"Java Is Calling" and Letter
Tell of A g’s Pacific Experience
Officers in Java have been equip
ped with rifles for jungle fighting,
writes First Lieut. Issac Alvin
Morgan, ’40 of the field artillery,
to his parents this week in a let
ter “shot with holes by the shears
of a censor in Washington.”
Mrs. Morgan stated that al
though a week or two ago a trans
pacific phone call from her son
was received in Marshall from her
son with the salutation “Java is
calling” this week his letter, dated
Jan. 24, went through a censor at
Washington, who evidently had a
different idea about any reference
to his whereabouts—any and all
of which was cut out.
“I must tell son to stop writing
on both sides of the page,” Mrs.
Morgan declared, stating that
something snipped out on one side
might snip out something on the
other side that could have been
left in.
“The natives here are quaint and
School of Arts and Science Has
Vital Part in America’s War Effort
Staff of the A. & M. School of Arts and Sciences can justifiably
feel that it has a part in the contribution made by the college in the
training of its technological students along lines of importance in our
war effort, since a major responsibility of the School of Arts and
Sciences is its service to these students, according to Dr. T. D. Brooks,
dean of the School of Arts and Sciences and the Graduate school.
“Efforts to improve the
per
formance of that function is one
for steadily improved adaptation
to the needs of the technological
schools,” Dr. Brooks said. “This
takes the form of better trained
staff, better facilities, and espe
cially better mutual understanding
with faculties of the technological
schools. However, this service to
the student body generally has
been definitely affected in some
important ways by the response to
the war situation.
“The School of Arts and Sciences
reaches all the students in the,
school through one course in Amer
ican Government. Immediately aft
er the attack on Pearl Harbor, the
History Department began plan
ning considerable re-direction of
this course in the effort to make
it contain more information con
cerning the background of the war
and more understanding of the
problems of a wise peace.
“The Physical Education depart
ment has, throughout the year,
been using a one-hour course in
tended for its major students to
meet the needs of those who will
soon be army officers if, as is fre
quently the case, some responsi
bility for directing recreational ac
tivities of troops in camp devolves
upon them.
“A committee is at work confer
ring with other departments that
will be concerned about the possi
bility, suggested by an army medi
cal officer to members of our staff
recently, of acquainting our grad
uates, particularly those in engi
neering who usually have no con
tact with the biological sciences,
with problems of hygiene and san
itation to enable them to cooper
ate more effectively with the med
ical staff when they enter the
army.
“The Physical Education depart
ment also has begun plans to in
crease its service through intra
mural sports and recreation to off
set the staleness which might re
sult from the new year-round pro
gram the college has adopted.
“It is apparent also that the war
is causing many non-technologi-
cal students who formerly would
have attended other institutions to
turn to A. & M. The registration
in the School of Arts and Sciences
for the fall semester showed a
growth of 15 per cent over the pre
ceding year, whereas the growth
for the institution in general was
only about two per cent. The
school has enjoyed a very satis
factory growth for a number of
years, but presumably the concern
for military training now tends to
increase its registration. This
makes it very important that we
make available for these students
appropriate training for civilian
life along with their military train
ing. We are trying to meet this
responsibility as fully as possible.
“The greatest number of these
students seek a general training
for business, which is made possi
ble by enrollment in liberal arts
for major work in economics and
usually for minor work in acount-
ing. Our pre-professional courses
in preparation for medicine and
law serve the next largest groups.
“It is highly important that
we expediate the training of these
groups, particularly those who will
enter medical schools, in order that
they may have an opporotunity
to begin their medical work before
being called to military service.
Show Sunday to Give
Aggies Idea of Actual
Bombing of England
Sunday afternoon at 5:15 in
Guion hall a movie will be shown
on incendiary bombs and their con
trol, a subject which everyone
should have some knowledge of in
preparation for future eventuali
ties.
The film includes “London Can
Take It,” a short shown in this
country to illustrate the experi
ences of the citizenry of London,
England, during the heavy bomb
ings they were subjected to last
fall. The show lasts one hour, and
is free. Everyone on the campus
is urged to attend and profit by
the valuable instruction and ex
perience of those who have actual
ly been under fire.

clever,” Lieut. Morgan wrote,
stating that invitations to “high
society” came frequently.
Drill is held in the morning, but
not in th eevening or night, for it
always rains, he wrote. He said
however, that there was plenty of
room to work inside.
The native vegetation—except
for the palms, the bamboo, and the
cocoanuts which are everywhere—
is much like it is in Texas, he said.
He wrote that he had seen many
of his schoolmates there.
Money is “cheap” and he didn’t
need much of it, and the camp was
so nice one could hardly think of
war, he said.
Stating that he would cable as
often as he was permitted, he said:
“Keep things coming our way—
we’ll da our part out here if you’ll
do yours over there.”

Morgan said they have been look
