LIBRARY CAMPUS FROM THE REVIEWING STAND Muster Chairmen, This Is It! A correspondent, huddled with American soldiers in a landing boat awaiting the dawn zero hour off the coast of North Africa, reported that the platoon commander said only to his men, “THIS IS IT.” Behind were the long months of training and preparation; the fu- ture had become the present. The AGGIE would not compare that vital moment in men’s lives with the April 21 Muster of the Aggie Fraternity, but points of similarity do exist. So far as the old, old tradition of Aggie meet- ings each April 21 are concerned, “THIS IS IT,” to borrow a phrase murmured and thought by thou- sands of our military comrades. San Jacinto, the Spanish-Ameri- can War, World War One, Corregi- dor, and now Total War, have been the fires by which this tradition has been started and tempered; tried and found good. From hence- forth it will have a new and deeper meaning, and will exert upon us all a more profound influence and impression. The new spirit and meaning be- hind this April 21 observance de- mands the establishment of a form and meaning to these meetings that has not existed before. Muster Chairmen hold the responsibility for the inauguration of this new element into the April 21 tradition. It will be something new, some- thing surprising, something im- pressive; it will be simple and un- pretentious; it will come from the heart; and it will add something to April 21 that will last through the generations that will follow ours. Muster Chairmen, This Is It! In the Old-Time Tanlac Style Subject: The 1943 Muster of The Texas Aggies. Object: To muster 10,000 men at the same time all over the world in honor of the memory of the heroes of San Jacinto in 1836 and of Corregidor in 1942. Date, Time and Place: April 21, 1943, 7 to 10 P.M., Hilton Hotel Ball Room, Lubbock, Texas. Kind of Meeting: Buffet Dinner, Smoker, Stag, Informal, Inexpen- sive, Social and Inspirational. Program: A Military Secret. Dear Aggie: C. E. “Teddy” Maedgen, Class ’04, General Chairman 1943 Muster Committee of the Lubbock sector has requested his “dog robber” to furnish you with the above General Orders, Failure to answer the roll call will automatically cancel your gas, rubber, tin can and meat ra- tion books. Kindly peruse the enclosed Ros- ter of A. & M. men in this vicinity, and if we have missed the name of any Aggie who has been to A. & M. long enough to buy an A. & M. belt or to digest one of Sbisa’s light lunches consider it your boun- den duty to advise him of the 1943 Muster. Let’s put the MUST in the Muster. Agriculturally and Mechanically yours, W. T. “Tanlac” Strange, 21, 702 Main St., Lubbock, Tex. Straight Talk From a Hot Front Middle East Front, March, 1943 Dear Mac: Thanks for your good letter of December 29, which just arrived a few days ago. It was good to get some news of the old school and I greatly appreciate your taking the time to drop me a line. I have been lucky enough to get a couple of copies of the AGGIE and of course have read every word of them both. In the last few months we had some interesting experiences. May- be some day I will be able to de- scribe some of them and some of the places to you in person. The jaws of the trap are about ready to snap shut. As to where we go from here, it’s anybody’s guess. That will depend a great deal on how much supplies you folks send us. The limiting factor over here all along has not been men, but equipment, to get the job done. The American people, and Congress of course, still don’t seem to real- ize that this is not an old-fash- ioned war of massed manpower, but a streamlined modern battle of production and supply. They're still kidding themselves along about a ten-million man army in 1943, and all the while there is an increasing shortage of labor in the factories and on the farms back home. Far better to keep them back there to produce and mana- facture and transport equipment to us that are over here, and we’ll get the job done. Stalin has been right all along when he said: “Give us tanks, planes and guns”’—we have the men. Maybe the censor will hang me for saying all this but I am only using the democratic privilege of free speech we are over here fight- ing to preserve. What you and others need is to get these facts straight from the fighting front so that you can help influence the immediate trend of events back home and alleviate some of the critical manpower shortage fast developing; particularly on the farms, Please don’t get the impression that - we are downhearted. Far from it! We just get a little bit peeved and disgusted sometimes when we have to do without such badly-needed equipment which causes delays and loss of time and lives. Otherwise, we are living well, eating good old American food, and are as healthy as can be and feeling tops. We don’t know what a morale problem is because we are busy and we are getting the job done. Keep your chins up, keep the supplies coming, and we will keep Rommel running.

It will be a tribute to the thous- ands of A.&M. men in the armed services, to those who are missing, and to those who will not return. It will be a re- dedication of the minds, the hearts and the strength of ten ‘thousand A.&M. men; to their college, to each other, and Despite that seriousness the Muster will be an inspiring event, evidencing as it will the indomitable spirit, the genuine unselfish comradship, and fraternity. Volunteers Still Called Despite the number of Musters already announced there are scores of additional places where meet- ings should be observed. Volunteers are requested to take over, arrange a Muster in their community and advise the Association office of their plans. Only two Aggies are required and in lonely spots one man may answer the roll call. The ‘size of a Muster is not important. The spirit that brings A. & M. men together this one night of the year is the vital element. War restrictions permit little news of overseas Musters, but it is known that in hundreds of far-away spots: the boys will be gathered together by twos, threes or dozens. A Common Program Suggestions and material for a common program will be sent to each Muster Chairman on record. To the extent of that common pro- gram ten thousand A. & M. men will be united in a common bond of thought and interest on the night of April 21st. Elroy, ’32, APO 449.
