spots both on offense and defense
were in evidence, and Coach Nor
ton is far from being satisfied.
Heavy workouts are in prospect
for the remainder of the week in
preparation for the game with the
Corpus Christi Naval Air Station
team Saturday.
Meanwhile, former backfield
coach Marty Karow of the Aggies,
now head coach of the NAS was
on hand this past weekend to scout
the Aggies. The fliers played no
opponent Saturday, and will have
had a two week layoff when they
meet the Aggies. Sporting Such
flashy former All-Americans as
George Franck, ex-Minnesota ace,
and Ed Frutig, former Michigan
star, the fliers will be a tough
outfit to beat.
Said Coach Norton, “I coached
those boys in the All-Star game
of 1941 in Chicago, and believe me,
if they ever get strung out they
can really go.” The fliers are ex
pected to be a much improved ball
club over the team which lost to
Rice by an 18-7 count Saturday
before last, and the Aggies are
liable to run into plenty of trouble.
At a time when the fate of the
world hinges on American war pro
duction, destruction by fire is a
criminal waste.

THE BATTALION
Texas Drops to No
12 Spot; Ags No 37
Two of the leading Southwest
Clubs let the System down the
past week as Texas fell 3-0 before
Northwestern and S. M. U. was up
set by a bunch of hustling Pitts
burg Panthers by a score of 20-7.
Predictions that carried true to
form were the T. C. U. victory
over Arkansas and the A. & M.
strong comeback at the hands of
Texas Tech. The Systems two ma
jor upsets of the week were Ne
braska 26-Iowa State 0 and Du-
quesne 25-Holly Cross 0. However,
the correct “shocker” predictions
include Tennessee’s slaughter of
Fordham, Georgia Tech’s close win
over Notre Dame, Tulsa’s upset
over what was believed a strong
Oklahoma team, Santa Clara’s win
over Stanford, and Alabama’s
strong showing in beating Missis
sippi State. The System said the
Iowa Preflights-Minnesota game
would be close and picked Minne
sota. This prediction was missed
as the Golden Gophers fell before
the team of their former mentor—
Bernie Bierman. However the Go
phers missed winning the game by
one yard. All in all, on the basis
of 168 games reported the System_
“College students who will make
the best bombardiers are those who
study math and lots of it.” Lt. Col.
William M. Garland, director of
training at Uncle Sam’s newest
bombardier university, opening here
this week, tells those who ask him
what to study in order to realize
the thrill of emptying bomb bays
over Hitler’s Europe.
“As far as bombing is concerned,
this is a war of mathmgticians,”
Col. Garland says.
But for those who consider math
a grind he adds this note of hope.
“You don’t have to like math to
be a top-flight bombardier—you
merely must know how to use
figures.”
According to Col. Garland, simple
grammar school arithmetic is a ma
jor stumbling block of many avia
tion cadets who hope to make the
grade on the tough examinations
which all of the air forces bomb
ardiers now must pass in order to
become a member of the hand
picked group which will enter this
Advanced Flying School or one of
the great Army Air Force’s bomb
ardier schools.
Americans Urged
To Contribute
To Russian Relief
A plea to Americans to supple
ment lend-lease aid to Russia with
generous and “immediate” gifts
to Russian War Relief was deliver
ed recently by Secretary of Agri
culture Claude Wickard over radio
station WINX in Washington.
Wickard particularly urged an en
thusiastic public support of the
Russian War Relief campaign for
American needs with which to re
plant the Soviet Union’s scorched
earth.
Contributions for Russian aid
from individual Americans, the
Secretary said, achieve results in
international unity which cannot
be matched by the lend-lease pro
gram.
“The lend-lease program can
not supply the heart-warming
qualities of direct contributions
from individual American citizens
to citizens of an ally making an
heroic stand for the common cause
of freedom,” Wickard said.
Mentioning some of the relief
supplies that Russian War Relief
has shipped to Russia—seeds, clo
thing, surgical instruments, sulfa
drugs and other medicines—Wick
ard said he wishes to stress the
value of the seed shipments.
Seeds already shipped to the So
viet Union, he said included new
disease-resistant varieties contri
buted by universities and agricul
tural experiment stations through
out the United States and Canada.
They included the familiar grain
and vegetables of Russia—wheat,
oats, barley, tomatoes, carrots,
beets, cucumbers, cabbage and corn,
and a few vegetables hitherto
little cultivated there—spinach, col-
lards, celery, pease, squash and
eggplant.
Wickard emphasized that the
shipments of seed, ij ke the nation
al advantages of cooperation be
tween the two cou n trj eSj “are not
all one way to Russia ”
was 85.1 per cent correct in its
win-or-lose predictions for the third
week of the 1942 season.

ing Fortress misses a target the
mission is a complete loss,” the
director of training says. “Under
combat conditions the bombardier
has less than a minute and often
no more than thirty seconds in
which to recalculate his data and
get his bombs away at a target
that may be ten or twenty thousand
feet below. Minor miscalculations
multiply tragically with higher al
titudes. At 10,000 feet an error in
calculation of airplane speed of
only ten miles an hour results in
a miss of 364 feet. Bombs that
miss the target don’t even annoy
the enemy.”
Algebra, geometry, trignometry
and physics are invaluable to a
bombai'dier according to Col. Gar
land. Of major importance also is
knowing how to read aerial photos,
charts and maps. Every bombardier
throughly studies maps and charts
of his target and surrounding ter
ritory before starting a mission.
Often landmarks must be memoriz
ed. Slide rules and other rapid
mathmetical computers are used
constantly.
“A quick figuring bombardier
can give Hitler a headache every
night.”
“The officials of the Lenin All-
Union Academy of Agricultural
Sciences in Moscow,” he reported,
“were instrumental in forwarding
to America the seeds of the rub
ber-bearing dandelion which pro
vides a material part of the na
tural rubber produced in Russia.
Our own officials are now study
ing the possibilities of the rubber
bearing dandelion as a partial so
lution of the rubber shortage in
this country.”
Gifts to the Russian people thru
Russian War Relief, the Secretary
concluded, are evidences to the
Russian people of good faith and
good will toward them in America.
“We do not delude ourselves into
thinking that feelings of faith and
good-will, however strong they may
be, are the sole attributes necessary
for the winning of a war,” he said,
“but when these are weighed in
the same scale together with es
sential materials and vital neces
sities so that both sides are evenly
matched, they will assuredly be
found to tip the balance in the
favor of the right—for victory.
“Therefore, every American
should feel a personal incentive to
give to a cause which is devoted
to the purpose of providing such
humanitarian assistance. Russian
War Relief is the worthy organiza
tion through which this aid may
be transmitted, and~such aid must
be immediate.”
Venereal Disease
More Prevalent
Says Dr Geo Cox
Because of the fact that venereal
disease is no respecter of persons,
people of every class and color,
rich and poor, educated and ignor
ant are numbered among the vic
tims, asserts Dr. Geo. W. Cox,
State Health Officer.
“Venereal diseases, of which sy
philis and gonorrhoea are the more
commonplace, are among the most
vital health problems in the State
of Texas today.” Dr. Cox said.
Corpus Christi
Naval Air Station
Is Still Enlarging
The U. S. Naval Air Station at
Corpus Christi, Texas was not
named the “University of The Air”
without reason. There, upon its 4
sprawling fields and in the blue
Texas skies above the fields’ young
men are learning arts foreign to
the campuses of most universities
but with the same precision, thor
oughness, and intensity as more
peaceful subjects are taught in
collegiate realms.
The primary mission of this great
Naval air training center is to
teach young men to fight war in
and from the sky. Although the
focus of the station’s attention is
upon aviation cadets, that is not
all which is done at the “Univ
ersity.”
In addition to pilots, the station
trains radiomen, gunners, parachute
riggers, cooks and bakers, and
advance men through experience in
almost all of the enlisted rates in
the Navy. And the pilots them
selves don’t stop just with learn
ing how to “drive an airplane”,
but must be acquainted with many
of the sidelights of aerial flight
in which enlisted men specialize—
such as navigation, radio, bomb
ing.
This station is a young one mea
sured by the history of many naval
establishments. Dedicated March
12, 1941, by Secretary of the Navy
Frank Knox, the now training
center was then regarded as a
miracle of construction. It. grew
literally from swampy lagoons and
barren sand flats. Sand was dredg
ed from the Bay to make much of
the ground on which the buildings
arose. After eight months of con
struction the size of the station at
its commissioning was of stagger
ing proportions.
Construction did not stop there.
Now, more than a year and half
after it started operation, the sta
tion is still expanding. Not only
have new hangers and new build
ings appeared on the Main Sta
tion but four nearby fields, com
plete units in themselves, are oper
ating.
“This state has been chosen as the
location for dozens of army camps,
training fields, naval bases, ship
building yards, airplane construc
tion plants, and other major de
fense industries. The resulting in
flux of workers and armed forces
has emphasized the need for exert
ing every known means in the con
trol of venereal diseases.”
The State Health Officer pointed
out that self-diagnosis and self
treatment are extremely danger
ous and advised consulting a physi
cian for determing ^definitely whe
ther or not a venereal disease is
present.
“Only a reputable physician can
properly diagnose such a disease.
The presence of gonorrhoea is not
disclosed by a routine blood test,
and the diagnosis of syphilis re
quires more than a blood examina
tion,” declared Dr. Cox. “Both sy
philis and gonorrhoea are almost
100% curable if discovered and
treated in their very earliest stages.
Thousands of deaths annually could
be prevented,” Dr. Cox said, “if
sufficient attention were given to
the early diagnosis and thorough
treatment of syphilis. Delay re
duces the chance of cure and in
many cases is the direct cause of
death.” i

Parents Congress
To Be In Houston
The annual call to convention
has just gone out from State head
quarters of the Texas Congress of
Parents and Teacher^ to send dele
gates to the thirty-fourth conven
tion, meeting in Houston November
18 and 19.
The theme this year is “Our
Concern, Every Youth.” Outstand
ing features will be two-round
conferences, participated in by re
presentative students from leading
colleges and universities over the
State and from the armed forces.
“Youth Morale—What Is Morale?”
and “What Resources Are Avail
able to Youth Both within Them
selves and within the Community?”
Response to the latter discussion
will be made by presidents of the
institutions, from which the stu
dents come, in a round-table en
titled, “Do Our Universities and
Colleges Prepare Youth for Life?”
The convention has been “stream
lined” to a two-day session in keep
ing with requests made by the
federal government and the presi
dent of the National Congress of
Parents and Teachers. It is being
held in the middle of the week to
relieve traffic and hotel conges
tion. Headquarters will be the Rice
hotel. There will be few social af
fairs and only one dinner session.
Every talk, report, conference,
general session and business ses
sion is to be “streamlined” also,
according to Mrs. Jack M. Little
of Dallas, president of the con
gress.
Among those assisting Mrs. Little
are Mrs. E. H. Becker of Houston,
first vice-president and convention
consultant; Mrs. C. R. Larimer of
Houston, president of eleventh dis
trict; Mrs. P. J. Dulin, president
of the Houston city council of par
ents and teachers.
Mrs. William Hastings of Wis
consin, a national vice-president,
will represent the National Cong
ress of Parents and Teachers.
