EMPLOYMENT—I have a call from
the Agricultural Marketing Administra
tion, U.S.D.A., for some men trained in
marketing or agricultural economics and
who have passed the Junior Professional
Assistant’s civil service examination.
I also have a request from the Nelson
Rockefeller organization for some men
who have had rather extensive practical
experience in agriculture, especially in
the production and packing of fruits and
vegetables, and who can speak Spanish
fluently, to go into Central and South
America. These men will be expected to
practical agricultural operations.

At the seven advanced flying
schools of the Gulf Coast Air
Force Training Center, another
“largest class in history” gradu
ates today and pilots from A. & M.
will receive the silver wings of
the Army Air Force.
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.

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,

And you can give Hitler one big
dose of cramps,
If you’ll just lick up those War
Bonds and Stamps!

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.

tween Daniels and Hejl until the
last inning when Hejl momentarily
lost control and walked Dunn who
a minute later crossed the platter
as Hejl proceeded to uncork three
wild pitches. 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.

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.
Along with the watermelons and
other entertainment was a musical
concert given by five Aggies at
the outing. Members of the or
chestra included Bob Ashire, gui
tar; E. G. Schatzman, banjo; J.
L. Boone, violin; W. F. Ross, violin
and flute; and Otheil Erlund guitar.
Songs that were played included
some of the old time favorites
such as “Tiger Rag”, “St. Louis
Blues”, “El Rancho Grande”, and
many others, mostly of the Spanish
and cowboy variety.
