Arrangements are to be made to ex cuse students from classes when absol utely necessary, but they will be expect ed to miss the minimum amount of time. When weather conditions interfere with shooting a scene, they are expected to at tain classes. Certain students will shortly receive calls to report to their deans for confer ence. These calls take precedence classes, drills or participation movie, and students will report deans at the period indicated without ver in the o their dear fail. F. C. Bolton Dean / Since the postponement of the effect ive date for gasoline rationing makes transportation more readily available dur ing the Tranksgiving period and makes it possible for many students to spend a few days at home, the Academic Council has extended the Thanksgiving holidays to include the period from 6 p.m. Wednes day, November 25, to 6 p.m. Sunday, November 29. The time missed is to be made up by holding classes, which are to consist primarily of written tests and quizzes, on three Saturday afternoons. The schedule will be as follows: November 21—Friday morning schedule December 5—Friday afternoon schedule December 12—Saturday morning schedule Classes scheduled for 9 a.m. on Friday or Saturday are to meet at 2 p.m. on the respective afternoons; thqse for 10 a.m. will meet at 3 p.m., and so on.

A personal interest story is the one Ken was telling yours truly on his previous visit to Aggieland was the one about “after reading the script for the picture he turned to his wife and made the statement that A. & M. was the school for their young boy, and this was be fore Mr. Darby had made his visit to our campus. Yes, he still has the same opinion of the school even after spending two weeks in this Sing Sing on the Brazos. . . . From the Army comes the follow ing: Kay Kyser has been given a maj or’s commission in the Army, and sets a record as the highest ap pointment yet given to anyone in the music biz. . . Alvino Rey is ex pecting a personal letter from his draft board, very soon. Count Basie is expected to receive a commission in the Army in the same manner which Glenn Miller and Abe Ly man received theirs. . . . Buddy Clarke and his outfit joined up with Uncle Sammy last week, following the precedent of Clyde McCoy’s orchestra. That’s about the only place his music will be appreciated. Rumor has it that Artie Shaw, who is a seaman in the navy, will form his own band which will be recruited from musicians serving in the navy, and will probably be used to boost morale not only in Army camps and Naval statidns in this country, but also to our troops on foreign soil. . . Phil Harris and his band joined the service en masse, but still plans to play for the Jack Benny Show while it plays in Hollywood, and Harry James is to take over the show while in New York. Harry, by the way, offered to join the army but the officials informed him that he was doing just as much good out as he would in. As a result of the navy-spon sored radio program, The Navy Bulletin Board, more than 10,000 young Americans have voluntarily enlisted in the United States Navy. The show features Jimmy Dor- sey’c orchestra and is heard over Mutual’s coast-to-coast facilities at 7:30 p.m. every Saturday. Claude Thornhill bore out his statement that “he wants to leave music all alone and concentrate en tirely upon fighting for his country as best he can,” by joining the navy on October 26 a's an apprentice seaman and not as a commissioned officer.

White House, represented one of the best known alloy steels for high-strength forgings and bolts required in the manufacture of steam turbines. The test was made to determine what stresses could be used at tem peratures where all materials are plastic, without causing deforma tions larger than the minute values tolerable in high-speed machines. A test of this duration also pro vides a means for studying the changes in the characteristics of the metal under prolonged condi tions of high temperature and stress, and determines whether the material becomes stronger or weak er during the 11 years of the 100,- 000-hour period. Such tests are nec essary for improving the design of steam turbines so they can op erate at higher temperatures. General Electric engineers be lieve that the results of the test represent the first 100,000-hour data made available for design use. Originally, creep tests are run for only 1,000 to 3,000 hours. One member of the G-E organi zation has been personally con nected with the conduct of these tests from the start. He is Frank Lorenz, a laboratory engineer who has been keeping the test going and tabulating the daily results for more than 11 years that it has been conducted. Lorenz, or either of two other engineers were always “on call” in case anything went wrong that might interrupt the test. An ingenious alarm system lighted a red lamp and rang a bell outside the laboratory to signal trouble, summoning a watchman who would then telephone Lorenz or one of his two partners. Lorenz has made' a number of hurried trips to the laboratory in the mid dle of the night. The rods tested were each four- foot specimens of nickel-chrome- moly steel (S.A.E. 4340), 0.505 inch in diameter. A 12-inch por tion at the center of each rod con stituted the test area. Temperature of the 7 furnace was maintained at 842 F, and the four rods were sub jected to constant stresses of 13,000, 17,000, 21,000 and 25,000 lb. per sq. inch respectively. In the 100,000 hours, the No. 1 rod with the constant stress of 13,000 lb. per sq. inch stretched 0.928 mils per inch of length, or about one thou sandth of the 12-inch portion test ed. Extensions of the other three rods were 1,398, 2.729, and 4.166 mils per inch of length. Lt Kerr on Duty At Will Rogers Field Second Lieutenant John C. Kerr, son of Lawrence A.
