Visitors to the Library this week have seen Arthur Beau mont’s stirring scenes from Wake Island which are on exhibit in the lobby of the first floor. Further evidence of the unique quality of the fighting marines will be noted in two films present ed tonight in the Asbury Browsing Room of the Library as part of the movie program of the War Infor mation Center. There will be two shows ,one at 7:15 and one at 8:45. “From Ships of the Air” was made at Lakehurst, New Jersey, where Private, First Class, Smith goes up in a plane and after five minutes throws his body from a 1000-foot altitude, lets go of the static line of his ’chute and falls through space to a perfect land ing. All of this comes after the careful selective training of many weeks, after he has learned to shoot, to use a bayonet, and to obey orders without resentment. “Para- marines” are handpicked speci mens, a specialized part of that organization of leathernecks whose training we learn of at length in a longer film, “Marine Corps News.” The first part of “Marine Corps News” consists of varied marine corps activities: crash landing, thermite bomb demonstration, lib erty in Miami, prize winner, and Secretarty of Navy Knox on ma rine corps maneuvers. The second part of the film is devoted to de fense, battalion attacks barbecue, marine corps museum, marine corps birthday ceremonies, and finals of marine corps polo league. .These films will be revelations to the laymen who have marveled at the stamina of the marine corps.

With kick-off time at 2:30, even the streets of Dalla's will, be free from the boys who are learning the art of making war in the world’s largest military school, A. & M. Flocking into the steel and concrete arena, they will sing and yell for the glory of Aggieland as the two teams bang brains on the green turf that is Ownby Stadium. This game will not decide the Southwest Conference winner, but is the most important game of the year for the Cadets with the ex ception of the Turkey Day classic with the Longhorns. As the score stands now, the Aggies have walked off with the honors to the tune of 11-10, with three ties spotting the record. Aggies and Dates Sit on East Side Aggies and their dates will sit on the east side of the stadium, and the senior section has been set as those seats between the fifty and thirty yard lines from row twelve up. This is just behind the Aggie band, which broke all prece dents by hitch-hiking lock, stock and barrel to Dallas so that they might perform between the halves. Band members have been slop ping through mud and slush, prac ticing and re-practicing for to day’s ^xhibition, and promise to put on ■& show worth seeing, even though the entire band of 250 pieces will not be on hand. visor of NYA Girls’ War Work Center, Waco, will give an over view of girls in war work, known as “Victory Girls of Today.” WILLIAMSON PICKS— (Continued From Page 3) v CLEMSON Cornell Dayton Davidson DUKE Florida Fordham GEORGIA TECH Iowa U Kansas MICHIGAN MINNESOTA Mississippi MARQUETTE .87.6 .86.6 80.8 .80.8 ,91.2 .85.2 .91.7 .98.1 ..91.2 .79.0 .94.4 .93.8 .83.3 .93.9 Northwestern 88.2 Nebraska 88.5 Oregon U 85.4 OREGON STATE 88.2 OKLAHOMA 88.0 Princeton 88.5 Purdue 90.4 PENNSYLVANIA 92.0 Pittsburg 89.9 Penn State ..90.2 RUTGERS : 86.5 Richmond 74.2 Stanford 86.7 Southern California 84.7 Trinity 63.5 Texas Tech 85.2 TENNESSEE 95.0 Texas A.&M 87.0 Tulane 91.0 TULSA 96.1 TEXAS MINES „„-r. 78.8 Texas U 93.1 V M I ; 88.4 George Washington 81.0 YALE 88.7 CHATTANOOGA 84.3 NORTH CAROLINA 88.0 Maryland ..._ 87.0 GEORGIA 99.4 LOUISIANA STATE 94.6 Kentucky 90.4 WISCONSIN 97.8 WASHINGTON STATE 80.2 Harvard 88.2 Indiana 90.9 VANDERBILT 90.8 Manhattan 86.8 ILLINOIS 94.0 MISSOURI 89.3 UCLA 93.6 Montana 74.4 Kansas State 75.2 DARTMOUTH 88.5 GREAT LAKES 92.8 Navy 89.0 OHIO STATE 93.0 SYRACUSE 91.4 Lafayette 85.0 V P I 86.0 WASHINGTON CST 89.0 CALIFORNIA 89 8 AMHERST 79 1 TCU 1...93.7 Cincinnati . 83 2 MISSISSIPPI STATE ....92.0 Oklahoma A.&M. ,87.0 Temple ~7a'n BAYLOR 93.1 Wake Forest ~~~ 37*9 barbed wires against an object, while expert riflemen fire live bullets just above their crawling heads, are ready for the Solomons.

Even now it would be pos sible, if one had the gasoline, to drive over the 13,000 miles of it which stretch from Caracas', that town where locations are designat ed by corners, not by streets (and each corner has its name) to the Strait of Magellan. It has been done. Herbert C. ^Lanks, commis sioned by the Pan-American High way Confederation to produce a sound-color film, made the North to South trip in a 1938 station wagon. Tonight we may see the result of his often hazardous, always thrilling trip in a 43 minute film entitled “Oui 1 Neighbors Down the Road.” The Highway began splen didly on a two-lane concrete strip that zigzagged up the mountains to Caracas, about 3,000 feet high in the first foothills of the Andes. Soon, however, the adventurer found himself seldom below 8,000 feet.

Sissle will have the honor of being the first orchestra to play in spacious floors of Duncan hall. Heretofore, the only place where dances have been held were either in Sbisa hall or in The Grove. However, with the overcrowded campus with the dates of both the Engineers and the Composite Regi ment, it will be necessary to clear the floors in both mess halls in order to facilitate dancing room for the two regiments. Now included in the Composite Regiment along with the Signal Corps and the Chemical Warfare is the Ordnance, one of the two new regiments just lately formed on the campus. Ags Hold One Game Lead Over Ponies in Series No two Southwest Conference football teams can boast the record of grid championships as can Tex as A&M and Southern Methodist, the two teams which come together at Ownby Stadium in Dallas on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 7. The Aggies were one of the char ter members of the conference when it was formed in 1914 but the Mustangs gained admission two years later and, after a disasterous first year, have gone on to win four and a tie for one title while the Aggies hold the record with seven titles and one tie—that tie with S.M.U. in 1940. S.M.U. has played in the Rose Bowl (1936) while A&M appeared in the Sugar Bowl in 1940 and the Cotton Bowl in 1941 and 1942. The Ponies lost in their one appearance while the Cadets took two and lost one of their modern Classic games. A&M played Centre in what is now the Cotton Bowl in 1922 and also took that one to make it three of four post-season wins. To date A&M has won 11, lost 10 and tied 3 in the 24 games played with the Mus tangs. The A&M game will be the sec ond conference game of the year for S.M.U. while it will mark the fourth loop start for the Aggies. Anyonq can and does win the Ag- gies-S.M.U. game and this year promises to be no different than those in the past, so for those who like comparative scores of the past, here they are: Year 1916 Aggies 63 SMU 0 1917 — — 1919 16 0 1920 3 0 1921 13 0 1922 • 6 17 1923 6 10 1924 7 7 1925 7 0 1926 7 9 1927 39 13 1928 19 19 1929 7 12 1930 7 13 1931 0 8 1932 0 0 1933 0 19 1934 ». 0 28 1935 0 24 1936 22 6 1937 14' 0 1938 7 10 1939 6 2 1940 19 7 1941 - 21 10 TOTALS .. 214 GAMES WON...

(An INS Summary from the Daily Texan) Senator George D. Aiken (R- Vt.) Thursday charged that “Amer ican taxpayers have been virtually robbed of untold millions” by “rank incompetence” of the Maritime Commission, of which Rear Ad miral Emory S. Land is chairman. In a letter to Senator David I. Walsh (D-Mass.), chairman of the Senate Naval Affirs Committee, Aiken, who is a member of the Senate Committee on Expenditures in Executive Departments, urged that promotion of Land to the rank of ,yice-admiral be postponed, pending an investigation of his record. Walsh has pending in the Sen ate a bill to promote Land. Aiken said he was not acquainted with Land, only that he knows Land is chairman of the Maritime Com mission" and as such should be held fully responsible for the acts of the commission.” By consent of the Senate, Aiken inserted into the Congressional Record a copy of his letter to Walsh. The letter called Walsh’s attention to a report on the Tampa Shipbuilding and Engineering Co., by Comptroller George Lindsay Warren. This report, Aiken said, showed that a reappraisal of the company’s property was made fixing value of the land at $1,253,242, and plant and equipment at $1,838,848.67, making a total reappraisal valua tion of $3,092090.67, although prior to the reappraisal the land had been carried on the books of the company at a value of $195'218, and the plant and equipment at Corps Goes Into Wool Uniforms Saturday Winter woolen uniforms will be the prescribed uniform for the corps beginning at reveille Satur day, November 7, according to word received yesterday from the Adjutant’s office.

Cadet Burnem, a former Austin High School athlete in El Paso, at tended Texas A. & M. three years before his enlistment as a V-5 cadet in Naval aviation. $1,066,311.47. “It is also to be noted,” Aiken wrote, “that George B. Howell,, the trust officer of the Exchange National Bank of Tampa, Fla., one of the creditor banks, and who later became sole stockholder, and president of the new company, had previously stated in a letter to the Secretary of State at Tallahassee, Fla., that the land was not worth the back taxes of $57,000. “Thus, the Maritime Commis sion, which, according to its chair man, was wholly familiar with the property, permitted a reappraisal to be made boosting the value of the land, plant and equipment from $1,261,528.47 to $3,092,090.67, or an increase of $1,830,561.20. “This very questionable revalua tion was apparently indulged in to justify further financial assist ance to a practically insolvent com pany. “The two reports (on the Tampa Shipbuilding and Engineering Co. and the Wotecman Steamship Cor poration) describe transactions wherein approximately $4,000,000 of the taxpayers’ money has been dissipated. “In fact, these transactions ap pear to go beyond the realm of dissipation. They smell to high heaven of rank incompetence and collusion with private interests, for which the Maritime Commission and its chairman should be held accountable.” President Roosevelt has shelved indefinitely proposals for compul sory regimentation of the nation’s manpower for war industries, ac cording to union labor spokesmen who conferred with him Thursday.
