College, appeared in the January issue of the Ameri can Hereford Journal. Ashton’s article revealed that the Panhandle-Plains Historical Society was organized in 1919 for the purpose of collecting, restor ing and preserving scientific data and material relating Plains re gion. As the need for a museum because more acute, a campaign was started to raise the necessary funds. The first unit was complet ed in April, 1933 at a cost of over $50,000, while the second unit was opened in 1942 with a building fund of approximately $80,000. The im posing buildings at Canyon are filled with interesting and valua ble collections of things important in the fabulous past of the cattle days in the Southwest.

Vitkovits, Cleveland, Ohio, 1939-42 (MMore Field); Flight Officer Richard M. Zedlitz, Ballinger, 1938-39 (Lub bock Flying School). The tremendous expansion pro gram, which was launched even be fore Pearl Harbor, saw eleven classes graduated last year. Fore case that the 1943 production will far outnumber that of 1942 on the fact that many new schools in the Training Center are now near ing completion and will contribute flying cadets. In addition to Blackland and Eagle Pass, new pilots receive their wings at Foster and Moore Fields, Texas, and Lake Charles, Louisiana, single-engine advanced schools; and Brooks, Ellington and Lubbock, Texas, twin-engine ad vanced schools. They have been recipients of the finest instruction in the best planes in the world, and are part of the Army Air Forces’ answer to those who would destroy the American way. Of the graduates, some will be com missioned second lieutenants, while others will be appointed to the newly created rank of flight officer. Japs Hold Aggie Ex As Prisoner of War First Lieut. Carl Pipkin, grad uate of A.&M. college, and a na tive of Beaumont, Texas, is a pris oner of war of the Japanese in the Philippines, according to a tel egram received by Pipkin’s par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Pipkin of Beaumont, from the war de partment. Pipkin graduated from A.&M. in 1940 with a degree in Agricul tural Administration. He was a member of the band and the Beau- mort A. & M. Club. Pipkin joined the army soon after graduation and after training at Fort Crock ett, received his commission in the coast artillery, anti-aircraft divi sion. He was assigned to Corregi- dor with the 60th coast artillery and was evidently captured when the Nipponese took the isl an( j i n March. Of interest to all record fans and music minded students, is the never ending fight between Mr. Petrillo of the American Federa tion of Musicians and the major recording companies of country. Since last August Petrillo has banned all recordings made by union musicians. His aim was to extract higher wages from the recording studios. But it seems that Mr. P. has under-estimated Mr. Music Fan who will not stand for any musical dic tator telling him when and what records he can or can’t buy. At this writing it seems in all prob ability that the President himself will intervene and force Petrillo to lift his ban on records. Those few new records which have been bought since last summer were made long before August and were withheld until recently in or der to try and cover up the ban. An example of this: Woody Her man made his terrific record of Jingle Bells last May, yet it wasn’t released until mid-term. Another means of evading this injunction has been the releasing of American records made in Mexico. This was done by laying direct phone lines to Mexico from New York or other large cities where it was directly recorded as it came over the phone, ings of the orchestra. On the home front Barney Rapp and his New Englanders come in Friday for a two night stand. Rapp boasts of a versatile crew that builds around a glee club, and re ports from Houston, where he is now playing the Plantation Club, say his music is very smooth. Per sonally, I think that the Corps, as a whole will consider his as just another band, EXCEPT for his vocalist. Ruby Wright. Ruby is not just another vocalist. Be sides singing she is considered one of the prettiest women in the mid die west, in fact, she was even Miss Indiana for two years straight. Really and truly, Wright is the outstanding artist of the orchestra, and deserves the title of “The Sweetheart of the Air.” Thirty-Second Notes Curly Brient is hunting for a pianist, and a fine tenor sax man. Heretofore, Curly has been lucky in having musicians pop up at just the right time when a posi tion ’had been vacated. If you are a musician of either the piano or the sax, and have had previous dance band experience, get iu touch with Curly this week. It’s a swell way to pick up cash, and some of the boys even make their way through school just from eam- known around here as the Sing- Song of the Week: “I Blissed Your Picture”—A slow pretty bal lad that will catch on and stay there in your mind for a long time. The song that is really catching on over the campus is “You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To.” By the way, do you remember Orrin Tucker and Bonnie Baker? They are Mr. and Mrs. now. Tuesday’s Town Hall Tuesday night, Aggieland heard for the first time, a rejuvenated and almost inspired choral club known around here as the Sing ing Cadets. Town Hall’s usually critical audience was very recep tive to the Cadets in their hour and forty-minutes program. In their opening number, they took advantage of the fact that the first impression is the best impression, and so gave something special to Malotte’s “Lord’s Pray er”. One of the weak spots of the program came in the form of the second selection, “Adoramus Ye Christe.” This song as a beauti ful melody, but Tuesday night that melody was hidden in the hum of harmony around it. Had the lead been stronger, it would have been perfect. Bright and cheerful was the “Joy of the Hunter”, but for some al most intangible reason, the Ca dets just do not sound as good trotting as they do walking. “Joy of the Hunter” added a lively note to the program just when it was beginning to be needed, and was executed, or seemed so, with a great deal more ease than the other two spirited selections, “Bat tle of Jericho” and “Set Down, Servant.” Notable defect in the “Battle of Jericho” was the in audibility of low-pitched pick-up notes which were both weak and indefinite, and the lyrics were of necessity sung so lively that the Cadets' just didn’t have time to come out on these weak spots. “Der Furhrer’s Face,” although it was printed on the program, took the audience by delightful sur prise, and Ralph Greenberg de serves an Aggieland “Oscar” for his performance. Ringwald’s arrangements, more often heard on Fred Waring’s Pleasuretime broadcasts, have done more for the Singing Cadets than anything that has happened to them all year. They are like a shot in the arm in comparison with the old standard, stock arrange ments used for so long. Cadet soloists in the various numbers could possibly have done better if they hadn’t seemed scared to death, Frank Ludden especial ly. Robert Shuffler’s narration in “This is my Country” begins very touchingly, but he seems to al most shift his mood right in the middle of it, and several mock sobs were heard all over the audience before he was through. However, with the Cadets in the background, the number is inspiring, and Shuf fler does do a flawless job, ending up about in the same mood as he began. Walter Jenkins, guest soloist, scared his audience when he first began to sing “Hear Me, Ye Winds and Waves” but before he was half through, the magnificent rich ness of his deep baritone converted every man, woman and child list ening. His ability to entrance his audience and create a mood is greatly effective, and his gracious ease while on the stage, his in formal dignity, if it may be called that, made him a favorite Tues day night. Last but not least, was the Ken Darby arrangement of “The Spirit of Aggieland.” Beginning simply, then moving in a rising crescendo of volume and richness, the Ca dets were truly inspired. How ever, just as everyone was settling down to a beautiful piece it was over. Too short. Neither too long, nor too short was the most perfectly delivered selection of the program, “Auld Lang Syne”. Another Darby ar rangement, this number was beau tifully done. All elements of the club were blended perfectly, not too much of anything, not too lit tle, and easily stood out as the most perfect number of the pro gram. recognized that a large number of engineering graduates eventu ally find their greatest opportun ity in some form of administrative or managerial work. Statistics in dicate that not more than twenty- five per cent of all engineering graduates in this country remain in strictly engineering work, the remaining seventy-five per cent finding their life’s work in some managerial capacity covering a broad field of activity in which their technical training . forms a substantial background. Until comparatively recent years the engineering colleges of this coun try had not specifically recognized the need of this large group of graduates, but today a large num ber of the leading colleges have instituted carefully designed courses of instruction leading to a baccalaureate degree of Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineer ing, or some similar degree. In line with educational prog ress, therefore, the Department of Industrial Engineering will offer, this coming semester, the follow ing courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering: The first five semesters are the same as for Mechanical Engineer ing. 2nd Semester Junior Year M.E. 328 Thermodynamics (3-0) 3 M.E. 328 Thermodynamics (0-3) 3 E.E. 308 Alt.

Naval Reserve and designated a Naval Aviator at weekly graduation cere monies held at the Naval Air Training Center, at Corpus Christi, recently. Before pinning on the coveted Navy Wings of Gold”, the dis tinguishing mark of a Naval Avia tor, Ensign Darst with other mem bers of the class were addressed by Rear Admiral Alfred E. Mont gomery, USN, Commandant of the training center. Ensign Darst volunteered for flight training last Jan., and re ceived preliminary instruction at the Dallas, Texas, reserve aviation base. He was then transferred to the World’s largest naval air sta tion, “The University of the Air”, for intermediate and advanced flight training.

Faires or Hall Logan, as soon as possible (room 308, Petroleum En gineering Building), so that full preparation can be made before the opening of the new semester. Students taking a branch of en gineering other than Mechanical Engineering may be able to trans fer to Industrial Engineering with some approved substitutions for subjects in the foregoing list. Moreover, present juniors who have sufficient extra hours may be able to get a degree in In dustrial Engineering by the end of the next semester. Each case of this nature must be considered as an individual problem. X-Ray Diffraction Proves Chinese Box Made of Black Jade An X-ray diffraction analysis by experts of the General Electric X-ray Corporation recently meant the difference between $25 and about $1000 in the value of an ancient Chinese snuff bottle. The analysis proved that the three-inch bottle, brought from the Orient some years ago by Julius Bensabott, Chicago collector and importer, was rare black jade and not common agate as some jewelers believed. Because of the extreme rarity of the type of jade, none of the usual experts could prove whether the bottle was jade or agate. As a last resort, Mr. Bensabott, who had just sold the item to a friend, took it to the Field Museum which referred him to the G.E. X-ray Corporation’s diffraction labora tories in Chicago. X-Ray diffraction is the only means of positively identifying a substance by a study of its crys talline nature. The pattern result ing from the diffraction of a nai’- row beam of X-rays by a crystal line structure is recorded on a piece of photographic film. The pattern is characteristic of this substance only. As a result, G-E diffraction engineers have a means of “finger-printing” all crystalline materials. addition to many hours of flight training. Darst and other mem bers of today’s class are now pre pared for duty with the fleet. Or, they may be selected as instructors to teach one of the many phases of aeronautics to the young men being selected as aviation cadets.
