Annual Fireman’s Training School To Be Held July 20 The annual Fireman’s Training School will be held at Texas A. & M. College July 20-25, Dr. C. C. Hedges, head of the chemistry de partment at the college and di rector of the training school, has announced. Since it was started the school has attracted firemen from all parts of Texas with the result that the improved methods of fire fighting learned have enabled the various city fire departments to reduce an nual fire loss by many millions of dollars and at the same time earn their cities a reduction in the key fire insurance rates. Last year over 600 firemen at tended the course and earned the rate reduction for their cities by attending sectional instruction in all phases of fire fighting and then passing written examination on the work covered during the five-day training period. Outstanding Speakers on fire pre vention and fire fighting will ad dress the various classes and the instructors will be drawn from the training schools of the various large Texas cities Students placed by the Univer sity of Minnesota employment bu reau in the last biennium earned a total of $410,542.99. Singing Cadets— (Continued from Page 1) The special numbers will be a group of Spanish songs by Gustav A. Carlsen, Peru; O. J. Erlund, Houston, Texas; Gabino Fajardo, Peru; Xavier H. Fernandez, Peru; and Miguel A. Soto, Puerto Rico. Other special numbers will be sev eral songs by an octet composed of Berney Martin, Gibb Michalk, Rey nolds Smith, Henry Mass, J. O. Bartlett, L. C. Salm, G. A. Adams, and Lloyd Bailey, and also an ac cordion solo by Pat Patterson of Dallas. The club will end the program with “Away Down South," “God Bless America,” and “Taps.” Boots— (Continued from Page 1) ceremonies. This would allow the seniors the option of three uni forms for all occasions. The commandant understood thtt all seniors were to have either light gray slacks or boots to be worn at drills and ceremonies. No senior would be able to wear O.D. slacks on formal occasions, and would therefore be required to purchase at least one pair of light gray slacks. Under the uniform situation as it has been, seniors were not re quired to purchase any additional part of their uniform if they did not desire boots. Under the plan as understood by the commandant, a senior would be required to pur chase at least one pair light gray slacks for drills and ceremonies. This added expenditure would work a hardship on some of the seniors by requiring the additional pur chase and is therefore not accept able. The added saving of allowing seniors the optional uniforms by wearing O.D. serge slacks to drill and ceremonies would not justify the resulting confusion which such a situation would create, the com mandant stated. The junior class may therefore decide which of the two plans as presented above they desire for next year. The entire situation concerning the uniform was presented by the commandant to a meeting of the sophomore and junior classes Tues day afternoon. In the interests of economy and practicability, the commandant recommended that senior boots be eliminated from the uniform because they are no longer regulation in the army. As a result of that meeting, the two classes met again Thursday to make their decisions on the uni form. The junior class voted solid ly to wear boots in some way with their uniform next year. At the meeting the two classes accepted by a vote of 291 to 511 the second uniform plan as under stood by the committee and pres ented to them. Since this plan was incorrect and impossible, it is necessary that the junior class Preference to Be Given to Seniors Seniors will be given first pref erence in selection of students to speak before their local high schools, Cadet Colonel W. A. Beck er announced yesterday. Further preference will go to students with the highest scholastic records fol lowed by those with the best activ ity records, Becker also disclosed. These preferences will take ef fect only in case of more than one request for the same school. Students desiring to speak be fore their high schools are remind ed that all requests must be in by noon Monday. Those selected will be given ex cused absences for May 2 and 3 or for May 5 and 6. Students visiting high schools more than 250 miles away will be allowed an extra day for traveling. The selection of the students is being handled by the Corps Staff juniors and the completed re quest cards from each regiment should be turned in to them. They are Tom Gillis, W. M. Pena, War ren Ringgold, Lee Rice, George Summerville, Howard Blessington and Jabus Barker. Campus Distractions- (Continued from Page 2) er compelling force behind it; it preaches war and it preaches a moral. Many newsreel shots of the astual occurrances of the era 1916- 1920 are included and give it the atmosphere of the hallowed past. It is worth ging just for curiosity as the film that has been so widely publicized, but it is also well worth seing, because it didn’t receice such publicity for nothing. In a much lighter vein than the thought-provoking film mentioned above, “COMRADE X” is a screw- loose show if there ever was one. It has Hedy Lamarr as a Russian communistic street car conductor with a male name, just so she can hold the job. Even as a street car conductor though, she has a face that would make anyone take notice. Her figure, which she re veals this time more than in any of her previous pictures, is only meet again to make final decisions on the uniform. The classes also voted that some form of raincoat would be regula tion for next year, the color and type to be decided later. Over seas caps to be worn with the dress uniform were decisively rejected. The classes voted that the regu lation army windproof and water proof jacket be made regulation for the corps. Upperclassmen will be permitted to wear their present leather or other jackets until worn out, but the army jacket will be regulation for freshmen next year. Aggies, Bear— (Continued from Page 3) ning. Scoggin and Jeffrey open ed the inning with walks. Buch anan sacrificed, but was safe when Haley threw the ball away. Scoggin scored on the error. Peden then singled sharply to center to score Jeffrey and Buchanan. Bumpers sacrificed, and Rothe fol lowed with a safety to score Peden. Lindsey hit into a double play to end the inning. They added four more tallies in the sixth inning. Jeffrey doubled to left. Buchanan singled to right and went on to second as Casey held on to the ball. Jeffrey was safe at the plate on Peden’s grounder. Buchanan was out in a chase as Bumpers grounded out. Rothe got a bunt single to score Peden. Lindsey was purposely pas sed to fill the bases, and Francis singled to short to score Bump ers. Pugh’s long fly accounted for the fourth run of the inning, with Rothe coming in after the catch. The cadets added their final run in the eighth on a walk, a hit, and an error. Rothe and Jeffrey led the Aggie attack with two hits apiece, while as shapely as one who would ex pect from the fact that it has been so carefully hidden in her previous films. Clark Gable is the foreign cor respondent in Russia who has been sneaking secret reports past the censors. Some of the dumbest things happen before he is caught. One thing to notice in this show is the easy methods of divorce used in Russia. It is really quite con venient. There isn’t a bit of sense in this show. The characters are looney and they act it that way.

Mr. Cole has been interviewing col lege students since January first of this year. During that time he has interviewed more than half of his assignment of sixty-two col leges and universities. He arrived on the campus Thursday night from Texas University and will probab ly be here over the weekend. Miller and Casey accounted for the only safeties off Bumpers and Henderson.
