Students should keep in mind the fact that the rooms are pri marily to be used only as rest and lounging rooms for campus guests. The Y Committee hopes that the students will take pride in their guest lounge and will give them the fullest cooperation in this re spect, since it is only by cooperation between the Y Committee and the students that the lounge can be maintained in a presentable condi tion. Students will be asked to use these rooms only when ac companied by ladies. Profs Inaugurate An Informal Get Together Luncheon A new idea has recently been introduced to this campus. It is the idea that the profs should have an informal get-to-gether a- bout once a week in the form of a fellowship luncheon. Several of these luncheons were held last semester, and they turn ed out to be quite successful. The fellowship luncheons are held every Thursday noon. The attendance in cludes all members of the teach ing staff, experimental station, and extension division staffs. There is no planned program, no speeches, and no business whatsoever. It is merely a get acquainted move on the part of the professors. There is a “gentlemen’s agree ment” among/the profs that they should sit at different tables and with different members at each luncheon. In this way the members of the different departments may become better acquainted. The meals are the same as those served to the students. The directors ex pect an average attendance of be tween 100 and 150 each week. Next Thursday will be the third lunch eon of this school year.

SAMEY-PARK Diamonds Watches Silver Anne Moore— (Continued from page 1) their stateroom and secured their life preservers. “I still don’t know how we did it,” Miss Moore de clared. “That moving around in the pitch-darkness seems more like a dream than anything else.” The two made their way up two flights of stairs and, on reaching the main deck, went directly to their lifeboat station. Every per son had a certain station to re port to, but many people lost their heads and, as a result, there were twice as many people at the boat as it could hold. Getting in the boat caused an even greater con fusion. An error was made in the beginning when the boat was low ered to the water before the pas sengers were aboard. This necessi tated the lowering of a rope lad der and even this broke, but was quickly repaired. The only demonstration of co wardice was shown when a woman with a baby in her arms and an other woman were making their way down the rope ladder into the lifeboat. A man suddenly forced his way to the front and went down the ladder at the same time, passing both of these women and I endangering their lives. Miss Moore pointed out that she stood on deck more than 45 min utes before her turn came to go down the ladder. Then, half-way down the ladder, the boat pulled away, too full to take on more passengers. - The captain’s boat then came ov er and removed those remaining at that station. After pulling away from the boat, it was seen that a- bout thirty men, including Cap tain Cook, still remained on the Athenia. The majority of those in the captain’s boat were therefore transferred to a few partially- filled lifeboats and the remaining survivors were removed from the stricken vessel.

Beasley Will Address Plant Science Seminar At a meeting of the Plant Sci ence Seminar to be held this week Dr. J. O. Beasley will discuss the subject, “The Production of Poly- phloids in Cotton, and Their Value in Breeding Work.” Dr. Beasley returned to A. and M. September 1, after having been away from his alma mater since 1936. During his senior year, 1932, he was one of the winners of the trip to Europe that is given an nually by the Department of Ag ronomy, for a special study of cot ton in foreign countries. He re mained at A. & M. until 1936, and during that period he received the master’s degree, in 1934, and be came assistant agronomist in the Agricultural Experiment Station. He left A. & M. to pursue advanced graduate work at Harvard Uni versity under the direction of the late Dr. E. M. East, one of the most brilliant and renowned biol ogists that America has produced. He received the doctor’s degree from Harvard University in June, 1939, and from that time until his return to the Agricultural Experi ment Station he was working with the Bureau of Plant Industry, Ral eigh, North Carolina. He is now serving the Texas station in the capacity of agronomist. Since Dr. Beasley’s undergraduate days he has been interested in cotton, es pecially in the cytology, genetics, and breeding of the plant. His con tributions in this field are widely recognized. Those who attend this meeting of the seminar may be assured of an instructive and interesting pro gram. Officers for the present year will be elected, also. The seminar will meet in the conference room of the Agricultural Experiment Sta tion Thursday, at 7:30 p. m. All persons interested are invited to attend.
