What do they need, and what is done for them with the money given by American students through the World Student Service Fund? The regulations concerning pris- oners-of-war were established by international convention in Gene va in 1929. According to this convention, the belligerent powers which hold prisoners must feed them the same food, in amount and quality, which they give their own soldiers of the same rank. Cloth ing and shelter of specified ade- quancy must be provided. Offi cers may not be required to work, though enlisted men may be given work of non-military nature. All the belligerents are observing these regulations. It is interest ing to know what the only inter national law observed today are these regulations regarding pris oners of war. The problem of a prison camp, then, becomes a problem not of food and clothing but of morale. Nowhere in the world is there as much leisure time as today in the prison camps of the world. No where is there greater boredom, more complete discouragement, lower morale. Time hangs heavy indeed. The World Student Service Fund, through its administering commit tee in Geneva, is meeting some of these intellectual and spiritual problems among prisoners-of-war who were students or professors when they entered the army. Travelling secretaries visit the camps, gain the confidence of the commandant, and then are able to work directly with the men. Class es are organized ranging from dentistry and architecture to theo logy. Requests are made for books which are sent in. Rec reational equipment is provided; and soon soft-ball, scorer, basket ball teams may be organized. Phonographs and records are sometimes provided. When it has been possible to get musical in struments, enthusiastic orchestras or string quartettes have been the result. Worship groups and study clubs have been spontaneously formed. The boost to morale is remark able. Life takes on new meaning as hope returns. Here is the sal vaging of human material, of the leadership necessity to the recon struction of the world after the war is over. —AGGIES— (Continued From Page 3) Patronize Our Agent In Your Outfit. 2:1565 DYEftd-PUR STORAGE HATTERS rtverxcan.

General Page said that the Se lective Service Regulations have recently been amended to require that every registrant, who has been liable for training and service for six months or more, shall have a Notice of Classification in his personal possession at all times, and that failure to do so shall be considered a violation of the Act and punishable as a Federal of fense. -KYLE FIELD— (Continued From Page 3) finished business to attend to— in the direction of Tokio and Ber lin .. .

Plastics to Play Vital Part in War Not only are plastic parts used in the manufacture of vital war products but they are also better than metal for some heavy-duty applications in steel mills, Dr. G. Frank D’Aleilio, head of the Gen eral Electric plastics laboratory at Pittsfield, Mass., declared in a General Electric Science Forum address. For military use there are plas tic helmet liners, plastic parts n every gas mask, and plastic bayo net handles, according to Dr. D’- Alelio, whose company is the larg est molder of plastics in the in dustry. He said that the average battleship has more than a thou sand different plastic parts on it, and each tank and airplane contains hundreds of plastic parts. Morter shells have plastic fuse caps, and bombers have plastic noses. Training planes, landing barges, torpedo boats and invasion gliders are made of plastic-bonded plywood. Plastics are found in super charger manufacture, in gun con trol mechanisms, in radio antenna housings. Firing pins of anti aircraft shells are made of pas ties. There are plastic detonators on torpedoes. Dr. D’Alelio also mentioned that many of our new vessels will have plastic bearings on their drive shafts, because plastic bearings wear longer and can take tougher punishment than any other bear ing. “The development of the plas tics industry in the last few years, frankly, has been astonishing,” Dr. D’Alelio pointed out. The wonderful wartime develop ments in the plastics industry in dicate that after the war we will find plastics for much greater im portance in our everyday life, said Dr. Alelio. He predicts that houses will have a great deal of construc tion embodying plastics, and that our everyday clothing will be made of plastic materials. Soil Conservation Employee Transferred Dr. H. V. Geib, formerly with the research department of the Soil Conservation Service at College Station, is enroute to Bogata, Co lombia, where he will serve as Ag ricultural Advisor to the American Embassy.

Coulter Smith Bryan, Texas Phone 2-6725 -TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 19, 1943 Intramurals - By Mike Mann — By defeating M Infantry in the Class B football semi-finals, the K Infantry team moved into the finals anj cinched a tie for the Freshman Intramural Champion ship for the second semester. Tied with the Infantry team is F Field Artillery. Both of the clubs have 305 points. However, W. L. Penberthy of the Intramural Dept, stated that the coveted Intramural flag will be awarded to one of the two. The winner will be determined later, he said. Also noticeable was the climb of A Coast Artillery to sixth place. Winning their second championship in two weeks yesterday, (they won volley ball last week) they ad vanced to sixth with a total of 266.6 points. A list of the first ten teams and their scores follows: 1. K Infantry 305. F. Field Artillery 305. 3. I Coast Artillery 300. 4. B Infantry 290. 5. Hq. Signal Corps..— 282.5 6.

February 13—16 Seniors for the Tank Destroyer Unit (Cavalry, In fantry and Field Artillery) to Camp Hood. The purpose of this voluntary induction is to transfer the seniors after getting in the army as a draftee to an inactive reserve status, in other words, they must be in the ERG before they can be called to duty, stated Lieutenant Colonel L. W. Marshall. After enlisting, the local board will send the seniors to an induc tion center where they will be made corporals and will remain there for a brief period until their time to be sent to their respective base training camps for officer candidate training.
