REVIEWING STAND
Campus Reporter’s Notebook
J. Cliff Hotard, Head of the Subsistence
Department of the College for several
years before resigning to accept a posi-
tion with the Wyatt Cafeteria Chain in
Dallas and Fort Worth, has returned to
Bryan and will open a modern cafeteria
in that city. His place of business will be
open March 1
Effective with the beginning of this
semester, students may begin the freshman
year in the study of Business and Account-
ing, under the direction of Professor Tho-.
mas W. Leland. Mr. Leland formerly head-
ed the department of Accounting and Sta-
tistics, and is one of the nation’s out-
standing educators in the field of business
and accounting. Heretofore such training
has been carried in three separate depart-
ments—Accounting and Statistics, Agri-
cultural Economics, and Economics. In
the reorganization of the course, this de-
partment has been transferred from the
School of Agriculture to the School of
Arts and Sciences . . . Also opening
for the first time this spring is the new
course in Range and Wild Life Manage-
ment under the direction of Dr. L. A.
Stoddart, Head of the new department.
He eomes to A. & M. from Utah State and
is an outstanding authority on range
development and management. A research
program in the same field will get under-
way in September . . . . Thirty-two-one-
family housing units have been made avail-
able to veterans at Bryan Army Air Field.
Ordnance Gage Laboratory
A new U. S. Army Ordnance Gage Labo-
ratory will be placed on the campus by the
Ordnance Department. The laboratory,
completely air conditioned, will house a
complete assortment of fine precision meas-
uring equipment and gages and will be
available for use in student instruction
in all classes in the shops and laboratories
of the College, and will be available for
use in experimental and research work. It
likewise will be in stand-by readiness for
use by the government for checking field
gages and for instruction of Ordnance
Reserve officers. Should a national emer-
gency arise, the U. S. Army Ordnance De-
partment will assume operation of the
laboratory on control of production of
vital supplies.
The laboratory will he housed adjacent
to the shops of the college’s mechanical
engineering department. These shops are in
process of being extensively expanded with
production machinery secured from govern-
ment surplus stocks, and will provide the
most modern and complete training to
young men who seek their education at

Four of the five A. & M. College pro-
fessors are back on the job after teaching
for seven months at the American Univer-
sity at Biarritz, France, and have re-
sumed teaching Aggies. Only Professor L.

‘clude one for motor vehicle fleet super-
visors, the twenty-eighth annual Texas
Water Works and Sewerage Short School,
‘and the American Bottlers of Carbonated
‘Beverages. The first meeting of the Amer-

held last year with such excellent re-
sults that the national bottlers decided that
such a course should be held annually and
selected A. & M. College as the location
for the course.

Progress of the Suit
The suit of Ewing McLarty, Jr., Gal-
veston, to force the College to admit him
has been postponed to permit McLarty to
include in his suit members of the College
Board of Directors. The suit has been filed
before the District Court at Austin. Mec-
Larty’s application for entrance to the
School of Veterinary Medicine was de-
clined by the College because of unsatis-
factory grades made by McLarty while a
student at the University of Texas.

jod. On hand for the coaching in addi-
tino to Homer Norton are Bill James, Mar-

right now Norton is only counting those
who will be in school for the term start-
ing on February 4.
Off-setting some of the pick ups were
eight gridsters mowed down by scholastic
difficulties at mid-term. Those include Tom
Daniel and Lilliard Hart, both lettermen

January 25, 1946
Manila, P. I,
The sixth Manila Texas A. &
M. Club Banquet was held January
7 in the Manila Hotel with 135 Ag-
gies attending, so you can see that
the old “Alma Mater” is well repre-
sented. There are many other Ag-
gies in the Philippine area who
were unable to attend due to trans-
portation facilities. The previous
meetings have been larger but due
to demobilization of the Army, a
good many are returning to the
states.
The present officers of the club
are Capt. Guy F. Harrison, ’40, Hq.
QM. 1 Base X, APO 358, c/o P.M,,

c/o ‘P. M., San Francisco, Calif,
Secretary and Treasurer.
Guy Harrison presided over the
meeting and gave the history of the
club and its origin. This was fol-
lowed by our traditional yell prac-
tice which brought back many mem-
ories to all the old “Farmers.” 1st
Lt, J. Arnold Shaw, ’40, Dallas;
Capt. Skeen Staley, Dallas; and
1st Lt. Bill “Jitterbug” Henderson,
yell practice. We had a band—how-
ever, nothing like the old Aggie
bands. They had sheet music of all
the old school songs, so we really
had quite a time of it. After yell
practice, the bull really began to
flow for everybody had a tale just
a little taller than the last fellow’s.
Everyone had a grand time!
At present our next meeting is
not definite, but it will be some-
time between the 15th of Febru-
ary and 1st of March. After that,
we will have a definite meeting on
the 21st of April
Incidentally, our show “We've
Never Been Licked” played here in
(in Manila about a month ago to
capacity crowds in the largest thea-
ter in Manila.

coming to be staged on the campus April 19, 20, 21. A. & M. men
not present for the campus Homecoming will be meeting in similar
services throughout the length and breadth of the United Sta
and at scores of overseas points.
: April 21 this year falls on Easter Sunday, a time of deep re-
ligious significance to men of all faiths. On that day it is fitting
that the heroic sacrifices of the
war dead be commemorated. On
that day it is fitting that thanks be offered to God for the contri-
bution of those war dead, and that prayers be said for the comfort
of their families and friends.

President Winters
In announcing the suggestion of the Easter morning memerial
Muster services, Association President Dick Winters, 16, Brady, said,
“The Executive Committee of the Association realizes that in making
this Muster suggestion something very different from our usual A. &
‘M. affairs is proposed. We feel, however, that since April 21 falls on
Easter Sunday, and since every man of us would like to pay deep and
sincere tribute to those seven hundred Gold Star A. & M. men, this
year’s Muster should be one of deep purpose and of religious interest.
It should be the greatest Muster in the 44-year history of that fine
tradition.”
Members of the Executive Committee who approved plans for the
Easter morning Muster are Winters, President; C. M. Gaines, ’12, San
Antonio, Vice President; J. P. Hamblen, ’27, Houston; Tyree L. Bell, ’13,
Dallas; and Rufus Peeples, ’28, Tehuacana. Ministers of Bryan and
College Station and outstanding church laymen assisted in drawing up
plans for the Easter morning memorial services and gave their approval
to the program.

More complete plans for the huge Victory Homecoming, to be held
on the campus April 19, 20, 21, are developing, and it is hoped ean be
announced by March 1. The affair will be institution-wide in its scope.
Local committees are already at work on such items as housing, trans-
portation, meals, financing, program, registration and special services.
Complete announcement of plans will be made as soon as possible. The
Homecoming program will be <losed with the huge Kyle Field memorial
services at 8:30 a. m. on Easter morning, April 21.

cutive Committee of the Association will send each Muster chairman

will not be too big, your invitation might be extended to the public.
4. It must be borne in mind that this year’s Muster is to be a religious
observance. On Easter morning, a time of deep religious signifieanee, it
is fitting that we commemorate the valiant deeds and heroic sacrifices of

ministers and active church laymen are assisting in outlining the commer
program. We hope to have it in your hands before March 15.

Volunteers Requested
Complete success of the April 21 Muster depends upon the assist-
ance of volunteer Muster Chairman at many points, especially over-
seas where A. & M. men are stationed. If no Muster plans are under
way in your locality, YOU are requested to take over, rally the A.
& M. men together, and make arrangements to hold a Muster ob-
servance on Easter morning. You will find, it is believed, your chaplain
or local pastor happy to be of assistance. By all means, and as early
as possible, advise the Ex-Student Association of your plans in order
that they may be announced in “The Texas Aggie”.
