to make them. In this manner it has been found that a sample of brine obtained from a well dug near San Angelo contained three times as much potash as is ordinarily found in Texas soil WAR RECORDS. Nearly every returned faculty man or student who has just come back from service in the army or navy or in other connec­ tion with the w ar has had interesting experiences. We realize th a t nearly all are much too modest themselves to turn in any information for publication, but we humbly beseech the friends of these men to obtain it and turn it over to The Texan. All of us are proud of the records of these men. We all want to know about their exploits and travels and work. Their work should be known to their friends here in the University.
