Free Movies To Be
Shown Tomorrow
At Assembly Hall
OWI Films Present 5 New
Shorts Featuring MacArthur
And “Give Me Liberty”
Free movies will be shown at
the Assembly Hall at four o’clock
on Sunday afternoon. Tomorrow
afternoon’s program is made up,
with one exception, of an excellent
group of movies about our war
activities and those of our allies
and the leaders involved in them.
MacArthur, American Soldier is
a record of the peak moments in
the fighting career of our famous
general. We see scenes of him in
France during the last war; being
sworn in as chief of staff, and as
an observer in France and Ger
many. Recent, exciting shots show
him stationed in the Phillipines
and his spectacular flight to Aus
tralia.
Manila Bombed is one of the
most incriminating documents we
have on the atrocities of the Japs.
After MacArthur has declared
Manila an open city, the Jap bomb
ers roar overhead causing wide
spread destruction; callously mut
ilating civilians and blowing their
homes skyward. Here is an example
of completely lawless war. The
history of the bombing of Manila
is unforgetably told in I Saw the
Fall of the Phillipines, a book by
Carlos Romulo, Phillipine news
paper editor and aide to General
MacArthur.
The British Commandos and
their daring leader, Lord Montbat-
etn, have become legendary. The
fast moving ten minute film,
Britain’s Commandos in Action,
pictures one of their Norweigan
raids on Nazi garrisons. The Com
mandos take off under fire. There
is fighting in the streets and from
house to house, explosions, fires,
and Nazi planes being shot down.
The sound and commentary with
this film are both unusually good.

Students Are Urged
To Apply For Jobs
at Placement Office
The need for student employ
ment on the campus has been
urgently viewed lately by the Stu
dent Placement Office, under the
direction of W. R. Horsley.
In past years there were at
least four students for every job
available on the campus, but now
the situation has reversed and
there are four jobs for every
working student.
The main difficulty seems to be
finding Aggies who really have the
spare time to spend at the work
and who really want it. Many dif
ferent kinds of jobs are open and
there is no trouble for the pros
pective worker in finding a job
at which he is capable.
Along with the labor situation
comes the job of instructing and
increasing the range of knowledge
of the present student laborers.
According to Horsley, this semes
ter the student welfare organiza
tions plan to have movies and
talks for the students in their re
spective vocations.
Anyone interested in applying
for a student labor job is requested
to come to the Placement Office
in the basement of the Administra
tion Building. The working require
ments have been changed from
those of last semester.

4TH OF JULY
This year the 4th of July will
not be celebrated with the cus
tomary fireworks and other
festivities, due to the fuss across
the big drink. But in the
hearts of millions of freedom-
loving people here in America,
there will be thanksgiving for
their forefathers who first
fought for their freedom here
in the United States of Ameri
ca. Let us all be thankful.

Bryan Minister
Meets Ags In Army
Rev. J. H. R. Farrell, of Bryan
who recently returned from a visit
to Denver, Colo., and San Francis
co and Los Angeles, Cal., found
graduates of the naval radio
school wishing for the genial hos
pitality of Texas.
He met about 50 of them while
visiting four brothers at stations
in California and on the trip met
about 130 former Aggies. They
recognized him by the A. & M.
Mother’s club button which he
wore on the lapel of the coat.
While dining out one night, he ask
ed the orchestro leader if he knew
the “Aggie War Hymn.” His an
swer was to play a few bark and
immediately a “hurrah” went up
over the room.
Excessive prices for meals were
noted in California, where most
meals cost about $3.00. In Denver,
they were considerably less.
Rev. Farrell visited four broth
ers in the service in California and
his mother, Mrs. Arthur Clark
son in Denver. Another brother is
in the service in Hawaii.
“Music of Tomorrow” Is
Style Featured by Band
Leader Appearing Here
George Olsen and has famous
band with their “Music of Tomor
row” will be the guests of the
Navy and Marines at their Corps
dance to be held in Duncan Hall
on July 10. The dance will carry on
from 8 to 12 with the girls being
dressed formally and the men in
their regular attire.
Florence Ziegfeld started Olsen
on his way to fame when she
brought his band from the Pacific
Coast to play in the cities of the
east. The musical production,
“Kid Boots,” with Eddie Cantor
as the leading character, put his
band among the list of famous
bands and it has been up at the
top ever since. Other musical
shows such as “Whoopee,” “Happy
Days,’.’ and “Ziegfeld Follies” fol
lowed “Kid Boots.”
Olsen and his band have been
featured at the Waldorf and
Pennsylvania Hotels, the Sherman,
and the Rice Hotel in Houston, be
sides several other well-known
hotels. Everyone who attends the
Navy-Marine dance is assured of
a good time.

Juke Box Prom To
Be At 8:30 Tonight
Tonight in the Grove starting at

Service-men bringing dates will oe
admitted free. The price for stags
will be 25c as usual.
Last Saturday night there was
an increased amount of girls at the
dance much to the approval of the
male dancers. The prospect of get
ting girls to come to these dances
from Navasota, Brenham, Cald
well, and other surrounding com
munities, is still vague, but is a
good posibility.
A good number of new records
have been recently received and
will be on hand at the prom to be
held tonight.

Groneman Articles
Published In June
IAVE Magazine
The June issue of Industrial Arts
and Vocational Education maga
zine, published by the Bruce Pub
lishing Company of Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, concluded a series of
six timely magazine articles since
January by C. H. Groneman, Act
ing Head of the Industrial Educa
tion Department.
Each article was titled “Teach
ing Materials for Industrial Edu
cation” and consisted of an annota
ted listing of well over 2000 in
expensive booklets, pamphlets,
charts, models, exhibits, and pro
jection materials which would as
sist the director, supervisor, and
teacher of industrial, vocational
and mechanics courses.
This listing was comprised only
of materials available free or for
the cost of transportation from
industries and associations. Books
and magazine articles from various
publishers were not included.
Mr. Groneman’s first compila
tion of a similar nature, but much
shorter in content, appeared in the
same magazine two years ago.
Merchants Urged to
Stock Up on Change
It has been suggested by Fi
nance Officers that the proprietors
and merchants of College Station
and nearby establishments should
stock up at the end of the month
with plenty of change, due to the
increasing amount of large bills
and checks that the servicemen
have to cash.
The Sailors, Soldiers, Marines,
and Aviation Students have found
it difficult in the past to cash
their large bills at local places of
business.

Committees Have
Been Appointed by
Soph Presidents
In a meeting with L. D. Boone
at the Student Activities Office
Wednesday evening, activities for
the Sophomore Ball were gotten
under way.
Bill Terrell, president of the
second semester Sophomores, and
G. C. Allbright, president of the
first semester Sophomores, are co-
chairmen of all which they have
appointed. These committees are
equally represented from each
class. The decoration committee
is composed of H. H. Landers and
W. Shannon while H. J: Roberts
and Marion Rosmarion make up
the orchestra committee. On the
finance committee are A. C.
Muse, J. H. Torros, F. F. Dye, L.
Moss, John Taylor and Bob Huff.
The orchestra committee has al
ready begun to function and is
contacting various orchestras
throughout the state. Members of
the Sophomore class are reminded
that, due to the small size of their
class, tickets for the dance will be
slightly highel than in the past.
Although the weekend of Aug
ust 13-14 has been tentatively se
lected for the dance, every effort
will be made to have it on the
same week-end that “We’ve Never
Been Licked” is premiered.
around two hours is expected to be
of interest to everyone in the vicin
ity of College Station and Bryan
and should draw a larger crowd
than any of the previous Kapers.
Harding, who comes from Wash
ing, South Carolina, has the ability
and personality that will please
any audience and send them away
with the feeling that their even
ing was well spent. “Bob Burns of
Washington, South Carolina,” as
he is frequently referred to, has a
homespun philosophy and with
which is interspersed with singing
and accordian playing that can’t be
topped by anyone that has ever
been to College Station.
Starting his career as a hobby,
Harding soon went into it as a
professional and has kept at it
ever since. He entertained at var
ious local clubs and army camps
before touring the country, but he
became such a hit that he turned
to it professionally and started
on a tour of entertaining army
camps service men.
College Station and Bryan Ro-
tarians will remember Harding as
the man who entertained them so
well at their district convention
held in Beaumont this year. Hard
ing has spent all of this year at
army camps and Civic Clubs with
entertainment for all as the prime
purpose of his visits there.
A special invitation is isued to
the A. & M. faculty, College Sta
tion and Bryan residents, as well
as to the Aggies, Sailors, Marines,
Engineers, and Air Corps who are
here to attend this show. There is
no admission charge and there is
hope that the Hall will be filled
to capacity. Richard Jenkins, who
is in charge of Kampus Kapers is
confident that Harding will have
something of interest for all who
attend and he hopes that everyone
who possibly can will be on hand
at the time for the program to be
gin.

Aggies Show Happy Reaction Toward Holidays on the 23rd
Upon announcement of the mid-
semester holidays last Thursday,
Aggies on the campus let forth
shouts of excitement and joy.
Relief from the strenuous life of
a Cadet gave many students a new
burst of energy for the coming
weeks.
hoy to spend them all during
Plans were being made as to
morning mess, and by noon every
thing was fairly well settled. For
the campused Frogs, any place
off the campus will do. The upper
classmen are harder to please.
Missing the care free pre war
days, “Spider” Westbrook will be
content with anything less than
“Wine, Women, and Song. Well,
women anyway.”
A vengeful sophomore plans to
stay here the whole eighty four
hours here just so he can “rib
the Air Corps” about their drill
ing; he is in the Naval Reserves,
no doubt.
To the “Fish” it’s the best news
they have heard since they have
been here, which is just long
enough to get the “reds” de-luxe
for the tender embrace of that
woman “back home”; therefore,
they hope to quence those “reds”
by having feminine companionship
for a good part of the time.
Someone always has to “bleed,”
but the most unusual one heard
this year is that of A. R. Kahn.
“I don’t believe they let us have
enough time off,” complained
“Dew Drop” Kahn. “Anyway, I be
lieve its a bribe before we get
some more restrictions.”
“Frogs are really getting bad
when they have to go to the
“Forty Acres” to find amusement,
which is just about what the ma
jority are going to do.
Others plan to do everything
from just visit Mom and Dad to
stay here with the service men.
What ever we do let’s make the
most of it, “ole army,” so that
when we come back we will really
be ready to get back to the old
routine; maybe mid-semester hol
idays will be a regular part of the
A. & M. schedule for the dura
tion) we hope.
To all you fellows in the Air
Corps, Marines, and the Navy, we
are sorry that you don’t get a
holiday, too, but we will be think
ing of you and try to have a good
time for the both of us.
