ROA Dinner—
(Continued from page 1)
Junior members of the R. 0. A.
are cordially invited to attend with
out extra charge provided they are

ant-Colonel 0. E. Beezley.
The banquet sponsored by the

lar banquets being held throughout

al Defense Week, February 12-22
Tickets for the banquet may be
procured at College Station from
the Aggieland Pharmacy, Lip

dance, the faculty was also well
represented.
Dean Gibb Gilchrist was little
short of perfection in the guise
of Sam Houston; head of the Ar
chitecture Department Ernest
Langford was a realistic Saint Si
meon Stylites; Frank G. Anderson
brought a second Daniel Boone to
the dance with a rifle longer than
he is; Ceasar was there—toga and
all—in the shape of Sam Zisman;
O. R. Simpson expertly portrayed
his favorite role of a United States
Marine; and Mr. and Mrs. Pen-
berthy were there as a former
Texas governor and wife.
The list could go on and on . . .
But the main thing is that the
Architects’ Ball gave a regal,
sparkling, and striking send-off to
1940’s dance season.
Col. Christian—
(Continued from page 1)
allow any foreign power to set up
fortifications in this hemisphere
which might endanger American
ideals, customs, and peace.”
Discussing his last point, Colonel
Christian showed the various ways
in which the Americas are doing
all in their power to cooperate
with each other in the maintenance
of peace. In particular he dis
cussed the important Panama
Conference of 1939 and its far-
reaching results.
“What will we do to maintain
neutrality in the present European
crisis?” he asked, and answering
his own question, he declared that.
“I don’t know, but generally the
particular circumstances in each
case that comes up will decide the
issue.”
“The maintenance of neutrality
by the Americas is a difficult prob
lem,” he concluded, “but the Pana
ma Conference was an important
step in insuring the future safety
of the Americas as they are con
stituted today.”
Following his address, consider
able interest was evidenced by the
audience through the many ques
tions asked Colonel Christian in
respect to his subject.
Gladys Swarthout—
(Continued from page 1)
will stay, and her plans for Satur
day, are not definitely known.
College Station is Miss Swarth-
out’s only stop in Texas for the
season except for her performance
at Lubbock.
Miss Swarthout’s program will
be composed of the best-known
classical and semi-classical selec
tions. For her encores she will
sing popular numbers—including
probably some from the four mov
ing pictures she has starred in.
She will be accompanied at the
piano by a Mr. Bridges who is
himself a noted pianist. He will
offer three solos during the inter
mission.
John Rosser, manager of College
Station radio station WTAW,
hopes to arrange for an interview
of Miss Swarthout over the air at
some time during her stay here.
Because she stepped from a side
walk directly into the side of a
passing taxicab, Mrs. Cathrine
Baker was jailed for 30 days in
Bordentown, N. J.
