grounds, with Marty Karow of the
baseball team taking over the
reins. If Marty has the same coach
ing genius on the basketball team,
as he did on the baseball squad,
then the worries for a successful
cage season will be over. However,
basketball and baseball are as dif
ferent and black and white, so that
argument there would have to go
to the trash pile. In Bill Hender
son, Charlie Stevenson, R. B. Bay
er, Ray Jarrett, Fred Nabors, and
Mike Cokinos, Karow has some
thing to work with, and may even
surprise quite a number of people.
But as things look now, a third or
even fourth ranking in the coming
standings would be a god-send to
the cadets. It has been so long
since an Aggie team has been bas
ketball champ that not even “Cur
ly” Winstead of our Publicity De
partment can remember that fate
ful day.

“I don’t want to spend the
rest of my life in the Army,”
one senior said. “I don’t like
war and I don’t believe in it,
but we’ve got our share of a
job to do and I wish that we
could get going in a hurry.”
From one dormitory room where
a group of seniors were saying-
goodbyes came a widely-felt opin
ion.
“We want an early return to
civilian life. We recognize our
responsibility and are anxious to
take hold of it, but we’d like to
get this thing over with in as few
months or years as possible in or
der that we might return to the
civilian life for which we have been
preparing.”
Like the man on the street, the
new officers thing that this na
tion’s entrance into the conflict is
inevitable and they also think it
will come in a hurry.
So there you have it—the opin
ions of half a thousand young
Army officers in regard to 1941’s
world strife.
They want action, they be-
; lieve firmly in an all out all-
! aid-to-Britain policy, they be
lieve profoundly in Britain’s
ability to win the war when—
but not until—the Uni^gd
States enters the conflict. They
hate Hitlerism with a passion
which knows no bounds, they
like to refer to Mussolini as
Hitler’s stooge, they are par
ticularly bitter where the la
bor strikes are concerned and
even more so as regards un-
American activities, they don’t
like the war but they believe
that it is fast-approaching and
they want to do their part.
They are normal American col
lege graduates who, by their own
admission, are about to be cast in
roles not altogether their own
choosing and, as such, they want
to have a hand in ending the
struggle, thus winning a return to
civilian life for which they have
trained themselves in four years
at college.
They are electrical engineers,
farmers, architects, accountants,
veterinarians and a dozen other
breeds, and they are also men who
have had four years of military
science training.
Their mental outlook is impor
tant and, as a visiting general re
cently put it, “Their opinions are
healthy, especially as viewed in the
interests of the nation’s well
being.”

-THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1941
Fuermann Releases Annual Student Aid
Fund Report; Vast Advances Indicated
The annual report of the A. &
M. Student Aid Fund was present
ed to President T. O. Walton and
the Student Activities committee
yesterday afternoon by Chairman
George Fuermann.
The constitution of the'fund pre
scribes that the chairman, at the
end of each college year, present
an annual report to the president
and the activities committee. Fuer-
mann’s complete report follows:
“Following a three-month period
of organization and approval by
the Executive committee and the
Faculty, the first meeting of the
Student Aid Fund was held Feb
ruary 18. Following this meeting
the committee scheduled regular
meetings to be held the second
Tuesday of each month.
“At these meetings the funds’
policies were established and rou
tine business was handled.
“The cooperation of the cadet
corps in the administration of the
fund was thorough and complete.
Through the medium of The Bat
talion and letters to faculty mem
bers, project house managers, and
organization commanders, the scope
and intent of the fund was explain
ed to the corps in such a way that
every cadet could take advantage
of the fund who was in need of the
assistance for which the fund was
established.
“As stated several times earlier
this year, the prime purpose of the
Student Aid Fund has been to ex
tend financial assistance to cadets
who need physical care and are
otherwise unable to secure the
necessary finances.
“The correct psychology has been
established in the corps that the
fund is in no wise a charity organi
zation. In all cases students ben-
efitting from the fund pay a non-
interest-bearing, non-maturity-date
note and a cadet’s obligation to pay
is based altogether on his ability
to pay.
“At the time notes are signed
the signatories indicate a date at.
-which time they believe they w
be able to pay the note. At that
time they will receive a reminder
of the debt but other than that
cadet will receive no notice of the
obligation. The single, reminder is
in the form of a letter which points
out that by paying the note the
cadet will thus assist other cadets
in need of physical care.
“It is significant that most of
the cases handled in the fund’s
first year of existence were com
paratively small. Only two were
handled by the fund which were
of large financial proportions. This
therefore, indicates that the fund’s
resources are being spread over a
wider area than had originally been
expected.
“Another service of the fund has
been the sending of flowers to the
families of Aggies in which the
death of either the mother, father
or the cadet himself occured. Al
though this plan did not work as
well as expected, changes will be
instituted during the forthcoming
long session which should improve
this aspect of the fund. In all cases
the flowers as sent as a token of
solicitude from the cadet corps.
“By an action taken by the com
mittee at an early meeting, the
fund is not to be active during the
summer months, but only during
the regularly scheduled long session
months.
“The following is the financial
report of the fund’s 1941 activities
through June 3. (For obvious rea
sons, the names of cadets concern
ed are withheld from publication.)
“It should be pointed out that
the various doctors, dentists and
hospitals which took care of the
fund’s patients made prices as low
as possible.
“Thus, as the Student Aid Fund
concludes its first year of exist
ence, it is seen that the scope of
the fund will widen considerably
with each new college year. Begin
ning immediately with the 1941-42
ilff-long session plans will be made to
continue the drive for funds. Of
ficers for the forthcoming long
session will be elected at the first
meeting of the new college year.
“Committeemen who have served
this year include Cadets J. H„
Focke Jr., Tom Gillis, Skeen Sta
ley and Faculty Members Dan Rus
sell, George B. Wilcox and E. L.
Angell. The work which these men
have done is outstanding and with
out them the organization and ad
ministration of the fund would
have been an impossibility.”

halls in the world.
