high jump at the height of 6 feet
5% inches.
Strange as it may seem, Albert
never works out in the high jump,
and only pole vaults about twice
a week. Instead, he spends much
of his time on the tumbling bars
in the gym, and it apparently
gets results.
Leaped High in High Jump
Ricks made his highest leap in
the high jump during his fresh
man year, when he cleared 6 feet
6% inches in the Little Conference
Meet. Last year, as a sophomore,
he jumped 6 feet 6% inches in one
meet. These heights are even more:
remarkable when one considers
the fact that Ricks is only 5 feet
11 inches tall.
Albert still holds the Houston
-city record in the high jump. He
recalls that he got his biggest
thrill out of the first high school
meet he ever entered. In it he
tied for third place in the high
jump with R. B. Bayer, now an
Aggie basketballer. They flipped
for it. Bayer won.
Taking Flight Training
Not only is Ricks air-minded
about jumping, vaulting, and engi
neering, but he is also taking CRT
flight training and plans to get
into the Air Corps soon. He was
the frst of his class to solo this
spring.
Ricks says that Pete Watkins is
the best high jumper that he ever
saw, and at the rate Pete has
been going, there isn’t any reason
for him to change his mind. These
two boys' make up the greatest
“one-two punch” in high jumping
in the nation today.

Lucious Veronica Lake, exciting honey-blonde who scored sensa

as a commedienne in her first starring role, opposite Joel McCrea
in “Sullivans Travels” which opens at the Campus theater tomor

—AIR CORPS—
(Continued From Page 1)
successful prosecution of this war
demands the creation of an air
force second to none on earth, and
this in turn requires the eventual
enlistment as an Aviation Cadet
of every young man who can qual
ify for service with the U. S. Army
Air Forces.
“This need is imperative—the
number of those fitted for this
exacting duty so limited—that
without hesitation the Air Forces
are asking for the cooperation of
every educator in the United
States.
“An earnest attempt 'has been
made to devise a program that will
enable the Air Forces to obtain the
large number of Aviation Cadets
which must be trained every year
until this war is brought to a suc
cessful conclusion, and at the same
time, cause the least possible dis
ruption in the nation’s education
program.”
The Army Air‘Forces Enlisted
Reserve was authorized on April
4, 1942, and for the present is open
to college students who have not
completed their educational train
ing and who wish to continue in
school, and high school graduates
who desire to enter college for one
year.
General Arnold has requested
that colleges and universities ap
point a Faculty Air Force Advisor
to provide a definite contact be
tween the representatives of the
Army and the college personnel.
“This representative,” General
Arnold said, “will be kept fully
informed of plans and changes in
plans, and with him, the repre
sentative of the Army will estab
lish a relationship which will fa
cilitate the exchange of inform
ation and advice. He will aid to
avoid disruption of college activi
ties. and will bring to the Army’s
attention the problems that will
arise because of local conditions.”

tertainment that all will enjoy.
Robert Taylor turns Western
bad man in a big way in “BILLY
THE KID” at Guion Hall today.
The outstanding point in the film’s
favor is the way that Bob plays
the part of the notorious outlaw.
He does it with a sincerity that is
bound to be appreciated.
Although the original Billy the
Kid was none too respectable in
the eyes of the law, the story as
played by Taylor has been coated
over so much that it is hardly rec
ognizable as the same person’s
life history. There is lots of ex
citement and action and the pic
ture is very good.
Espionage on the air waves with
Ilona Massey doing the singing
and George Brent and Basil Rath-
bone doing the chasing as govern
ment agents trying to find out
how the shipments of bombers
from America to Britain are being
intercepted is “INTERNATIONAL
LADY” at the Campus today.
Four Men Awarded
Honors in Activity
Of Ag Engineer Club
Four men received honor awards
for outstanding activities in the
Agricultural Engineering Student
Branch at the annual Spring pic
nic Thursday afternoon of the Ag
ricultural Engineers. The four who
received the citations were J. W.
Autry, reporter of the society;
Gus C. Boesch, vice-president of
the National Student Branch; W.
H. Crump, president of the society,
and E. B. Hudspeth, outstanding
Agricultural Engineer of the year.
Further activities participated in
were attending the Industry Sem
inar, writing articles for various
publications, serving on commit
tees, and attending the National
A.S.A.E. meeting.
These awards are given by the
Society through a. merit system
that was adopted at the first of
this semester and is to be a con
tinuous activity of the society from
year to year. This merit system
was adopted in order to give the
oujtstanding members their due
credit and at the same time en
courage greater interest and par
ticipation by the underclassmen.
