Women beware! The Tiger, un-

College, has thrown its full edi
torial weight into a movement to
stop coeds from wasting the valu
able time of Clemson men. Listen
to this: “A good many girls have
the mistaken idea that ‘dates’ are
more appreciative of feminine
charm if they are made to wait.
The Tiger registers its protest. It
will stand up for anyone who just
leaves in disgust and lets that
‘waiting’ date wait.”
THE BATTALION
“IT’S CAPTAIN BILL KENNEDY
NOW,” STATES ARMY AIR CORPS
Captain William L. Kennedy, ex-
Aggie in the air corps at Kelly
Field, Texas, recently received
notification of his promotion to the
grade of captain, with rank from
January 6, 1940.
Captain Kennedy first entered
the service as a flying cadet on
October 25, 1928, when he enter
ed the Air Corps Primary Flying
School; he graduated October 12,
1929, in the bombardment section,
Air Corps Advanced Flying School,
Kelly Field, Texas. He then ac
cepted appointment as a Second
Lieutenant, Air Corps Reserve, on
October 12, 1929 and was on ex
tended active duty as a reserve
officer until February 3, 1930. He
was appointed a second lieutenant
in the regular army on January
6, 1930; held a temporary ap
pointment as first lieutenant from
March 12, 1935 to July 31, 1936,
receiving his permanent appoint
ment in that grade on August 1,
1935.
Captain Kennedy’s home is in
Beaumont, Texas, and he graduat
ed from A. & M. with the degree
of bachelor of science with the
class of 1928. He is also a gradu
ate of the Air Corps Technical
School (Armament Course). He
was assigned to duty at Kelly
Field, Texas, on April 8, 1935,
where he has served successfully
as post armament officer and
range officer, agent finance officer,
commandant of flying cadets, sup
ply officer of the Gulf Weather
Station, flying instructor in the
bombardment section, and his lat
est assignment is chief of section
IV, the ACAFS. He holds areo-
nautical ratings of pilot and com
bat observer.
Airport—
(Continued from page 1)
Captain M. F. Clark of Houston
is expected here this week or the
first of next week to rate the
ground school and inspect the field
for the C. A. A., Mr. T. H. Coffelt
announced.
Dean Gilchrist also stated that
plans were still being considered
for securing additional aviation
equipment and perhaps lights and
lighting equipment.
The new flying field is on a
direct line between Barksdale
Field, Shreveport, Louisiana, and
Randolph and Kelly Fields at San
Antonio, Texas, and as a result
officers of the United States Army
Air Corps are interested in the es
tablishment of an adequate field
in this community. The field can
be used by the Army as an emer
gency landing field for long-dis
tance flights between the two army
posts and can also be used as the
terminal for short cross-country
flights from these ports.
There is some probability that
the equipment on the field at Nav-
asota may be available for the new
field. This equipment is valued
at approximately $40,000.
Students taking the C. A. A.
ground course have described the
course as “just like reading a
novel” and say that it resembles
other college courses only in that
it is held in a school building.
Traveling Aggie—
(Continued from page 1)
they were well advanced in archi

Pompeii also had a MEN ONLY
room. It was in one of the most
elaborate homes and probably the
private room of one of the rich
old evilminded Romans. The walls
were covered with paintings of
couples in all the intimate poses of
the boudoir art, which goes to show
that those ‘just from Paris’ maga
zines that float around in the U.
S. A. weren’t anything new. Also
in this room was a fountain that
at one time stood in the garden
of one of the these homes. It
was a nude statue of a very virile
young man—and I said it was a
fountain, so turn your imagina
tion loose. We believed it authen
tic because there was no extra
charge for entrance to the room.
After leaving Pompeii we made
the famous and beautiful Amalfi
Drive, one of the finest coast
drives—if not the finest—in Eu
rope. The drive is along the moun
tainous coast of the Mediterranean
between Vietri and Positano. As
we weaved along the crooked moun
tain road the wide ravines and
precipitous cliffs all but took our
breath away. The rocky slopes
were covered with grapevines,
olive trees, lemon groves, and
white houses. The deep blue of
the Mediterranean a hundred feet
below added to a scene of inde
scribable beauty. In places the
houses were so thick on the moun
tain side that it appeared to be a
mountain of houses.
We stopped at the Hotel Santa
Caterina in Amalfi for lunch con
sisting mostly of spaghetti and red
wine. We ate on the terrace over
looking the Mediterranean and
were entertained by an Italian or
chestra, mostly by the musician
that contributed to the orchestra
tion by giving a Bronx cheer into
a large earthen jar.
A fountain in the center of the
square of one of the small towns
between Amlfi and Naples attract
ed our attention. It was a statue
of a buxom young lady holding a
breast in each hand and a stream
of water jetting forth from each.
We arrived back at the ship
in time for dinner and sailed just
before dark. As we went out
we passed near the Isle of Capri.
And on to Africa. We landed
at Alexandria Sept. 15, our six
teenth day from New York and
were eager to leave our life of
leisure and get our feet on solid
ground again. We cleared customs
in about two hours and caught a
train for Cairo. We were in the

Nile Valley during most of the
journey and took advantage of the
opportunity to observe the much-
heard-of cultivation of the valley.
And it was very different from
anything that we had ever seen.
The Arabs worked in gangs in
the fields and the only farm imple
ments that we saw were hoe and
shovel. Not once did we spot a
plow, much less a tractor. We
saw everything from bananas to
wheat growing in the valley.
