60 Thousand Men
To Be In Army
Program By August
Sixty thousand men will be en
rolled in the Army Specialized
Training Programs in 145 colleges
by the end of July, the War De
partment announced Sunday. 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

Plant Pathologist
Discusses Plowing
By B. H. 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.

souces in wartime. 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. &

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.
