The two murals flanking the en trance to the research reading room of the library represent the agri cultural and mechanical sides of the college. The first student publication was The Journal, which appeared only once during the year 1893. “Nothing in recent years has more graphically called attention to the seriousness of the American dental health problem than the present defense crisis,” said Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health Offi cer. “The figures of the National Draft Board show that dental de fects rank first as cause for re jection of draftees. Nineteen and one-half per cent of young men examined at army induction centers are rejected because of dental de fects. “These figures reveal the inade quacy of our dental health pro grams during the past generation and the public’s inertia toward this vital phase of health. If this problem of dental health is to be solved, it must be done as its source, which is the child. “From surveys made by the United States Public Health Ser vice, of two million school chil dren throughout the United States, it is estimated that ap proximately ninety per cent of our elementary school population are in need of dental care. To solve this problem the public must be aroused to the gravity of the status of dental ehalth and its ef fect on general health. This should be accompanied by an intelligent effective dental health program in our schools, impressing both child and parent with the import ance of dental health. “Since the health of the commu nity is a community problem, the aid of all civic and welfare organ izations in the community should be enlisted to carry out the pro gram of dental health.

Maybe there is something to thank Adolf H. and his playmates for, after all. This fall, for the first time since John W. (Bet a Millon) Gates founded the school in 1909, Port Arthur (Texas) col lege is permitting co-eds to attend classes barelegged. Because of government-confiscat ed silk supplies, college authori ties decided to rescind the tradi tional ruling that campus legs must be covered. Incidentally, co-eds In the “Shed Silk for Uncle Sam club at the University of Minnesota, believe theirs was the first of its kind to be organized. Purpose of the club is to convince campus women that the army needs parachutes worse than girls need silk stock ings. The SSUSC’s nine “charter martyrs” have pledged themselves to “get along with bare legs and, if necessary, go barelegged in the interests of defense.” 7 Start The Term Off Right IF YOU HAVE NOT PURCHASED THE FOLLOWING ITEMS COME BY AND LET US HELP YOU COVERALLS STETSON HATS SHIRTS SLACKS REGULATION SHOES TIES HAT CORDS DRAWING INSTRUMENTS DRAWING BOARDS NOTEBOOKS BOOKS Ut' COLLAR ORNAMENTS STATIONERY THE EXCHANGE STORE “AN AGGIE INSTITUTION” -7 I m r y% TAKE THOSE BEARKATS OLD ARMT! > LUKE’S GROCERY BLACK’S PHARMACY J.
