She overdoes her part at times and seems a bit hysterical, but after all, she’s supposed to be a lady in love and who wouldn’t be hysterical in that condition ? Opposite Miss Shearer are two men to complete the triangle. Ro bert Taylor, in a strictly romantic role for a change, is her secretary whom she hires - to keep herself from running around with play boy George Sanders too much. Sanders had a part smaller than his capabilities justify; the picture wouldn’t have been hurt if his part had been more prominent. The Lowdown:—overdone ro mance, but entertaining. Second feature at the Campus is “TWO LATINS FROM MANHAT TAN”, a no-so-hot story of two girls who take the place of two Cuban entertainers. Joan Davis is the night club press agen who gets her two roomates, Jinx Falkenburg and Joan Woodbury, into compli cations as pseudo-Latin Americans. Music in the show includes two catch rhumbas and also “Daddy”. The movie’s triteness and lack of inspiration make if fall from the ranks of the best of entertainers.

By order of Colonel WELTY: JOE E. DAVIS, Captain, Infantry, Assistant Commandant Joint Procurement Committee Makes Plans for Reserve Corps Enlistments The Joint Army-Navy-Marine Corps College Procurement Com mittee has returned to Washington, D. C., from a tour of the country, in which it discussed with educa tional authorities the plan of the armed services to work in close co operation with each other and with the colleges to effect uniform pro cedures for the enlistment of col lege students in the reserves of the Army, Navy and aMrine Corps. The objective of the joint plan is to channel into the armed ser vices a continuous and regulated stream of college-trained man power. Students who enroll in the enlist ed reserves, are actually members of the Army, Navy, or Marine Corps. While they maintain an inactive military status for the time being, they are regarded by the services as cooperating partri- otically in the fulfillment of an important phase of the over-all war effort, for they are being qualified to fill definite needs. Al though it is not contemplated that they be called to active duty un til they have been qualified by their college training, they are subject to call at any time if the exigencies of the war situation de mand it. This is specifically ex plained to them, as well as the fact that any student in the enlisted reserves is subject to call to active duty as an enlisted man if he fails -TOURNAMENT— (Continued From Page 3) 1 CHQ.

From India Great Britain is drawing quite a large amount of war material in the form of manufactured goods; she is reliant ctn India as a Far Eastern base for supplies and as a supply route onto the contintent; she is dependent on Indian ports as vital naval bases for her Far Eastern fleet. Readily we see that the loss .of Indian cooperation by only the slightest degree is the last thought in England’s mind. If India were cut loose tomorrow there would immediately be a great amount of readjustment, juggling, and adopting of ideas in relation to everything under the sun. It would be infinitely worse than the disruption we’ve witnessed by the change of parties in national pal- itics in our own early history. In short, Great Britain with all she’s got at stake can. not possibly al low such a move as Gandhi pro poses. She stands to lose too much. When Gandhi began to flirt with Japan, he piled the last straw on the camel’s back. Today he’s in jail due to the riots and tumul tuous acting of his millions of fol lowers. It’s only right and the only safe thing that Great Britain should fail to let this unjudicious plot gain momentum. to graduate with his class or to meet the standards set by the re spective services for officer mater ial. It was emphasized that the Joint Procurement Committee was set up to obtain a definite number of men each year possessing the ne cessary qualifications for specific military and naval duties, and therefore the plan goes only as far the actual needs of the services demand. Futhermore, the needs of war industries for men with cer tain types of training must be tak en into consideration. Implementing furthur the co operation of the Army and the Navy in the recruiting of reserve manpower at colleges, arrange ments have been made for the es tablishment of nine joint Army- Navy-Marine Corps Boards, which will visit all accredited colleges. The districts covered by those Boards correspond to the area of the nine Army Service Commands. While the Naval Districts do not correspond with these, the Navy and Marine Corps have designated officers to work with the Service Commands. Each hoard will con sist of five officers, one represent- —KYLE FIELD— (Continued from Page 3) Flanagan, the two high school stars of the North-South classic, along with nine other gridsters in that particular game have desig nated their intentions to enroll at A. & M. next fall. . .
