However, Centenjary’s loss was A. & M.’s gain for Homer Norton had just signed a contract to come to A. & M. to head the sports tutors and he brought Manning with him to act as an assistant. While Manning was coaching at A. & M. he was also enrolled as a special student to study chemis try. He studied in his spare time for the first five years of his stay here. Manning managed to get credit for all undergraduate chemistry offered and did two years of graduate work in that subject. All he lacked to receive his master’s degree was the com pletion of his thesis which con sisted of a long problem which he had worked on for a year and a half. However, the love bug came along and nipped his work in the bud. Smith’s Courtship Here we will leave the usual course to tell of Manning’s court ship and eventual marriage. In the spring of 1937 Manning at tended the annual Cotton Ball, a gala affair on the pre-war A. & M. campus. (All this was before gas rationing, tire rationing and sugar rationing, etc.) At this dance he met Miss Juanita Cowsert of Junc tion, who, incidentally, was some Aggie’s date for the dance. After this Manning did not see her again for quite some time. In fact, he didn’t see her until the Cotton Ball of ’38 rolled around. He at tended this dance and the ac quaintance was renewed. This time he did much better. He made a date with her for the Thanksgiving holidays. The situ ation must have improved rapidly as three weeks after Thanksgiv ing Manning and Miss Cowsert were making plans for their mar riage. (There is now a younger Smith, Manning DeWitt, to be ex plicit, who Manning says, “is going to be a real football player.”) Coached in Many Sports During his years at A. & M. Smith has coached Aggies in prac tically every sport. Among those are varsity football, bosketbjall, and tennis, and freshman baseball, basketball, and football. From 1934 until it’s discontinuance in June, 1939, Manning managed the freshman athletic house which was operated for fish athletes. At the beginning of last foot ball season Manning was given the assignment of scouting all football opponents of A. & M. Previous to that job, he had charge of taking motion pictures of all Aggie football games, both at home and away from school. An other extra chore handled by Smith is that of Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop No. 102 of College Station and Cubmaster of the lo cal Cub Pack. This is another outlet for one of his greatest de sires—working with and instruct ing young boys. For his 1943 varsity basketball- ers, Smith has much praise. He feels that he has a wonderful Church Notices AMERICAN LUTHERAN CONGREGATION Y.M.C.A.

THE BATTALION Tough Army Recruiting Sergeants Stuck By Questions of WAAC Prospective Old Army recruiting sergeants are going to have to learn some new answers to satisfy the ques tions of women contemplating an abrupt about-face into Army life. If you don’t believe it, ask Pfc. Erwin W. Kandeler, in charge of the W.A.A.C. Recruiting Station in Bryan. Men have known for thousands of years, almost instinctively, about all the little personal changes they must make when joining armies. Not so women, Pvt. Kandeler has discovered. Mil itary service to women is now and completely strange. Every iterm is doubtful, and they want to know all the answers before they take the plunge. Army recruiters are learning to assure women that they will not have to cut off long, precious locks, that they may use lipstick and other cosmetics in modera tion; that they may wear unob trusive rings like wedding rings (no showy stones); that they may have dates with anyone they choose, as long as they do not violate regulations of the post to which they are attached. A great many women wish to know if they may smoke in the WAAC. The answer is yes. Ap plicants also ask if they must re main constantly in uniform. To this the answer is no. When off duty, WAACs may dress in civilian clothing and be just as feminine as they like. Women are, of course, highly interested in the fitting of the uniforms issued, and in the number and quality of garments. It is a good thing for the current WAAC recruiting drive that recruiters can assure them that every care is taken to see that they are fitted trimly and neatly, and that every bit of equipment is of fine qua lity. They are particularly anxious about social affairs provided and sponsored by the Corps. The an swer to this one is weekly dances, frequent appearances of big-time radio shows, camp movies and all' types of game equipment in the recreation rooms. Here are some other typical samples : May I take my radio or elec tric phonograph with me? Yes if it’s not too big. There are electrical outlets, however, only bunch of boys to coach and his prediction is, “if we can keep the team tog-ether we will have a good team—not a great team but one that get’s in there and hustles all the way. We will suffer de feats but I feel that we will win our share of the matches.” One of Four Coaches Smith is one of the four remain ing regular Aggie coaches; the others being Homer Norton, Lil Dimmitt, and Bill James. An enor mous load is piled on the shoulders of this quartet who have to make all sorts of shifts to take care of the shorthandedness of the coach ing staff. Manning can always be counted on to be in the thick of things—always taking care of his share of the work and coming back for more. Here’s wishing good luck with all the trimmings to Manning Smith, a swell coach and a grand guy! in the recreation rooms. What will determine promo tions? Your own ability and per formance. Every WAAC has an equal opportunity. Will I be sent overseas? 90% of the WAACs have requested ov erseas duty. Therefore, the chances are you will not be sent overseas unless you request it. What is the meaning of the in signia worn by WAACs? It rep resents Pallas Athena, the Greek goddess of victory and wisdom. Will I continue to receive allot ments from my husband who is in the Service? Yes. After I am sworn in, can I get out of the WAAC in case of need? Yes, in case of emergency the Secretary of War may discharge any member of the WAAC for “cause, disability, or for the con venience of the Government.” But you may not be discharged just because you get homesick. Re member, this war is a serious bus iness. —WINSTEAD— (Continued from Page 1) dentally, it is played on a phono graph each morning before work begins, and the entire company joins in singing the words. Even day-by-day extras must stand and sing with the others, although they may never have heard of Texas A. & M. until they walked into the studio that morning. —REFUND— (Continued From Page 1) College officials and national government officials continue to urge students to remain in school as long as possible, and that the plan to refund unused fees here at A. & M. is a move to assist stu dents who might remain in school if they do not have to risk losing their fee by being called out early in the esmester. -ARMY-NAVY— (Continued from page 1) a notch over the Whites’ ball-tot- ers. You’ll see many familiar names such as Bill Compton and Bill Thomas, both who have seen some varsity squadmen experience, Vance Carrington, the star of last year’s Maroon victory, Earl Bemus, Lad die Licka, Oscar Turner, and many others. There is plenty of speed, namely Compton, plenty of power, namely Thomas, and plenty of passing from the rifle arm of Car rington. * Maroons Have Line Stars Too Though the Maroon line does not measure up to the White for ward wall, neverthless, there are some boys on that line who can go places. These include David Schmidt, a boy who Coach Homer Norton has already invited out for spring training, John Knight, star center of the 1941 freshman team, Lacy Wheeler and Charles Schae- del, star linemen of the Maroons last year, Louis Buck, over-sized tackle and many others. Indications are that a large crowd, including senior ring dance celebrationists, will atend this in teresting fray, which, as mention ed before will star on the dot at 3 o’clock.

Much praise is due the In tramural department and the rec reation officers and thier assist ants for their splendid work during the semester now closing. —CAGERS— (Continued from Page 5) off with their shooting and guarding in last Wednesday’s game with Baylor, but things might be different tonight. The Aggies have been very weak in the free throw department. In the T. C. U. game, the Cadets made 3 out of 14, and the Baylor game, 6 out of 15. Free throws won the Baylor clash and may prove the deciding factor in tonight’s tilt. Texas has been hit ting regular from the foul line, 9 for 11 in the S. M. U. game. In every department, the game should prove a thriller seeing lots of fire and hustle, resulting In close guarding and many shots. The Ags wil be on the rebound af ter the Baylor loss, and the Un iversity boys will be after their fourth win. SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 1943 11:25 a.m.—Music 11:30 a.m.—Treasury Star Parade (U. S.
