It is believed iiere that no educational institution has ever before attempted to publish an annual without the support of advertisements.

Simultaneous with this action of I he Tech publications committee, the position of business manager of the Lagniappe was abolished, since such services will not he needed because no advertisements are to be solicitated. Business duties, such as the collecting from the sale of pages to organizations, will be added to the work of the editor of the book, it was announced. These changes, as recommended by the committee, have been approved by President O. W. Bond.

The plan will be tried as an experiment for a year, and if successful will become a permanent system, it is expected. The committee action is said to have been. prompted by an opinion that advertising in a college annual dees not produce as beneficial results to the as does advertising in regular periodicals such as newspapers. Members of the committee pointed out that most of those who take space in the "ad" section of a do so as a -free-will Sams as they would ontribute "to charity. Advertising revenue for the Tech yearbook has ranged from $600 to $900 annually in the last few yeari it was stated.

By not using advertisements, the book next year will be smaller, equal to the amount of advertisement pases to be eliminated, thus making saving in the cost of publishing the book. There will also be a saving of the business manager's salary, which this year amounts to 25 per cent of the advertising money collected. It is estimated that the loss will probably amount to from $400 to $500. Despite this loss, the committee members believe that a "creditable book" can be published next year. Under the new arrangement, the annual will be financed entirely by a $3 fee paid by the students, and by of pages to various campus organizations.

INFORMATION IS GIVEN HERE Beryl White (above), of Arcadia, a senior in Home Economics at Louisiana Tech, has been awarded a graduate scholarship to Louisiana State University for next year. She was selected by vote of a Tech faculty committee. The scholarship pays the holder $30 a month foi nine months, with exemption from all tuition and university fees except the diploma assessment. No services are icquired cf the student re- one of these scholarships. Miss White's selection was deter- uined largely by her scholastic which is an A minus av- for her junior and senior years, although other factors, such is personality and leadership, were considered in making the award.

FIRE LOSS STATE IN Companies Fall Short of Expense Ratio They Declare Too Low Fire losses in the of LouUi- ma in 1932 totaled or cent of of premiums paid to the fire in- urance companies by all policqhold- 3i-s for the year.

That would make Louisiana business in the past year cost the com- Danies $7,919,540, or $1,482,540 more han they received in premiums for loing business in Louisiana. Dwelling's Unprofitable The loss figures of the various classes of risks he stated 1 showed hat the most unprofitable class was hat of dwellings. Frame dwellings vithin fire protection suffered a fire ass ratio of 108 per cent. Briek- votected dwellings had a loss ratio 89 per cent.

In one of the most important and far-reaching decisions it has yet taken, the executive committee on Tuesday decided to furnish labor free to parishes that are able to produce the material for re-conditioning old dipping vats, or building new ones to make Louisiana for livestock. Since the labor is estimated to be 75 per cent of the cost of this work. I lie Unemployment Relief Com- mitite's policy virtually guarantees the completion of the tick eradication program, for the load to be borne by the parishes will be very light. The decision was reached after a centerence between the Executive Committee with Commissioner ol Agriculture Wilson and members o' the Live Stock Sanitary Board. At the conference it was shown that 11 parishes are eager and to start active tick-eradication wort now.
