Musical Meanderings
By BILL MURPHY
The Corps is still talking about
the past glorious weekend. Every
one seems happy and pleased over
the outcome. Bobby Stephens and
L. D. Boone of the Student Ac
tivities report it was one of the
largest crowds ever to attend a
dance on this campus. Franklin’s
and Navle's report the biggest
weekends in history, having to
turn away hundreds of potential
fun-lovers. While Uncle Ed, who
hung out the Standing Room Only
sign at ten o’clock both nights, hacl
to extend his curb service half
way over the C. E. Field. Of course
all hotels, tourist courts, and pri
vate homes were filled to capacity.
In fact, Scalpers were selling
hotel rooms for $5.00 a night.
Yes sir, it will be many weeks
before Aggieland fully recovers
from the past weekend. Incidental
ly, the various Profs over the
campus report that class attend
ance fell 65% over the period of
two days, and the hospital looked
like a Home for Aged Men when
Dorothy Lamour was in town. . . .
I’m still sleepy.
. This correspondent happened
to over-see one of the most amus
ing incidents of the year Satur
day night. Among the birddogs
and sweaters in front of the hand
stand stood one of the daintiest,
cutest, sweetest little chunks of
flesh and bone we have ever had
the pleasure of seeing on the
campus. Some of the fellaws said
he was masculine while the general
concensus was that he must have
been feminine. You know the type.
We see them along about every
Thanksgiving. Anyhow, the sweet
thing made a remark about how
much better Ina’s band was in
comparison with the Aggieland
Orchestra. Simultaneously three
khaki-klad kadets turned, picked
him graciously up, whisked him
out the gate, and on into the dark
ness. At intermission his date was
still looking for him.
Miss Hutton, who without a
doubt possesses one of the finest
chasis ever reviewed in “these
hyar parts,” also boasts one of the
finest guitarists in the business—
Jack Purcell. For the benefit of
the girls . . . the male vocalist was
Stuart Foster, a handsome stack
of beautiful ballads, that really
knew how to put them over.
—DISTRACTIONS—
(Comtinued From Page 2)
Clean dagger.
This is a woman’s picture—the
story of a ballerina dancer who
is loved by three men. The first,
is Conrad Veidt, a retired actor
whom she marries in gratitude
after he makes her famous as a
dancer. The second is a staid and
solid American multi-millionaire
who makes her promise never to
dance again.
She breaks her promise, hut
they are reconciled when their
child is born. The third lover is
the one she really loved but never
married.
The dancing scenes are the best;
dramatic ones are weakest. All in
all its pretty' entertaining with an
out-of-ordinary story that proves
interesting to most viewers.
The Lowdown:—fair production
of a unique story.

Thirty-Second Notes
Among the many visitors Sat
urday night was the former Ag
gieland leader Don Hackney. “Al
bino” you will remember as hav
ing played one of the finest saxes
in the South. . . . Mr. and Mrs. L.
D. Boone were seen in the seething
mass Friday night proudly in
specting “The Grove”. It’s a de
finite achievement and deserves
all of the credit given it.
Curley Brient knows now why
his boys played inspirecl music
Friday. Besides singing the Fitch
Bandwagon Theme Song to them
before the dance, the hoys also had
their one and onlys odmiring them
from the dance floor, WE hope.
To those of you that have been
complaining how small and rough
the dance floor was, let me leave
this thought . . . just be thankful
that you can dodge the stags and
other dancers instead of bombs and
machine-gun bullets.

It’s a long stretch from first
violin to fourth down, but Donald
C. Greason, artist, has sucessfully
bridged the gap.
Greason, whose studies of the
Boston Symphony orchestra won
him fame, has concluded a folio of
paintings and drawings made on
the “playing fields of Harvard.”
Greason sees no incongruity be
tween his choice of subjects.'
Grace and Rhythm, he says, are
as characteristic of football as
they are of playing the viola.
A portable alcoholmeter to be'
used in determining degrees of
drunkenness, invented by two Yale
university scientists, has been ac

lice.

Walter Garth Made
Specialist In
Extension Service
Appointment of Walter Garth,
Jr., of Sanford, Maine, as special
ist in mohair and yrool has been
announced by Director H. H. Wil
liamson of the Texas A. & M. Col
lege Extension Service. He is em
ployed jointly on a full time basis
by the Extension Service and the
Texas Mohair Grading committee.
He will work with W. R. Nisbet,
extension sheep and goat special
ist, toward establishing mohair
grades and assisting growers in
perfecting an action program.
With Nisbet, he will meet with the
grading committee at Rocksprings
on August 7 to lay plans for the
season’s work. Buster Halbert of
Sonora is chairman of the com
mittee.
The angora goat raisers of Tex
as, producers of mohair, for several
seasins have been developing a
program designed to promote grad
ing and marketing of mohair on
Garth to conduct grading in the
fall of 1940, and again in the
spring and fall of 1941, but here
after he will devote his full time
to mohair and wool ma&eting
work.
“Approximately 17,000,000 lbs.
of mohair—mostly grown in Tex
as—normally finds its way into
clothing, upholstery, drapery, car
pets, and other fabrics yearly,”
Nisbet said in indicating the scope
of Garth’s work. “Mohair is a
textile fibre of superior qualities,
and its production should remain
the basis of an important industry
in Texas.
“An aggressive marketing pro
gram is essentail to safeguarding
its present position, as well as to
finding new uses for the fibre.”

versity of Minnesota is a weather

Students of Loyola university of

quit kicking about examinations.
The Rev. R. Jerome Mullin, S.J.,
gave his philosophy class a lone
question for their examinatiom.
They groaned. Then he told them
to consult their text books and
notes, and to use the library for
reference. They felt better. Then
he said, “Hand in your papers in
