NATIONAL LETTER WRITING WEEK IS' BEING OBSERVED • f ’ | Oct 2 to ^)ct 6 inclusive has been leaignated as National Latter Writing Weak, according to Mrs. Anna V. Smith, Collage Station peefsstei. All letters dispatched from College will be counted and a report sent to Washington. The students of A, ft M. should be mere careful with their mail Mrs. Smith declared. Every week fully fifty letters and postcard, must be disposed of according to postal regulations because of faulty addresses or no postage.

On the field at San Francisco Saturday, members of the Aggie squad may think they are alone, but such is not the ease. The Santa Clara game will be played at A. ft M. all aftasnoon and far into the night It will ha two hours later at Col lege fetation, than at Frisco when the Agsru K-me tilt begins, but the ■ wiadkar teak away from the campus by students will be poet- poned until the game is over. It always works this way. Am during the game, the cam pus will Hag out from time to time with yells in support of the Aggi.s Those yells can’t well be heard by the players, but Aggies have the attitude that the team knows the school is behind it. So the yelling will go on. WTAW will broadcast the game end it’s possible that some other station may also send the contest over tMiltwave to 6^00 student* wbo will be behind their team.

It doesn’t refer to a western but to a few—very few—Aggies. ^Saturday night at Bryaa there was the usuaT lateffhow at the Palace. ‘And, as usual, there were three or four Aggies there who acted like the “ofte ] per cent” referred to in a recent editorial. Whf-i ! irintf an advertisement, a tfirl in a bath ing suit was shown, these three or four Aggiegxbto- haved in a manner which would not do credit to twelve-year-olds. They screamed and howled, prob ably in an effort to convince the audience that they were “he-men.” i . J ' j » What they actually displayed was a remarkable lack of knowledge of how to conduct one’s self de cently in a public Diace. No doubt they had a great time. They probably got a kick out of it, but THBT 1 WERENT THlONLY PEOPLE IN THE SHOW} AND THE OTHERS DIDN’T LIKE IT A BIT. ' Later, when there, was a Community Sing fea ture on the screen, these same “one percenters” let go with some gosh-awfoj yelling which completely butchered anyone else’* enjoyment of the feature. Now we don’t like movie advertising at all, and we do not particularly care'' for Communin Smys. but other people do like the SinK feature and the "one percent” might grow up enough to act as if they were past the adolescent stage during the ads. Every true Aggie who was in the show was dis gusted.

Boughton, developer, the npmt beautiful part of the com munity, which is recognised for its well developed, systematic land scaping program. College Hills Estate, an .east en trance development, is restricted to types of homes that are thoroughly modern from an airhiteetur.il standpoint. This is ot intended, to imply, however, that only expen sive homes will be permitted. Any type of modern home, from $8,000 up, will be allowed. A modem, air-conditioned thea ters, The Aggie, will be erected in College Hills Estate, facing the campus. In addition, there is to be a business section of 1,400 linear feet. All store fronts will be uni form in design. In an effort to further improve the addition, a aeries of permanent The meetings of the Social Sci ence Seminar will be revived this according to J. J.

The mission of the field artillery is to assiftt the other arms by firing upon those; Urge ta which under the conditions offer the greatest obstacles to'the success of the troops supported. Since it is primarily a supportibg branch, the artillery makes every effort to epn- certrate its fir* on decisive objects at the critical timesi As artillery is vulnerable to at tack at close quarters by Infantry, cavalry, and tanks, this limitation roust be token into’ consideration in order to take full advantage of ItlipOSMbilitiM, Some of the more noteworthy characteristics of field artil lery are the dep* ndiibititjy of its fire under practically eU conditions its ability to deliver S great volume of fltf with forcefjil results, its long rpnge and ability to concen Irate fbre when needed and to sus tain that fire fbr a relatively long period of time, and its ybility to engage or withdraw from Combat by simply opening fire up- n or ceasing firing oh itfe targets The principal IMtothtoMis of the field artillery are Re inability to WWT \\m -Si a cannon s high n have a I than as s *up;>vrting aim, «c* (on other anna for protection,jha vulnerability relative lick lOMng. and its relst lity of tbb heavier i ivr-. cmditiona fltf| by th* ffrld P" and srith a flit trajectory and vetocity.
