Coach Homer Norton stated that “Football is rather uncertain
for all colleges in this conference. However, it was decided to continue
college football.” A. & M. Cllege will use the material at hand in
organizing the 1943 team. Who the men will be is unknown at the
present time, hut Texas A. & M. will have a team that will measure
up to the standards set in former years. We are certain that A. & M.
College can stand equal with any other team in the Southwest Con
ference.
Health Officer
Urges Precautions
Against Typhoid
‘' r f you have not been vaccinat
ed against typhoid fever within the
last twq or three years, go to your
doctor and secure this protection
at once,” Dr. Ceo. W. Cox, State
Health Officer, advises prospective
campers, Boy and Girl Scouts, and
other summer vacationists as the
out-of-door season approaches.
“Typhoid fever,” he continued,
“is unnecessary and preventable.
Every case is due either to com
munity negligence or to the ignor
ance or carelessness of some indi
vidual. There would be no deaths
from typhoid if every person were
protected by typhoid “shots.”
Some of the most serious and
far reaching outbreaks of the dis
ease have been caused by drinking
milk or eating foods that have
been handled by carriers. A ty
phoid carrier is a person who has
had typhoid at some time and who
even after recovery carries the
germs of the disease in the urine
and the discharges from the in
testinal tract. Carriers who are
careless in their personal habits
are likely to infect any food they
handle with unwashed hands.
Dr. Cox explained the typhoid
germs are picked up and spread
from person to person by water,
milk, flies, fingers, food. Every
case of typhoid is contracted by
the way of the mouth and the di
gestive system.-“The only way to
be absolutely sure of typhoid pre
vention is by immunization,” he
declared.
American war expenditures for
the first quarter of 1943 were
about a billion dollars more than
for the entire war year 1918.
Most German bookshops have
been stripped clean of all well-
known classical literature, though
they continue to receive large
stocks of Hitler’s “Mein Kampf”
and books by other Nazi party
leaders.
Intramurals To
Lead Athletics
For Summer
Texas A. & M. College prides it
self on having one of the countries’
most extensive programs of intra
mural sports. Every effort will be
made during this semester to pro
mote a very extensive program for
the students, and all students are
urged to participate in the sports
of their choice.
The Military organization will be
the unit of competition and these
units will compete against other
such units on the campus in a
variety of sports. Members of
championship teams in each of the
sports offered will receive the of
ficial intramural medal properly en
graved.
Within each unit an athletic of
ficer will be appointed whose duty
it will be to promote intramural
activities within the unit, and to
organize the different teams for
competition.
This semester softball, volley
ball, and tennis will be offered as
the team sports, and in addition
there will be tournaments in such
sports as handball, golf, badmin
ton, and any other sports where
there is sufficient interest. In ad
dition to these it is planned to
have at least one swimming meet
and one track meet. Our plans al
so call for the “Aggie Singaroo”,
a competitive sing which last sum
mer created a lot of interest.
The Department of Physical
Education, through its intramural
program is very anxious to spon
sor any one worth while activity
that will give whoelsome recreation
and competition to students on the
campus, whether they be army,
navy, marine, or air corps.

tural study in college is required.
The positions pay from $1,970 to

at first- and second-class post of
fices, or from the Commission’s
Regional or Washington offices.
Federal appointments are made

the U. S. Employment Service,
Agriculture State or County War
Boards, or from the employer be
fore being accepted for Govern

Army and Navy
Search For Men
In Specialized Fields
The task of scoring papers of
the 300,000 young men who took
the first joint Army and Navy
qualifying pre-induction tests,
marking their eligibility for the
Army and Navy Specialized Train
ing Programs, has been completed
and “congratulatory” letters have
gone out to those with highest
qualifying marks.
The Army expected to have
mailed, by the middle of May,
76,000 letters to the men who will
be given special consideration for
the Army Specialized Training
Programs. The Navy is sending
official notices to men who quali
fied for the Navy training pro
grams, but the number has not
been determined.
The examinations were given in
early April to men who have had
high school education or its equiv
alent. About 200,000 of those tak
ing the tests expressed a prefer
ence for the Army. Scoring of the
papers was supervised by 10 re
gional directors.
All men who qualified will re
ceive cards ear-marking them for
consideration. The Army men will
soon receive additional explicit in
formation, in the form of a book
let of 50 questions and answers,
designed to give the future soldier
a full understanding of ASTP.
Careful consideration will be given
to the individual choice made by
the successful candidate, but the
type of service to which he will
Recognition For The
Nation’s Dairymen
By providing the United Nations
with a tremendous quantity of
high quality dairy products, men
in the dairy industry are doing es
sential work for this fighting
country. Recognizing this vital
contribution being made by the na
tion’s dairymen, The American
Guernsey Cattle Club has insti
gated and is sponsoring a plan for
paying tribute to this deserving
group.
Attractive pins are available for
every person engaged in milking
or feeding Guernsey cattle. These
pins identify the wearers as essen
tial producers of Food for Victory
and will be a source of justifiable
pride in recognition of the impor
tant contribution American dairy
workers are making to the war ef
fort through food production.
Farms that maintain or increase
dairy production this year will be
eligible to receive an Award of
Merit, Victory Certificate. The
owner of a Guernsey herd, or some
person in charge of the herd whom
he may designate, can apply for
one of these certificates. The rec
ord of shipments will determine
eligibility. Any increase in pro
duction and the total production
