At the same time it named 103 of the colleges which will participate in the gigantic program of training specialists in engineering, medi cine, psychology and foreign-area knowledges. Some of the institu tions will have courses in several of these fields. On May 21, the Army an nounced, 21,068 men were in col leges and universities participat ing in the program, including 4,668 who were ordered to new special ized units beginning June 14. There will be a total of 30,000 in the programs by the end of June. Seventeen of the institutions will train for administrative serv ice in foreign areas. The students, the number not specified, will be given intensified courses in his tory and area knowledge—geog raphy, economics, religion, sociol ogy and political customs, lan guage, police science and law en forcement systems of the area to which they are eventually to be assigned. In the occupied countries these specialists will serve as as sistants to senior officers now training at Charlottesville, Va.

Godfrey, Ulant Patholo gist, Substation No. 15 The root-knot nematode, Hetero- dera marioni, is sensitive to high summer temperatures and to dry ing. The nematode eggs and lar vae in the roots of an infected crop can be killed by exposing the roots to the sun, and drying of in fested soils appears to be a means of reducing the damage from this pest in cultivated fields. In the summer of 1942 a farm test was conducted in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, to determine if this prin ciple could be applied practically for reducing nematode infestation in vegetable lands. A 40-acre field trying to feel at home, no doubt. Then there was the bright dew- head who threatened, for various reasons, to buy a house trailer and live at the North Gate. History Prof: “What do they raise in the Oklahoma Dust Bowl?” Aggie: “Dust.” No comment. Flies . . . The other day we heard a good deal of comotion in the hall in B Ramp of Walton. Stick ing our head out to see the cause^ we discovered an Aggie picking himself up from the floor ex claiming: “It’s bad enough when these flies wake you out of a sound sleep pulling you out of the bed, but when they start drag ging you out into the hall in your pajamas, something has to be done’ The fly situation is rather serious over there. As one inmate ex pressed it, “you have to throw a rock and talk through the hole it makes.” Corny, isn’t it? Express es the idea anyway. P.E. , . . Someone should tell the P. E. Department that hazing is against the rules. You should have seen the faces of the group coming in from their first cross country run. Ex’s . . .

Enemy codes and secret writing will be discussed by a Special Agent of the FBI’s Houston Office, who will tell about some of the espionage cases solved by the FBI and local officers. The meeting will end with a short moving picture, made by MGM, showing a group of saboteurs at work in New York City. The pic ture is based on some of the tech niques used by German agents during the first World War. Peace officers and other persons having an official connection with law enforcement have been invit ed to the meeting, Mr. Abbaticchio said. The meeting is designed to promote cooperation among the various local agencies and the FBI, and to provide an opportunity to discuss some of the latest crime detection methods. Officers from Brazos, Madison and Grimes Counties are expected to be at the meeting. It will be held in the Assembly Hall at A. & M. College and will open at 1:00 p. m. belonging to Mr. F. N. Vining in Hidalgo county had showed nema tode damage over a period of years and string beans were severely damaged in the spring of 1942. Following harvest of the beans, the field was given three summer plowings: the first in early July was performed in such a way as to turn the beans over, exposing as much as possible of the invest ed root systems to the sun. The roots were left exposed for several days until they were dry and hard. Most of the nematodes were in the exposed bean roots and were destroyed completely. Plowing un der of the roots would have al lowed the nematodes to survive for several months and attack the next susceptible crop. The second and third plowings were similar to the first, after 7 to 10 day in tervals, with the plow set to turn the soil IV2 inches deeper each time. Each time, the soil was turn ed over completely by setting the discs properly and driving the trac tor at a rapid speed, leaving the deepest layer flat on top of the ground. This operation exposed the nematodes in deeper roots and in the soil to the direct effects of the sun, which extend to a depth of at least 3 inches in hot, dry weather. In this way all but a small propor tion of the original nematode pop ulation of the soil were killed. All three of these plowings were done in 100° F. weather. The intervals between plowings were determined by the weather, rather than by any set schedule.

Campus distractions By Ben Fortson pleted their training as STARS, a general discussion about the schools in which they received their first training was in pro gress. Some of the boys made such remarks as “MY STAR unit was paradise, you should have seen all the women!” and ‘There were 700 girls and 30 boys in my school.” When one fellow spoke up with, “The STAR unit I was in didn’t have much social activity because it was strictly a masculine univer sity. The dormitories were well equipped and the mess halls serv ed some of the best food out. The drills were well under control, sometimes to well. Even though there weren’t many women there, some dances were given at the Country Club and we had to wglk about three miles to get there, but it was worth it. They had more spirit there of any school I have ever attended. The whole school used to come out for the baseball games and they really yelled! Then the civilian students used to come up to us and introduce them selves on the campus. Later on we learned they were freshmen and told to do that, but it sure made us feel good, anyway!” You see, Ole’ Army, the old Aggie Spirit gets into anyone, if they stay here long enough. Speaking . . . Army, a lot of things may have changed around here, but let’s don’t forget to speak to any and everyone we see or meet when walking on the campus or anywhere for that matter. For the benefit of you new freshmen, it has been a tradition down here for a long time, to speak to ev eryone, and it is a valuable trait for use in later life. So how about a few “Hello’s” now and then? Featured at the Campus today, tomorrow and Saturday is the mus ical triumph, ORCHESTRA WIVES, starring Ann Rutherford, George Montgomery, Cesar Rom ero, also Glen Miller and his band. This is a picture showing how jive and wives don’t mix when the boys in the band hit the road. Ann Rutherford plays the part of a cute little jitterbug who falls in love with Miller’s star trumpeter, The two get married and Ann goes along with the other orchestra wives when the band goes on tour. Glen Miller fans will enjoy the fine music put out by the band includ ing such numbers as “Kalamazoo,” “At Last,” “Serenade in Blue,” and “People Like You and Me.” This show is no mere musical but contains a story that all will en joy. JOE PICARD GETS NAME IN PAPER; NO CHARGE PARAMARIBO, Dutch Guiana. —Lieut. Joseph C. Picard Jr. spot ted the green arm-band and the white C worn by a correspondent and was told what it meant. “Gee!” exclaimed Picard, who hails from East Providence, R. L, “I never get my name in the pa per.” You’re wrong, Joe. Here it is. “Orchestra Wives” is truly a jam session of love laughter, and lone some ladies, with the music sweet, hot, and lowdown, and the story down to earth. The Lowdown: Don’t miss it. At Guion Hall today and tomor row is 101 minutes of melodrama entitled CAIRO, with Jeanette Mac Donald and Robert Young. The picture is meant to satirize spy dramas but is just a fair-to- middlin’ show. Miss MacDonald does some fine singing and every one plays his part well, but the story is sadly lacking. It takes place in Cairo and the Pyramids are very evident throughout. To wards the end the satire goes ser ious when a radio controlled bomber tries to blast a troopship to pieces. There are several comedy inci dents in the picture and some fair love scenes. The picture is nothing out of the ordinary but most would call it a pretty fair show. The Lowdown: Let’s call it good.
