The situation could be IuIirhI a great ' deal by some provision for ked drinking' . water in the doifipitories. The present drink ing water in thf dorms is invariably warm and usually serves only to increase the stud ents’ desire for a “good cold drink?’. Large raetad containers Qf ke water such as were formerly placed;in the dorms during the summer short coufae would cer tainly be an excellent method of solving the problem. These containers w ljich. were put to such good uje in former sumihers could ^^"by.jdl means bH- used during' the present one. These corftainers would; m»ke easier studying'and would add much more comfort to life during A. & M ’s summer term I * Salvage Rubber Campaign On June 15 President Room*veil directed that nn all out nation wide salvagf rubber cam paign go into effect for the nqxt two weeks. There need be no. explanation fed* such a campaign. The Rubber shortage in the United States is evident and due to the large quant ities which are needed in the making of war supplies, this ph>btam is acut^. The president has asked that*every cit-. izen who has reclaunable rubi>« r to take it to the nearest filling station vihert it will be bought for the uniform price Of one cent per ; pound. The oil industry will sA-ve ps the col lecting agent for this rubber: They have agreed tp make available the personnel and facilities of thoir companies. tOil company *. trucks will pick up rubber, fnjm filling . stations paying them at the sam$ rate of a penny a poundJ The oil industry will then Ml ill! reclaim- able rubber to tjhe Rubber Reservd Company, a subsidiary of the Reconstrjicti<jn Finance Corporation. Apy profit from th|» sale will be turned over to th^ USO, arfny relief, navy relief, and Red Cross in equal, amounts. There will be no profit to anybody. Here is another opportunity for Aggies to help in the defense of the.inatinn. Almost everyone has .vnme old rubber article which he can contribute to this campaign. Look around your nmm and see if yet# can't find some rubber which may help in the common cause of winning the war. S<Jrap around for old boots and byershoes, tennis ihoes, rub ber gloves, and bathing caps. Ayything which has rubber of Shy kind or frpm ip It can be used. Theh take it to the pear^st filling station where It will be collected and event ually used for tjhe production pf w|ir supplies. I-ikl"" • [ ij Vitataim have made it proper for you to eat the lettuce leaf that decorates your salad plate—eat it lest you appear ignorant of your A, B, C> in foods. It is permissible to cut a head-lettuce salad, the aforementioned lettuce leaf or any thing in a salad that requires cutting; take care that you do not cut more than one portion at a time, and use your fork for cutting as much as possible, but don’t hesi- tate to use your knife when necessary. Serving utensils are pretty important accessories to the salad bowl, and a knowl edge of their proper use will give you confi dence in ydurself. Hie correct implements to be used when serving yourself from a salad bowl are a large fork and large spoon or server. Take t)je spoon in the right hand to lift the salad, using the fork, as a. balancing implement, in the left hand. Vegetables, desserts and meats may be served with the same uten sils, however, with meat the serving fork is used in the right hand and the spoon in the left. Jiever use your own fork or any of your individual pieces of silver to help your self from a serving dish. Individual salads are usually eaten with a salad fork, but when they are served with the main dinner course, they may be eaten with the dinner fork. It is not necessary to pick up and place on your plate any silver you have not needed to use. The one clearing the table will take them away, j (Authority—Social Usage for Moderns) . rr . ■ * I v. i : ' I X. T Penng's Serenade By W. L, PeRbertky \ !

To make the story interesting, an Oriental Prince is included ■ 1 ■ • Musical Meanderings Athletics and war* are very much alike in at least one respect. In athletics we hkve our stars and in wars we have our heroes. In both, he who holds the center of attraction often does so because he has the help of many whose part in the contest, though vi tally important, attracts very little atten tion. I have noticed that many of our great ball carriers, passers and punters looked very ordinary when the third string linemen and blocking backs were in the game. I have heard many of our stars give all the credit for their performances to the fine work of their teammates who were not mentioned in the write-up of the,contest. Very - few of us can be stars and fewer still fcan be heroes, as we generally think of a star or a hero, but I am wondering if after all the real stars or heroes are not those who do their every assignment as it comes along to the best of their ability and take pride in doing every job well regardless of how important it may seem. An individual who does this is, in my opinion, getting the most valuable “hero training" that can be had is the best equipped and qualified to “come through” when an opportunity to star occurs. In the office of Gordon Gay, Assistant Secretary of the Y. M. C.A., there is a little framed saying which reads. “A man can do a lot of good in life if he doesn’t care who gets the credit.” Many of us are so busy trying to find the spectacular thing to do that we lose interest in the very fundamental and important thing that we might.be do ing at the time. There isn’t much glamour or glory to being a guard on a football team or a mem ber of the ground crew of a bomber but both are very vital to success in their respective fields and without them there would be no , stars or heroes. s: By BILL Ml RPHY Those of you who hsVt been waiting word concerning t le new outdoor dance paviliod wi I have to wait a little longer-tfor official news, but sources front arc nd the Student Activities office fell me that the plans have deflniufy been approved and that the' re- should be finished by igid The Aggifland Orcehftra in’ " the Fitch Summer on, but it seems all. is unless the Twelfth Mfn +t, be hind the boys.

Aji annual volpmej giving in shortened for4 the ten beat plfys of the in. f Iway “War, the supreme crisis in the life of a na tion. inevitably highlights the expression of patriotism which otherwise is often taken more or less for granted in the easier days of peace. Thus from the present emergency. Francis Scott Key’s words of the national anthem derive a new poignancy for Ameri cans. Under such circumstances it is far easier to appreciate the emotion under which Key composed his verses during the siege of Fort McHenry, Baltimore, in 1814. It was upon thi* success of its defense that the fate of Baltibore depended. When ‘by the dawn's early light’ Key ^found confirmation for his hopes, he was inspired to write the verses that have come down to us as the highest ex pressing of American patriotism. Most significant today, however, is the final stanza with its words which Key set down, in his feeling of relief after his night of tension, for the inspiration of future gen erations of his countrymen. ‘Praise the pow er that hath made and preserved us as a na tion !’ he wrote, and Americans under stress now echo that praise with more fervor, per haps, than they have for some decades. In the final couplet, moreover, they find them selves at one with the author in his convic tion of 100 years ago that, fighting for a just cause and trusting in Divine Providence, *the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave*.” Dr. C Wilttam Vogel, University of (incinnati historian, urges restudy of The Star Spangled Banner” in the light of America’s current conflict with the Axis.
