ATTENTION of all students is direct ed to the fact that the rules governing class attendance place the responsibilty for such attendance on the student and that when he is absent from a class he has missed a definite part of his course regardless of the cause of his absence. A student contemplating missing a class should decide whether he can afford to miss that part of his course and if he does miss it should expect to take such consequences in lowered grade as may result. Hereafter AUTHORIZED ABSENCES will be granted only in case of: 1. Sickness of the student when the college physician certifies he is unable to attend class. 2. Duty as Officer of the Day or similar official duty authorized in advance. 3. Necessary absence which can not be postponed to a time when quizzes will not be missed. Students wishing to go to their homes for examinations of teeth, eyes, etc., should plan such trips at times that will interfere least with their classes and will not cause them to miss quizzes, as auth orized absences can be granted for such trips hereafter only in case of emergencies requiring immediate attention which is not available at the College.

Coach Homer Norton and Line-Coach Bill James are both high in their praises for the lad who rose up from a third-string guard to become one of the na tion’s top linemen. “He’s the best guard I’ve coached in many years and that includes the Joe Routt, Marshall Robnett and Charlie Henke era,” said Coach Norton. The two gridsters and Coach Norton plan to leave for Mont gomery, Alabama about December 15 where they will work out and coach respectively until the day of the game, December 26. It’s Sweater Time!

There’s still a Spirit about this place. They tried to break it—halt our pace, But they can’t stop us—we’re in the race, And we’ll win if it takes forever! We’ve carried that Spirit through the years; We’ve stood out on Kyle Field in tears; We’ve gone on Corps trips and chug-a-lugged beers; In that good ole Aggie way. When a spirit’s so deep that such a man, Who can’t even hear, can under stand And sense the warmth of an Ag gie’s hand, Do you think it can ever die? No, that Spirit will never die. Let ’em make their rules and slip them by. They can take all else—with no reason why, But they can’t kill the AGGIE SPIRIT!! Watch for It. . .

Meanwhile, the team went through a gruelling workout yesterday after spending all morning and part of the afternoon before the Univer sal studio cameras for special football shots in the forthcoming Texas A. & M. movie. Little Bobby Williams, spinning, and running in a manner that had all the squad amazed paced the varsity through a scrimmage sess ion Wednesday. He ran primarily at the tailback spot while Leo Daniels and Barney Welch looked on with envy. He hit guard, tackle, end and center and on very few occasions did the reserves manage to stop the little package of dyn amite. As if that wasn’t enough, Williams also called signals and played all other positions in the backfield. Blocking was especially emphas ized with the team coming through in fine style. Wille Zapalac, Ed Ogdee, Weldon Maples, Dub Sib ley, Cullen Roger sand Pete Slaugh ter looked exceptionally good in that department. Morty Hertz, re serve guard, and Truman Cox, end, were the bright spots on defense for the second-stringers. -THE BATTALION- Wake Island Above is a scene from “Wake Island”, showing at the Campus Theater Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Through a change in schedule, “PANAMA HATTIE” will show today and Friday at Guion Hall instead of Tuesday and Wednes day as previously announced. Ann Southern, Red Skelton and Ben Blue share the billing honors. Am» is cast as “Hattie,” an entertain er in a Panama honkytonk en gaged to a rich soldier. When her romance seems headed for the rocks, Red, Rags and Blue —three screwy sailors—stey in and save it: Others in the cast are Jackie Horner, Dan Dailey, Marsha Hunt and Virginia O’Brien of dead pan fame. The Lowdown—Just another mu sical—nothing special. A picture that every American should see will show at the Cam pus today through Saturday. Its title — “WAKE ISLAND,” its theme—the defense of Wake Is land by the U. S. Marine Corps. A stirring picture that is full of emo tion and thrills. It has no feminine allure and women enter only by indirection, but it is sure to appeal to everyone. > The records of the Marine Corps furnished the basis for this authen tic picture of the magnificent achievements of the marines on Wake Island. Bringing home to us the great fight of fellow Ameri cans against a foe better armed and greatly outnumbering htem, it becomes a glorious tribute to admit defeat until their ammuni tion and almost the last man were gone. Brian Donlevy is tops as the marine officer in charge of the island’s defenses; Albert Dekker is the civilian engineer who re fuses to leave; MacDonald Carey, who gives his own life . to destroy a Jap cruiser.
