Guardsmen
(Continued from page 1)
“that our military set-up at A. &
M. would make is improbable that
we have many guardsmen.”
Interpretation of the Joint Reso
lution in respect to ordering into
active military service the National
Guard indicates that collegians who
are also Guardsmen will not be
exempt under the exemption noted
above in Section five, article (f).
Section five of the Joint Reso
lution reads, “All laws and parts
of laws in conflict herewith are
hereby suspended to the extent that
they may be in conflict with any
provision hereof.” This( of course,
nullifies the exemption of colle
gians listed in Section five, article
(f) of the Burke-Wadsworth Act.
A. & M. Reaction
Since the passing of the Burke-
Wadsworth Act there has been con
siderable question in the minds of
Aggies as to what their fate would
be. Student reaction has been
strongly opposed to a peace time
draft which would force students
to leave their studies.
However, although the nation’s
collegians are exempted from mil
itary conscription until next July,
they will be required to register
along with other groups. Registra
tion dates will be announced in the
near future. War Department of
ficials have indicated.
The Battalion is asking all mem
bers of the Texas National Guard
who are enrolled at A. & M. to
notify the newspaper in order that
a reasonably accurate accounting
may be made in advance as to how
many cadets the College will lose
in November.
ART AND PHOTOGRAPHY
STAFF MEETING
There will be a called meet
ing of the Art and Photography
departments of The Battalion
to discuss plans for the next
magazine which comes out Oct
ober 2. Old members are to
attend, this meeting if at all
possible, and new members will
be welcomed. The meeting will
be held in room 122 Adminis
tration building immediately af

of programs similar to the Texas
Farm and Home Program now
heard daily over the Texas Quality
Network. These broadcast, featur
ing services rendered to the people
of Texas by A. & M. College,
would be distributed to radio sta
tions throughout the state.
In addition, whenever the Col
lege takes part in any important
broadcast or when prominent speak
ers visit the campus, the recorder
will afford a means of adding a
vivid type of historical document
to the College archives.
Another new piece of equipment
at WTAW is a boom stand to be
used in the presentation of studio
programs. “This may seem a simple
matter,” Rosser said, “but you’d
be surprised now much difference
it makes to a program if you can
put your mike anywhere you want
it.”
The boom stand is expected to
be particularly useful in solving
production problems attendant up
on the broadcast of A. & M.’s por
tion of the Texas School of the
Air. This program will originate
at the College one day a week
and will also be carried over TQN.

Movie Review

them by twisting up his face, but
he insists on running too far in
every direction, and like a be
wildered ham, acts and runs him
self beyond the goal of high class
acting. You will always know what
to expect as Mickey twists and
squirms beyond the bounds of pru
dence and good taste.
The story follows the famous
formula of all the other Hardy
classics. Both Mickey and the Judge
get in some kind of mess and have
to take a trip somewhere to
straighten things out. Celia Parker,
the daughter of the family is also
having boyfriend trouble, but co
incidence of course sends the whole
group to the same place. After ups
and downs and a little fun, things
straighten out and the family re
turns to the little town of Carvel
and Ann Rutherford and the gang.
It’s the same old stuff, dressed up
with different gag lines and twisted
a little tighter, and although Roon
ey is the main show, he overdoes
it sickeningly. Faithful little Judy
Garland gives Rooney her adoring
hero worship in spite of mawkish
tactics.
