NEW FISH
SAVE MONEY BY
L0UP0T PLAN
J. E. 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.”

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.”

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.

Owning and operating Lips

“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

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.
