Graduation day marks the end of 27 weeks thorough, intensive flight training for this record class of the Gulf Coast Training Center, which includes the center one-third of the United States. As the in signia are pinned on the young flyers, miniature wings will be mailed to “honorary members” of the class—the mothers and girl friends of the graduates back home.

Football practice starts September 5 here. Norton and his aides will have double duty to perform and they’ll have to perform that fast. . .while other colleges in the conference are having their charges work out on a two-a-day schedule, Coach Norton will have to be satisfied with conditioning his boys but once a day primarily because the boys do have to go to school. . . So in stead of taking everything syste matically with plenty of time to spare, Norton will have bunch up all his work for he won’t have but three weeks to get his Aggies set for a rough and tough football grind. . . —ME ANDERIN GS— (Continued From Page 2) weeks. “The grass always looks greener on the other side.” Do you know what I mean? THIRTY-SECOND NOTES Some of the Big Name Bands in Texas who are playing below the Mason-Bixou Line for their last time until after the duration are Jan Savitt playing in Fort Worth, Herbie Kay playing in Dallas, Jack Teagarden playing in Hous ton, Del Courtney playing in Dal las and Charlie Fisk, whi is now touring the state. Current plans call for the Bar- yard Frolic to be held September the fifth in The Grove. This seems to have been the only Saturday night left open on the Fall Social Calender, and it will also break up the monotony of the Juke Box Proms and Regimental Balls that are to follow. Voting from this county for the Fitch Bandwagon seems^to be ap proaching the 10,000 mark. Three orders of ballots have been receiv ed for the various drug stores here and in Bryan, but votes are still needed in the northern part of the state. All of the Bands competing in the contest afe from Dallas except George McCullough and the Aggieland. Me is from Ft. Worth and happens to be director of the staff orchestra of the Tex as State Network. Incidentally, throughout the contest the Aggie land has not only been backed by Aggies on the campus, but by Ex- Aggies, Mothers Clubs, and Aggie supporters all over the state. They are the salt of the earth, believe me. Don’t be surprised if Herbie Kay should show up down here in the near future. He is now playing at the Plantation in Dallas. To end this meandering in a pa triotic tone let me leave this with you— You can give jitterbugs one great big kick, If you’ll just play ’em simple, hot lick, And you can give Hitler one big dose of cramps, If you’ll just lick up those War Bonds and Stamps! (It gets worse every time I read it) only one part of the lethal Air Force Combat team. Throughout the year-round schedule navigators, bombardiers and gunners are also being graduated and receiving wings to mark their actual com mencement of active flying duty. With the pilot, these men com plete the working force of the warplane. The navigator plots the course of the ship, the bombardier plots the course of the bomb and the gunner protects the entire team from the fire of enemy craft. —INTRAMURALS— (Continued From Page 3) B.

Both clubs garnered four hits. The Aggie Cleaners lost another game by a one run margin and this time the winner was Lip scomb’s Pharmacy who advanced to a second place tie as Loupot’s fell before the Campus Cleaners. The Pharmacy boys went to work early and scored four runs in the very first inning on hits by Sims, At kins, Maroney, and Selman. The Aggie Cleaners came back to score two tallies in the third and added one more run in the fourth inning. In the fifth inning Lipscomb’s cros sed the plate once more as Smith gained first base on an error and advanced to third from where he scored as Maroney flied to the out field. In the sixth the Aggie Clean ers tied up the ball game as they pushed two tallies across the plate. However, Soup Ogdee won the game in the last half of the sixth with a homerun which broke up the tie and gave Lipscomb’s a 6-5 win and a tie for second place. With Willie Zapalac pitching two hit ball and with solid hitting by the rest of the team the Campus Theatre gained and 8-0 triumph over Madeley’s Pharmacy. Back, Glass, and Westbrook led the Theatre hitters with two blows a piece. Champion and Reed collect ed the two blows that Madeley’s garnered off Zapalac’s pitching. Holick’s Cleaners went on a hit ting rampage and collected seven teen hits in their 16-4 win over the profs. Every Holick player came through with at least one hit with Schiff collecting a home- run. The profs were held to six hits by Day the Holick twirler. Batt, Activities Offices Move To New Location Fri Friday morning the Battalion office and the Student Activities offices will be moved to the base ment of the Administration build ing, and will occupy the offices vacated by the Department of Publicity and Information, which have already taken new offices on the third floor of the Administra tion building. Also moving to the third floor of the Administration building is “the Extension Publications depart ment. Business Manager E. N. Holmgreen will move his offices in to this space next Tuesday. It was learned that radio station WTAW will move from their pres ent location in the YMCA to a new location on the third floor of the Administration building. About $2,700 worth of new broadcasting equipment has been ordered so that it will be the most modern in every respect. According to Dean F. C. Bolton, these moves are being made so that the various departments will have more room than they have at present and also to make them more convenient to the various of fices surrounding them. In the case of the moving of the WTAW stud io, it is for better offices, more room, and greater quiet. —WAR SKILLS— (Continued From Page 1) graduated from high school in the Upper half of his class, and have done has major work in mathe matics. The curriculum covers testing and inspection of metallic mater ials and finished products, ele mentary metallurgy, and testing and inspection of general construc tion materials. Previous graduates of the course have been placed in aircraft and ordnance plants and with various government agencies at salaries ranging from $100 to $150 monthly. Advanced Engineering Drawing requires graduation from high school with two years of mathe matics and at least one semester of drawing.

THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 20, 1942 Fish, Game Club Feast Made Colorful By Musical Members When the University of Utah graduates its mining school class there are no soft-palmed sisses that never have been down in the “dig- gins”. The fact that you can see students in hardrock hats, sweat- soaked shirts and dirty overalls is proof. The school maintains its own practice mines. The President of a girls’ college in Georgia has ruled the students must not smoke on the campus. We are told he fears they might set fire to some of the old tradi tions. Juke Box Prom Saturday . . . 35c Members of the Fish and Game club enjoyed a watermelon feast in the backyard of Dr. W. P. Tay lor, head of the Wildlife Depart ment, last Monday night.
