Moore— (Continued from page 3) one half hours by boat from the city of Manila, cosmopolitan me tropolis of the Islands, main sup ply base of our Asiatic Fleet, and farthermost stronghold of the United States far east; and so this Corregidor, this famous “ROCK”, which with its four smaller auxil iary island forts, absolutely com mands the entrance to both Manila and Subic Bays, is truly the “Gi braltar” of the Philippines. Although General Moore is by far the “most important” Aggie on the “ROCK”, he is by no means the only one. First Lieutenant S. D. “Bloody” Bruns, ’34, is Executive Officer of Battery “A” of the fa mous 59th Coast Ai’tillery (Harbor Defense); 1st Lieutenant John B. “Mac” McCIuskey, Jr., ’36, is as signed to the staff of the Regimen tal Commander of the 59th Coast Artillery as Assistant Adjutant. Also assigned to the 59th Coast Artillery are 2nd Lieutenant H. J. “Brig” Schutte, ’39, and 2nd Lieu tenant W. E. “Butch” Lewis, ’39. To the 60th Coast Artillery (Anti- Aircraft) are assigned 1st Lieu tenant James R. “Jimmy” Holmes, ’36, (West Point, ’38), and 2nd Lieutenant Carl E. “Pip” Pipkin, ’40. Indeed it was a “right” proud little group of A. & M. men of the “ROCK” that radioed their greet ings and congratulations to Gener al Moore at sea enroute when the flash came through that he was being sent by the War Department to command the defenses. It might be added, also, that General Moore is among the army’s youngest gen erals. And so it is with resolute confi dence that those from Aggieland who help “man the steel” on Cor regidor stand our “watches at the helm,” but with added satisfac tion and with pride that one of “our own” “stands on the bridge” to “chart the course.” -THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 1941 Arbitration— (Continued from Page 1) or not the clearance between Col lege Station and Bryan is rea sonable.” All major producers who have signed the Government Consent Decree are legally bound to abide by the arbitrator’s decision.

FRI. - SAT. Highlights of the past weekend of festivities carried on by the c ompany of Ross Volunteers as pictured above are traditional functions of the organization which holds its celebrations during the spring hoi idays each year. It is on this account that the holidays are often referred to as the Ross Volunteer holidays. In the top picture are King Jim Gallagher and his Queen Esther Mae Colombo with their royal court. On the left is Princess Rachael Corder with Jean Penberthy, one of the queen’s attendants. On the right is Prince Joe Slicker with Lee Adcock, another of the queen attend ants. Seated before the king is the king’s page, Tom Souter Terrell. Below and to the left is pictured the exhibition drill presented Friday afternoon for the benefit of the various campus visitors. At the lower right is dinner part of the dinner-dance. Identified in the picture are (left to right) Capt. and Mrs. W. S. McCulley, Lieut. Col. and Mrs. James A. Watson, Rachael Corder and Joe Slicker. Dormitories— (Continued from Page 1) area is already completed and con struction will start immediately. Additions to the power plant to take care of the new dormitories and extension of utilities to the new area are provided in the bill. Chief occupant of the office building will be state headquarters of the Agricultural Adjustment Act for Texas. Now housed in a wooden building it was necessary to provide a new building or lose the headquarters. Rental of the building by the AAA will retire the money borrowed for its cons truction. It is possible that other federal agencies may also be brought to the campus with these facilities available. Karowmen— (Continued from Page 5«) nant after a stalemate of a week. Coach Cecil Grigg’s vaunted Rice' Owls are dwelling far in the cellar with one victory and six defeats. They were rated as a definite threat to the Aggies and Long horns at the start of the season, but have wilted away to a crisp. Lack of hitting power is their main weakness, and unless Coach Grigg can solve that trouuble, the Bayou boys will be definitely in the pink. Their pitching has been well above par, but the batters just can’t seem to connect. Ragged fielding was a big cause in their North Texas downfall in which they were plastered by T. C. U. and S.M.U.
