Tonight the trend of thought was of the new arrivals. We met two of the men, themselves, and our impressions were good. They’ve got some fel lows over there who have just come back from over there and really have some tales to tell. They will tell them through the med ium of the press, so watch for them—they’ll be good. Well, check flights seem to be quite prevalent lately, and the re sults have been cause of joy or depression, as the case may be. Mr. “Three Point” Simmons leam- ned that a plane lands nose first, not sideways, but he learned through experience. Also, Mr. Bill “Crash” Peters thinks a good time to practice “S” curves is on take offs. Well, that’s the way it goes, some do and the smart ones don’t. All sorts of accidents have been happening for the last two days in first aid classes. Our boys have been the victoms of various ail ments and injuries, have been treat ed, have come back from the dead, and have, in return, saved the life of one of their comrades. “Dusty” Rhodes, suffering from face lace rations, possible fractured Skull, and shock lay bandaged like a Smithstonian replica of the mortal remains of King Tut reading His C.

Comdr. John Morrill received orders to scuttle his ship. His landing boat was already shot out of commission. With a volunteer party he swam back under heavy Jap fire to carry out orders. The Navy Cross and American Defense Service Medal have been awarded him. Your Second War Loan Bonds help huild replacements for such heroes and swell our Navy’s strength. First Impressions Of A & M Revealed New arrivals at the A. & M. Air Crew Training Detachment have expressed their first impres sions in the following articles sub mitted to the ACTN, which we are happy to pass on to the read ers. New arrivals, coming from all parts of the nation, are finding, with a great 'deal of pleasure, a very pleasant and happy associa tion at this training center: First Impression One’s first impression of the military A. & M. campus is im pressing. The train rolled into College Station just after sun down. We caught glimpses through the coach windows of what we knew was to be our new home for five months to come. Just as we came to a squeaking stop, the band sounded off with the Air Corps song. It made us all feel fine deep down inside. This feeling was gen erally mutual from the first mo- menton. Everyone has treated us in a gentlemanly manner, far ex ceeding our faintest expectations. It’s “gentlemen,” or “mister” now and not the familiar “you,” “bud,” or “soldier” used in address. The majority of Aviation stu dents, coming from nice homes as they do, feel right at home now, with the formerly accustomed to springs on the beds, tile showers, meals which stand second to none. Even the addition of another sheet is something none too familiar with the enlisted men of Army camps with which we are provided here at A. & M. The commissioned officers, non commissioned, acting and student offiners are friendly, cheerful, helpful and do anything they can for fledglings of the future. The discipline is naturall ystrict, but should not be considered too “tough,” due to the fact we men “Long May It Wave--” Flag Day Mon.. June 14 On the day set aside for honor to our flag—let us rededicate our selves to devote all our best efforts, both physical and spiritual, to return freedom and justice again to the world.

The Exhange Store ‘An Aggie Institution” are all “potential” officers in the AAF of tomorrow. Our first impression of the older students and college Aggies was a grand experience also, for several times we were cheered heartily, marching to the barracks from the station, to mess call and around the campus. All in all, the new Aviation Stu dents are very much impressed with Texas A. & M. and the man ner in which the Air Corps deals with her men here. One man was heard to state upon inspecting his room that he would not even take a furlough if offered one, being so pleased with the con ditions at the A. & M. “West Pointette” of the air.—A/S Mar tin E. Ismert, Jr. We had a funny feeling in the pit of our stomachs, a tingling sensation along our spines and we were thrilled beyond belief. To have a brass band meet us at the stations was beyond our wildest expectations. “On the double, mister.” Those words were the first we heard as we started to get off the train. We stood not knowing what to do. Could a guy with stripes on upside down be telling us what to do? Impossible! If he were talking to us, he would have said, “Get the hell out of there in a hurry, Meat- heads.” Slowly but surely it dawn ed upon us that he was talking to us. Yes, talking to us and calling us gentlemen. The atmosphere was infectious. Already we were silent ly vowing to live up to the com pliment paid to us. Next we were ordered into four ranks. The band again started playing the Air Corps song. Light hearted, we followed them thru the large gates that seemed to have welcome written over them. Up the treelined street we marched looking at the large, beautiful clean buildings and at the trees, shrubs and grass covered parade grounds. The command, eyes front, never penetrated our daze. Yes, our first impression of A. & M. College was favorable. The band was still playing that famous song that begins “Off we go,” the tune they played was no longer just a tune and the words were no longer just words. To us it meant the beginning. We were on the threshhold of our ambition silently vowing that we would be eager beavers with a goal to reach and an ideal to work toward. Down deep inside us we knew that A. & M. College would give us full help and support so that none would fall by the way.—A/S Miclea. Shipping Doubles That of World War I Statistics Reveal NEW YORK—More than 18,- 000,000 tons of cargo, over twice as much as was shipped by the United States during all of World War I, has been sent overseas during the present conflict, Major Gen. Charles P. Goss, chief of the United States Army Transporta tion Corps, said Thursday. This has been accomplished, he told more than 500 executives of railroad and steamship lines at a special meeting of the State Cham ber of Commerce, although “the average overseas haul is twice as long as in 1917 and 1918.” “Army vessels put into more than 100 foreign ports of call, many in strange and distant places, and many having only the most primitive unloading facilities, such as Guadalcanal, Espiritu, Santu, Noumea and Amchitka,” he add- -THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 10, 1943 Saturday 12 11:25 a. m.

The course offered this year is designed both for serving those wishing to acquire training, ex perience and the basic fundamen tals of cotton classification, and for those who have had consid erable experience in producing, processing or handling cotton, but who wish to improve their un derstanding of cotton classing and the effect that recent re search is havifig on the type of cotton recommended for best pro duction and spinning, Dr. Trotter declared. Students are being taught why certain types of cot ton previously thought perfectly satisfactory are becoming un popular because they create prob lems in the mill such as excessive waste and lower breaking strength. fig HAIL, OLD GLORY Flag Day, June 14 On this occasion, when the flag and its colors mean more to us than ever before, we pause to Salute Old Glory on the day set aside in honor of our American symbol.
