tops as an actress.
“Major Barbara” is the story of
a Salvation 'Army girl who loses
her ideals and then finds them
again. Its mostly words with little
action, a picture of the struggle
between the spiritual and the ma
terial way of life.
The^Lowdown:— amoosing and
confoosing, chiefly the latter.
Henry Fonda, Don Ameche and
Lynn Bari are the magnificents
in “THE MAGNIEICENT DOPE”,
a romatic comedy. As might be
expected, Henry Fonda plays the
part of the “dope”, and, as it
turns out, he proves himself to be
not such a dope after all when he
ties in to Don Ameche.
Fonda is a country hick who
goes to the big city and has Don
Ameche and Lynn Bari take him
over with a fake proposition of
making him a successful business
man. Fonda’s seemingly shy and
innocent ways catch Ameche un
awares and, to top it all, Lynn
Bari falls for the magnificent
dope and back they go to the coun
try. No lavishing production this,
but it boasts a good cast and some
funny incidents that should-prove
entertaining to everyone.

versus city slicker.

easiness and Miss Bari’s understandable complacence.
—MARINES—
(Continued From Page 1)
In the ROC, men study naval
law, topography, camouflage, com
bat intelligence, aviation, artillery,
communications, anti-aircraft de
fense and combat principles of
tanks, infantry weapons, rifle
company, platoon and squad. They
learn about mess management,
post exchange work, company ad
ministration, terrain appreciation,
aerial photographs and landing
operations.-
In al these and other subjects,
class work precedes field problems
and work on the actual terrain.
The ground on selected sites is
studied for the best infantry loca
tions, for machine gun emplace
ments or mortar holes, for locat
ing anti-mechanized defenses and
guarding bivouacs against air
attack. Each solution is pointed out
in the field with tests in every
subject studied.
The battalion travels an hour’s
ride for one week to Manassas to
view historic Civil War terrain
and to relieve some of the prob
lems that confronted Lee and
Stonewall Jackson and the attack
ing Union generals. It is a sober
ing thrill to see old trench rows
running through grassy hill coun
try where nature has not yet
erased the scars of the Civil War.
The batalion arises at 2:00
some morning in silent blackness
pierced only by the stabbling bar
racks light. After a hasty- break
fast, with sandwiches stuffed in
pockets, men march down to the
Potomac, carrying the regular
equipment of an infantry battal
ion minus packs. Mortars, machine
guns, auto-rifles and regular arms
are carried. Down at the dock,
the Higgins landing boats mill
around, creating a strange sight
in the murky fog, their lights dim
ly visible from shore. Men climb
from cargo nets into boats as
they come alongside the platform.
Equipment is lowered down wffli
ropes and the men climb the nets
hand over hand rifles slung over
backs, cantens and bayonets dangl
ing.
Out on the misty river the boats
roam, waiting for the formation
to completely assemble. Instruc
tions have been issued and every
minute is accounted for. Finally
the boast are loaded and the waves
of snub-nosed craft move off in
formation toward the rendezvous
area a few miles toward the sea.
There the ships circle again before
making the intial stabbing attack.
Scout bombers from the Fleet Ma
rine Air Group pepper the hostile
shore with flour sack bombs in
preparation for the advance.
Then the first wave speeds
shoreward, followed by a second
and a third. As the boats touch
bottom, Marines leap out, hold
ing rifles high out of the waist-
deep water. Gaining the shore,
they charge against waves of
machine gun blank ammunition
fire. The enMsted men of the hos-
tle force are pushed back across
the railroad tracks and then, with
out more than a moment’s rest,
the student officers are off for
special tasks, to capture a rail
head or to take a supply stor^ in
a town several miles distant.
All morning men tramp and
fight against zooming planes and
hostile scout cars spitting blanks
and faking the roads with imagin
ary bullets. The sand bag grenades
soon are expended as baseball pit
ches land them in open scout cars
for direct hits. £>ome student of
ficers even let fly with oranges
and dirt clods. A grinning machine
gunner is hit with a soggy sand
wich. A road barricade almost
tips one of the scout cars as the
driver skids and plunges to one
side to avoid a heap of logs and
tree stumps placed in the road.
Then the dusty and tiring hike
back to the boats in a rear guard
action, fighting all the way against
aviation and scout cars that have
been blown off the road a hundred
times. Wading into the water and
out to the boats, the men return
to the barracks and the knowledge
that their ten weeks as student of
ficers are over that in weeks,
months and years to come" they
will have an opportunity to work
further “problems” where a wrong
answer will bring a swift deat^h
and the correct solution will send
the hellions of Hirohito to their
doom and turn back the Hitlerian
legions of the damned.
The student graduates don’t
say much, but they are serving
today in Midway and Johnston Is
lands, in Hawaii and ashore and
afloat with the Fleet Marine Force
of the U. S. Marines, and they
haven’t forgotten Wake Island or
what “Semper Fidelis” means.
—BACKWASH—
(Continued on page 2)
From the Dallas News comes a
rhyme that could have come from
College Station: Blessings on you,
luckless man, with your tireless
new sedan. It’s too late to groan
or cuss. Now you, too, may thumb
with us. . .
She’s sweet as sugar—and just
about as available. . .
What’s the Difference
The story, related by E. E. Mc-
Quillen of the Former Students’
Office, goes that a Negro draftee
expressed anxious desire to be an
Army cook. The only trouble was,
he didn’t know a thing about cook
ing. So the officer in charge asked
him what else he thought he’d like
to do. The darkie scratched his
head for a minute and replied that
he’d like to be “one of them Sec
ond Louies.” . . .
A recent issue of The Texas Ag
gie, a newspaper published by The
Former Students Association of
Texas A. & M. College, went to
graduates of the college located
all over the world.
SAE Elects
Officers; Ursell
Is First President
Plan to Send Members
To Dallas Convention;
Agree on Meeting Time
Charles R. Ursell, A Engineers,
was elected chairman of the Stu
dent Chapter of the Society of Au
tomotive Engineering at its first
meeting Tuesday, August 18. Other
officers elected were Frank R.
Young, H FA, vice-chairman;
David Scott Kauffman, ordnance
secretary; and J. J. Hoss, AC A,
treasurer.
Plans were discussed for some
of the members to attend the meet
ing of the Texas Section of the
Society of Automotive Engineering
in Dallas, August 26. It was also
decided that the chapter would
regularly meet on the second and
fourth Tuesdays of each month.
The Student chapter of the SAE
isi the first chapter of its kind in
Texas. It is open to any engineer
ing student interested in combus
tion engines of any type. Forty-
five students have already joined
the student chapter.
Ursell said that the student
member receives the current issue
of the SAE Journal, the monthly
publication of the Society. In ad
dition, he is welcome to all meet
ings of the Society and is entitled
to the privileges of the society’s
placement service.
Last Registrants
To Be Classified
According to Age
Immediate classification of Se
lective Service registrants of the
Fifth Registration (June 30th)
was announced today by General
J. Watt Page, State Selective Serv
ice Director.
Local Boards throughout the
State have today been instructed
by State Headquarters memoran
dum to proceed immediately with
the classification of all registrants
of the Fifth Registration who have,,
reached their twentieth birthday.
The men registered in the Fifth
Registration, General Page pointed
out, were those between the ages
of eighteen and twenty, inclusive,
and in Texas affected approxi
mately 132,000 men.
“The Selective Training and
Service Act, as amended,” General
Page stated, “sets out that, except
as otherwise provided, every male
citizen of the United States and
every male person residing in the
United States, who is between the
ages of twenty and forty-five at
the time fixed for registration, or
who attains the age of twenty
after having been required to reg
ister, shall be liable for training
and service in the land or naval
forcefe of the United States.
“Accordingly, all registrants of
the Fifth Registration are, upon
reaching their twentieth birthday,
subject to induction when their
order number is reached.”
No national lottery was or will
be held for registrants of this age
group, General Page stated, and
order numbers have been assigned
on the basis of birth dates of the
registrants (and alphabetically as
to registrants born on the same
date).
Registrants who have not reach
ed their twentieth birthday will not
be mailed a questionnaire, he said,
but immediately upon attaining
their twentieth birthday they will
be mailed a questionnaire and clas
sified in accordance with current
Selective Service Regulations and
policy for filling calls.

—SOMETHING TO READ—
(Continued from page 2)
Psychology of Everyday Life; Fear and Its
Consequences.
One of Freud’s most distinguished fol
lowers, Alfred Adler, has written some use
ful books in the field in which psychology
and philosophy overlap and mingle. His Un
derstanding Human Nature explains a lot of
dark and confusing matters. The Science of
Living begins with the inferiority complex
and ends with sexuality and sex problems.
In What Life Should Mean to You Adler
tries to make psychology useful in the proc
ess of planning a good life.
It is only fair to warn you that psychol
ogists disagree violently among themselves.
Most of the books I have named, for exam
ple, have a Freudian color, but John B. Wat
son who led a movement called “Behavior
ism” criticizes Freudian Psychoanalysis very
harshly. His Ways of Behaviorism* will give
you (painlessly) the essence of his point of
view. A follower of his, G. A. Dorsey, wrote
a book which has been one of our best-sellers
for years, Why We Behave Like Human Be
ings.

Students Defeat
Faculty At Chess
Tuesday night the students de
feated the faculty with a score of
six games won and two games lost
in the second Student-Faculty
Chess Match. These are the re
sults of the finals as they were
reported.
Dr. C. M. Kelly won one game
and lost one game to Tom Leland;
H. L. Kid lost two games to Al
Tinajero; Dr. S. S. Share won
his first and lost his second to
Eugene Canfield; and Prof. J. M.
Orchard lost two games to Leon
Weiner.
By winning this match, the stu
dents made up partially for the,
defeat they suffered last week at
the hands of the faculty. Matches
such as these are good practice for
the students and give the teachers
something to look out for when
play time rolls around each week,
Weiner stated.
A special meeting of the Chess
Club will be held this Tuesday
night in the chess room of the new
Y.M.C.A. The purpose of the meet
ing will be to get together all of
the members of the chess club and
all the students that are interested
in chess, regardless of their indi
vidual playing ability.
Senior Ring Stones
For Graduating Class
Of ’43 Are Lost
As a result of Hitler’s invasion
of Czechoslovakia in 1938, some
1942 and ’43 college seniors will
wear rings without stones.
This will affect a majority of the
colleges and universities in the
United States, as well as junior
colleges and high schools.
Present stocks of stones suitable
for class rings are running low,
and continued use of them is very
doubtful.
Aggies who have to get up at
six-fifteen in the morning are con
vinced that what Sherman said is
true, “Wartime sure is hell!”—

Monday, September 7, and the
students will be dismissed between
eleven and twelve o’clock. The full
time schedule will begin Tuesday

12:00 a. m. for lunch. Afternoon
classes will start at 1:00 p- m. and
will be dismissed at 3:00 for the
first week.
All students will be required to
have a vaccination certificate on
file in the superintendent’s office
and it would be wise for all begin
ners in the first grade to have
their vaccination done immediate
ly to give time for the arm to heal
before school opens.
W. D. Bunting, Superintendent
of Schools, announces that no un
der-age children will be permitted
to enroll in the school this year
because of the crowded condition
of the lower grades. He also states
that the school cafeteria will not
be opened until the second week
of school.
All new students should have a
record of their past school work
to present at the time of their reg
istration.
