- Association. expresses FROM THE REVIEWING rl STAND Where Goes The Texas Aggie? TO HOW MANY POSTOFFICES IN TEXAS DOES THE TEXAS AGGIE GO? TO HOW MANY POSTOFFICES OUT OF TEXAS DOES THE TEXAS AGGIE GO? | WHAT TEXAS CITY IS PRESENTLY RECEIVING THE MOST ISSUES? WHAT STATE IN THE UNION DOES NOT RECEIVE THE TEXAS AGGIE? If you can answer the above ques- tions correctly the Editor will be surprised. He was himself sur- prised when a recent analysis of AGGIE mailing for a postal survey breught out some interesting facts. The Texas Aggie goes to 835 separate postoffices in Texas and to 931 postoffices out of the state. These figures do not include over- seas mailing. ; ; There are no states in the Union net receiving the Texas Aggie, al- theugh Vermont keeps that record clear with a single copy. Dallas received 780 copies of the last issue compared with Houston’s 756 and San Antonio’s 420. As ma- ny as the combined are now being mailed to APO’s through San Fran- cisco. The analysis was made of the 13,000 copies of the Aggie now be- ing mailed. Another interesting development was that the Aggie goes to more postoffices in Cali- fornia than it does in Louisiana or Oklahoma or New York, the runner- ups in that respect. A total number of 7,800 copies are mailed in Texas, 3,000 to out-of- state postoffices, 2,000 to APO’s, and 200 to other foreign addresses. Altogether the Aggie goes to ap- proximately 2,000 separate postoffi- ces all over the world. “Report Greatly Exaggerated” —Al Morgan (Editor's Note: In the Silver Taps column of the January 15 “Texas Aggie’ Capt. Isaac A. Morgan, Jr, *40, was listed among the A. & M. men killed in World War II. The repert was in error. The its regret and makes apologies to Capt. Morgan, whose letter follows.) Gentlemen: Just received my January 16 copy of “The Texas Aggie” and feund my name listed among those former Aggies killed in World War IL If IT am a ghost, I am the hap- piest one in Texas, and just had the best Christmas since 1940. 1 visited the campus in Novem- ber and ordered another class ring to replace the one lost while over- seas. Was in very much of a hurry and couldn’t get by to visit your office. I left the States in November, 1941, landed in Java, N. E. I, in January, and was taken prisoner in March, 1942, Later shipped via Singapore to Moulmein, Burma, where we began work on the Moul- mein-Bangkok railroad. Moved to Siam in 1944 and remained there until liberation in August, 1945. Out of 46 months overseas, I spent 41 months as a Japanese P. 0. W. Sorry to see the names of two former “Old Ladies” listed also. To further convince you I am no ghost, please accept enclosed check for The Development Fund. i Not released from the Army as yet but expect to be sometime in May this year. : Thanks, Isaac A. Morgan, Jr, ’40 Capt., A. U. S. 203 Nathan St. Marshall, Texas. Life In a Jap Prison Camp Capt. S. A. Newman, "23, USNR, 2440-16th, St., N. W., Washington, D. C., has been ordered back to To- o where he will be a witness at the trials of the Japanese war lords. Capt. Newman was capture on Guam and imprisoned in the Zentsuji propaganda camp and la- ter ons de to Kawasaki where he was placed in charge. He des- eribes the camp as being in L- shaped barracks, with little or no wash houses and deplorable sani- tary conditions in the mess hall. As many as eight men were placed in a room that measured 12-12 and 8 feet high and they were compelled to sleep on Japanese mats which were infested with bedbugs. Very little food, practically no medical attention or supplies were afford- ed the prisoners, Red Cross pack- ages and packages from home were confiscated by the Japs and letters destroyed. One of the brutalities Capt. New- man had to endure was beating when he was unable to answer i directed to him in Jap- anese. He was given lessons In the Japanese language and beat upon with a sword when he failed to un- derstand the conversation of the Japanese officers. In describing the first big raid of the American bombers on April 14, he says.—“190 B-29’s came over and blew hell out of Kawasa- ki—a city of over a millioh people. d| It was there I saw a miracle—all that was left of Kawasaki was the prison camp with none injured and the Christian church. The fire was intense—a strong wind was blowing down on our camp—about the time it got to us a cyclone occurred, caused by the swift upsweep of air, and it changed the direction of the wind. That gave us time to put out the fires in our barracks and supply house.” When the prisoners learned the war was over, Capt. Newman de- manded the keys to the food store- rooms and forced the Japs to guard the camp from the outside. When the American prisoners were pick- ed up on August 30, only two were on their feet—Capt. Newman and a doctor from the steel mills. Incidentally, Capt. Newman will get the first amphibious plane that is to be built by the Republic Avi- ation Corporation of Rarmingdale, L. I. He plans to return to the Gulf Oil Corp., when he is released from the Navy. From the Campus Reporter’s N otebook Sad touch; the retirement of Col. R J. Dunn, Aggie band director simce the middle twenties and a great favorite with A. & M. stu- dents since that time. He will con- tinae to make his home at College Station . . . . The College Station Kiwanis Club is providing lights for the Consolidated High School football field, located south of the ‘campus. Also under study are lights for Kyle Field when materials are available, with the possibility of playing stronger teams at home during the early season. Proponents believe real crowds would attend early season night games between such teams as the Aggiees and L. 8. U., Tulane, Oklahoma, eac. _. . The College Station State Bank has been chartered and hopes to be in operation soon. Dr. Luther Jones, MS, ’21, of the Agronomy Dept., is President and directors inelude S.

Advanced Reserve Officer Train- ing will be resumed with the new| spring term, following its discon- tinuance since May, 1943. Gradu- ates of the advanced course will again receive reserve commissions, College Station authorities wel- come the return and students in the advance course like the pros- pect of the ROTC pay which has been considerably increased. Total enrollment of around 4,000 is predicted for the spring term starting Feb. 4, with nearly half being returned service men. If apartments on the campus or in Bryan and College Station were available, there would be many more . . . . And again to stop mis- information,Returned service men are NOT required to take further military training or to wear mili- tary uniform, or take the required Physical Ed. . . . . And a bouquet to the service men now in school who are averaging better scholas- tic marks than the younger cadets. They mean business and their grades reflect their maturity. What a Homecoming! Captain and Mrs. W. H. “Bill” Dawson, '42, both suffered and re- joiced on their homecoming visit to A. & M. in January. They were staying at the Aggieland Hotel. When they were ready to leave they found their car missing from the parking lot and no amount o search or checking brought it to light. Right next to where they had parked was an ancient car of the same make for which no one ap- peared to claim for several days. It was assumed by the Dawsons and local peace officers that thieves had stolen the Dawson car, leaving the older one in its place. Several days later a college station resi- dent went to a garage in Bryan to get delivery on his car after ex- tensive repairs which he had or- dered. The car delivered to him was not his, but Dawson’s. The garage bad picked up the wrong car, re- Kned its brakes, ground its valves and otherwise worked it over. Needless to report big Bill was happy, but we haven't learned yet who finally paid for the repairs. Incidentally, the Dawsons were Vvis- iting with Jamie, youngest of the three Dawson brothers and the star of this winter's Aggie basket- ball team. Oldest of the three is Oran “Dooley” Dawson, '32, Agri- cultural representative for one of Houston’s banks. All hail from Crockett.

Camp, ’16 Thomas R. Camp, ’16, consulting sanitary engineer, Boston, Mass., recently received the J. C. Stevens Award, which was established in 1943, for his discussion of a paper entitled “Effect of Turbulence on Sedimentation.” In 1941, Mr. Camp was the winner of the Karl Emil Hilgard Prize for a paper on “La- teral Spillway Channels.” Upon graduation, Mr. Camp be- came associated with the late John . B. Hawley, M. ASCE, and other Texas engineers in municipal en- gineering practice, and with the exception of 18 months service in the U. S. Army retained this association until 1923 when he took postgraduate studies at the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology, receiving the master’s degrees in civil engineering in 1925. From that time until 1928 he engaged in mu- nicipal engineering practice in North Carolina and for the follow- ing year was principal design en- gineer for the late Alexander Pot- ter, M. ASCE, in New York. From 1929 to 1944, Mr. Camp served as associate professor of sanitary en-: gineering at MIT. For the past two years he has given full-time to consulting practice in the field of sanitary engineering with of- fices in Boston. He has done con- siderable research and development work in hydraulics and in sanitary engineering, and has written ex- tensively in these fields. In his college days he was Cap- tain of Co. G, took part in various sports, was Assistant Business Manager of the Architectural Year Book and a distinguished student in '13, ’14, and '15, Mr. Camp’s home address is 33 Copley St., New- ton, Mass. » fit 84 Graduate The largest graduating class in several years, 84 in number, re- ceived degrees at the close of the fall term, February 1. Eight men were awarded the Master's, fifty- three the Bachelor's and twenty- three the degree of Doctor of Vet- erinary Medicine. Ty entieceven of the graduates were enrolled in the School of Agriculture, twenty in the School of Engineering, and six in the School of Arts and Sciences. Aggies Win Second Conference Game Marty Karow’s Texas Aggies won another conference basketball game, taking a thrilling over-time battle against S. M. U. in Dallas, 53 to 49. It was the secend confer- ence win for the Cadets, both a- gainst S. M. U. and apparently doomed the Ponies to the cellar. The Cadets otherwise found the going too rough in recent games against Texas and T. C. U. As the race passed its mid-peint the title hung between Arkansas and Bay- lor, with good prospects of a tie in the final standing. Texas and Rice look next best, then T. C. U,, the Aggies and the Mustangs.

Krueger of San Antonio, through the A. & M. College Development Fund, an award of $500.00 each year to a member of the new senior class at A. & M. is provided. The winner must come from the group of students who have earned a generous portion of their own expenses during their first three years in college. Selection is on the basis of scholastic record and outstanding achievement in other activities during the first three years. The Krueger brothers, both of whom at- tended Texas A. & M., are president and vice-president respectively of the San Antonio Machine & Supply Company. Establish Award for Working Aggies “help the fellow who helps himself” is the new Krueger W. H. KRUEGER & M. College of Texas. Set up by A&M and University Boards Outline Common Program; Aggie Directors Study Veteran Housing; Lower Costs Directors of the College and Re- gents of the University discussed mutual problems in a joint meet- ing of the two boards held at Fort Worth, January 13. Outstanding in the joint program that resulted is the need of the two institutions for authorization of bonds for a building program. The Bonds would be repaid by income from the University-A. & M. permanent fund, Authorization for such a bond issue requires a constitutional amendment which will be sought by the two schools at the next session of the Legislature. Aid Other Colleges ~ At the same time the Boards announced a policy of working hand in glove with Boards of all other of higher education in Texas in their respective building program plans. “We are starting today to carry through to the best of our ability a united effort in behalf of all of the state supported institutions of higher education in Texas,” de- clared Dudley K. Woodward, Chair- man of the University Board of Regents. \ A five-man policy committee was named by the two boards to co- ordinate their efforts. The com- mittee includes Presidents Gil- christ of A. & M. and Dr. T. S. Painter, of the University; Chair- man Woodward of the University Regents; and John W. Newton, 12, of the A. & M. Board. The fifth member will be appointed by the Committee and will not necessarily be a member of either institution. Seek Bluebonnet Plant Meeting at Stephenville prior to the joint session, A. & M. Direc- tors added their weight to the Col- lege’s application for addition to the physical plant of the College of the 18,000 acre Bluebonnet Ord- nance Plant at McGregor. If the College is successful the plant will be made into the nation’s largest research and investigations center. The Board also authorized ap- pointment of a Vice-President of Agriculture. but did not name who would be chosen for that position. Also approval by the Board was the recommendation of the Aca- demic Council of the College to award honorary degrees to five Eradustes are Major Generals, hey are: Andrew D. Bruce, ’16; Percy W. Clarkson, ’15; Roderick R. Allen, ’15; Robert B. Williams, '23; and William D. Old, 24. These will be awarded in a convocation at the Vietory Homecoming April 19-20-21. i For Veteran Housing Housing of married veterans, who wish to be students at A. & M,, also drew attention of the Board. Walton Hall has been converted in- to apartments for married vete- rans and their families. Eighty- eight such students now are living there. Conversion of Hart Hall into 69 similar apartments with cooking facilities and of the American Le- gion project house into 12 such units, a $45,600 job, will be com- pleted in February and March, respectively. The remodeling of 15 other projects to house 60 veterans with families will be completed by April. Two new 125-room dormitories, where married veterans can have one or two rooms, will be ready by Feb. 4. These dormitories will have no cooking facilities but a cafe- teria will be opened in Shisa Hall. President Gilchrist estimated that these facilities will take care of approximately half of the 900 veterans with families who have applications on file. He emphasized, however, that plenty of room remains for stu- dents who aren’t compelled to bring their families to the campus. Room-Board Reduced Increased enrollment enabled the Board to make reduction in dormi- tory rates for regular students from $10.00 to $7.50 a month, medi- cal service fee from $8.00 to $6.00 a semester and board from $1.00 to 90 cents a day. Working Students Get Break Thru $5,000 Senior Scholarship Givento ~~ By Kruegers $5,000.00 to provide an annual $500 scholarship for ten years to ; an outstanding senior of the college, has been given to the Texas A. Development Fund & M. Development Fund by C. C. “Polly” Krueger, '12, and Walter H. Krueger, '08, San Antonio brothers long identified and active in A. & M. affairs. The scholarship is to be given each year to a senior stu- dent who has worked a large part of his way thru school in his pre- ceding years, and will be ‘awarded on the basis of outstanding sehelas- | tic and extra-curricular performance. Gifts to the College and to the Ex-Student Association are mot new experiences to the Kruegers. They made possible in 1928 the pub- lication of the Directory of Former Students by a substantial gift to the Association for that purpose. Both are officials of the San Antonio Machine and Supply Co., “Polly” its president and Walter its Vice President. “Polly” Krueger is a past president of the Ex-Student Association, of the San Antonio A. member of the Board of Directors cently formed Development Fund Board. Walter Krueger studied Mechanical Engineering at & M. Club, and at this time is a of the re- of the Association and played on the football team. “Polly” graduated in Civil Engineering in 1912, was captain of the Ross Volunteers and active in other Cadet instrumental in building their company affairs. Both have been SAMSCO to one of the largest of its kind in the Southwest. rind Ed Wilson, ’30, Pres. Kansas City Club Edward W. Wilson, ’30, was re- cently elected president of the Kan- sas City A, & M. Club. Other new officers include, vice president Chas. H. Koinm, ’13, Cities Serv- ice Gas Co., 47th & Belinder Road, Kansas City, Kan.; secretary and treasurer, T. Lewis Jones, ’23, 324 East 11th Street, Kansas City, Mo. New president Wilson is Stock Foreman for Phillips Petroleum Company, Box 268, at Kansas City, Kansas. Vice President Koinm is Engineer for the Cities Service Gas Company and T. Lewis Jones is Plant Extension Engineer for the Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. President Wilson is also a member of the Board of Directors of the Association at the present time. The Kansas City club meets monthly and invites any A. & M. men in that area to join with them. Any of the above officers can give details of the meetings. Veterinary Alumni Organize to Aid Vet School-Dr. Geo. Burch, President The Veterinary Alumni Associ- ation of Texas A. & M. College was organized at Fort Worth, Texas, on January 14, 1946. The meeting was held during the annual meet- ing of The Texas Veterinary Med- icine Association. The Association was organized to assist in the dev- elopment of the School of Veteri- nary Medicine at Texas A. & M,, and to maintain acquaintance and fellowship among A. & M. veteri- narians. Dr. George Burch, 88, 1911 Eli- zabeth, Wichita Falls, was elected President of the Association, and Dr. Jack Whitehead, ’35, 6617 Syl- van Rd., Houston, was elected Vice President. The Association will be assisted in the maintenance of its records and in its operation by the Associa- tion of Former Students of the College. Officers of the Veterinary group emphasized that this was not a separate organization but a means of developing better work for A&M for the veterinary group. | .

College Outlines Reasons for Denying McLarty Admission Dean Frank C. Bolton, executive viece- president of the Agricurttural and Mecha- nical College of Texas Sunday gave the position of the college in denying ad- mittance to Ewing S. McLarty, Jr., Gal- veston, who has applied to the Supreme Court for permission to file a motion for mandamus. Bolton announced: 1. “The decision to deny the applica- tion for admittance was based solely on the prior scholastic record of the appli- cant in line with the long-established rules covering transfer students of this and other first-class institutions. “Colleges invariably require transfer students to submit their entire academic records, and the applicant voluntarily College Sued : Suit to force College officials te approve his entrance has been filed by E. S. McLarty, Jr., former student of the University of Texas and former Captain in the Army Air Forces. McLarty’s application for admission was turned down on the basis of unsatisfactory scholas- tic work done at the University where he was a student from 1939- 1942. College officials state that Tex- as A. & M. and practically all col- leges and universities require cer- tain scholastic standards from stu- dents desiring to transfer from another institution. The rule has been in effect for many years. Should the courts declare the ruling unconstitutional the College will be happy to change it. Officials point out that the rule was estab- lished in order to prevent deficient students from one institution to continually change to others. The outcome of the suit will be watched with interest. - : i - ‘ ha uk > Pr, Ri Bs A. En TE. Oo presented a transcript of his record at the University of Texas. Long experience has demonstrated that transfer students present unusual prob- Jems, with the result that most institu- tions long ago have established rules which permit the admission only of such trans- fer students as present satisfactory records. “Texas A. & M. College has enforced such a rule for many years, and its legality never before has been ¢hallenged. 2. “Entrance to the veterinary medicine course has not been denied the applicant. Entrance requires one year of preparatory work, at college level. This makes it possi- ble for the applicant to do additional work at the University of Texas—where he states he can be readmitted—without delaying his entrance to the study of vet- erinary medicine. He was assured that if this work is done at the University of Texas he will be admitted to the school of veterinary medicine at Texas A. & M. College upon presentation of a record which meets the college's requirements. 3. “Of the 708 veterans who had been admitted to Jan. 23 as new students for the coming semester beginning Feb. 4, more than one third are transfers from other colleges. 4. “It now seems apparent that the Texas A. & M. College cannot make ade- quate provision for all who seek admission here in the near future. It has become necessary to deny out-of-state applicants admission, without regard to prior scholas- tic record. It seems inevitable that in the near future all admissions may of neces- sity become selective, so far as is legally permissible. 5. “Like all other leading educational institutions a sincere effort is being made by Texas A. & M. College to accommodate all those whose education has been inter- rupted. Men in this category already num- ber more than one half of the prospective student body for the February semester. This ratio is increasing and it is felt that those of this number who meet satisfac- tory scholastic standards should be given the first opportunity to the already limited facilities of the college. “Unless colleges of the nation exercise their responsibility and apply the recog- nized procedure in considering applicants’ prior scholastic records many qualified vet- erans will be unable to obtain the educa- tional benefits to which they are entitled.” Helping The Fellow Whe Has Helped Himself Designed to encourage and as- sist young men of proven ability, the Krueger Award is an annual grant of $500 to a member of the senior class at Texas A. & M. To be eligible for this award, the stu- dent must have earned a g share of his expenses during the first three years in the College. Awards will be made from this group on the basis of schelastic attainment and evidence of leader- Shp or unusual ability in ether ields. ~ Such an award, relieving the stu- dent who has been earning his own way of the necessity for earning his expenses during his semior year, will allow him to devote his full time to finishing his educa- tion properly. In addition, the award will enable its recipient to enter his professional career with- out the handicap of debt, greatly enhancing his possibilities of ad- vancement. : The scholarship will be awarded by a faculty member and will be administered by the Associatien of Former Students. The first re- cipient will be chosen this spring. “Rip” Collins, Pres.
