Loupot, ’32, made a state ment yesterday which should be of extreme importance to all of next semester’s freshmen as well as all present undergraduates. Loupot presented a plan which will save money for all of the in coming students to a great extent; this plan has already been intro duced to the present student body and has proved to be a great suc cess and should be greatly appre ciated by the incoming freshmen. The new freshmen should not be forced to spend all of their hard earned money on new books and materials and uniforms,” Loupot said. “However, in the past they have been forced to do this be cause they didn’t know the ropes. This needn’t be the case from now on. “Freshmen should be sure before they buy. They want to know that they have the right books. By the time they go to class, though, and get back to my store, the second hand books which were available at a greatly reduced price are gone.” “My suggestion, a suggestion which the upperclassmen should take back to - their friends who are planning to enter A. & M. in June, is simply this: Instruct the new fish to buy their books and other equipment BEFRE they go to class the first time. If it so hap pens that these books aren’t what are called for by the profs they can exchange them at my store without any loss. I’ll give them exactly what they paid for them at the time of purchase providing they bought the books from me.” “Remember: Trade with Lou, He’s Right With You.” (THIS IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT.) THE BATTALION -THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 16, 1942 Library Acquires Prized Editions of Raymond Earl j The Cushing Library at A&M has acquired 676 vol umes of Pearl Reprints, a col lection made during a long period by the late Dr. Ray mond Pearl, and covering many aspects of biology and gen etics. The large collection, which is considered by scientists as one of the outstanding scientific collec tions in the world, was purchased by the Agricultural Experiment Station, a division of A&M, from the executors of Dr. Pearl’s estate. Dr. Pearl was a world-renowed authority on many subjects but is best known for his works in genet ics, population, economic statistics, eugenics anthropology, human in heritance and public health, sani tation and hygiene. Formerly head of the poultry division of the Main Agricultural Experiment Station, Orono, Maine, he was on the staff of Johns Hop kins University, Baltimore, Md., at the time of his death. Dr. E. P. Humbert, head of the genetics department, worked with Dr. Pearl at the Maine Experi ment Station in 1912-13 and he was instrumental in having Dr. Humbert’s master of science thesis printed abroad where it received widespread circulation. Dr. B. L. Warwick, geneticist in range animal industry, Agricul tural Experiment Station, and Dr. Humbert both were highly pleased that the college has acquired the Pearl collection. “Such an addition to our ref erence books in the library will make it an exeptional source of in formation for scientists of the Southwest. A&M was indeed for tunate in being able to acquire the collection and much thanks is due Dr. Warwick for his work in con summating the purchase of the books,” Dr. Humbert said. “It is invaluable and could not be dupli cated. There is nothing like it any where,” he added. The collection covers many sub jects with the number of volumes as follows: Anatomy, 12 v; Author index, 45 v; Animal genetics, 39v; Biology of death, duration of life, llv; Cytology, 17v; Economic statistics, 47v; Eugenics anthropo logy, human inheritance, 61v; Evo lution 41v; Experimental zoology, entwicklungsmechanik, surgery, growth, 40v; Financial, llv; Hair,. 2v; History of science, 41v; Mar riage and divorce, Iv. Morbidity statistics and general epidemiology, 27v; Mortality sta tistics and pathology, 32v; Natal ity statistics and child welfare, 4v; Physiology, 34v; Plant genet ics, 41v; Population, 33v; Psychol ogy, 13v; Public health, sanita tion and hygiene in general, 23v; Rodent and related literature, 25v; Rodent literature index, 2v; Seed lings, Iv; Sex, 13v; Other statis tics, 7v; and miscellaneous, 61v. Dispatch from Island Tells of “BuN” Moore’s Activites Under Fire The first dispatch to come from the fortress of Corregidor since the fall of Bataan had news of Ag- gieland’s former commandant, Maj. Gen. George F. Moore, who is in command of thej island fort ress. During a lull in activity on Cor regidor, Dean Schedler, who is the Associated Press representative on the island, made an inspection trip with General Moore and his aide, Maj. Robert Brown of Erie, Pa. Schedler had this to say about General Moore: “He has gained the highest respect as a leader. Since the start of the raids he has been oen of the first to tour the bombed areas, passing word to men in gun positions and other vital jobs.” -INTRAMURALS— (Continued from Page 5) B Field Artillery — 17 F Field Artillery — 17 1 Hq. Field Art. — 17 A Engineers — 17 F Engineers — 17 MG Cavalry — 17 Model Airplane Week Set For une 22-27 The week of June 22-27 will be Model Airplane Week, Dean Gibb Gilchrist of the School of Engin eering announced today. During this week instruction periods will be arranged, conferences will be held, and various model plane con tests will be held at College Sta tion and at other points in the State co-operating in the move ment. Dr. Howard W. Barlow, head of department of Aeronautical En gineering, will be the director. The department of industrial educa tion will be in charge of instruc tion. “The present war will be won in the air,” Dean Gilchrist said. “Model airplane builders the na tion over are co-operating with our army and navy in construct ing models and in designs. Model Airplane Week is just another im portant step in A. & M.’s partici pation in the war effort.” The department of aeronautical engineering, completing only its second year, has more than 500 students enrolled. Its progress has been so rapid that college authori ties, backed by the association of former students, have given con siderable impetus to the aeronau tical research center which has been created at College Station, and for which plans of great ex pansion are under way. Details of the week’s activities centering at College Station, with others scheduled for many points in Texas, will be announced later, after co-operating agencies have been brought in, Dean Gilchrist said.

A. “Doc” Lipscomb, ’07, an Aggie-Ex who has been an ardent worker and supporter among Aggies since he was first associated with A. & M. in 1903. “Doc” Lipscomb was born in Franklin, which is in a neighbor ing county, and has lived in and around College Station most of his life. He came to A. & M. in 1903 and started, like every other Ag gie, as a fish. Back in those days there were four dormitories, Ross, Foster, Pfeuffer, and, Austin, and life was entwined among some 500 Aggies, all in the Infantry. Rem iniscing, “Doc” remembered that there was only one Bull, Captain Avery, and that he couldn’t see everything. A real baseball player, “Doc” played baseball here and lettered three years. He played in the Gulf Coast, Southern, and International Leagues and held both infield and outfield positions. An avid sports fan he has at tended all but one Thanksgiving game since his college days. He was too far away to come to the game he missed, which was some 23 years ago. Annually Lipscomb’s StfETHiAK TAXI Company or group banquets up to 100 persons PHONE 2-1501 LA SALLE HOTEL BRYAN, TEXAS Pharmacy presents the captain and the most valuable player of each of the four major sports with awards. This custom is one of the ways in which “Doc” places him self affectionately in and among Aggies of all classes. Truly “Doc” Lipscomb is a real Aggie and has endeared himself in the eyes of Aggies through his deeds of many years of close con nections with them. 3 Bi-Swing BLOUSES $20.00 and up LOUPOT’S TRU-ART Perfect DIAMOND RINGS Highly detailed, stream lined solitaire and one- diamond wedding band ft A to match, in 14 K natu- 'J </• D U ral gold with 18K white gold setting NO MORE GUESSING ABOUT QUALITY...
