FROM THE ha REVIEWING STAND RE-DEPLOYMENT The Editor of the Texas Aggie is well aware that news about A. & M. men thesé days is running far behind their movements. In many cases an item reports a man in Germany, and by the time it is printed he is back home. Re-deploy- ment in the Pacific will double that little problem. For want of a better solution the AGGIE will continue to report the news about A. & M. men as best it can and catch up with them sooner or later. Even news about a man in Ger- — And Aggie News many or the Pacific who is already at home is better than no news at all. Equally difficult is the address problem these days with so many men on the move. YOU can help by advising the’ Association of any moves and in event of confusion send your home or permanent ad- dress. The curse of the address keeping department is an “Incor- rect” address or a “Lost” man. A dozen address changes is prefer- able to one “Lost, strayed or stol- en” name.

It is rather trying for 1914 derelicts to try to com- pete with the War classes in making news. I took my 15 year old daughter and my wife’s 81 year old Uncle on a camping trip to Marfa and the Big Bend last month. Attended a soil conservation dis- trict supervisor’s meeting at Marfa on the 22nd, and then spent a day 50 miles below Alpine looking at Indian ruins. While passing through Alpine, looked up Gibbens who is doing a good job as a land and livestock commission agent. But I’m afraid the old big boy is slipping— or rather his version is. that the horse slipped and fell on his leg, causing a double fracture. He and his boy have a place leased and are running some regis- tered cows and some sheep. It was while working some of this stock that he had this mishap. After six weeks he and the doctor are well pleased with the progress the knitting of the bones is making. “Bully” Irby and his wife spent their vacation out in God’s country. Came from Beaumont to the wide open spaces to be dehydrated. Stopped by here to see us, saw “Tubby” Sparkman in Angelo and had a visit with Gibbens at Alpine. Sparkman is a good example of what the old men of 1914 have to put up with to carry on. The day that Irby visited him, five of his helpers had failed to re- port for work that morning, so he did not feel mch like celebrating with his class- mate. And since Bill Reed up in Sterling City is getting to be such a big ranch oper- ator and such a conscientious slave to his work, old “Bully” could not get him to help him celebrate his vacation either, so he simply came out the Runge ranch and we sat it out and just spread it on. Fred W. “Fritz” Hoepfner down at Corpus Christi is getting to be such a big onion grower that last spring he glutted the market with his crop and thereby demoralized the whole trade. Forgot to mention that Bill Reed finally gave up his job as County Com- missioner after serving 23 years. Hope that this helps some. J. Forrest “Count” Christoval, Texas. 1915 Dr. Guy W.

I don’t want his name or his sacri- fice ever to be forgotten on our campus, or by myself and his other Aggie friends. The Memorial Cen- ter, in my opinion, will be the finest monument we can build to him and the others.” With the A. & M. Silver Taps roll now nearly six hundred the memorial feature of the Student Center grows in its significance and importance to A. & M. men. In addition to its memorial fea- ture, the Center or Union Building, will fill the greatest present need of the College and its student body.

And so, “With Honor To The Past and With Vision For The Fu- ture,” thousands of A. & M. men will join hands again to make Great Dreams come true. First From Berlin T/Sgt. Morris B.
