Aggie Stock Show—
(Continued from page 1)
will later be entered in the larger
shows through the country.
Any student of animal husban
dry is eligible to enter the con
test. He may sign up to groom
and show any type of animal.
From now until time for the con
test, he will individually care for
and groom that animal, and will
show the animal in the contest.
Prizes will be awarded to the best
individual in each class, and win
ners of the various classes will
compete against each other for
the grand prize, a pair of hand
made cowboy boots given by the
Central Boot Company.
Senior members of the Saddle
and Sirloin Club are handling all
the details of the show. Bill Hof
mann is in charge of the cattle
department, including fat steers,
breeding cows and heifers. Pat
Propps has charge of stallions,
mares and fillies. Jesse Barton
has charge of hog entries, and
George Pepper the sheep entries.
In all, 92 animals will be fitted
and shown.
Several of the best-known live
stock breeders and showmen in
Texas are being invited to judge
the different types of animals.
Placings will be made solely on
the grooming and showing which
the animal receives, and not on
the individual merit of that animal.
In addition to the first prize, a
medal will be awarded to the top
entry in each class of livestock.
Three ribbons will be awarded in
cattle and horses, two ribbons each
in hogs and sheep.
U. S. To Exchange
Profs With South
American Schools
One of the way in which the
United States Department of State
is working towards better under
standing between the 21 republics
of North and South America, ac
cording to Dr. S. R. Gammon,
head of the Department of History,
is by effecting the exchange of
professors between the colleges
and universities of the United
States and those of Latin American
countries for periods of several
weeks or months. The State De
partment is working on this plan
through the United States Com
missioner of Education.
As inducements to go to the
Latin American countries, the
American professors are offered
their travelling expenses and their
regular salary. Any difference be
tween their regular salary and
that offered by the school to which
they go will be made up by the
United States Government.
The greatest difficulty in ac
complishing these exchanges is
due to the scarcity of American
professors who can lecture fluent
ly in Spanish, or in Portuguese if
they should go to Brazil. Many
American professors who are other
wise well equipped, can read and
write in Spanish, but are not able

weekly, for Chesterfield.
to lecture in it. The Latin Amer
ican countries, on the other hand,
are well prepared to send profes
sors who speak English fluently
to the United States. Dr. Gam
mon stated that probably no
professor from A. & M. would be
able to use this opportunity to
visit a Latin American country.

COLLEGIATE REVIEW
By Associated Collegiate Press
During the first World War, the
College of the City of New York
was the first college in the nation
to convert its grounds into bar
racks.
When University of Illinois and
Ohio State University players meet
on the gridiron, they battle for pos
session of a wooden turtle trophy.
Yes, football is a hero-worship
ping business—and if you don’t
believe it, listen to this tale from
the midwest’s Lincoln, Nebraska,
where Biff Jones is the big boss
of the University of Nebraska
gridsters:
Said a Lincoln grade-school
teacher: “Name three of the
greatest men in the world.”
Said the bright little boy in the
first row: “Jesus, Thomas Jeffer
son and Biff Jones.”

Graff Ballet—
(Continued from page 1)
dance should be contemporary and
growing, making a significant
comment on the world about us to
day. When representing a period
of the past, it should do so from
a modern view point.”
The young dancers who make up
the company have been working to
gether in Chicago for the past
three years under the direction of
the Graffs, who have blended them
into a strong group without de
tracting from their individual tal
ents, for they are all soloists in
their own right. Dorothy Davies,
Anne Devine, Ethel Sarasohn, John
Kritza, Lorraine DeLara, and Ed
win Gibson have all appeared in
prominent shows throughout the
country.
Among the most successful of
the ballets to be given tonight is
the stirring dance drama “Behind
This Mask” which deals with the
timely theme of dictatorship. It
is seasoned with humor—one scene
is danced to swing music and pokes
fun at the boredom of a king and
queen and saterizes the superfici
ality of a court society. Other
ballets to be danced by the com
pany include “Renaissance,” the
“Singing Earth,” and “Viennese
Fragments,” all of which promise
to be very entertaining. The
“Singing Earth” is a lyrical imag
inative ballet with a catchy musi
cal score written by the promising
young American composer Joseph
Hawes, who is also one of the two
pianists accompaning the entire
program.
The regular Tuesday night show
at the Assembly Hall has been
postponed to Wednesday afternoon
at 3:15 because the Graff Ballet
will be put on at the Assembly
Hall.
Four Ex-Aggies—

in the modern-day planes now in
use throughout the service.
Night flying occupies about five
hours of the 75-hour course of in
struction in the basic stage. Aerial
acrobatics, such as loops, spins,
slow rolls and snap rolls are an
integral part of the curriculum.
Six hours of flying time are de
voted to instrument flying. During
this phase, the flying cadet pilots
his plane with its cockpit complete
ly covered by a cloth hood, many
of the instruments in the cock
pit—more than 50 in number—be
ing used to maintain level flight,
as well as the correct direction.
Of the 75 hours of flying accu
mulated by each cadet in basic
stage, only 25 are dual, that is,
with an instructor in the plane. The
remaining 50 hours are spent solo,
practicing the various maneuvers
taught the embryo pilots.
Upon completion of the basic
stage course December 19, these
flying cadets were transferred
from Randolph Field to Kelly
Field, the Advanced Flying School,
which is also located near San
Antonio. There they are receiving
their final three months of flight
training before being awarded the
coveted set of wings, emblem of a
military pilot. Upon graduation
from Kelly Field, the cadets will
be commissioned as second lieu
tenants in the Air Corps Reserve,
and assigned to flying duty at one
of the various Air Corps fields in
the United States, where they will
take their places in aerial forma
tions alongside the veteran pilots
of the Air Corps.
