NAVY V-l AND V-7
1. The Navy Department has requested
the college to conduct a qualifying ex
amination for all men listed in the Class
V-l who will have completed four or more
semesters in college by the end of this
semester. Other V-l students will be giv
en a qualifying examination during the
last half of their sophomore year. The
examination will be given on Tuesday,
April 20th, in the Assembly Hall and is
expected to take the entire day.
2. Professor G. B. Wilcox will be in
charge of the examination.
3. Students will be given authorized
absences from classes while actually tak
ing the examination.
4. V-l students who pass the qualifying
examination will be placed on active duty
about July 1, 1943, and assigmed to col
leges designated for Naval Training. Those
who. by the close of this semester, have
completed six or seven semesters will
receive one additional semester in college;
those with four or five semesters will
receive two additional semesters; those
with two or three semesters completed
will receive three additional, and those
who will have completed one semester’s
work will receive four additional semes
ters. Engineering Reservists with satis
factory grades may be allowed to complete
a total of eight semesters.
6. V-7 students who lack more than one
semester of completing their requirement
for a degree, will be placed on active
duty and assigned to a college giving
Naval Training about July 1st. Those who
lack one semester or less of completing
their courses here, may remain on inac-
■ tive duty here for an additional semester,
or they may request permission to be called
to active duty and assigned to another
institution to complete their course.
F. C. BOLTON, Dean
WE ARE ADVISED that members of
the Enlisted Reserve Corps, who are not
on active duty, are eligible for the A-12
examination scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday,
April 2nd. The Commanding General of
the Eighth Service Command urges that
all take the examination to establish their
ability for further college training later.
All such students should call at my
office at their first vacant period and
make application for permission to take
the examination. The A-12 application
blanks are now available both to the
Enlisted Reserves and to any other stu
dents who may desire to take the exam
ination.

2.Professor G. B. Wilcox will be in
charge of the examination, which will be
held in the Assembly Hall.
3. Students will be given authorized ab
sences from classes while actually taking
the examination.
4. The following disposition of Marine
Reserves now in college is contemplated:
(a) Those who receive their degrees
this semester will be called to ac
tive service on or before August
30, 1943, and assigned to candidate’s
class.
(b) Those who are now juniors and
seniors will be called to active duty
and assigned to further college train
ing in an institution selected for

Successful candidates will be placed"
on active duty as privates in the
U. S. Marine Corps Reserve about
July 1st and assigned to a college
giving Marine Corps Training.
(d) These Marine Corps Reserves who
do not qualify in this examination
will thereby be eliminated from the
College Training Program.
6. The college has been requested to
furnish certain personnel information re
garding each Marine Reserve. Each in

in his bed. Mind you, I said started
off and not finish, for although the
Aggies are far from Barracks 2,
they still have ideas in mind.
Poncho took that pretty good and
in doing so gave the Cadets a lot
of laughs. After finding the cereal
in his bed his first remark went
like this: “When I came in the
barrack one Aggie greeted me
after another and I knew some
thing was up . . . but where did
you get those Grape Nuts?
One thing followed another until
Saturday night when Poncho tried
to sleep in another barrack. We
all knew we were leaving Sunday
morning and with that in mind and
he knew it, Poncho didn’t want to
sleep in that barrack that night.
It took him ten minutes to get in
his room although nothing had been
dope to it (much). Tales reached
him that the Aggies had sawed the
rafters in two from the bottom
floor, and Monaco went in his room
feeling the floor like a girl does
the first time she goes swimming.
These Texas Aggies have a les
son for many in this day and age
and believe me, they practice it.
That is a sense of humor. They
made fun where others that were
there at the same time found bore-
some and work. Don’t get the wrong
idea, for the Aggies worked when
the time came. Incidentally, the
only barrack that was perfect
during, inspection Saturday, was
the site for all their antics. All was
not fun but those laughs from time
to time found their place where
they were needed most.
Because of the good distribution
of fun and work, the boys from
Aggieland carried a good name with
them and left it there. Because
they could laugh, non-coms hated
to see the Aggies leave. They got
a kick out of drilling the cadets
and at every opportunity they made
it known who was in command.
Before leaving, the Cadets all
kicked in a dime or so and made a
present of a couple of cartons of
cigarettes to every “House Moth
er.” There were two to each bar
racks. At times the non-coms wish
ed there were more.
Many more tales could be told
if space permitted, but through it
all, the Texas Aggies will be re
membered for a long time at the
Reception Center at Fort Sam
Houston, Texas.
—TRACK TEAM—
(Continued From Page 3)
does not have a place on the Re
lays program. Whether Texas can
get together a top mile relay team
by Saturday is one of the minor
problems facing Littlefield now.
Hurdles interest will center in
the special event for all comers in
the 120-highs, where Rice Insti
tute’s Bill Cummins, Texas’ Doug
las Jacques, Texas A. & M.’s Pete
Watkins, and Oklahoma A. & M.’s
Ralph Tait will meet. Watkins is
favored to establish a new high
jump record, although he will have
to out-jump Rice’s Bill Christopher
to do the trick.
Garland Bridges, a Howard
Payne senior letterman will oppose
Texas’ Max Minor, Stan Tharp
and Bert Lindsey in the special
100-yard dash, and Oklahoma A.
& M. will enter two men for the
event.
Sprint relay honors are current
ly held by the University of Texas
team, although Rice Institute’s
1941 team set the record at 41.4
seconds. Minor, Tharp, Lindsey,
and Footballer Jackie Field will
comprise the team which will seek
to lower the mark for Texas this
trip. Minor and Field were on the
combination rated second in the
nation last year.
Weight event top hands will ap
parently be Jack Sachse of Texas,
Bill Blackburn of Rice and Bill
Henderson of A. & M., although
Bob Williams of Southwest Texas
Teachers has defeated Sachse and
Henderson previously in the discus,
and Frank Shirley of the San Mar
cos Teachers has won the pole vault
in high-sounding competition.
Representatives of all Southwest
Conference schools except T. C. U.
and Arkansas will have entries in
the meet, as will college and uni
versity teams from six states. Thir
ty high schools and five junior col
leges have filed entries, and seven
armed service posts will be repre
sented.
University class relays are the
quarter-mile ,half-mile, mile, two
mile, distance medley and sprint
medley events. Colleges have their
medley and their one mile relays
and junior colleges their mile and
quarter-mile relays. High school
teams may enter medley, mile or
quarter-mile relay events.
Special events open to university
and college entries and service
men, are the 100-yard dash, the
high hurdles, 3000-meter run, shot
put, discus, javelin, high jump,
broad jump, and pole vault.
Junior colleges, academies and
service men desiring may compete

creased interest in egg grades, as
ceilings are hardly possible on a
semi-perishable product such as
eggs unless they are sorted into
quality and size grades, Professor
Parnell believes. Texas merchants
candle eggs but do little grading.
“Candling is but the first step
in a grading program,” Parnell
says. “I believe grades can be
quickly and easily trained in Texas
if egg handlers want to go to a
full grading program. At present
most dealers are handling eggs as
'assorted’ or current receipts with
most of them being resold without
grading. However, there is a lot of
interest in grading, Professor Reid
reports, and the A. & M. College
Poultry Husbandry Department of

help in meeting the demand for

Scientific Or
Technical Studies
To Give Deferments
College students in the scientific
and technical fields may be defer
red until July 1, 1945, under the
provisions of a new occupational
bulletin sent from Selective Serv
ice Headquarters to local boards
last week.
In colleges which are running on
accelerated programs, this broad
liberalization of the deferment pol
icy for college students means that
men who now enter freshman
classes in the approved fields are
eligible immediately on enrollment
for deferment for the whole length
of their college training. Formerly
deferment was only possible for
students who had completed at
least part of their courses.
Materially affected by the re
vised policy are under-graduate
and graduate students in scientific
and specialized fields, internes, and
students of agriculture, forestry,
pharmacy and optometry.
The specialized fields in which
graduate and under-graduate stu
dents are ‘eligible for deferment
are: aeronautical engineers, auto
motive engineers, bacteriologists,
chemical engineers, chemists, civil
engineers, geophysicists, mathema
ticians, mechanical- engineers, me
teorologists, mining and metallur
gical engineers (including mineral
technologists), naval architects, pe
troleum engineers, physicists, (in
cluding astronomers), radio engi
neers, safety engineers, sanitary
engineers, transportation engineers
—air, highway, railroad, water.
The occupational bulletin sent to
the draft board states: “A student
in under-graduate work in any of
the scientific and specialized fields
listed should be considered for oc
cupational classification if he is a
full-time student in good standing
in a recognized college or univer
sity and if it is certified by the in
stitution as follows: (1) that he is
competent and gives promise of
successful completion of such
course of study, and' (2) that if
he continues his progress he will
graduate from such course of study
on or before July 1, 1943.”
Graduates and post-graduates
who are acting as graduate assist
ants in a recognized college as well
as pursuing further studies should
alos be considered for deferment,
the bulletin states. A graduate as
sistant is defined as anyone who is
pursuing scientific research certi
fied by a federal agency, or who is
acting as a classroom or laboratory
instructor in one of the approved
fields for not less than 12 hours a
week.
The bulletin instructs local draft
boards to consider under-graduate,
pre-professional, medical, dental,
veterinary, osteopathic, and theo
logical students for deferment if
(1) they are full-time students in
a recognized college or university,
(2) if it is certified by their insti
tution that they will graduate be
fore July 1, 1945, and (3) if it is
certified by a recognized melical,
dental, veterinary, osteopathic, or
theological college that they are
accepted for admission when they
finish their pre-professional work.
